NBC News and the Wall Street Journal ran a poll today where they polled head-to-head matchups with Trump for each of the six major candidates except for Warren. There was no explanation for why she was excluded. 

This! This! This! You want surgical masks, which have the wire. Then you just pinch the wire around your nose and no more fogging.

I do think there’s something to be said about the moving goalposts on some of these runs. Getting to the end cutscene never used to be the end point of an OOT run, it was when you made the last hit on Ganon. Triggering the end cut scene is a fine-enough choice but it seems kind of weird to change the ultimate goal of…

Seems like this would be a good use for a secured credit card. Get them a secured credit card with a really low limit (I think my first was $300). That way, they can never spend so much that it will break you and you don’t have to worry about unexpected expenses coming up on your statement.

As a librarian, it surprises me how often I have to say something similar to this, but: A book is not the thing. A book is a physical representation of the thing. When you recycle a book (which I assume he’s doing with these eventually), you are not destroying the information inside, you are only destroying one…

I feel it’s important to note one thing: the average person does not pay $7.69/mo in bank fees. The average person pays nothing in bank fees because, according to this same survey, 73 percent of people don’t pay any bank fees.

I would argue that what describe as “Millennial approaches to life” are an adaptation to the problems of housing cost and student debt rather than a pure choice, but then we’re getting into a “chicken and the egg” problem that I don’t think has a clear answer.

Like any government program, it depends entirely on your definition of “fair.” We have all kinds of programs in this country that aren’t “fair.” Homeowners get a big tax break in my state, but renters’ tax breaks are limited by income. Why do 26-year olds get to stay on their parents’ health insurance but not 27-year…

My baby was born 12 weeks prematurely and has Chronic Lung Disease of Prematurity. She’ll be fine eventually and, from the outside, you wouldn’t know that anything is wrong with her but if she gets a respiratory infection there’s a decent chance that it will send her to the hospital. So, no, I don’t want my child…

He wouldn’t need to liquidate $2B worth of shares every single day. A smart investor (which I assume Bezos is) would spread out his sales over the course of an entire trading year (about 253 days) rather than flood the market all at once.

You might see a small, temporary dip in the price but if the fundamentals of the company are the same and it’s known that the sale is for tax purposes, there’s no reason for the stock price to change long-term.

I have their last game, Vindication, which is very good. I will say that they have a tremendous reputation on Kickstarter, they are very good at keeping the campaign interesting (apparently their big hook this time is that one of the planets will be designed by the backers). And they shipped Vindication like two…

I think the compliance concerns are largely overblown. Something like 90% of American wealth is held in financial instruments and real estate, which are all pretty easy to valuate and are mostly already valuated. Make insurance companies mandatory IRS reporters and you’ll capture a lot of the rest.

Stocks don’t go down in price just because somebody decides to sell their shares. You’re conflating correlation and causation. Stock prices often go down in price when a lot of shares hit the market, but that’s because a lot of shares hitting the market is usually a sign of somebody (or lots of somebodys) losing faith…

It wouldn’t be that hard. Local governments already appraise property. And financial firms already have reporting requirements. Just expand those and you’ll capture the vast majority of property. Make insurance companies report too (to capture those boats and expensive paintings) and that should just about do it.

I agree. I see Disney+ joining our regular rotation along with Prime, Starz, and HBO with Netflix/Hulu Live as our everyday subscriptions.

CBS never owned The Big Bang Theory, it was always a Warner Bros. show, which just goes to show how confusing and complicated these things can be.

CBS All-Access isn’t a streaming service, it’s a negotiating tool to bump up their carriage fees.

I mean, in that sense, the risk of SIDS in general is overblown. Even before the Back-to-Sleep campaign, the death rate was only about 3 in every 2,000 kids.  But if we can cut that number to 1 in every 2,000 with some very basic safety practices, why not?

I agree.  So as long as you and your spouse (pre-marriage shouldn’t have any account sharing in my opinion) agree on spending habits, there shouldn’t be any reason have separate accounts, and if you don’t, that’s an issue that really should be worked out before marriage.  Otherwise, you’re just kicking the can down…
