lifehacker: “Be THAT asshole”

And they’re still going to run interferometer tests to see if it creates a warp field, which if that checks out, this will be the holy grail. This will give us the stars. If confirmed, i reserve the right to go absolutely batshit insane with glee.

Even if the warp part doesn’t check out, it may not have given us the…

"U-turns can be dangerous but are they illegal? Well, one hint is that there are signs which say “No U-Turns.” Logically, if you need a sign to tell you when you can’t do them – then they must be legal otherwise."

how about “put thirsty plants near drainage points” ?

This is probably because, now that it’s documented, they are liable for damage to any car that hits the pothole. So it’s best to report the potholes- it lets the city know where to fix them (hey, does Waze have a road hazard reporting feature?) and it gives anyone who hits it an avenue (ugh) for redress.

Missed opportunity, this so could have been a deflating Baymax toy.

Oh, it’s like this then.

This could possibly be the absolute pinnacle of “grasp at straws” product marketing. I can’t think of anything anyone could slap the Star Wars name on that would have less connection to the franchise, unless Irwin comes out with a line of “The Faucet Awakens” pipe wrenches.

Excellent point...but all I can think of is this.

About #2 - be sure you know the details of any mortgage with PMI - a lot of recent loans carry a % paid or date for it to drop (whichever is later). We decided to not add extra money to each payment until the PMI drops off.

It’s amazing what you can live without or delay, when it’s up to you to fix it yourself.

I always try to keep an extra $3-5K on hand for emergencies. When a salesman tried to convince me to buy “gutter helmet” for an outlandish price, I told him I needed to maintain my emergency budget so couldn’t do it. That winter my furnace died, so was glad I’d kept that emergency fund topped off.

"Because everything you ever loved is coming back again (except Firefly)"

I know this is crazy talk, but we could just have a new Star Trek TV show.

You should do a study. :p
