I've had the misfortune to be stuck on WP right now. I can not wait to leave. How anyone defends this OS is beyond me. I personally find metro ugly as heck, but more jarring was the half-baked aspect of the software available for the platform. Even major apps like, facebook, have huge bugs, like not being able to edit…

We get 5% of pre tax income even if you don't contribute anything. Afterwards, they will match 100% of your contribution up to 5%. If you max out that means that for contributing 5% you get an additional 10% for a total of 15%. When I first was hired, I wasn't making much money at all, but have worked my way up. Still…

This is a great point, and one that I've been trying to follow more often. Especially if its two people, I can feed us two for less than 10 dollars, but going out would easily cost me more than that here in LA.

Thanks for sharing this. I've been trying to cut down on my food expenses. One of my great joys in life is sharing a meal with friends, but we're always always out at restaurants. Lately I've been trying to cook more at home and it certainly cuts down on cost noticeably. What I am trying to work on is cooking for just…

Green Goddess is actually the name of the dressing. It is needless, but its the same as saying tossed with Caesar dressing.

Yeah, I get so many compliments on my Zenni glasses. I hang out with enough money hipsters in LA, that everyone thinks I spent hundreds on them. They look great, and after 2 years, they are just now starting to loosen. I'll have to go get them adjusted, but otherwise are going strong.

Really dig the headphone wrap.

Same here with regards to oddly accurate. I got pharmacy tech, and I currently work in pharmacutical research.

Those faucets are there to more or less force you to conserve water, and prevent water wasting. Especially important in a plane where there limited clean water to go around. Just imagine if some jerk forgot to close the tap at the begging of a 13 hour flight.

Yeah, this is my experience as well. I have roadside assistance with my insurance company, esurance, but when I called it took well over an hour for a truck to come. I was in the middle of Los Angeles. No excuse for such a long wait in a major city.

Yes you can but it takes a lot of work, and the savings is not worth it over just getting a mac mini. Hackintoshes really only make sense at the "pro" level.

This too was my issue. I don't so mind the ads, but that I see the same ad 10 times in one showing. Its maddening.

Man I really loved IMO. Seems like all the good web based multi-chat clients are dying. :( I guess I'll have to install an actual app on my work computer.

Haha, everything about buying a car is absurd. However I think there is a happy medium; Plus, this doesn't take into account longevity. I would much rather spend say $16k on a car I'll have for 10 years, than $5k on one that wont last me three. I make a little more than the medium income and purchased a car for $18k.…

Yes. This is why I'm thinking of canceling amazon prime. Its just too easy to order things I don't need, and then adds up to lots of stuff and lots of money gone.

Thanks for the reminder, I always forget about freecycle.

Its intresting, I moved from a tiny 275sq ft apartment to a relatively huge 700 sq ft apartment recently. I didn't move almost half my stuff. Even in my small place I had almost enough furniture to furnish two apartments. Now my issue is all this extra stuff, and getting rid of it. It takes so much energy to list each…
