I think that is correct. While most people buy a house -- they budget to a payment. The last time we moved our realtor even tried to engage us in this direction. It is very similar to the way car dealers explicitly work -- "What do

Read that study carefully. It may not say what you think it says. The rate for whites is higher but only when counting from a stop already being initiated. Stops are initiated on minorities at tremendously higher rates. Comparing the tw

I would assume it is actual books read, during the winter when I read regularly in the evenings I average a little over 100 pages a day across time. That is a mixture of fiction and non fiction. That would be 9000 pages in a quarter. Back

I have young kids (3 of them ages 2-10) and our family uses iPhones and I don't want this. Guided Access does what I need it to do. Beyond that I don't want them on my device and my wife doesn't want them on hers. For an i
