Not sure it’s “bad” that we don’t have laws allowing people to sue their [ex] employer for getting fired allegedly for having a tattoo. People are presumably adults and can decide if the potential social and economic costs are worth getting a tattoo. It’s not like racial discrimination where a person has no choice.

So a career politician thinks a mass transit project is a good idea? What are the chances. If anything, this endorsement makes me less likely to think this will ever be successful. Elon Musk investing his own money to build this is a much more convincing endorsement.

For those who would like to learn a bit about the man who likely saved more lives than anyone in history.

I don’t have any caching/lag issues. Loads up my library pretty much instantly.

Same as the others have said....Plex works great on my Roku (the Roku 3).

David deserves more money for one reason: all those Red Shoe Diaries episodes. Now if Gillian had signed up for some soft-core, it might be a different story.

This should really help once NASA figures out the whole sex in space thing.

We should all eat organic. Because growing all our food in pig shit is obviously safer than using fertilizers created by some evil corporation.

Not to mention “gun deaths” in this statistic (as is usually the case with gun control groups) includes suicides. Given that suicides make up the majority of “gun deaths”, that significantly skews the figures.

Mineral pigments mined by solar powered pixies and refined in plants run on clean burning unicorn poop.

Yup. If we get this for my son it will mean saving a cricket (or perhaps a Dubia roach) from being eaten by our Bearded Dragon. :)

The length of your mortgage makes a big difference for this. If you can swing a 15 year mortgage, much more of each payment will go to paying down principle. In my case the ratio (2 years in) is about 2.5/1/1 (Principle/Interest/Escrow for property taxes).

It’s not “their” land anymore than I own Scotland. Having ancestors from a place doesn’t confer ownership rights in perpetuity.

Putting aside the employee complaints, I’m not sure why anyone shopping there wouldn’t just join. There’s no membership fee and you get a 10% dividend every year.

No need to wait for the paint to dry. But make sure you watch the pot of water you are trying to boil. :)

Yup! Although I’ve heard that you should carefully score the excess paint a bit away from the wood so you leave a small strip of paint on the glass. This will help seal the window against moisture.

He was the secret policeman who murdered innocents for the regime. He wasn’t some idealist who was betrayed.

Just an FYI...they have had two of them up together for several months now. I see (saw) them pretty much every day.

I think it’s also important to note that SS went cash flow negative in 2010. That means that it paid out more in benefits than it collected in taxes. The result? SS benefits had to be paid from General Federal Revenues. These days that means the Federal Reserve prints more money.

At least in the case of 401k’s the money is yours. You can review your statements and see the fees, etc. You can then choose to invest in other funds - usually the best you be an index fund (like an S&P 500 one) which have very low fees.
