If you've ever tried to get help you'll know that they just put you on whatever pill gives them the biggest kick back. When that doesn't work they put you on another, and another. I've been dealing with trying to get som

"Corporations no longer are loyal to employees". I very much agree with this. Which is why I have no loyalty to any company I've worked for.

Yeah they are usually taller and not quit as long but it's still the same concept. I'm guessing minivans should make a comeback in about 15 years.

There a few but elegantthemes.com is one that comes to mind. You pay yearly to access to a bunch of quality themes. They pay out 50% commissions (and on renewals too) to affiliates but they have 200k+ plus users. They have to bring in a cou

I used to do a few hundred a month from adsense on my tutorial site. Google penalties and lack of updates and now I only see a few dollars a month. My traffic went from ~70k uniques per month to 5-10k, so it's not that shocking that th

I'd imagine it's more about the stigma behind these dating sites. Fake profiles etc.

Is this all from a single theme? What percentage are you at? I've contemplated converting some of my custom WP themes to sell on ThemeForest but I didn't think it would be worth the time. edit: I often wonder if it would be worth

I drive a CTS (3.6l is slow in that heavy vehicle). I want a Model 3. I think I fit this stereotype. I drive 120+ miles round trip. If I could do that paying $.07kwh vs $3-$4 per gallon I would do it. Also I'd buy a Model S if I could

Technically all of these crossovers are just wagons but no one wants to admit it because wagons, like minivans, are no longer cool.

Tesla always advertises the after rebate price. Nothing makes me think they would change that now. You are right that it is possible the rebate won't be available when this launches. I also doubt they can hit 2017 but we will see I gue

Which battery option do you have. 135 miles out of what is supposed to be 200 mile range doesn't seem so great. I need at the very least 120mile guaranteed to make my commute.

Same thing. I find coconut water, even directly from the coconut, to be absolutely disgusting and almost vomit inducing.

They all appear to be following the same trend. It could just be that it's no longer the cool kid on the block. Plus the doc seems pretty good so many people go straight to it without google?

When they are paying someone $40 per hour and billing that person at $300 per hour there has to be a nice margin in there.

Hours don't really matter though. I have a 2 hour commute one way but it's only about 55 miles. That's about 38k miles commuting to work if I drive every day, which I don't. Getting to 150k in a year could be a challeng

I don't have any sources but for a lot of people this seems to decrease with age. I'm 28 and I can still sleep for 10-12 hours if I don't have any reason to get up, which is rare. However, I don't think my dad can actual

I lift most nights but by the time I get home from work and to the gym it's like 7pm. Workout for 1-2 hours and it's nine. Trying to come down from that before midnight doesn't work. Then it's up at 6ish again.

What are the alternatives? I still believe at a point we won't need very much human labor. So what do we do with all of those people that don't/can't work? Others have mentioned that the economy will just create new, eve

There is probably more interest in developing the technology and then licensing it. It seems like IBM doesn't want to be in the hardware market unless it's high margin.

In my experience with our last acquisition some of the best performers ended being cut just because they were in the wrong area. So if MS actually evaluates each employee I would be surprised. It usually just comes down to numbers. We need

I'm 28 so maybe it will change as I continue to age. I used to be able to sleep until 3pm if I really wanted too(assuming I had no alarm clock to wake me up to do something productive). Now I naturally wake up around 7am-9am no matter

Are you saying that we will continue to invent things to do in exchange for money? I feel like there has to be a point that you can't do that. I guess it would have been insane to think that people would be sitting in offices making co
