I agree, and am surprised at the anger for them not giving the standard and bull shit “upset that they chose to destabilize the region, we support our allies blah blah blah.” Of course we would nuke the shit out of them if they ever tried anything, they know that, we know that, everyone knows it. I don’t like the…

I had to get a degree from a top 50 university to get a 35k job.

Sorry to revive an old tread but I was SHOCKED to see the ExoXGear wasn’t on the list. Great sound, battery life, handles to strap down, AND IT FLOATS. Plus they have great customer service, I lost the backing that seals the charging port and they mailed me a few extras, refusing to take payments. I would buy it a…

I thought it was pretty cool when (I think) Dicks Sporting Goods committed to giving many olympians jobs that could be flexible around their training schedule. I’m surprised more sports-oriented companies don’t do something similar. If a US National Team member told your daughter her favorite stick to play with, or…

Use the chicken maharaja, or the Starbucks latte metrics

I was shocked it wasn’t in the list. Best sound hands-down in all of sports. Clink!

I came here to write something along those lines. But your writing was beautiful and perfectly descriptive. Thanks for your efficiency with a complex concept. Well written. My son is the whole world to me, even when I want to flick him in the face because he is being awful.

The interesting thing about TSLA is that the current administration loves AND hates what they stand for. The live that it’s an American (’murican) company that has American jobs that pay good wages. Trump, deep down inside, knows he’s a scrub, and grudgingly respects people who have actually made it. On the other…

Nope. Ted Cruz.

What about Service Merchandise? That was like Amazon before the internet!

It’s a hobby because there are thousands of different levers to actuate with resultant outcomes. Taking account of “expected outcomes” statistically means you can lever yourself to a point where it is of most benefit. If you look at your car purchases over a 30 year period (6 cars perhaps), and you can borrow for a…

Let’s Go Pens!

That makes sense! It appears I was as naive as I suspected. :)

If I were a famous model I would probably have a select group of people I trust to do my hair and make up. I doubt that’s unusual? The rest is garbage, of course, but justifying Diva-Status because she has her team in place already seems a bit of a stretch. I’m not in the industry though. Or a model. Or a girl. So I…

I work in a boutique wealth advisory practice and we are bound by fiduciary standards. We do not pitch investments to clients, they turn their money over to us and we invest it as we see fit. We do not get paid commissions, we charge a flat fee based on assets under management. It’s a great system. Our clients know…

I believe the credits are for the first several hundred thousand sold per vehicle model. So they might run out soon for the Model S, though the smaller one in development will run out sooner as it’s a higher volume lower cost car.

I think you’re right. And for now, at least, we have term limits. So things could get bad for 4 or 8 years, but one would hope (audacious?) afterwards the electorate would vote for a reasonable human (of either party). And hopefully in the arc of progression, this presidency will be a just a recession of our values as…

Half right. That is Brooks Brothers, but it’s on Smithfield not Wood St. Shot from William Penn Place.

Last year, I was in Aspen at the X Games for a buddy’s bachelor party. We went to a steak dinner at a fancy joint in town and Tony Romo was at the table next to us. He wasn’t a jerk, but was such a loser. They weren’t even drunk but he kept telling the dumbest, not funny and generally awful jokes. Not even offensive,…
