Back in undergrad I lived in an a two floor, 4 apartment building that also doubled as an off campus fraternity house. The separate garage and back fence that faced the alley was burned down by a pyromaniac the year before I moved in (another wonderful story). Because of this the building was exposed to the alley, and…

It sounds like this is more of the business being deserving of a one star review, and Yelp giving you actual power with the business owner. Isn’t this what Yelp is supposed to do?

I have had businesses contact me both for good and bad reviews. I try to be fair and honest, and I will communicate with the folks who are…

That’s not a bad idea. Spirit does something similar. Checked bags are only a real concern for me when I am traveling abroad, or carrying booze.

It’s been said, but the risk of bags being delayed or lost is pretty high. I used to work in sales and have status - and the difference between pulling my carry on to a rental car desk/colleague’s waiting car and waiting for a checked back can be anywhere from 20-40m or worse. The only time it ever made sense to check…

Time matters too. There are fines for being consistently late, and airplane personal don’t get paid until they are in the air. Trying to collect fees as people board a flight could be a nightmare. Especially when gate checking can happen for any odd reason (not enough room, flight switched to smaller plane, etc). Add…

Before deregulation, middle class America didn’t fly all that often.

Assuming Jon remains a bastard, Bran is the heir of Winterfell. Ramsey is the one who reported that Theon Greyjoy killed Bran and Rickon and burned the bodies. If Rickon shows up alive, of course he will suspect Bran is too...

Too expensive, cars are dirty too often, they screw tourists on route/distance, sometimes racist, and they are slow to show up outside of downtown hot spots. Uber was a godsend. Hell, even the peace of mind from knowing where the car is helps a lot.

Umm, they used to... A LOT.

I didn’t try it on purpose, but it happened to me. Rainy night, tired fiancee, and we were there until the dealer closing time. I was asked to sign a document that stated I intended to purchase in order to secure the manufacturer incentive expiring on that day, and I was asked to come in the next day to finalize the…

If you fly Spirit, checked bags are cheaper than carry-on.
Want to bring a bottle of booze as a gift (for a friend or for you)? Check the bag.

Yes, all $.05 which traces back to you.

It’s bigger seat, only one person next to you, and a fresh drink while you relax. The air also seems to be fresher (probably because of fewer people), and you feel less miserable when you deboard at your destination. Plus people seem to be more generous. In undergrad I sat next to a doctor who taught at my school, and…

You are off here. State laws differ WILDLY on what brewers can sell to consumers... In some states brewers can’t sell at all, in others, only “tastes.” Plus brewers don’t own bars in the US like they can in other countries.

But even here - it’s not a loss of jobs at stake for dealers, it is a loss of money and power.…

He is a hero of capitalism. Have you driven a Model S? That car doesn’t get made otherwise by Detroit, Germany, or Japan. And it’s made in America.

Hamilton and Franklin weren’t presidents.

A special committee can give it early as well, like they did for Obama once the threats started rolling in - http://www.cnn.com/2007/POLITICS/…

I was on a school trip to Norway, and was able to accept a summer internship while I was there. I called Travelocity to move out my return by three months. There was a fee, but it was covered by the difference in fare.

No one has mentioned yet that the Major is quite busty...

Car leather is dependent on the ranching and meat industry...
