More people can dunk.

I got my blender at a restaurant supply store. Not fancy, but damn near indestructible, and it comes apart for good thorough cleaning.

And the materials aren’t even that good! After a couple of months listening to the show I spent an afternoon at the downtown library reading all of his books, and let’s just say the content was thin.

Sure, the loss/gain is simple math, but the behavior behind it is where the practical knowledge comes in. If I just take my regular diet and cut 20% of everything I eat, I’ll cut my calorie input, but I’ll be hungry all the time, so I’ll have trouble sticking with it. If I know to cut 20% of my calories by focusing on…

Huh, I had the opposite experience. I lived in a cheap place and it increased my earning potential (it gave me more money to plow back into my business.)

He says to do 4, 5, and 6 at the same time. It’s been a while since I listened to his show, but if I recall correctly, his general position on retirement savings was that maxing out your retirement accounts was nice, but not nearly enough for most people.

I feel like this kind of strategy can totally work until you’ve got kids. It’s not much more expensive to live as a couple than as an individual (at least in my part of the world, where housing cost dwarfs pretty much everything else.) Two people in a 1 bed/1 bath gets cozy, but it’s definitely doable. Cut back here…

I think Dave Ramsey has a lot of good advice, but a lot of the products he hawks (from identity theft insurance to high-fee mutual fund managers) are pretty bad, and the promises of easy 12% returns on your investments are pretty misleading.

Wow. No. Don’t use this tool. That’s not how to value equity comp in pre-IPO companies.

I think the fact that every state has its own 529 can cause a lot of decision paralysis (at least for me).

Like with most things, I generally find Kirkland Signature olive oil pretty decent. It’s not the most delicate flavor profile, but it tastes olive-y, which is all I’m really looking for in a go-to oil for everyday applications like a weeknight salad.

What did he say? A lot gets lost in euphemisms like “homophobic slur.” “Faggot” vs “queer” vs “cocksucker” have fairly different connotations.

I just assumed MLS franchises were valuable because they gave developers and local politicians plausible cover for sweetheart land deals.

The last time I saw statistics on this, whites were net beneficiaries of race based college admissions, and it was mostly Asians who were getting fewer admits, at least at elite schools.

For what it’s worth, it really doesn’t seem like Mr. James has the money to buy that kind of car. The Forbes under 30 list doesn’t profile rich people, it profiles interesting people who could be on to something big in the future. Nothing in his profile indicates that he’s uber-rich — he’s been a line engineer at a…

Being in front is way more work than following someone. At the 1:30 mark you mention, Aru (wearing Italy’s colors because he’s the reigning Italian national champion) makes his move, which basically consists of two things: (1) for a short burst (20 seconds or so) put out way more power than anyone else, and (2) make…

Yeah, but the graininess of the 3-D rendering of the word “LOST” always bugged the hell out of me for those 7 seconds.

That’s a whole lot of bitcoin cheerleading, and it doesn’t really communicate what the average person needs to know.

Also, it’s not remotely true. Something like 60% of the hashing power is in China.

Is caramelizing onions a high-heat application?
