I’m not familiar enough to make broad generalizations on how individuals spend their time, but to your point 2, STEM jobs are by far the most rapidly expanding series of markets for employment. If you had a sudden surge of individuals going into STEM fields, it would likely continue to surge the affiliated fields. At…

Why purchase Doug’s book for $4.99 when you can get this (https://www.amazon.com/RUST-OLEUM-211…) trial size wood stain container for just $0.45?

Will I need an accredited investor portfolio to handle the repair costs? What’s the legroom situation for tall (>6') people?

I am greater than two standard deviations above the norm for height in the US. Driving usually involves moving the seat all the way back, then reclining the backrest to where my head is close to parallel with the pillar in smaller cars. My knees generally never go under a steering wheel in non-truck, non-crossover…

What kind of legroom and recline distance does it have? Could you fit a > 6' tall person in it?

This sounded all believable until the baseball bats and bicycle chains part. What kind of criminal doesn’t have at least a few firearms in Oakland?

A 1988 Nissan pickup was stolen from me by the police. They insisted that the area immediately in front of my garage was not owned by the same owners of the garage and thus they declared it abandoned and towed it within 12 hours of tagging it. Caught it at a junkyard just before they were going to strip it. As is…

Your narratives are so much more compelling when you casually walk into threats of violence against a victim of perpetual abuse. Please, do go on.

1) If your asking, your capabilities are not sufficient to conduct a cyber attack, and 2) What you are describing is illegal.

The real problem I’ve had with this since it began is the inconsistency with which security rules are applied. When information is classified under things like the Atomic Energy Act or other laws, violation of those laws are given specific penalties depending on the offense, and codified in corresponding CFR sections.

My anecdotal observations differ depending on where I am geographically to work. If I am in the mountain west or west coast, everything is more casual, jeans + collared shirt for the men and many of the women dress similarly, subbing in leggings and other outerwear depending on weather. Management dresses in oxfords &…

Believe it or not, taxis aren’t nearly as prolific outside of cities like NYC. The difference here is that Uber and Lyft and their affiliated clones can be picked up without all of the typical taxi infrastructure. When a company spreads out of just low velocity, big city movement, it can have far greater impacts,…

Thanks, that makes a lot of sense.

Do these work when all your monthly non-rent spending is done on credit cards for points? I pay the statement balance each month, but it seems these solutions only work for checking account debit-style transactions.

Extremely fascinating, thank you for the post! Do international drivers licenses function in Japan, or are there special hoops one must jump through to drive there? Also, do Japanese GPS systems suffer the same kinds of local distance frustrations we encounter with the European and American counterparts? I can imagine…

You should be far more daring and go across the most rural sections of the US that you can. I would recommend the following:
Kansas down I-70 west of Topeka
Texas down I-10 between El Paso and San Antonio
The Dakotas & Nebraska (any)
Eastern Wyoming and Montana

It could be your epic most-boring drive of 2016!

Very cool, thanks for the summary!

The problem really is for people who are just starting out, or people with low incomes. Prior to getting approved for my new-main card, I would get above 50% utilization every month; now that my main card has a much higher limit, I never come close to that.

This is also helpful advice for people who aren’t really…
