It is seen as extremely rude. If you are picking up the bill for a party or a date and don't tip, it will shine a very negative light on you. And whoever you are with will probably leave the tip behind in your stead. EDIT: If it was ob

I'm sure there is huge value to coaches. Pull up our list of plays for 4th and one in the redzone. That list then shows immediately what personnel are best for it and who of those personnel may be out of the game right now. QB just thr

only the last three things are covered by my property taxes. Everything else is handled by private companies who I pay separately (yes even roads where I live). Regardless, the property tax could be moved to an income or sales tax instead,

How much they have in a savings account? Who has a savings account? I have $5 in my savings account because my credit union makes me. It has around a 0.025% interest rate so I would be stupid to put any more money into it.

So much better than my generation. Where our shared cultural point is sitting in front of the TV Saturday mornings watching cartoons and eating sugar cereal. Now we binge watch on-demand TV as fat adults.

Handle six months of adventure together? Try eight years of monotony. I guess if you have the monetary means and nothing to tie you down to a monotonous lifestyle, this will be avoided. But for the standard 2 kids 9-5, good luck. Not saying

Is Philadelphia to Chicago short distance? It is the equivalent of Paris to Rome. We have a very robust infrastructure for cars already in place, and it is pretty dynamic. The infrastructure for trains would have to be built and is a lot mo

But you can also have to look at it as a percent of revenue. If their revenue growth is 100%, 200%, 500% then those losses are diminishing as a percentage of revenue. I actually didn't look up what their revenue growth was, I am just s

Do the cars have a "drive forward at all costs" programmed into them? The very reasonable and very logical assumption for the program to make is simply stop the vehicle, or reverse course until it finds a path it can take forward

So that is 150 in the company. Lets assume there were 100 companies like this, each one 10 times bigger than this smaller company. I'm guessing that is actually overstating the reality. That is 150,000 fake accounts. That would account

Some do this already, you get a full page ad with a 5 second timer. Usually there is a "continue to site" in the upper right hand corner as well.

What I miss most about the old point and click adventure games, that is sorely lacking in modern video games is the humor. Modern video games are so dark, and take themselves so seriously, it is just tiring.

Home Owner's Associations are just mini-governments. Why is a government consisting of a 4 block home owners association deciding to ban AirBNB okay, but it is not okay for a city government to do this?

Some people may be on mobile devices, but obviously it isn't the articles that is taking to long to load. It is the layers and layers of blocking JavaScript used for tracking and serving up ads that are taking forever to load.
