Nice rundown. Eyeroll at the bitcoin subject but, hey, what should I expect? The biggest thing I've learned about Alexa Skills developing them is that people will say things differently (shocker!). So, take time to think through your i

30-year-old Corollas still limp around just fine. They may not be pretty, but definitely functional.

This! I always get frustrated that you have to buy into an ecosystem to have cohesiveness. It's so stupid.

Isn't that gas $1 because it's heavily subsidized, though? > Most comparisons to electric vehicles are actually a comparison of a car that runs on gas vs a car that runs on coal, guess which one wins? Very true, but it depends

This is really the most exciting thing about electric-motor vehicles to me. With such fewer moving parts there's less to break down and go wrong. Having a vehicle that's more than likely able to last 25+ years without any real mai

Kansas City has seen a resurrection of their streetcar. And people love it. It's been operational for a year and a half and has only 16 stops at this point, but has already logged 3 million riders [1]. There's a major push to expa

I'm so glad Kansas City wasted all that time pandering [1] to them. I bet Sly really thought he'd make a dent. Absolutely not surprised though. Oh well, same old same old. Look at all the dots on the edges. [1] http://w

Good point. If it's a traumatic enough incident, the time off from whatever you're doing is surely going to make a difference in whatever your new obsession is. Thinking of disability, short-term disability, early retirement, etc.

Sad, but honestly I only made ~$3.50 over the course of 4 years by monetizing my videos. I suppose I was a waste of time to begin with (for them).

Slightly unrelated, but depending on where/what you moved into, upgrading toilets to efficient ones* also makes a big different, for relatively little coin. *I mean the efficient ones (a gallon of golf balls with 1 gallon of water mark

I've heard of different "kinds" of Lasik. Do you know which "kind" you had done? (That's a loaded question as I'm not even sure I'm asking the question correctly). Also, what did it correct? Did you w

As a landlord (I don't like that name, it kinda has a negative connotation) I can see first-hand in dealing with new potential properties the lack of care most landlords have towards their investments. They approach it as an entirely p

Depends on the style of home (Spanish, traditional, modern, etc). I see clay tile, slate, and asphalt mixed in the same neighborhood pretty frequently. Of course, the higher the home value the less likely it's going to have asphalt (or

If you're addicted to the phone, mine is obviously the wrong recommendation. If you're addicted to one specific service or industry of the phone, then perhaps it's a better solution.

We didn't breastfeed, so we're already outsiders. But eye contact? That seems like a very new problem. At that age, all of my children just end up falling asleep while eating most of the time. I feel like all those dirty looks fro
