I picked up a regular PS4 when it was $200 on Black Friday and it was a great purchase. But I’m also somebody who doesn’t play multiplayer much and is perfectly fine mowing through the back catalog: The games I’ve played the most so far are Spider-Man, Lego Avengers, and Arkham Knight, to give you an idea.

I don’t know. I feel like this advice would work particularly well for a freelancer or somebody whose hours vary week-to-week, because you can definitively say, “this thing will cost me one published piece” or whatever and know the amount of work it will take to do that.

I would also recommend having the seller buy a home warranty as part of the closing. They’ll usually do it because they’re not terribly expensive and they’ll cover most of the appliance-related expenses you might have in the first year.

I totally respect that, but I get the urge to want people to try it anyway. I was 25 before I started using real onions and garlic in dishes. I had just grown up on onion powder and garlic powder because my dad allegedly didn’t like them in natural form and I had always hated raw onions. I, too, always picked them out…

I highly recommend the NYT Crossword app. Not only does it have decades of previous crosswords, but the ability to track your success makes it pretty obvious how you are improving.

But I think there’s a huge difference between talking about something you’re actually watching at the moment and something you might, someday, watch.

I wholeheartedly endorse everything here.

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…

The middle class growth had more to do with everyone working than how the rich were being taxed.

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.
