Fighting over what makes a good pizza is a debate that could go on forever, but there is something they all have in common, they don’t deliver. I heard someone say this a few years ago, and as I went over all the places whose pizza I enjoyed the most I found it to be true. For good pizza you go to them, they don’t…

Did you try to go wagon or just stop while you were ahead?

Almost as much as I go to their sports site to be bombarded with stories about guys playing video games. You have a site for that, leave it there.

Have you been to this family of sites lately? If you scanned down the first 10 pieces of any of them you would find like 3 sponsored stories, 3 for Amazon’s daily deals, and 4 for actual stories. That doesn’t even account for the 5 to 7 ads between those 10 pieces. These sites are ad revenue whores for their new pimp.

Yes Amazon is evil, and what this shows is that you (and just about everyone) is willing to overlook that evil if the alternative saddles us with even the smallest additional burden. We are selfish creatures that despite pretending to care about others and the long term will almost always choose short term…

In theory that sounds good but from what I read that wasn’t possible because they jacked up the price on the e form he signed but couldn’t see. Again, I didn’t read the whole thing but I’m going to assume that a business this sleazy also attached a high early payoff fee to the deal. There was no way anyone was walking…

Serious question. Is there a rule about the spoken version of an offensive word being worse than the written version? I see written offensive words thrown around in stories and comments with no regard but when spoken people cover their ears.

What does Uber do? They could sit back, let someone else develop, and then buy them. Then again they probably already took the biggest PR hit they are going to take so if they can get through this why back out now?

Not everyone wants to see them all succeed. For some reason this show has me disliking all of the contestants. I actively root for each of them to fail. I think it’s because like most shows now it’s no longer about finding the best, but finding the best personality. No one just competes. Now you have to have a gimmick…

I was more of a Kiddie City theme song guy. I started singing it at work today reminiscing about the good times I used to have at both stores. Sadly my 30 year old coworker had no idea what Kiddie City was which made me feel more sad, and old.

I always thought Dwight was the basketball equivalent of Donovan McNabb. Both good players that showed little interest in trying to take their game to the next level. They relied too much on raw talent. They also have the same thin skinned passive aggressive goof off personality. All in all, underachievers who could…

Can someone point me to another industry that gives so much of their worth away so cheaply and then complains about said worth? Between unpaid internships and this “advice” there is a race to the bottom in terms of value. I went to school for accounting and never was I offered or did I offer to give away my services…

With this self driving disaster, and the weather disasters in the news lately it had me thinking. How do self driving cars respond to human traffic commands? We’ve all been in the position where one side of the road is closed so someone directs a certain amount of cars to go and then alternates sides. How do self…

You can’t invest more than you made. A drug dealer who claims nothing can’t just drop a couple thousand in their Roth. The smart thing for them to do is pay taxes on their drug money. At some point they are probably going to get caught, and while a couple years in prison might not bother them Uncle Sam taking their…

It’s not that he took out a loan for the PSLs. It’s not even that he did so at 8%. I am baffled about the 15 years he took it out for. If you are so cash poor that you need to stretch out 8K over 15 years then you can’t afford the parking let alone the PSLs and annual ticket costs. I would say that the underwriting of…

I’ll take one with a Buick Roadmaster Estate please.

Actually to fairly compare paying in full vs a 0% (or any percent) loan you need to factor in opportunity cost. There are lots of things you can do with say 30k. One is to put it all into a depreciating asset. Another is to put it into something that might make you money and then slowly pay off that depreciating…

Be aware that the rate a dealership quotes you, and what the bank quotes you are not the same. A dealership can give your info to their lender who comes back with 3% APR. The dealer can then say the lender quoted 8% and pocket the difference. They do it because if they get you to buy at any rate above 3% that’s extra…

Seems like a good idea until you realize that the players, like the middle class, will never push for something that helps the vast majority because they see their position as just a stepping stone on their way to the next level. Look at the NFL, despite the fact that most are out of the league by something like their…

I have been mined for content. I feel so violated.
