String setters are on the way. They’re far cheaper to buy and run. Bowlers hate the idea, but bowlers hated synthetic lane surfaces, urethane lane surfaces, and even lacquer surfaces before that. They also loved their old urethane balls,

This may be localized. I live in a LCOL area, my oldest son is 27. He and his wife have modest salaries ( teacher and clerical ), own 2 newish cars and a midsized house. They eat out a lot, subscribe to streaming services, etc. They’ve g

There’s a great ( and true ) story about the song “So Long, Frank Lloyd Wright”. Art Garfunkel had studied architecture, and asked Paul Simon to write a song about Wright. Paul Simon didn’t know anything about Wright, so instead he made th

My favorite gadget watch is my Soundbrenner, with powerful vibrating metronome. I don’t actually use it for practice much ( I use a phone metronome for that ), but if I’m going to be idle for a while I’ll dial up a nice brisk tempo. Just

It was chilling how government and courts squashed musical piracy by making very public examples of a few violators. Here’s an example, a Minnesota woman who was fined $1.9 million dollars for 24 downloaded songs. I’d suspect lobbying from

Retired Red Hatter here. When IBM bought Red Hat in the late twenty teens, they offered us a 10% discount on the stock as an ESPP. At the going price, the stock already had a 5% dividend. It seemed like a great deal. Our internal mailing

Reminder: Jack Bogle, the man who popularized the index fund, democratized wealth accumulation, and made more millionaires than anyone in history, has a famous saying for those pondering this situation. “Nobody knows nothing.”

I lived for a while in Tucson, Arizona. Days could be brutally hot ( easily over 100 F ), but there was little humidity. My transportation was a motorcycle ( with additional heat radiating off the engine ), so mid often feel a little uncom

I read a very interesting AMA from an Indian woman that had lived in India, Canada and the US. Takeaway: Canada is great cost wise, but poor in wait times. India offers a smorgasbord— you can pay very little, or you can pay more for better

Anecdotally speaking, I don’t see this happening. My oldest son is a teacher, married to a clerical worker. Both salaries are modest. They have a nice house, two reliable cars, and eat out several times a week. They are living better than

Have you seen the picture of Alex Pretti kicking the taillights out of a moving vehicle carrying federal agents? The guy was not stable. Who knows what he might have done with that gun? Protesting is one thing. Going looking for trouble
