I’ve made more money in my 401(k) and my kid’s college savings fund over the past couple years than I made in salary.

You just blew my mind.  I looked up GS350s in my area and was amazed at the drop.  It never even occurred to me to research cars with the highest depreciation when shopping for used cars.  

I’m pro “not picking a side”

You know you’re going to make the highlights if the umpire is standing over you laughing at you.

If you’re having trouble remembering someone’s name, Ranganath suggests trying a mnemonic device to help you remember

Or he could use his brilliant strategy of claiming, “ I meant ‘I DIDN’T NOT know of the meeting.’ kind of a double negative thing”.  

Or slipping right into your pants pocket as you try to walk by.

Contrast that with the article about conservatives “infiltrating” a political speech and learning

I think the NRA might have accidentally drunk their own Kool-Aid. They only exist as a front for gun manufacturers (as usual their “freedom” talk is just to get yokels to support their corporate agenda). But now they are advocating for the idea that people should stop buying guns and just 3d print their own? It seems…

According to my HR department the first rule is “keep it in your pants”.  Beyond that I guess you’re free to do whatever.

Also, a blacked out hellcat seems like just the right car for an inconspicuous undercover operation.

I don’t believe Apu’s accent is any more stereotypical than the yokel’s accent, the bumblebee man’s accent, Mayor Quimby’s Kennedy accent, Rabbi Krustofski’s Jewish accent, every Russian and French accent on the show, or as others note, Groundkeeper Willie’s.  

But my point is that it wasn’t racist UNTIL racists started using it. If someone said, “Go back to your own country Gandhi”. That wouldn’t make Gandhi a racial stereotype. It would just mean that particular racist could only think of Gandhi as a way to show that they viewed someone as an anonymous member of a group…

I haven’t watched the documentary so maybe this is addressed. But isn’t “Thank you, come again” only used as a racist joke because Apu used it as a catch-phrase? That is, it wasn’t an existing stereotype that was reinforced, but rather an innocuous phrase that was adopted by racists as an easy way to mock people.…

hey, leave my sister out of this.

To try and diffuse some of the anger here.....my interpretation of the question is that the recipient appreciates the tip, they just don’t know how to frame an acknowledgment that wouldn’t me misinterpreted as sarcastic given the small tip.

The press really needs to hammer him with this. “On June blah blah Trump said..........” “How many have been returned?”

I think you’re correct that Europe benefits from our military spending (with all the caveats you listed) but republicans simply love to give as much money as possible to Lockheed, Raytheon, General Dynamics etc. They’ve found the perfect way to blend patriotism with enriching themselves and their colleagues. Any side…

I’m not one to be annoyed or agin breast feeding, as long as it isn’t done as some sort of statement.

I think your math is faulty. You’ve already normalized the numbers by using passenger-miles so you can’t go back and add them. For example, two suburbans moving sixteen people would still be ~0.69 and not 1.38. The two Priuses combined would get 0.5 gallons per 100 passenger miles (100/4*50).
