There are now a couple of smaller disc-by-mail startups who aim to serve that market. I've signed up with DVDInBox out of Florida and they've done a good job thus far. From what I've seen their biggest current challenge is th

Ashley has a fair amount of their furniture made in North Carolina. It's obviously not at the same quality level as something like a Stickley, but if you want US-made furniture from a mainstream brand, they're a good choice.

It's an interesting concept. Cheap. Doesn't take up a lot of space. Could be driven by a solar furnace. My concern is whether the cyclone particle separator will do a good enough job - gas turbine blades don't like being blas

It's simple, yet hard to execute well. Each sentence contains one piece of information to be imparted. The speed of speaking is slower - with emphasis on diction and pronunciation. There is a slight pause between sentences to allow the

Under 65ms is pretty darn good considering everything that's happening, the distances involved, and all the hops. That's good enough for most people's gaming needs.

I had to renew my vehicle registration this month. You usually have until the last day of the month to get it done. But this year the state of North Carolina said that was the 28th, not the 29th.

Why did the fintech fail? Was it poor market fit, failure to execute, or insufficient capital? Can you approach your previous customers and ask them what they want? Maybe you can collect some other previous employees and start a new firm in

This was the late 1930's so quite long ago. Pretty much every bank now has policies that would cause them to seriously object to a roof shingle being used as a check. So not illegal - just very unlikely to be accepted. Could you create

How well known you are to the bank matters. My grandfather was a builder and if he didn't have his checkbook on him, he would pay a subcontractor via a check written on whatever piece of scrap wood was around. The local bank had no pro
