I understand that perspective. And I agree that it would be nice if all sites offered the full-text content in the feed. But on the flip-side, I still use RSS feed readers (Feedly) daily and simply click through the content. The value of th

MOST seaplanes have piston engines that use 100LL AvGas, which is a gasoline with lead in it (the LL stands for "low lead" as opposed to "unleaded" in car gas). The lead keeps airplane engines, especially older ones from

Well my experience talking to all the local bike shops in my area is that they actually have less inventory to sell than previous years, compounded with the problem of increased demand. My local shop that is a Trek Dealer said last October

I had a friend that did this last year. He job hunted for about 3 months, then took a job at a company he thought he would enjoy for about 6-8 business days (1.5 weeks) and then got a job offer with another company that came through from hi

I think this is the main takeaway from the article. The whole time i read it I kept thinking, that this actually sounds like a good tradeoff for the average Robin Hood customer. The way that this is bad is if you are a high frequency trader

Just to add my own experience, I have a friend who had the Elgato Link and it died. He decided to give a $15 amazon one a try and he said it works "just as good" as the Elgato one. So I then bought my own $15 one (having never use

This has been my experience. I built a career for 10 years without a degree. I was fine during my entry level and mid-level positions. I was able to outperform people that had bachelors degrees and get jobs. But as I started applying for Hi

This is actually what my sister did. She got a WGU Bachelors Degree and then went on to get a Master's Degree from a more recognizable college. She shaved 3-4 years off her full masters program that way (if you consider the time spent

I went to WGU. I spent 6 months and got my degree. I really don't think it is possible to go any faster than about 3 months max. Even that is a slog and you will need to be going full time. Most of the exams are 70-100 questions and yo

I agree that this is a much better title. I actually also attended WGU during the pandemic and got a degree over the course of 6 months for about the same amount of money as the author. I came in with 42 transfer credits, so I completed 90

My concern with this is that it will likely take at a minimum 1-2 years for tire manufacturers to research new compounds that eliminate this chemical. Then it will take probably another year, at best, before manufacturing plants are transit
