My high school junior is taking a personal finance class this semester. He is terrified of credit cards and knows how many exemptions to put on my W4. Best class ever. They should immediately disband AP Calculus and make all of them learn how to stay out of trouble in the real world. The very few going that high with…

Jesus thats dangerous and so wrong. I can not imagine an actual credit training saying that. That just starts the cycle over and makes it worse. The easiest thing to do is just get one credit card, put your normal expenses during the month (groceries, utilities, gas, etc) on it and pay it off every month. Build your…

The increased noise level is by far the biggest issue, but I’m facing the consequences of something I didn’t even consider before ours was rearranged:

As someone whose office just got renovated recently to a more “open concept”, it’s really not as good as a lot of people want to think.  I do like that we actually refreshed the interior to a cohesive theme instead of the years and years of additions and moved walls and mismatched carpet, but open concept means you…

Let me summarise your argument:

I’d like to see some data behind these arguments, both on the environmental side as well as the “undesirable market effects.” I’m not saying I don’t think they’re true, but without data it’s just supposition. And if there’s one thing listening to Freakonomics podcast has taught me, it’s that often things don’t end up…

I mean, we’re a dumb species for sure. But ironically everything you wrote is better than “Aw shucks it was just locker-room talk. Imma go ahead and check the box with the R next to it like Jesus told me to.”

Maybe a play on the 2000 GT

Just a side note: The auto playing video ads are really annoying. As someone who works in advertising and has had experience with rich media ads I can tell you they don’t work and its a great way to turn off users.

I think legally in Britain, if you speed up a video, you have to add Yakkey Sax to it.

It’s called agile and it totally works for every industry </s>

And remember, one hand is controlling the throttle throughout this.

Obligatory

... which will maybe make your company re-evaluate sending you on all those flights, which is the point. I don’t know about your job, but at mine a lot of the flying people do is for purposes that could pretty easily be done over videoconferencing.

Great, how about we focus on other methods of transportation that serve solely for recreation instead of the ones that actually serve as transportation. Let’s start here:

As I said in the last article about this car when we were still speculating on price and figured it was going to be German car money. RS3 all day! Even loaded with some options that I wouldn’t choose (Technology Package, Driver Assist) the Audi is still less money. Nicer interior, more power, has all the latest safety…

Next to none; there were like 300 million cars on the road at the time; C4C took out about 690K of them. Saying it had a big impact is like saying removing 2 cars out of a market of 1000 can completely upend the market. This is one of the most annoying myths of the recession that has Keith Richards’d on.

C4C has zero impact what-so-ever on the used car market. Anyone who thinks it did is just drinking koolaid and has never actually looked at the situation.

It’s what Henry Ford would have wanted.

Totally cool if they interfere with our elections, just don’t build our cars!
