I learned about a few e-magazines that are free if you have Amazon Prime and the Kindle app. Consumer Reports was one of the few well known/mainstream magazines on there as of January 2017. I have February’s issue on my phone right now.

You can apply for a fee waiver, if you can demonstrate need. I have no idea if it’s easy or there is a cap, but it is available.

Microwaves too? We were allowed microwaves (but only the lower powered 700W ones), small fridges, and coffee makers. It was about power (older building), but mostly about college students being stupid and causing fires (which happened several times a year).

I used my illegal rice cooker though.

I noticed that too (and I graduated 10+ years ago). All new dormitory buildings were the apartment style ones (1-4 bedrooms sharing a single kitchen). They were significantly more expensive.

Did you have concrete floors too? That would be harsh.

I graduated in the early 2000s. We had mandatory meal plans. Freshman year required the full meal plan (3 meals a day, which is overkill and promotes over-eating). After that, I got the bare minimum (the $500-$750) that I can either spend in the buffet-style cafeteria or a-la-carte at the food court. The convenience…

I'm not in the medical profession, but I wonder if they kept it vague because they couldn't mention modern medical practices? I wasn't really clued into the "twist" until the fireman showed up, but I did wander why they were trying a vaginal birth on preemie multiples.

I'm hoping there will be more interactions in future episodes. They were deliberately hiding how they were related to each other (the parents timeline, the adopted son's parents, no interaction between the biological twins and the adopted son). So I'm hoping that at the very least, we'll see close interactions with…

For Hilton HHonors members, the Citi Hilton Reserve Visa is great. While there is a $95 annual fee, I think one perk makes it worthwhile. Every year, you get a one free weekend (Fri-Sun) certificate good for most of the Hilton properties. I usually like it use it at high value properties (like when I used it at a NYC…

I was planning on cancelling the Costco affiliated card when it moved to Visa (I already have an annual fee Visa that I use pretty much exclusively).

But the 4% back on gas (there’s a $2k yearly cap I think) and 2% back at Costco made me keep and use the new Visa.

Plus, if you want straight cash, you can go to the…

I thought the TV series did a much better job with Frank than the books. Pre-war, they were very much in love (maybe puppy love). Post-war, they are trying to reconnect after years of being apart. Both of them had changed as people. But they seem to still have some chemistry and were trying.

Honestly, post-time travel…

I would love to end all for-profit colleges (or at least denying them federal funding which would end them eventually). It's such a big scam and I'm sad to hear that so many people (even today) are falling for that.

I assume it means in-state public colleges (including the 2 year community ones). They tend to be typically cheaper than private ones. I know that in my current state of Virginia, the tuition for the very good public ones cost around $15,000 for the whole academic year. However, this is for in-state students only. If…

Yeah, I was also perplexed by the 3 month hiatus. Granted, I only had minimal loans (federally provided, no private ones) and I had a 6 month grace period after graduating too.

Maybe it would apply to all loans, not just the federally provided Stafford ones? Now that I'm reading through the comments, maybe it applies…

Well, obviously some of this is fictionalized. (We don’t actually know for sure if Angelica really liked Hamilton romantically for example. It’s speculation.)

I’m just quoting the part of the song about her burning the letters that they had apparently written to each other. I think it hints that some of their story in…

I’m not a Hamilton scholar but I thought the song “Burn” made it pretty clear that we don’t know what happened after the affair became public. She burned all those letters between the two of them. In reality, we’re not sure if there were many correspondence between the two.

And apparently the biographical book that it…

SPOILERS....

Last time I checked, there wasn’t any immediate plans to change the actors. I think they're just going to go with makeup.

I'm in the same boat (though I haven't been able to see how many I get). All of my few purchases through Ticketmaster were for professional musicals. I'm not really a live "rock" concert kind of person.

I own and use the Met often. It's not horrible, very cheap, and is metal. Other similar metal pens (I tend to chew my pens a lot and I don't with the metal ones) cost a lot more. I have a purple (Animal style) one so it's a little less boring than the other colors.

That’s great. I am hoping that he means a full recording which we can eventually buy. (There’s a documentary with clips that will be shown in PBS later this year. Miranda already announced the latter.)

I’m going to be the unpopular opinion here, but I vastly preferred the musical (which I agree was not a critical masterpiece) to the book. To be fair, I read the book after I had loved and enjoyed the cast recording (but before I saw it in the first national tour).

I thought Gregory Maguire had excellent ideas, but the…
