I’d do this if I thought it would matter. Having USAA, maybe I’d be able to find lower rates, but that would never make up for the customer service I receive.

Really dumb name. Gee, sweet! How about GAPPs?

If only their website had also accurately said that my SUV couldn’t handle the dual axle trailer, I might not have nearly tipped over or overheated the engine a few times.

I would hope that an trained officer in a zero adrenaline situation would be trained well-enough to follow these rules...and in this context, the officer should be walking the civilians through these rules.

The 200 GB WiFi SanDisk thumb drive because my MBA work laptop only has 100GB, and it’s filled with only my work files (maybe that’s the way it should be?). But I use this laptop for everything now, so having my DropBox on the stick will make life easier.

Score one for cultural sensitivity!

And where was the Ump’s helmet through all this?

I don’t think in this context the folks playing his games are looking for that polished studio quality. Not that those supposedly polished studio games aren’t often bug-ridden.

If you think of each game as successive rough drafts of a paper or lab experiments, there’s a ton of learning happening. Releasing these games in this context is a form of low-risk failure, and at each turn, he was able to see and experience and hear from players what needed to be done to make a better game. If…

Great article! I saw this video on Facebook a couple days ago and was glad to see someone had already commented on its BS. If anything, I think you might be able to think about near and far (proximal and distal?) empathy. Empathy for the armless baby trying to call across the floor in front of you and future…

Great piece! And these was exactly the questions I asked myself when moving from a 1995 Jeep to a 2016. “Are the cost of repairs so frequent that they’re starting to look like car payments, and is the lack of reliability preventing you from your daily functions?”

Lost all mine in a move. The Homeworld manual was the best.

Strunk and White have been called linguistic incompetents on more than one occasion by actual linguists, for example Steven Pinker. S&W clearly break rules they’ve defined in other sections of the book. The fact that it’s adopted so often, likely in first-year composition courses, points to the need for writing…

Sorry, but the lack of a full orchestra (just some dude on a keyboard) fails to stir any emotion. I know it sounds a lot like the Wing Commander music, but they need to upgrade.

Hey, baby. Wanna wrestle?

Have they done a cost/benefit analysis with this kind of shit and decided any bump in sales from being proactive can never touch sales recovering after getting caught red-handed?

That makes more sense. I bought new windows, siding, had to encapsulate the crawl space (and install a sump pump), etc., so far.

$10k. I’ve spent over $20k on a 1987 house and I’m doing all the work myself!!!

Buy a duplex. Rent out one side and live in the other! Then start saving again for a home for yourself. When ready to buy, you get to rent out the unit you lived in. Now you have one unit paying the mortgage for the duplex and another unit paying for you new home. Keep saving though because you also need pay for…

Since you have to add your height to your profile on most dating sites, your argument doesn’t hold water. If you write 6’ (and you use the photo you describe) but you’re really 5’6”, that is lying. I’m shocked if you don’t think this is lying.

Most dating sites also ask you to describe your body type. If you put “About…
