I've had this experience as well, but usually about 400 miles away from where I live. It's a shame.

Is it just me, or has every farmer's market I've ever been to been a terrible disappointment? The produce isn't as reliable as a good grocery store, and when it is, there's never enough of it. Sample size: New York (Broo

They usually ship you the item. You can pay extra to not receive it, which always struck me as odd...

You can't use freebsd-update if you have to recompile your kernel, which in turn makes it difficult to manage large fleets of servers without running your own freebsd-update server.

Thank god. I remember being so excited when 11.0 was released, until I found out that that NAT-ing on the VPN interface wasn't possible without recompiling the kernel.

Oh man, this takes me back. Who can forget the Martins Cole and Anus laptop saga of 2004-5? http://thescambaiter.com/forum/index.php?/topic/17878-anus-l...

It's more a comment on the perception that HBS grads are behind the curve due to their unwillingness to innovate on their own, but perfectly willingness to enter (and exhaust) a field with parasitic behavior once it has proven to be fr

There's a sort of semi-humorous rule on Wall Street: watch where the HBS grads are going, and short that industry. It turns out a lot of HBS grads were going to work structuring mortgage securities back in 2005-8. They're all goin

Are any of them in the US? If not, who cares?

It's also Citi saying this, so you can ignore pretty much anything and everything they say.

I know a very wealthy hedge fund manager who just moved to PR in order to minimize (read: eliminate) his Federal tax burden. Of course, as the current situation demonstrates, not being under the Federal taxation umbrella has certain disadva

There really is only one. The pretenders on the West Coast should really know better than to get into this fight by now.

Alas, no. The 2005 Grand Challenge was divided into two parts: the national qualification event, where you went around an obstacle course on a closed raceway in an effort to qualify for a limited number of race slots, and the real race, whi

I for sure would have remembered some rinky dink motorcycle lining up for the start in Primm in 2005. His team didn't make it past the NQE in LA, IIRC.

His theft (supposedly) amounts to nine figures. The last time something on this magnitude happened was during the financial crisis, and people were (rightly or not) braying for bankers to go to prison. Are you one of these people?

Giant sops for drivers, while the daily commute out of Penn Station is starting to resemble a third world country. Car culture needs to die in a nuclear fire.

I'm well aware: I live in Qatar. All I'm saying is that it is important to look at what the left hand is doing even while praising the actions of the right hand.

Qatar isn't exactly a friend to US interests in the middle east. Be careful of awarding them the title of "ally".

Is anyone keeping track of what damage will have to be undone when Trump finally leaves office and is replaced by someone more reasonable?

You're assuming that low level airline employees even realized they were rolling dice. They were told to save cash, and by golly, they saved that cash.

Today's cancellation is weather-related. But when you get bumped from the make-up flight tomorrow because of overcrowding, it's an operational issue. It's a multi-day play.

I dream of a world where bump compensation is unlimited. The same people who now churn miles to fly everywhere for free would then start strategically chasing storms to get bumped from flights and make tens of thousands of dollars in compen

The quickest solution to a crisis at the approval polls is a war in the Middle East. How many will die this time?

Student loan servicers are guaranteed repayment by statute. They are in a much easier business than mortgage lenders. That said, Navient is in the business of collecting on debts, and they have every right to do so within the bounds of the

Why is a student loan servicer any different from a mortgage servicer? I don't go to my mortgage servicer for leniency or charity; why should my student loan servicer be any different? If we want student loan servicer behavior to chang

Europe has a much stronger culture of respecting part time work than the US. I was surprised to hear that my parttime friends in Europe had benefits equivalent to their fulltime colleagues.

Women have expectations now (for the better imho) that simply weren't there 50 or 60 years ago. I know the career sacrifice that my wife would have to make to stay at home and raise our kids would shatter her sense of wellbeing, so I
