Or maybe not. I was a teen boy once. I wasn’t an idiot like the kids in this video. Some parents do their jobs correctly, and their kids don’t fall for stupid peer pressure. Underscored6 sounds like they’ve got the right idea.

Good point. I’ll probably end up trading the Gibson for another guitar at some point, or selling if the price is right. A friend of mine is working on a PRS SE for me that I’m pretty excited about, and I have a feeling that once I own it I’ll never want to go back to the Gibson. I would rather someone get use out of…

I agree. There are a few episodes I wouldn’t mind re-watching, but I’ll never re-watch the whole series again. I only just got around to seeing it last year, and you’re right - it does not age well.

There’s one thing sorely missing from this article - ergonomics. Make sure the guitar feels good to hold, and take your time to feel different cuts of guitar necks and see what feels comfortable for your fretting hand.

The biggest mistake I ever made was buying a Gibson Les Paul studio that has a neck like a baseball…

End of Ze World.

I would pay $500 for the set if they just released the original trilogy in its original version at 4K.

Yup. It’s the same problem as grade inflation. I work in higher education and I think I came off of the tail-end of the generation of students who understood that a ‘C’ means you did just fine. Now, if most students don’t get an ‘A’ they think the did terribly. A ‘C’ is not a bad grade. It means you completed the…

I was trying to figure out where I’ve heard Opus No. 1, and then I realize it’s on many telephone hold music lines. I had never heard it in a decent audio quality, and that’s what threw me off.

I just ran out of my supplement of omega-3s yesterday and thought to myself, “Do I really need this?” Then this article popped up this morning. I think I’ll just stick to my multi-vitamin.

Ah, I gotcha now. Yeah, people definitely should avoid holding a balance in the first place though.

Google Docs still seems to be pretty quick on all my devices. What kind of slowness are people encountering? Loading a document? Fluid text entry?

For some people, awareness is the first step to making a change. I agree with you, but getting folks to check their interest rates might wake up a few to realizing that they should be trying to not carry a balance.

There was no incredible plan. Like the article states, everyone had their own stupid idea and they all failed spectacularly. Luke thought he could walk in and Jedi mind-trick Jabba, and when it didn’t work, he was screwed.

George Lucas is a wonderful storyteller (at times), but he’s not the type of filmmaker (nor is…

Thanks! It took a bit of work to get it setup, but it was so worth it. I tried apps like Mint before but I always felt like my own budget was easier to understand and I know what I’m spending on better than any app can predict. It’s helped to drastically reduce my spending on superfluous items over the last year or so.

You’re welcome.

I actually took this idea a couple of steps further.

My fault for missing that bit. I should have read more closely. Now only my shame romaines. I mean, remains.

I would say the difference in the food scenario is that you’re not missing out on much if you don’t acquire a taste for most foods. In the case of working out, you get a ton of health benefits on top of just feeling better. You have to think of it in terms of your values. If you value your personal well-being, it can…

It’s something that just started gradually the more she could understand English from a very young age. I don’t think anything is really off-limits to talk to your kids about if you approach it the right way for their age level.

As a dad, I think the part about telling them “it’s okay not to be okay” is so important. I make a point to have many conversations with my 9 year-old daughter about the expectations certain people will have of her, and how she doesn’t need to give those expectations the time of day. I encourage to her to work hard,…
