@ezrashapiro: Slave morality, hurrah!

@Platypus Man: Prior art: tapeworm

@Jason Faulkner: Shelf-life is the major factor on whether something is even available to buy. Paying someone to warehouse your food is efficient, but when they are out to make excessive profit, you will have to do some of it yourself to optimize expenditure.

@Kasse: Block of lard with some healthy carrots and squash mixed in

@steve.koehler: Seems likely unless there was also a choice between $30 now or $30 in a month.

I would certainly drop an expensive cupcake boutique over bad service, but I would really need friendly shopgirls in low-cut tops just to get me in the door.

@Dijkie1337:

@Jeff Bernard: It could all be added to your FBI file through "national security letters". Then someday the CIA will make you an offer you can't refuse, and you'll find yourself with a rifle waiting for the President to make a jump-shot.

@Loon: Use firefox then.

"Even once I was able to squirrel away more than 30 digits a minute in memory palaces, I seldom memorized the phone numbers of people I actually wanted to call. It was easier to punch them into my cellphone."

@Rachel Leibowitz: Gawker Classic Layout Fix

@glaeven: Online piracy to the rescue?

@LTA: "Sex" and "mating" are too likely to be confused. They should at least call the first one a "female bolt" (hermaphrobolt?) and the other a "male bolt".

@iWaitIn4FourTime: Yikes. Enlisting might pay off some of that...

@miguelcervantes: Same solution as always: Dump her or resign yourself.

@JWeavis: Everybody can sign up for banking products. (USAA doesn't really advertise it because they don't really need civilians, but I don't think they have a choice since USAA like every bank is heavily taxpayer funded)

@Cheapy-Jmel: GMAC never went under (though part of the reason for the new name was to distance it from bad press during the "mortgage crisis")

I'd wait banks to settle into the Dodd–Frank Act before choosing. There are going to be a lot of benefits lost and new fees added at every bank this year.

@sandiegoguy: Save all her manuscripts. They are worth a lot of money.

@GreasyPig: True, but it's not like your savings account is going to outpace inflation either.
