The other question is could we just build him a wooden ramp for a lot less than 20k or would the city he lives in et all have a problem with that?

I have heard they are very bass heavy which is what most people like. They could not care less about nuance and realism in music. Bose speakers proved that.

It might just be that the next generation grows up knowing about this incredible range of renumeration that exists and has less personal self esteem caught up in that number. A grocery bagger knows his doctor neighbor makes more than him.

Yeah, I find that part interesting. Given Apple's secrecy would the board even have specific details for a new product?

You could also clip the connections at the motherboard but I am guessing most of them would be too lazy to bring in a new port to solder up.

There is already a fairly useful tool https://www.charitynavigator.org/ to ascertain the validity of a charity. You can also type in a keyword and attempt to filter by category to narrow down the options.

I find I had more social relationships in my early 20s before I had a long term girlfriend and we moved to a new area. It's only through conscious effort that we maintain friendships with a few other couples. It would be easy to be laz

They treat employees like crap and pay them as little as possible. Thus they get exactly what they pay for; sullen workers who do the bare minimum not to get fired.

It would be really interesting to compare this to private sector jobs (where applicable) taking into consideration pension, benefits, etc.

I rather disliked San Antonio. Not much culture. Not particularly well educated. Nothing to do but eat and drink. No one is athletic or particularly interesting. Go 2 miles away from the River Walk and you see just how poor the area is. Gr

The historical "best practice" max home loan ratio was 3x your gross income. However, that was at a time that interest rates were significantly higher. Therefore the amount you are paying now over the life of the loan is smaller a

I wonder about that too. The thing that seems to remain constant is your monthly payment which is of course influenced by the interest rate. So presumably a high interest rate would make a lot of home prices go down.

I got shouted down in a reddit thread for suggesting that getting cops to arrest people that were scavenging for recyclables was not the best use of their time and our tax dollars.

I'm not disagreeing with you re: the Tesla S is way out of reach of someone "only" making $100k. I was just pointing out that besides housing (especially owning) the cost of almost everything in CA is the same if you move som

Cost of living is always a factor. I live in the bay area. The salary of a programmer is usually 6 figures here. Granted it's almost impossible to buy a home but if you are frugal with your rent ( for instance getting roommates or livi

That's a fair point I suppose but I suppose it depends on the website. In general rules and regulations change at a pretty glacial pace. It would seem easy enough to place a disclaimer at the top of every page stating something to the

Right. Bosses in the government are not any more amused by these legislative shenanigans than we the people are. The more things that are broken, the louder people will complain and the quicker the bosses will get their funding back.
