Joe is frequently $15. Further, it's frequently 20% off at that point. But from a jeans perspective Gap jeans are $79, and the pair I'm wearing where $20. In January I paid $35 for two.

You'd be surprised. The cost of rubbish clothing has fallen, but then the cost of very reasonable mid-quality has dramatically fallen. I used to buy Levis, then Gap for mid range. Now, I get the same quality (and literally the same fac

Ultimately I prefer sharing my thoughts, opinions and information with people who are part of my life, as opposed to the internet as a whole.

I've been working from home a minimum of one day a week for 10 years, frequently 2 days a week - and for rare bursts of a month, the whole deal. The reality is that environment more than makes up for all of it. At home, I completely co

This has always been more of the dream of BTC than the reality. Transferring BTC around can cost 0.1 - 0.4% which becomes quite expensive. The cost of a wire transfer from Canada to the various countries I make them is a flat $36 - though r

This is exactly how I transfer money between the US and Canada. Outside of Corona, it's easy to minimize this impact by choosing either bank stocks or indexes, and always after 1045 EST when the market jitter is done ~90% of the time.

Correct. In fact based on demographic data locally (Canada), deaths from motor incidents have come down enough to offset Corona deaths. Ergo, it's cheaper to have a pandemic.

I sit down every single night and plan the upcoming day by making a simple list. I don't prioritize it, I just make it. This includes meetings. Then, first thing I do in the morning is update my list based on what (if anything) chan

It's hard to take anything China says as the truth. If there's anything we ought have learned over the decades of lies coming from Chinese Leadership (and generally state controlled messaging) is that at the very least, that'

This is exactly what I liked about consumer finance. The problems were absolutely fascinating, and when dealing with transactional data it was at a near real-time scale that you don't see anywhere else.

I've built more than one VPN network over the years - and I don't use the ones I built. My philosophy has always been that I can't trust the network after I no longer own it - and if the code isn't open. The hard reality

Nope - I don't any any of those needs (few in general actually). It's more that this possible decision point is gone. It's uplifting, at least for me.

I'm a hard believer in decision fatigue, and live my life accordingly. By doing so I've noticed that I've dramatically increased my quality of life - and quite frankly I no longer have "brain dead days". My favouri

I find the niche answer to this fascinating. With kosher restaurants (captive audience) in my city: 1. They increase their prices on skipthedishes and friends, in order to account for the price difference. 2. They add a piece of paper to EV

Beat me to it! Rolling options orders are the only way. Plus, depending on the spread in-month you can probably hedge your hedge, and buy a call on the other side.

Doesn't everyone just use reviewmeta ( https://reviewmeta.com/ ) now? They're pretty solid at what they do, the results appear to be rather accurate - and at the very least it's a decent filter.
