In case of divorce that “rainy fund” will be split 50:50 so it is not really her money - at least not from the point of view of law. I guess this is tricky situation and marriage counseling might help here. They say that finances are the ma

I was really under impression that Thomas Currian will make Google cloud a little more reliable. Less cool (even worse tech ) but more reliable: good documentation, reliable servers, good management console, and good support (think Rackspac

And teachers here in San Francisco refused to teach for one full year. I do not blame them: it is really a crappy job. And as result of that only very bad are still teaching: the ones that hate the job, hate the kids and, in general, not ni

I think this is a valid invoice created in PayPal. I assume you can do the same with Stripe, Quickbooks, etc.

Invoice scam is old. My company is getting dozen of mail with “overdue” invoices from some random corporations for services like elevator inspection, heating checks, etc. Of course, they also have some strange phone number to call (which h

Good post. Yes - we only know how to measure one type of smartness which does not collerate with happiness at all. Maybe some people are happier when they are in relationships? Others when they are alone. Some when they have a dog. Then som

I think putting this story as an argument for abortion and arguing that this is not “universally crime” is hurting “pro-choice” movement since this type of abortion will not be legal even in California. Let’s focus on real problem: this poo

Yes - but let’s not use this instance as “abortion” story. This story can also be used by anti-abortion people to show how abortion is about killing babies. In short, if you ask any nurse or doctor they will tell you that rules are to try t

Later? Pope Gregory I declared baths should be only used to cure the sick. Of couse, we read his words different today (like he allowed it) but bathing was considered sinful. There was a belief that bathing invited demonic possession and th

But Nordic countries become Christian just in 12th century. And it took considerably longer for actual Christian beliefs to establish themselves among the people in these regions. So all these “don’t bath” nonsense promoted by pope was igno

Here are some contra points: - Aztecs were burning incense around the conquistadors to hide their unpleasant body odor (documented) - The Christian Church actually said bathing naked was forbidden - the pope instructed all public bath to be

Yesterday, I was talking with one guy doing home inspections. He also refuses to accept CC. The main reason is that after deal does not go thru the people who hire them will file a chargeback.
