Considering that this is a personal finance blog and most people can’t comprehend the financial (or any other kind really) impacts of things until it becomes noticeable in their wallet/checking account, you can’t hold it against them by putting things in a relatable perspective.

Maybe you should be concerned because you call it out for what it is - waste - but then don’t give it the time of day. Think for a second: the pressing issue of a single-use, disposable material created for sheer convenience is the bleaching of it?? I’m not completely negating the issue - toilet paper is hard to avoid…

I didn’t know the CRZ had a manual...? Honestly, I’m 100% with you - a decent hybrid manual would (have) be(en) awesome. I knew about the original Honda Insight which offered a manual. That was also a small 3-door hatchback and had - still does in fact - incredible fuel economy. I think I might rather drive that than…

I do almost all of my grocery shopping at Aldi and unfortunately most of their produce is prepackaged :( last week though I did purposefully pick a variety of apples there that WEREN'T prepackaged and I just tossed em in my bag! I'm with you there that most produce doesn't even need a separate bag to begin with,…

There’s more than one way to approach this: improving road design to build protected bike lanes... y’know that don’t run alongside parked cars...

Being a one-seater is a huge buzzkill for it’s value proposition. I’m all for these tiny vehicles taking over people’s commutes and I know that 90% of commutes are solo, but have you looked at the cars people buy?? They’re not buying SUVs and such for theisolo commute - they’re buying it for the potential that they’ll…

Oh complete bs indeed - you’re absolutely spot-on. If you need sound to travel forward to warn of danger/anything, you use the front-facing horn. How stupid is it to expect that the engine sound from virtually engine noise-less cars from the past 10+ years are somehow keeping anybody safer?? There's a horn if you need…

Ahahahaha.... unabashed stealing but it is at least completely understandable (though still not excusable). 

Seriously. The oldest AirPods are, what, two years old? Mine are close to that and while I’ve never done a full run-down test (even coincidentally) but I know mine are lasting well over an hour at the least - still more than enough to keep my listening habits comfortable without worrying about charging them.

Listen... I won’t make this personal, but this is the dumbest advice I’ve ever seen on Lifehacker. You do realize used AirPods are selling for over $100 -over 60% of their original value - and are still highly desirable??

Double thank you. Absurd to see this wording, at the end of the article nonetheless.

No coat rack/closet by the door? Nothing wrong with sweatpants for errands I think but why not just swap the robe for a jacket?

Mine was similar, but actually half that price and double the miles XD ($1700 and 170k). Pretty funny!

The first car I bought was an 87 MR2!... except I bought it in like 2012 :)

I wouldn't even pin it down to Styrofoam products exclusively - humanity (or maybe first-world?) has some weird obsession with disposability and single-use products. Outside of the medical industry, there's so few excuses for disposable products and convenience is not one of them. It's like somehow being able to throw…

I daresay very select few areas :/

Good read. Lots of familiar information as we bought our first house almost two years ago and swapped out the busted oil boiler (and poorly installed central A/C) for a 5-unit Mitsubishi H2i ductless heatpump system, installed solar panels to offset out electricity footprint, and of course spent a bit of time with…

Yeah wtf... I have a 120GB SSD in my personal laptop which has been comfortable for over seven years, even with music and photo libraries. Sure it requires the occasional cleanup, but it’s not a particular challenge unless you’re trying to save multiple games and movies at any time.

24 mph? That ends up being 1,736 DAYS sitting in a car, 95% of the time. That doesn’t make sense.

I’m all for technicalities but this is just silly. They never claimed it made computations faster - they said it makes your PC faster. And when your OS boots quicker, your applications open faster, and literally every hard drive read/write operation is exponentially faster, that literally makes your PC faster.
