I’m dying...

Oh, “after”. Well, that explains why it wasn’t working for me.

The sad thing about this is it shows one of the great failures of our educational system. The fact that we don’t teach personal finance (and I use that term deliberately instead of economics) is a large part of the reason that so many people are in financial trouble.

Ordinarily lists have 2 items that make sense. In this case, all ten are right on the subject. Thanks.

What makes their anger even more puzzling is that snowflakes, etc. have nothing at all to do with the Christian-meaning of Christmas, sooooo they are really angry over nothing. If anything, they should be angry at all of the commercialization of Christmas.

You’re probably going to have to tell the editor of Kinja Deals to take a break...

I don’t know. They may have a point. Those cups don’t look anything like the ones Jesus drank his Gingerbread Lattes out of.

Clearly they haven’t taken Gizmodo to heart.

Someone, in a brilliant act of greenwashing, has released a product called “boxed water” that I see everywhere in Seattle now. I wish I was making this up: http://www.boxedwaterisbetter.com/

I imagine the appearance section of the judging form is “Clear? Y N”

Thank you. The marketing of bottled water relies on people’s unsubstantiated fears, and their susceptibility to bullshit. Pro tip, people: Dasani and its ilk is tap water. Run through an industrial grade filter.

Can people (unless you live in a country without viable drinking water) please stop drinking bottled water altogether? It’s an absolutely huge unnecessary hit on the environment. Fill something up from the tap. Use a filter if you don’t like the taste.

I’m a big fan of Lifehacker which is why I’m sad to see them promoting one of the most obvious ecological aberration in the world. Having lived in India I can tell you bottled water is useful there... but in the US, just like in nearly all developed countries, bottled water certainly isn’t healthier, generally isn’t…

If I could tell my younger self one thing, it would be; “Put something away EVERY payday. 10% is best, but even $5 is better than nothing.” Even at the worst of times, I could have managed $5 each time.

I’m all for e-cigs (and have argued for them in the past), but there really need to be better safety regulations around them, IMHO. Especially the batteries. There are just too many cheap, badly-regulated units on the market causing problems.

You know, I said this on another Evil Week article the other day, but this also crosses a line. There is no good reason for you to be teaching people to do this. At all.

Just throwing this out there but I went to Disney World several years ago with an older person that needed a wheelchair. She wasn’t physically incapable of walking but the amount necessary to see the whole park was just too much for her. When she did feel like walking around a bit my mother got in the wheelchair to…

We don’t beat kids.

There’s nothing saying the cop couldn’t physically remove her. If she became physically defiant and made herself dead weight, all he has to is place them under arrest, cuff them, and you have leverage on them to pull them up and walk them out, or just pick them up like a sack of potatoes or hook them under the arms…

If you had used that $1000 you earned to repay $1000 of debt, net receipts are $1000 ($2000 in, $1000 out), so tax is paid on $1000. If you earned $1000, repaid $500 then had $500 forgiven your net receipts are $1500 ($2000 in, $500 out), so tax paid on $1500. No double-dipping there.

It would also be hard to write…
