For sure. I do believe that in the majority of cases it makes more financial sense (assuming you can afford it) to buy vs rent if you plan on staying in the same area for the foreseeable future. 

Be careful of blindly jamming things under your dishwasher with any sort of force. Unlike your fridge or stove there are probably wiring connections and water lines you don’t want to screw up. 

I do own a Switch, and that’s what most of my gaming is done on now. The Switch also came out at the perfect time to get my kids into gaming. Beyond a handful of RTS games back in the day I’ve never really been a PC gamer. 

And I wouldn’t have been able to buy my house in ‘09 if it weren’t for the crash that screwed you :) Funny how things work out differently for different folks. I did honestly feel bad for the sellers, it was a short sale and I paid about half of what they had only about 5 years earlier. 

It would have been great if Nintendo had correctly fixed this themselves. I will likely end up buying this kit as I’ve replaced the sticks on our original joycons more times than I can remember at this point. I’ve seen Nintendo apologists claim this is an issue inherent to all analog sticks, and I disagree. My…

There has been one of these near me for a year or so and I’ve been curious as to how it is. I have avoided it partially because neither my wife or daughter like spice. After seeing that they have a no spice option I think we’ll  have to give it a go. 

To be pedantic, humans don’t produce one egg per month, they release one egg per month.

I used to use them as a single man, but I love that I haven’t had the need to use them on a regular basis since my wife and I decided we were serious 16 years ago. They are certainly necessary, but I find they greatly diminish my enjoyment of the act. That said, having children was a conscience decision, condoms would…

That’s a good point, although in some ways I’d guess you still came out ahead since your mortgage theoretically stayed the same over those 20 years while rents over the same time period would have increased. The timing that you bought definitely sucks though, since as we all know prices plummeted during the Great…

It sucks your house didn’t appreciate more, but when you sold it you also got back the money you paid into the mortgage. If you’d been renting all of that time the money would be gone. 

I would say you are anticipating a big one, and that is anticipating your future needs. A house is more of a commitment than renting, and it isn’t so easy to change if it isn’t a good fit?

Don’t most world record sized foods look gross?

People who need to be told this probably shouldn’t be allowed to operate a stove. 

They don’t get much bigger than this. My my favorite musicians are all either old or dead. It’s all quite depressing. 

Nothing against Donna, but I was always more of a Jackie man myself. Similarly, I was always drawn more to Monica than Rachael on Friends. I guess I have thing for brunettes. Funny that I married a blonde woman. 

I never really thought about that, but it makes sense. 

One thing that isn’t clear to me is whether the emissions from gas stoves can contribute to the development of asthma, or just cause symptoms in someone who has it. One of my kids has what his doctor describes as mild asthma. It’s luckily not a problem too often. We do have a gas stove, and I almost always use the…

The paragraph I quote was written to describe what the original series was about. Once we start seeing more articles about the Frasier revival, wouldn’t it be odd to see a paragraph say In that original series, which aired from 19XX to 20XX, we followed Frasier Crane, Martin Crane, Dafne, and Roz with no mention of…

That’s unfortunate. I do a lot of high-heat cooking, so your smoke alarm issue is a frequent one for me too. From March until October I try and keep it to cooking outdoors, but it’s a real problem the rest of the year. I usually have to remove a hallway smoke alarm when doing so. I own my house so I can do what I want…

My main point is this: “In that original series, which aired from 1998 to 2006, we followed Eric Forman (a nerdy, mop-haired Topher Grace) and his cadre of friends, which included next-door neighbor and crush Donna (a lanky, dry-witted Laura Prepon), lovebirds Kelso and Jackie (Ashton Kutcher in full airhead mode…
