I can vouch for the ox tails and whole chicken. I hate cooking but do it to have control over what I eat and to also have leftovers. The whole chicken thing was like some kind of sorcery. Only used a cup of water. Put the chicken on the rack and rubbed it with salt and pepper. Squeezed a lemon over it and put in the…

Since its inception the membership fee for Google Express was $10/ month (or $95 full year) and that cost was hard to justify. In August the fee was eliminated. Looking at the website again, many of the prices (with free delivery over $25) are the same as in-store. It may now be worth considering.

The simple answer is “Don’t”. For every dog you buy from a breeder, 2 others are killed in local shelters. Society’s fascination with boutique animals contributes not only to overpopulation, but to a very high body count every year.

They reportedly offered $400 and a hotel night to anyone who would volunteer to be bumped, then later raised the offer to $800.

This should not be referred to as a case of overbooking; they were not overbooked. They were fully booked, and decided they needed some employees (that were not booked) moved to a different airport.

This is Microsoft. Think about how far they’ve come with this stuff. Remember when you couldn’t open a Word document in anything but Word? Now they’re just a zipped folder loaded with XML files in glorious plaintext. The idea that Microsoft is releasing source code for stuff before they’ve milked 20 years of profits…

I suppose this is okay if you want to have a drastically reduced standard of living post-retirement. 8x your salary but they estimate you'll live for 25 years on that? Even with social security (which I wouldn't count on) you're going to have to radically change your lifestyle, which I certainly wouldn't be interested…
