The thing is Houston does have zoning, they just don't call it "zoning." https://urbanedge.blogs.rice.edu/2015/09/08/forget-what-youv...

Work is doing cupcakes! I can't participate because I will be at a funeral though. :(

What if you can't afford a plane ticket to attend a funeral? Should airlines give you one? Without overselling flights travel would cost more for everybody (at least in theory). Job interviews are readily rescheduled if you're b

Right, I think that the right thing to do was either pay to book the crew members with another airline (or private plane) or rent them a car. People have also said hiring a limo to transport that distance cost about a thousand, I don'

The vast majority of travel vouchers are never redeemed. It's like printing free money for them! http://www.seattletimes.com/life/travel/travel-wise-donrsquo... > >Redemption rates on vouchers hover som

Even if they do know it they don't care. Most drivers (as a generalization) have distain for pedestrians and expect them to get out of their way all the time because they are in an automobile, thus much more important. I've been c

I think a huge reason would be a connecting flight being cancelled or delayed too. Maybe the majority reason. I've been booked so tight before that even a 15 minute delay or a gate change to another part of an airport would make me mis

The United flight wasn't even overbooked either, all paying passengers had a seat. They booted paying passengers for crew members. IMO the correct thing to do is do everything they can do to find alternative arrangements for crew membe

I really can't understand this comment. I have a friend whose dream it is to go to Japan but can't afford the cost. Should airlines lower the cost flights just so her and her family can afford to buy tickets? Anyways, the bumping

How can you speak so authoritatively about the private habits of your coworkers? Unless they are subjected to random unannounced drug tests (uncommon outside of the military and safety critical industries) or come into work obviously high y

Why would they hide sale prices like that? since it's public information.

Yeah, that's certainly weird. My work has websense and I've seen it before that it silently doesn't load some content on a page when that content was loaded from another domain (which was blocked) which can be confusing, whic

Do you plan on taking out another mortgage once yours is paid off? Would you take out a mortgage on a home you own free and clear? Do you buy stocks on margin? Do you take out personal loans to put in the stock market? Do you have a home eq

Once again, paying off your mortgage is 100% guaranteed returns , investing in the stock market not only is not guaranteed to be over 4%, you can lose a significant amount of money. Need I remind you that the S&P 500 dropped around

No need to hire an accountant, the IRS treats Bitcoin as property, so it would be capital gains tax at sale, not income. There's very good reasons to pay off the mortgage, it certainly is not "nearly always a bad idea." If yo
