I know this is a year-old comment, so sorry for the random notification, but in case anybody else comes across this article (like me), old books can be recycled like any other paper, though if it’s a hardcover you’ll want to remove the cover first. Those aren’t recyclable.

It depends. I’m not an expert, but I’ve been working closely with the public service loan forgiveness program and one thing they told me to watch out for is, if you’re paying extra on an individual loan, to not advance the due date, because it might not be considered an “on-time payment” if your payment due for that…

Indeed, I would say that if Rafi were in Minnesota today, he would notice that it hit 40 degrees with several inches of snow still on the ground in the Twin Cities. If I were outside lugging a bunch of snow around, I’d probably have shed my coat and sweater, too.

I swear by the America’s Test Kitchen pozole recipes from the ATK Family Cookbook. They have a regular one and a slow-cooker one. They don’t use chiles in either, but the pork slow cooked for several hours in an onion/tomato/stock stew is just amazing. The regular recipe is, in my opinion, better than the slow-cooker…

Reminds me of peewee football when they would make you put a ring on your helmet if you exceeded the age-level’s weight limit.

Week three to four was a big leap for me. You go from jogging for 9 minutes in a 28 minute run to jogging for 16 minutes in a 31 minute run. Not only is it almost twice as much running time, but you lose four minutes of walking (recovery) time and they throw in the longest single jogs to date (five minutes).

This is 100% wrong. The people who wrote the 14th Amendment, and the Civil Rights Act upon which it was based, were very clear that it was meant to apply to everybody but foreign dignitaries and Native Americans (who were considered to be governed by their tribes.

Birthright citizenship is foundational to one of our fundamental founding principles: That all men are created equal. No matter who you are - rich/poor, black/white, young/old - we are all equal in God’s (or Nature’s) eyes.

Sixty percent of Chicago’s crime guns are purchased outside the state of Illinois, with twenty percent of them coming from Indiana.

If you’re a Nielsen family, yes. We were for a few months before we moved and they were counting Hulu Live since it shows the same commercials as cable.

Hell, I watched a half-hour of cornhole the other day and you could count the literally tens of people in the seats.  ESPN will air anything they can get cheaply enough.

I tend to be an esports television skeptic (at least to the extent that they will ever be anything more than a niche fan thing), but this seems like something that could be said about any sport:

If people came into articles about my pastime and whined about how it wasn’t real and wasn’t impressive when my friends are putting hundreds of hours into it, I’d be defensive too.

Lifehacker and Gizmodo post How-Tos on violating copyright law all the time.  I don’t see you complaining then.

Yeah, that’s something that’s usually pretty easy to negotiate having the seller pay for since it is, as you say, only about $650.

But those things aren’t necessities, they’re luxuries.
