Not to people who have no idea what they're talking about, it's not.

Ah, so you've never been there.

Huh? Aside from the Sherriff liking his high public profile and coming up with some ridiculous stuff, what do you know about Maricopa County and their law enforcement?

I took issue with that statement as well. The Gawker Network would be the first to jump on the hate train for a HS student doing a number of foolish things that this author is saying HS students “should” do.

The charges seem a bit extreme, but this was a very costly mistake. 3,400 yearbook reprints and thousands of…

Yes, clearly they are completely out of touch with the needs of users, as evidenced by the lack of support and use of Android.

It's my right to bear arms (just bringing it up because the Gawker network and probably the larger part of its supporters would support any government attempt to usurp that right).

Exactly what I would advise. $750k homes aren’t wise for anyone making less than $200k/yr. And even then, I'd still say it's not all that smart.

If $150k is just a 20% down payment, you’re buying too much house, in my opinion (based on what I gather about your level of savings and your assumed earning level). A $750k house is a money sink in all sorts of ways. I would shoot for something under $500k. My personal rule is that I never want my mortgage (PITI) to…

If you cannot stop in time to avoid a stationary obstruction (let's say the cop runs over a pile of cinder blocks because he's not paying attention to the road or some debris just falls off the cop car), you are not following at a safe distance. "Safe distance" is not defined as the minimum distance possible to avoid…

What SPNKiX might be saying is that the driver did not leave enough room to avoid any obstruction that was not traveling in the same direction at a similar speed with a similar stopping distance.

You're unlikely to face other obstructions in the roadway, but it happens from time to time that the person in front of you…

Just because you can narrowly avoid slamming into someone who brake checks you pretty hard does not mean you are following at a safe distance. He had enough room to avoid something that was previously traveling at the same speed as him that required an equal distance to stop. He did not have time to avoid anything…

Not that what this cop did is cool or justified in any way, but when the cop brake checked, there was only about one car length between the cop and the other driver. Regardless of whether or not he stopped in time, that’s just not a good distance for following in any situation that is faster than a crawl. Had the cop…

I currently have a Weber Performer Deluxe (the old version with the steel table) that I picked up for $80 on CL. I don’t really do any slow cooking, but with a few add-ons, the Performer is known to be more than capable. I am able to get my Performer pretty hot (~500*F is easy, gets tougher to get much above ~650*F),…

I think the hotspot issue might be a bug in the latest Android update. I deleted the title and re-added it, and everything is back to normal.

People are always much more agreeable face to face. Give a wo/man a soap box, though, and all hell will break loose.

I don't know what you consider a "bowl of cherries," but if "making a lot of money for relatively little work" counts as a bowl of cherries, then being a landlord certainly fits the bill.

Nice tips. I tweaked the System UI Tuner right after getting my Nexus 6P to show the battery percentage. Now I have removed pretty much everything from my notification bar, and I'm liking the clean look.

To put an example into numbers for a primary home, let’s say we have two people, Person A and Person B who are looking at two identical homes right next to each other. Person A wants to buy, Person B wants to rent. They each have the same amount in their bank accounts (enough for a 10% down payment), and they each…

It is briefly mentioned in the article, but I think it should be worth noting that this rent/buy debate only considers the “buy” option as a primary home. If you buy rental homes or flips, the returns can be far greater than virtually any other form of investment. I do rentals, and in my area, expected ROI is about…

I bought a chromebook already and love it. I didn’t buy it for complicated stuff. I bought it to be a web browser, word processor, and presenter. It works wonderfully for those purposes, and it only cost me $180.

Getting Android apps wouldn't affect my decision to buy one or not, but more functionality is always…
