The answer to “where should I live?” largely relies on the answer to “what do I want to do for a living?” Many industries are concentrated in one place or a small number of places. My industry is largely concentrated in DC (where I live), NYC and, to a lesser extent, LA and Chicago. Everywhere else is the minor…

I had this same issue for years. I found that Charles Tyrwhitt extra slim fit shirts fit very well if I get a slightly larger neck size (which translates into more room in the shoulders). Also, Hugh & Crye athletic fit shirts work for me, but i have to get the sleeves shortened about an inch.

This is correct.

Lots of federal agencies operate on this higher pay scale because they employ a lot of lawyers. Turns out, you can’t hire and retain good lawyers unless you pay them a competitive wage. This is free market capitalism at work.

Most people tend to try to follow the law. Just because a law wont stop ALL misconduct doesn’t mean the law is pointless. You can both have a law AND encourage people to do their homework. Those two things are not mutually exclusive.

Examples of regulations the CFPB either wrote or heavily amended:

Can you provide some examples?

Some of the rules the CFPB now has responsibility for already existed (like RESPA), but it is not at all true that most of the rule referenced in this article were just not enforced.

I keep a box of Builder Bars in my desk at work at all times (along with Nature’s Bakery Fig Bars for variety). These are my go-to snack at 5 o’clock when I know I’m going to be working until 7 or 8 (which is typical) to bridge the gap between lunch and dinner. I tried the Quest Bars, but prefer the taste and…

That they will bombard you with solicitations to utilize their other, money making, services.

As a person who recently spent nearly a quarter million dollars and 3 years of my life on grad school, I think this article is pretty dead on. Well done.

You can find cheaper and funner ways to do that than grad school.

I’m an attorney, I work in a very specific field. I don’t, and never will, know all of the law in my relatively small area off the top of my head.

Why doesn't he just raise the price? It will make him more money per order and decrease the total orders.

Not part of his legal strategy: Not smoking a ton of weed.

This is mine as well. Aside from the remarkable beach, we also found a boat that took small groups on tours to the various grottos, or to Capri (we liked the first tour so much, we did the second one too). The captain was great, stocked the boat with Peronis and Prosecco, and then on the way back made dinner…

I disagree with almost all of this. The last point about used cars being an infinitely better value I am in complete agreement with. The part about warranties is mostly a parade of horribles and something about tacos. The rest is pretty far off base.

Not mentioned: Ebooks have dictionaries built in. If you are reading a book and don't know what a word means, you can tap it and get the definition. Also, many books have the same function for characters: if you recognize a name but can't place it among the many minor characters, you can tap the name and get a…

We get it: Roger Goodell Does Things, Is Asshole. Don't need an update every time he does a thing.

Another quibble: They mention the "standard 28 percent 'front-end' debt ratio." Its not the "standard" front end ratio, it is the "maximum" front end debt ratio. Big difference. If they are going to phrase it like they did, the article shouldn't say "can you afford to buy a home" it should say "can you qualify to…
