Then, once you feel comfortable with two, add a third. Because, what the hell!

If one's worried about an attractive wife turning into an unattractive mom; then yeah, it's probably not right for them. Here's to hoping we all age perfectly!

Just imagine how the people who didn't save 85% of their paycheck feel! I think we all worry about this; some are more frugal than others. However, I know I didn't really worry about this the way I do now until I started havin

You have to be okay with making rich people richer, in order to get some things done. What do you want out of it? It's obviously not money. So go do that instead. Find some freelance work or contract work that doesn't make your

I saw this as a way to help people get pregnant, since it'd work in either direction. In that case, how can you not approve of it? It's simply a natural biological aide.

The only thing worse is experiencing the same conditions, but being a half-day/day drive away from these places. Hell, we run our air conditioner sometimes just to get the humidity down below 50% indoors.

In my only experience with the East Coast (CT), I also noticed the general lack of air conditioning, even in homes which to my Midwestern mindset surely had to have state of the art HVAC systems (they didn't). Oh how I long for 70-degr

This is a geothermal heat pump. There are traditional outside air conditioner units that run in reverse which use heat in the air, as well.

You're paying for them none-the-less. In nearly every case over time, you'll pay more to rent it than own it.

Biological needs and taking a break don't necessitate 20-30 minutes every 300 miles, though. I think this is the only advantage combustion engines still have. It seems to be a big one. To refill a tank takes less than 10 minutes, with

Agreed. As least there's an asset with owned items.

by EADGBE 8y ago
Sometimes it's just not worth it to own everything. Renting makes a lot of sense for a lot of people. Blockbuster et al were doing this forever ago. If you only cared to watch/use something once; renting it made a lot of sense, an

Needing to make a fridge open sources screams at me that we really need to be simplifying the operation of a fridge. I think component complication for planned obsolescence is much more of a thing than programming something in X years to ki

They're only speaking of a service to keep food and beverages at a certain temperature. No delivery. That's another service. And another line item on your revolving monthly expenses.

by EADGBE 8y ago
Instead of you owning the fridge, now the service company does. It'll just buy you a new fridge every time some little thing goes wrong; because it's cheaper to pay for delivery of a new one than to pay skilled labor to come and f

No question it's nice... But I can't seem to keep a mobile phone over a long period of time without it feeling more slow and buggy. I think the updates have everything to do with that.

On one hand, the connectivity is awesome. But on the other hand, I haven't kept a phone in my possession for more than 3 or 4 years. And these are wayyy more expensive than phones. I think there's a real market for "regular&q

It won't be long before we long for the days where we had two or three keys: one for the door, one for the ignition, and one for the trunk. - Replacement is dirt cheap (talking pre-chipped keys here). - They require no batteries. - The
