In accounting, a difference too small to matter is called immaterial. The difference between 1 in 292.2 million and 0 in 292.2 million is immaterial. Another way to look at the odds is if you had 292.2 million gallons of distilled water (about 8 pounds a gallon) and you added 8 pounds of salt, you’d still have…

When I was a kid, all the adults I knew in New York said Jersey drivers were the worst.  Not true!  Jersey drivers aren’t any worse than anywhere else.  They’re just befuddled because they’re looking for a place to turn left.

Where I live there’s a property transfer tax. It isn’t terribly expensive. S0, some people over-pay that tax to inflate their apparent net worth. Therefore, you can’t depend just on the reported sale price to set taxable value.

All state laws are different. In NY, if the school district line comes through your house (not the property, the house) you can switch school districts (only once) either when you buy the house or when you first send children to school.  The law used to say you could switch every year.

Proof read your deed. When I bought the house I live in now, there was a typo in the first deed I received from the seller’s lawyer. It would have moved my entire purchase 1.2 inches south. That would mean I hadn’t purchased the northern most 1.2 inches of the property and further that I had bought 1.2 inches of the…

How many people currently consider Kennedy a serious contender for the Democratic presidential nomination?  If his name wan’t Kennedy, would anyone?

Where I live, speed limits on local streets are largely suggestions and on limited access highways, they don’t even rise to that level. If I drive at the speed limit around here, I’m afraid of getting rear-ended.

How much does it cost to build your own tow truck, and how much do you get per pound for junking a car these days?

How, and why?

What if MTG is right? I suppose it’s at least theoretically possible that she would be right about something, eventually. Isn’t it?

On the plus side, maybe some of the runoff from Florida’s new, radioactive roads will wash into the Gulf of Mexico and kill off some of the red tide.

Do you notice how many more comments this feature draws when it isn’t presented as a video?

According to dictionary.com, a generator converts mechanical energy to electricity, so what you’ve described, while often called a power pack, is still a battery, not a generator.

What is the difference between a battery-powered generator and a battery?

If it cost him $8,000 to make the trip, why did he do it because he “wanted” that $50? Also, between photo captions and the article, he used both 600 and 800 gallons of gas. Which was it?

This was a loooooong time ago. At Ft. Bragg, trying to get to NYC on a short leave. Took a bus to Charlotte. Flew from Charlotte to LGA with two stops. First stop, Byrd Field in Richmond VA. I know they don’t call it that anymore, but as I said, it was loooooong time ago. Eastern prop jet (I won’t say it again) landed…

6=5?  Also our oak costs us hundreds of dollars a year because it has oak anthracnose.  

IANAL, but by answering a question about her feelings, isn’t Ms. Carroll expressing an opinion? And if she was expressing an opinion, doesn’t that fall outside the boundaries of defamation, libel and slander?

Have you noticed that you used to get a lot of comments on this feature when it wasn’t a video?

I remember when $2,000 to $3,000 was half the price of a big one!
