A lot of Canadian “tourism” isn’t of the stay in a series of hotels for two weeks variety. It’s cross the border to attend a concert or sporting event. Grab a bite to eat and stock up at Walmart/Costco/<insert favorite store he

I was on a jury where data like this harvested from Facebook pushed us beyond a reasonable doubt. There was just enough doubt to acquit or have a hung jury with only the physical evidence and eye witnesses. There was plenty of doubt with on

You send the photo via mms. When there's that one great shot you really want to save, ask them to email it to you. This isn't nearly as hard as you make it out to be.

About 35% of the country supported what the National Guard did at Kent State. Deplorable is being far too kind to these people.

Yes. Even the solidly Blue or Red states tend to be 55-45 in elections. A few extreme states might be 60-40. It really is more of an urban-rural divide with the suburbs deciding which way the state leans overall.

Cool. Novelty domains for well established dot coms. Now go build a startup that you expect to build up and still own yourself 10 years from now using a .xyz domain. Good luck.

You have to weigh that against investing, even in just a HYSA, that 10 year outlay. Not a big deal if you only have a couple domains but it can add up quickly. This isn’t an 11% hike to the total cost of the domain it’s more like .2% on a t

I would guess most people over age 30 have at least one optical drive that can play a CD in their home today. Under 30, it gets rarer but any blu-ray player and many gaming consoles will still play that CD just fine.

It depends on the school and often aligns more closely with something like a fraternity. I have definitely known people who got their job through a frat brother’s recommendation or literally knowing the secret handshake.

Or Philosophy is usually a path to Law School on the professional path or a PhD on the research/academia path. In both cases, many/most of those 22-27 year olds are still in school and thus not counted as unemployed.

I imagine it works like the stolen art world. You can’t just put that lost Picasso on auction at Sotheby’s, but the right buyer will take that wallet off your hands and wash it.

The key is to have made the investment long ago. I never put money in crypto but I do own two large pipe wrenches from the mid 1990s.

While some can continue to work longer, most adults I’ve known simply can’t work, at least in their chosen field, much past 67. Physical pain and loss of mental acuity take their toll. Pushing the retirement age out to 70 might prevent the

This was certainly true of my Polish ancestors. My great grandfather arrived at age 19. He never really became fluent in English but could get by when he needed to. My grandfather spoke both Polish and English but only spoke English at home

I had a great grandparent live to 102. 3 of my 4 grandparents lived into their late 80s with the oldest passing a month shy of 90. Even my grandparent who smoked 2 packs of cigarettes a day lived to 78. For all of them, their last good year
