Actually, a lot of places constantly run "Zero Interest If Paid Off In 12 Months" deals all the time. Lowes, Furniture stores, and even some Credit cards. We've paid off Couches, A refrigerator, a new Sewer Drain, and severa

Yeah, that makes sense, and can totally empathize with them for that. I love independent women though, and love a career oriented woman, so I can't complain. I had just hoped it was going to be equal, she'd consider the situatio

Or even if you have money and are sexually unfulfilled. I'm pretty sure for myself, a libido mismatch was a contributing factor for some of our issues. We do fine, not in the 1%, but certainly in the 5-6% (household income ~140k in a

Facebook has had this for awhile (for chats, at least on web). I rather enjoy it and not really a Millennial, I was born in 77. I really prefer gifs to all these goofy icons and odd emoji (still use thumbs up etc, just not the poop and oth

A pretty short war? I don't see where China would be too worried about a small time dictator? Or was that your point and I missed it? It could be good for Africa for that to happen, have China step in and assume some order, rather t

I wonder how much climate is playing a factor in Vancouver's issues. Just from my perspective, I'd love to move to Vancouver, but would never, ever consider Montreal, not because it's not a beautiful city, but because of the

This strikes home, though I'm pretty much "only" upper normal (110-120 - several results in that range; never tested as a kid), but I had this fantasy from like 2nd grade until 5th or 6th grade. I probably annoyed my parents

I haven't dug into any specifics yet so it's probably harder than I imagine. It's actually been a dream of mine for some time anyway; not to get away from the US, just that I love Victoria and Vancouver and Vancouver Island .

I copied and pasted the link into a private window (Firefox) and it worked ok, just FYI for anybody that wants to read it like I did. Searching for title and clicking through Google didn't do it for me this time.

Truth be told, I had switched to tabs (4 space tabs), mostly because my JS linter complained about spaces and I didn't have very strong feelings about it (in hindsight, it's probably a simple config setting).

I think it's more of an appeal - visiting and colonizing Mars is more alluring than mining. I think there's benefit to having a base there though, even at the bottom of a gravity well (1/3 that of Earth so not the same kind

I'm personally convinced his long term, possibly unspoken, goal is mining asteroids. Getting a foothold on Mars seems like a logical, and necessary next step after SpaceX. He does have competition: https://en.wikipedia.org&

There's not a 100% correlation with low temps and being far north. The Seattle area is as far north as most of Minnesota, and our winters are nothing like theirs (record low here is 0F - Seatac 1950) and it's typically overcast a
