Is it the case though? The Netherlands _full_ state pension is 70% of the minimum wage, which ammount to something like 15K euros annualy. The Netherlands have a strong economy, but even there people have to rely on corporate pensions. For

And this detail - someone working 27 year for the company and only getting 20% of the full benefit - doesn't make these pensions really attractive. And in the article they even call it a "more generous types of pensions". I k

If we're going down this rabbit hole: Glancing at the phone screen (that you can bring in front of you) will take a second and is very similar to glancing at the navigation screen. Now try to pass a phone to a kid behind you in a chil

Siri is activated by side button. Passing a phone to the kids in the back probably more dangerous then glancing at the screen. Don't do it, please.

I am not sure why it is different from any other phone. Yes, unlocking the phone with fingerprint does not require taking your eyes off the road. But aren't your going to look at the screen of the unlocked phone anyway?

Yeah, it isn't perfect. Sometimes I see more variety on the shelves then was reported by the search results. But my primary use case is the store map. It is so easy to get lost in Lowes/Home Depot.

Even ICE cars use oversized grilles mostly as decoration. Look at the Ford Focus ( http://i.imgur.com/DEhSO19.jpg ), actual vents could be much smaller.

Probably most of it ended up in the hands of the record label that owns the YouTube account, and by the time they finished taking their cut the final $200 made it back to the song writer. But the video will have more 'creators'

I was just pointing out that the reference used by GP is specifically about new cars. Also, your second reference is also about new cars. I cannot believe anyone spending ~$1000/year on a maintenance of a 'new' car. First thr

Sorry, did not realize you have S85, which is still 1.5 seconds faster. Your claim that Model 3 will run like S have no grounds. All you can honesty do is to compare that Benz to your S85.

I agree with your point, and it makes perfect sense not to support a "tip-jar" option. I know there is an option to cancel subscription at any time, but it just doesn't feel right. I would prefer a limited time subscription,
