It would make more sense to say he’d restructure our tax code so that Apple couldn’t hoard $35 billion overseas.

Will these new labels increase or decrease the amount of people at my gym? That’s all I want to know.

It’s funny that the majority still don’t believe this. I brought that up in a conversation the other day, along with the idea that fat is good, not bad (depending on where it’s from), and everyone just kind of laughs it off.

The science behind that was: Cholesterol is in eggs, cholesterol is what clogs arteries. Therefore, cholesterol = bad. Ironically, the past year I’ve been eating about 4x as much cholesterol and barely any carbohydrates and my cholesterol is now 60% lower than it was.

Daily recommended intake of sugar is 0. That’s why there’s no percentage.

That’s way, way too much sugar. 10% of your calories? An average adult should have around 2000 calories a day. That’s 50 grams of sugar. (4 calories per gram, 50 grams of sugar = 200 calories, which is 10% of 2000.)

Everything about this is stupid. I’m a vegetarian. I was a vegan for 7 years.

The cholesterol limit was not “mysteriously dropped.” 30 years of scientific research have proven that dietary cholesterol has little to no impact on your bodies total cholesterol. Eating eggs does not lead to an increase in heart disease or…

the sugar cap is set at 10% of a person’s total daily calories

I’ll believe the government cares about my food consumption when they put a % Daily Value number for sugar and protein on the standard nutritional label.

Less than a penny on the dollar, if you don’t buy your gap cover from the dealer, for the piece of mind that comes of knowing you won’t be upside down if some drunk totals your car.

I got suspicious and had a long chat with progressive. Turns out it works like this:

Tell me that when your car gets totalled, and you’re still holding the bill for a car that isn't driveable.

Exactly haha i’m a insurance agent so i was going to be say that paying fro your car or the others person car isn't the expensive part, the lawsuits are.

GAP insurance at the dealer’s rip-off price may be $500, but what they dont tell you when you sit down in that finance manager’s office is that you can add the same coverage to your regular auto policy for a small fraction of what they charge.

Based on previous articles here, it’s clear that most people don’t know that you can purchase gap from any number of places (and especially your own vehicle insurer) not just the stupidly-inflated number that the Finance guy gives you when you buy a car.

Except your TV doesn’t get left outside in the public at the risk of being damaged to the tune of $10,000 or more.

I have gotten the protection plan for 4 years on all of my past 3 TVs. I originally paid $280 for the first TV (open box 46” LCD). It got replaced under warranty and they gave me a 55” LCD that was the closest comparable model. Just last week, they replaced the 55” LCD with a new 55” Samsung SUHD 4K model at no…

Yeah no shit. A car depreciates up to 20% off the lot. Wreck your $50K car 2 months out and your loan is now $10K more than the car’s value. GAP insurance is like $500.

Could it be that you don’t actually have a GAP? You certainly don’t have a $26k GAP unless you bought a Mercedes S-class on a long-term loan or something. Unless there is a specific subsidy, the actuaries have figured out the risk and potential magnitude of loss and have stacked the deck in their favor.

For the right price, GAP is worth it. And odds are, if he’s an employee, he’ll be getting it at cost, zero markup.
