I'm 26 and I've never worked more than 40-45 hours a week. Definitely depends on the job though. My girlfriend works about 50-60.

Same here. Better to go covert. I've shifted over the years to maintaining a few close friends, with which you can candidly exchange.

I guess based on averages, this can be true. For Raleigh, NC they list the rent ~$1100 and mortgage ~$1500. I have a 15yr fixed mortgage at 2.75% which I started with 20% down to avoid PMI. All-in (HOA, utilities, principle, interest, insur

It's better to live life in prison for not giving up a password, than to be convicted of whatever they might find. (Not all will agree with this mentality, and that's fine.)

This is fantastic, how did I not know about this before!

Just have to say, a half gram dab is a fat dab . I'm sure some people do vaporize all of that at once. However, even with complete inhalation and 'swishing' it in their lungs, they will be wasting a lot of it on the exhale.

To me this read like "avoiding taxation" == "refusing to realize significant proportions of one's gains". I don't see anything wrong with that. We all do it (if we aspire to financial independence).

How do they pay back those loans? I've never understood that part.

I think that's good and correct. The inheritor hasn't had any capital gain. Because the deceased never sold, they didn't either.

Hey I've used this at work! Love it. Pdfplumber is very useful too. Although these tools are only useful when the text in a PDF is "selectable". If someone scans a document to PDF, there may be no text in the file for these t

Working with these people in college was rather frustrating at times. I always did good work, started working on projects early and often. Because I knew programming a solution is sort of an unknown until you really dive in to it. Many stud

I'd be fine with paying a tax "on the gains that the rest of society generated for you" upon me selling that land to someone else. Just like capital gains on equities. I don't pay until I realize. I'm happy to pay s

This is why I've been buying equities as fast as I can since I started working. Only been a few years but I'm loving it so far.

Sounds like they were binging stimulants to get their work done. The brain needs regular sleep or you burn out hard. Nothing inherently wrong with drug use, but it must be done with compassion for your body.

Hopefully they all switch to vaping. I'm excited to see the black market solutions to this as well.

Reading this gave me flashbacks to high school. This is very sad but true. While I typically kept to myself and avoided their wrath, certain members of the administration were just horrible, and I could clearly see the mental toll it took o

I just hope all the people who "don't get the flu vaccine because they never get the flu" will actually start getting vaccinated. To those people, odds are you don't get the flu because enough people around you did get v

Some people seem dead-set on expecting failure, but I've always been optimistic that market forces will shift towards renewables and mass storage as their costs and efficacy improve. It feels amazing to be proven right. When you co

Guess I won't be reading much Reuters any more. Just the way she goes, if it doesn't load easily for me, I back out and move on to something else.

All I want is equality; either block both, or block neither. As a user, I can guarantee I hate all ads equally, but also put up with all equally, because I'm too cheap to pay.

I'm really happy to not own any Apple products. They cost too much while simultaneously limiting what I can do. I am happy they are popular, because I own stock in them. Other than that, they clearly have near zero patriotic morals.

It is? Yikes. If there's a paywall, I just end up reading the comments and never the article. Oh well.

There's a certain city in central NC that I generally avoid because of this aspect. Every time I've visited friends there, I was asked for money in a confrontational manner. Every time I've left my car, it seemed reasonable t

Wow, this is great to hear! I'm in North Carolina, and we have a beautiful (man-made) lake called Jordan Lake where the eagles can be frequently seen. I've been out on boats before and watched them grab fish out of the water. Then

Thanks for sharing this - it is fascinating to see the dogs working together with people. They are very efficient!
