BMI is less than worthless for me. I’m a hair over 6' and weigh around 225, but I carry a lot of muscle. My BMI reflects an obese score of 30+ and at worse carrying a bit of padding around the love handle area. I’ve actually weighed 10lbs more with a 3" smaller waist line so yeah it needs to be dropped sooner than…

Also the tarp recommended on amazon has metal grommets. You don’t want those banging against your paint so maybe put a piece of duct tape over them to keep from scratching your paint.

Man I should be a politician. I can ratchet down the number of violent deaths in the first question with nothing but my small gun loving brain and keyboard. Since a hair over 60% of those gun related deaths are suicides we can change the number of deaths due to gun VIOLENCE by 76,800. BAM!!! I just made everyone a lot…

The 2in figure would not be heavy enough to offset the pressure switch on the booby trap. I guess you could make it from osmium and scale down the size a bit as it is a little bit more dense than Gold.

Yeah this is all a lot of work if you want to mask who you are just go pay cash for a prepaid phone. It may not be as cost effective but I’m pretty sure if you do all of the above on a phone you purchased at one time with your CC and had it set up in your name with a carrier there’s going to be a record of that…

Good points on IRA vs. 401(k) and this may apply to a lot of people that frequent LH. However it can be very daunting to pick stocks to 95%+ of the population and it can be difficult to adequately diversify a long term portfolio (until you have a larger sum of money) with individual stocks and bonds. You can certainly…

Another thing I mention to a lot of younger investors (I’m a financial advisor). After getting your max match in the 401(k) max out your HSA and/or Dependent Care FSA (if you have children in daycare) if your company offers them. If you need the money for healthcare cost now you’ll be paying bills with pre-tax dollars…

Two things 1) Most 401(k) plans allow Roth contributions (at a higher limit than IRA) 2) Maxing out IRAs before 401(k) can be more restrictive/costly especially for investors just getting started. Plus the 401(k) is a lot easier so for many people it should be above the IRA (or at least next to).

While I share some of your sentiment your methods are not helping our cause. If we’re going to advocate responsible LEGAL carry as I believe you are.. let’s get our facts straight else the error becomes the focus. I have broadly seen armed law enforcement in StarBucks and I’ve never seen them pay (though they offer…

Microsoft also has the ability to do the concatenate function without typing the word and ()s. If I want to concat A1 (value: You) and A2 (Value: Rock) I type the following into the cell: =A1&A2 results in YouRock. If i want a space between the words I enter: =A1&” “&A2 results in You Rock.

I listened to Dr. Moyad speak at a conference earlier this year and he was great. He takes no money from Drug/Supplement companies so I found no agenda in his speaking. I whip open my Kindle version of his book (below) every time I consider a drug or supplement.

Hey now I tend to look like the businessman type wearing a suit or sport coat when I fly. It feels like I offer to put bags in overhead every time I’m on a plane. And when retrieving the bags I just say: why don’t you let me get that for you... It’s just a bad system those bins are too high and the bags are too big.…

I am not sure if it’s still enforced but 8 years ago I was stopped by security after getting off my flight in Saint Lucia (honeymoon) for wearing camouflage shorts. I was told it isn’t legal for civilians to wear camouflage on the island and they wouldn’t let me past until i went to the bathroom and changed. They…

Seeing this after reading this article earlier in the week makes me question the these types of articles. Not saying one is right or wrong but like many “studies” it’s a good idea to look at who sponsored the studies.

This is a great idea and I’m definitely going to try it out with my wife and daughter. I did a quick search and Puff Pastry seems a bit pricy per waffle. Walmart lists a major brand at $4.88 for a box of two and I couldn’t find an off brand. Since it apparently takes nearly two full sheets for one waffle this could…

I’ve never used it at a hotel, but I do it every time I go out to a bar (I’ve worked as a bartender in a high volume bar 15yrs ago) where I plan on staying for a while. It’s nearly impossible to get a drink at a high volume bar on a weekend. After I order my first drink they ask do you want to start a tab? I hand them…

Great list. and I wanted to share a story on Eddie Bauer from years ago. I had a flannel shirt that I really liked but I ruined it by leaving it in the back of my car to set in the sun over the summer and the color turned from browns and forest green to an almost pink color. I was in the store basically whining about…

Does the lemon juice and/or salt have any ill effects on auto body paint? I have a couple of small rust spots that i’d like to remove before painting over with touch up paint. I don’t want to fade or damage the surrounding paint though.

I don’t know how much too much is but several years ago I was eating a large Detour bar (taste pretty good) every day and got stomach cramps which felt like gas pains.
