I never said it would be easy, but I don't think it's impossible.

I'm probably going to catch some flak, but I see some optimizations she can make. - McDonald's offers college tuition reimbursement, when you're low income this is one of the best ROI you have available to you. - McDonald&#x2

Isn't that one of the cleanest options available that can actually meet our energy demands?

I use it and it works fairly well. I wish they wouldn't allow on actual stores and spammers. I recently graduated and moved to a larger city than my college town and I've found that Craigslist is actually worse in the larger city.

I know that, but what I'm saying is that you lose a degree of privacy going through Mozilla.

So what is the benefit of getting this through Firefox instead of Mullvad? They want my email to sign up for the waitlist, but Mullvad requires nothing. Seems like it may even be linked to your Firefox account.

Can't you avoid this issue by buying products that are shipped and sold by Amazon in the same way you buy directly from Target and Walmart? I wish Costco would up their online presence. I always feel safe buying from them.

Yep - he's very generous. Many people just seek to vilify someone for having wealth.

Warren Buffett recommends that the best way for the average person to build wealth is to invest in an S&P 500 index fund. Read some John Bogle and you'll get a good grasp on index investing and you'll learn that "time in

Are you really implying that Charlie Munger hasn't bettered humanity? He has given money generously and created wealth for countless people. It's not lacking empathy. At the end of the day the only thing you can remain control of

One of my favorite Charlie Munger speeches seems relevant [1]. > I have a friend who carried a big stack of linen cards about this thick, and when somebody would make a comment that reflected self-pity, he would take out one of the cards

That is speculation based off the wording they used in the description. He reached this conclusion because it said RAM/SSD were "not user accessible" and they used to say "built into the computer" - no one really kn

Check out Reelgood [1]. It aggregates all of the streaming services and allows you to filter on genre, IMDB, and Rotten Tomatoes. I don't have to waste time looking through a bunch of junk to find something worth watching anymore. [1]

So much outrage for a product where many better alternatives exist. I don't for a second believe that the Apple Card has sexism built into it.

My understanding is that completely de-googling the phone is somewhat hard because of Google Play Services being a prerequisite for many services. I understand that you can get by without it, but many people find that somewhat of a burden.

I currently use a Galaxy S8+ and it still works perfectly fine. However, it isn't compatible with LineageOS. I know that the next phone I purchase LineageOS compatibility will be a prerequisite.

This is how I feel. A major point that is missed is that Walmart has brought many more products to a small market that otherwise would not have been there. You can cry that Walmart killed the town square, but when pushes comes to shoves con

I don't really buy using legislation. Alternatives exist and people don't seem to care to use them. That's the market at work.

I think the enlightening thing is that higher costs have been driven by government funded programs. I have to pay taxes for Medicare directly and there is a hidden tax in the form of higher healthcare costs in the private market.

It's not that uncommon in white collar jobs though. I have a few friends that work in engineering, banking, and sales that rely mostly on an annual bonus. It makes up 50% or more of their total take home pay.

It's very similar to a tip. It's incentive based pay for doing your job well. It does come from the customer, but it goes through a middleman (your employer) first.
