At which point you will be furious and raise hell at the bank for something you could have spent 30 minutes of your time avoiding.

I have a friend that’s a financial adviser for wealthy people, and he says that most of them won’t spend more than ~1/10th their annual salary on a vehicle. He said it’s very rare that even the “spendy” clients spend more than 1/3 annual salary on even a special vehicle they really want.

I don’t understand how I’m supposed to load the bottom rack first. Am I supposed to leave all my dishes in the sink until I’m ready to fully load and run the dishwasher?

And while I am not hugely concerned, the whole non-ionizing radiation thing is total bull - proton beam therapy also uses non-ionizing radiation, yet somehow it kills human tissue.

What’s the point of being able to program macros if you don’t include any extra buttons beyond the standard layout?

Isn’t that basically Google’s business model also?

I know this is an old article, but they were commenting on the fact that you told people to focus on “how far away you are from the next tax bracket.” That’s completely irrelevant, and there’s no point to “chasing” tax brackets. Yes, reducing your taxable income is always a good thing, but because of the…

I was more commenting about the fact that luxury vehicles have become less roomy than their non-luxury counterparts, which seems backwards.

Drive a Mazda6 and and then an E-Klasse Benz. Drive a K900 and then a BMW 7 Series. Drive a Honda Accord and then an Audi A4.

I think support, both in initial purchase and subsequent ownership, is one key feature that defines a ‘luxury’ car.

Those are such weird things to make your requirements. That would qualify a Mustang as a luxury car but not a Cadillac CT6.

The larger the sensor, the more light it can take in per unit of time

I mean, yeah you can always spam food to get through basically any obstacle. Your options are:

I think of the rain the same as I think of the weapon durability: it’s a deliberate design choice that means the player has to adapt or utilize additional resources if they want to accomplish their goal.

It never breaks, it runs out of power and needs to recharge. Jeez.

EDGE was around 128-256kbps in most deployments. 3G started around 2Mbps with EV-DO, up to around 5-10Mbps with HSPA (and later more with HSPA+, but that was a “pre-4g” technology when LTE was already in the works). The transition from 2G to 3G was around 2002 with Verizon and AT&T launching it that year, and 3G to…

You’ll hit your data cap in 1 day as opposed to 15.

It’s unfortunate that it’s so expensive to be environmentally friendly. That’s more than twice the price of a foam cooler. I wonder if it’s really that much more expensive to manufacture or if the company is preying on people who want to use a more environmentally friendly option.
