I bought a non-smart thermostat 3 years ago, that is programmable, and works pretty well. The allure of the Nest has me wanting to replace it. Is it really worth getting rid of a perfectly good thermostat for a Nest?

If you’re spending more than you can afford, who’s fault is that? Some people are in tough situations, I know my family was at one point too. You don’t need to be an accountant to know that you probably can’t afford something.

I’m not at all really disagreeing with you, but writing off common sense is getting more and more common. The saying “If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is” has been around forever. These people should be asking that question. “I have no money or credit, but I can have a new sofa and TV today and just pay…

While I agree, that it’s a shady and “scammy” operation, it’s not the rental centers problem that their customers are financially irresponsible. Maybe legislature should be passed to outline the process in simple terms for customers? “This is how much you’ll pay a month, when you’re done paying this will be how much…

Anyone remember Time Splitters 2? This totally reminds me of that:

I was training for my half and did a run in around 96-98ºF heat. I did not enjoy that, it was basically like running with a wool blanket over your head. I much prefer around 30-40º days for running.

I really love the material design. Flat, simple, it just works.

In the States, or at least NY, you should call the police regardless of injury (or even damage in most cases). They document that “Yes” there was an accident and act as sort of impartial third party by getting everyone’s story. The officer can then issue tickets if appropriate, and go from there.

I don’t have time </sarcasm>

I think it’s more so best practice. Like “Hey your Password123 that you setup 4 years ago...you should probably change that anyway”

Unless it’s a site like last pass that has everything encrypted and the ability to use two factor authentication.

Basically. I’m not far north enough to be in Canada, but the past couple years in Buffalo we’ve had stretches of sub zero highs. I think our weather stretched for two months before we got above freezing.

Not to mention your door handles and windows freeze shut. Try going through the Tim Horton’s drive-thru now!

I think once it becomes part of the modern vernacular, it just becomes accepted. Also trying to make sense of the English language is a losing battle. Like, all English origins and greek letters aside, why is there a goddamn P in pneumonia? Decoration?

Windows 8 needed some work initially. Once 8.1 came out it became a lot better. There is a noticeable difference in performance with Windows 8.1 and it’s server counterpart 2012 (R2). As a 8.1 power user, I can tell you I spend maybe <1% of my computer time in the Tile/Metro screen. Lots of keyboard shortcuts (which…

100% agreement. My wife left a salon, which cost her some clients and in turn money. She wound up at a much better salon where she is steadily building up more clients. She is a lot happier and in an environment that is properly managed and owned. I’d much rather make less and be at a job I love. If you can make money…

My new job (second week here) offered double what I was previously making. Call me foolish but I didn’t dare ask for a cent more.

Yep, I worked for a college and most people were really good about being polite. I never belittled anyone about not knowing something simple. You know what, they were a lot better at their job then I would be. I don’t care if you’re a VP or a custodian, we’re all doing a job and I’ll give you all the respect I can. If…

Not with group policy.
