Personally I'd rather have the bullet waste as much speed traveling through the air as possible before it hit me in the face. Looked like that dude's head flew back pretty fast, maybe a closer shot would have snapped his neck?

That is true. It also has no minimums, and the expense ratio gets much closer once you have enough money to care.

I'm glad I can be of help!

TL;DR version: I think drug testing and insurance are inadequate and largely deceptive selling points

Not having the box checked is literally the entire cost of not going to college, and man what a cost it is... I have gotten to about 20 or so second/third round interviews where the person who represents HR in the interview process (not the hiring manager/director/vp, workgroup member or departmental peer) spends the…

I think that is incorrect because, as I understand it, the mechanism by which stocks(and bonds and commodities) are priced has nothing at all to do with earnings and everything to do with the balance of buyers and sellers, referred to as "net volume". Net volume is positive when the amount of the thing people want to…

I hope you see the same future where that only works if you data is the baseline, and having anything potentially askew from it is grounds for paying way, way more.

I use Betterment, which has no minimum investment and invests in a shit ton of really great vanguard and other ETFs.

Doesn't need to be hip bones, tbh. The bones are just a source of sufficient carbon to turn the rusty rocks from iron ore into a passable steel. You can make about ten ax heads from each bear. It's all about eliminating waste through badassity.

I did not know this, but it explains the ridiculously high apparent survival rate of nobles in battle.

Any self-respecting mountain man forges his own new Ax heads from rusty rocks and the bones of bears he has killed in hand-to-paw combat.

$195 is a lot of money to a lot of people. Somebody making $8 an hour has to work ~24 hours to get that money, more than half the hours in a full time week and that's without accounting for their tax burden. If all those people making $8/hr got that $10.10 living wage President Obama keeps mentioning, it would still…

I can verify from experience that the strategy you describe works. The toughest part is being polite, because all of my opinions can't be expressed in polite company. But if you can find some common ground or at least someone who likes to argue, the sexy times practically happen without my even realizing it.

Spending is good; saving is bad. But this is a really basic view that can make personal finance intimidating. It makes us feel guilty for spending, even when it's practical. It can make us overly obsessed with saving.

That's basically how all sciencey folks I've met work. It doesn't really matter what academic field you're focused on, the incumbent olds demand you pay homage to them before they let you into the system. Layman conceptions of morality and scientific meritocracy have no place in actual scientific "meritocracy".

I have no idea what you mean by "superior driving dynamics", I'd greatly appreciate an explanation.

I hate to break it to you, but fossil fuels will most likely be used to separate the hydrogen and electrons you want to power your electric car for a long time to come.

Agree. Any type of professional service that has an open ended component should involve face to face time. There's never one "Right" way to do things every time, so you need to get a feel for your client's preferences and motivations. Often, you can only read those between the lines, which is what facial expressions…

The trouble is that there are two options to pick from and they both want more government spying on Americans. I vote third party as often as possible, but the incumbent power structure has got us all convinced that none of those guys are credible.
