The difference in costs are several factors between rent & mortgage+taxes+insurance+maintenance+appliances. I have better places for moneys(some investment, some wasteful) and I get to move whenever I please... although, I have had to m

Do not forget maintenance, insurance & taxes that go along with that monthly nut. People used to always tell me I was throwing my money away on rent(until the "Great Recovery"), but I've never had to pony up thousands of

Cortez Bank? I heard it hits 100 ft on occasion and had been surfed. Coincidentally, a group of stand-up skiers rode it in '07 @ 80ft, if memory serves. I cannot find pix @ the moment, and sadly, I never saw/heard of any video tak

The most efficient way to forget is to not contemplate or revisit. Godwin's is just the result of copious retrospection on the dirty/dark side of human nature. Which is warranted in lesser extremes than genocide, as well, IMO. I d

And wait for the next shoe to drop. MS is going to want to get paid for this "service"(ads & metrics aren't enough, MORE is always the goal). Despite the cheers of the marketeers, this SaaS is not perpetually "free&q

Gotta 2nd NoScript for blocking all detritus from wasting my data caps & cpu cycles, although the default white-list needs much purging out of the box. For added goodness, I also run the Blender Add-On[1] for the sites I do allow on occ

Sadly, the store/department managers have no say in the matter. It's all laid out at corporate. Most managers inside the brick & mortar roll with it no matter how nonsensical some edicts are, some were/are bitter. They al

If a large article of debris hit prior and you entered the churning, bubbling water(and not hit the debris), you may get off with just broken toes, feet, hips...maybe. Of course, you'd likely drown before you could swim back to the sur

Geodesic domes are great, in theory. Once you live in one you may not subscribe to that theory anymore. The natural cooling only works(?) until you put objects such as people, partitions & furniture in it that disrupts the efficiency of

I hate to defend them, as I choose not to use their products, but all that is stated in plain language in the first two paragraphs of their EULA. Nobody reads them, but if they did, they would know at least Goog is clear, unlike pretty much

You should. You should also take it for what it is, infotainment. I find reading an extreme viewpoint can be very informative after the alternative extreme is considered and skeptical comparisons are made. Finding the biases becomes easier,
