Our last rental house, before we bought two years ago, was $2,400 a month. The house we bought, in the same neighborhood and slightly smaller but much newer, is $2,500 a month including taxes and PMI and insurance, and we get to deduct all those taxes and interest every year so it winds up being much less than that.…

Elvis Costello was the musical guest on SNL in 1977 and was supposed to play Less Than Zero. So he started playing it, then stopped a few bars in saying “I’m sorry, ladies and gentlemen, but there’s no reason to do this song here.” and instead launched into Radio Radio. SNL wasn’t happy and it got him banned from…
The Timbers (Portland’s MLS team) wanted to expand their stadium since they’ve sold out every game since they started. The only break they got from the city was an agreement not to charge the ticket tax on the new seats for 10 years or so. The city is giving up $2M in revenue over those 10 years, but that revenue…
Sure, and if I happen to forget that, now I can’t work. Or if a colleague has a USB-A flash drive and I don’t have an adapter, now I’m stuck. It’s too much of a pain to be stuck without a single legacy port today to go with a laptop that doesn’t have one. Some people can but many of us can’t. Hell, coming back from…
Some of us have hardware, hardware that costs $7,000 or possibly more, that has a hardwired USB-A cable. Sure, I can use a dongle with it, but those are sometimes finicky, and if I forget or lose a dongle, now I can’t work because Dell can’t keep a single legacy USB port there? This is why I gave up on Apple and went…
I worked a temp job at Boeing straight out of college, going around replacing computers at night. But of course, lots of those computers were in their Everett building where they were making 747s and they were incredible to see up close as they were built. I’d stand under them and realize just how amazingly large they…
I used to run while wearing boxers with my running shorts with a liner, but this was a good 14 years ago when I first started running. Then I stopped, and that was smart. First, you have two layers of clothing instead of one (I don’t know any good running shorts without a liner) which means more fabric to hold…
Had it been 4th down, he would have had to recover his own fumble to advance it on the play. Since it was only 3rd down, anyone was able to recover it and advance it.
I think you’re thinking of Yu-Gi-Oh and not MTG if you think there is power creep. The MTG development team has spent lots of the past few years getting the power level balanced to a position they want, by which they mean more combat-focused, interactive games. As a result of this, spells have come down in power,…
To put this in terms Ed Werder might understand: pretend you’re having a Fantasy Football draft, but doing it auction style. Everyone has $200 to spend, so you go spend $50 on Andrew Luck, and $45 on Adrian Peterson, and so one. After everyone has picked up 4 players, you give everyone an extra $200 to spend. So now…
It goes to the conferences, and gets distributed through a calculation based on how many teams in that conference made the tournament, and how many games they won. This is averaged out over a certain number of years. For a small conference like the CAA, when George Mason goes on a run to the Final Four, your share of…
