well yeah I can imagine someone saying “my kid had this issue after getting a vaccine” and the doctor rolling their eyes and being condescending.  Rather than approach it as, yes the vaccine is safe, but something happened and let’s explore that, they just go with “you’re hysterical, vaccines are safe” and they just…

lol that’s ludicrous. That’s totally not part of tipping ettiquette, and even if it was, how’s that getting distributed? Cleaning folks should get basically the ENTIRE 20% I don’t think so.

Typically it’s $1-2 per night all given at the end of the stay.  I don’t understand this lunacy above.

I’ve stood outside while my room is cleaned.  Some may take 30 min.  I’ve never seen it take more than 15 and that’s in luxury hotels.  Agreed with the post above.  30 min is ludicrous.  Even in vegas I saw cleaning staff blow through rooms faster and I’m SURE there are crazy vomit scenes in some of those.

I went to a state school.  Got a great education and I’m way more successful than my friends who went to harvard and yale.  I’m not sure the supposed network benefit you get from those schools is all that it is cracked up to be anymore.

I like Monae

I get frustrated by those movies because on the one hand they’re trying to show that hey moms are people and life is hard and just because you go have fun and do something selfish (and I use that word NOT in a pejorative way but in a good way) doesn’t mean you’re a bad mom. In fact it probably means you’re a good mom.

yeah but above 30MPH it’ll create more drag than help the car, so it’s useless.  I mean frankly it’s an absurd statement anyway that turbineguy wasn’t offering up seriously.  It’s a joke.

Installation is highly variable, but don’t get caught up with the tesla tax. Get quotes on a NEMA 14-50 port and don’t tell them you have an electric car or what kind (even lie if you have to). The cost was $250 to install and I used my included charger from my tesla. I eventually bought a backup one so I could have…

better have heated seats or it’s a bust :-P

well the charger is included with the car.

yes UP to $3000, but generally well under $1000.

that would create too much drag.  Adding solar is realistic to someone spending the money on a tesla. 

I have climbed up to what I think is a very high position in a very large corporation.  I still don’t know what I’m doing, I definitely didn’t chase my dreams, I’m not even sure what my dreams are.  I just have to work hard to find meaning where I can.  The toughest part is you work so hard at your job that when you…

I’m so tired of hearing discussions about her looks.  She is young, has a lot of energy, and is bringing obscure political topics to the forefront.  I studied things like marginal tax rate and gerrymandering and never understood why they weren’t more discussed.  I’m also really annoyed that a topic like investment for…

My next weird one night stand was after...same friend as above said she wanted to set me up with someone she thought was perfect for me. I had a set of movie premier tickets so I invited the blind date along. She was a very unusual woman. Very beautiful and had spent a lot of time doing her hair and makeup but she…

I had just been dumped by my fiancée who I’d been living with for 6 years. She had left the house saying some unkind and particulary gutting things that killed my self esteem. I had an outpouring of support from friends though. About a week after she had left, an old friend came over to hang out. She and I had known…

what about “But it’s tasty”? 

I dunno my experience was that I would meet women through online dating who lived way out (Renton, Everett, Sammamish) and they seemed always up for coming to me because I lived in the city. I was always willing to go out there but outside of meeting family, they always came to my place and then I’d drive us to the…

whats your MPG at 80MPH?!?!?!?!  that’s amazing.  I’ve kind of dreamed about moving to Orange County and working in LA.
