Really good details in the story, 5/5, would hoon.

Is it weird that I absolutely love Shiraz/Syrah and Malbec with steaks instead of Cabernet Sauvignon? I usually like Bordeaux wines (Merlot, Cab, and mixtures of the two typically) for just relaxed drinking without food or with less flavorful meats, but again, I’m probably just weird.

You have a glaringly, egregious error in your article regarding the voting record for Women’s Suffrage (19th Amendment) in which only 9% of Republicans and 40% of democrats voted against it. There is much to be said for how the parties have evolved over time, but the fact remains that on this issue, it was the…

You should keep in mind that multiple notable terrorists have held American citizenship, this is the entire reason that the Executive Branch engaged the FISA courts to permit the assassination of citizens deemed enemies of the country (by the President and the intelligence community). http://www.reuters.com/article/us-…

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!
