If you’re filing a personal injury lawsuit, waiting until near the end of the statute of limitations will often help maximize your recovery.  It’s a lot easier to recover for prior damages (such as medical bills, pain & suffering, etc.) rather than estimating future damages.  So waiting two years means she has two…

“ It doesn’t matter that the guy is a CEO of a mortgage company if what he’s saying is accurate.”

I think it’s crazy to buy a house with only 20% own capital. Didn’t we have enough problems with people living above their means? How many international crises does it need?

1) Astrophysicist? He needs to stop messing around and take them math skills to the business arena. Quants is where the math money is at. Mess around and get into data science and work some of these new algorithms.

You also have to remember that—at least in the US—your mortgage interest is tax deductible. This means that the effective interest rate you’re paying on your mortgage is less than the actual interest rate on the loan.  Ergo, your rate of return on said mortgage is lower than the 4% in your example.

Yours is the correct take. I make my coffee at home 99% of the time, but if all you are doing is pouring me a cup of coffee I am not tipping you $1. 

Nah mate, you knew what he meant. You just wanted to be a trolling asshole. That is very clear.

I agree with you somewhat; and I have you a like. But you can’t tell me I need to give a 50 percent tip for a cup of black coffee I have to pour my own cream and sugar into. Starbucks employees also have benefits and even stock options. I realize it can be a hard job but lots of people make minimum wage and don’t get…

Oh yes, as my boss put it when a client came to us saying that he had this great idea to start a real estate development company, of course all of the funding came from his mom, along with a generous salary: “he opened his mouth and just as the silver spoon hit the floor the idea hit him.” It just bugs me that they…

She is the daughter of a co-founder of 5 Hour Energy. Becoming a millionaire was almost certainly going to happen for her at some point, but it’s nice that the dad had the resources and contacts to make it happen sooner.

Sure I’ll move to Fritters Alabama - I hear the job market is booming down there.

I’d be skeptical about a 28 year old man also. I’m totally skeptical of her but I hope she does well. 

This is great advice for the 1980s and people living in the middle of nowhere. The last couple places I’ve lived, buying a house for 1 year’s salary puts you in the top 0.25-0.5% of incomes.

Episode deserves no higher than a C. This entire season had like 5 episodes of material, stretched into 11 episodes for no apparent reason.

Nah, you’re just not using it right. White meat chicken is the perfect vehicle for chicken dripping/stock gravy. Basically, you’re just returning all the juice you lost to cooking, but adding whatever extra flavor from the herbs and malard reacted brown bits stuck to the pan.

THANK YOU! I read the Guardian piece the same way. When I saw the Jez piece all I could think was ‘you clickbaiting sons of bitches....”

I’m sorry and I hope you are okay but duck fat mayo is extremely good.

For me, it’s not that I can’t keep them straight, but that it feels like needless work to do so. Intentionally split timelines seem to be Westworld’s main narrative trick. I wish they’d find another one. It was a bit better in the first season. The first was split by forty something years. The second season was…

The Aketcha episode was far and away the best of the year because of how much it felt like a Lost episode.  Everything else Westworld has done has been so needlessly complicated that I couldn’t have cared less when nearly all these characters ‘died’.

One day there will be articles written about how Lost made timeline jumps seem like an effortless, essential part of fantasy/sci-fi narratives. It needs to be stated that Lost’s time jumps were more important (because they actually gave us information about the characters AND served the plot) and just flat-out more…
