    I spent one month in Patagonia this year. My Patagonia gear held up extremely well while trekking, climbing a mountain, and sleeping in tents and cars.

    You’re going to be matched with the person you married. Tinder is a little thing that that’s not even a flame... much more casual. Less commitment. More swipes.

    I'm on an airplane twice a week. It would be awesome to have this and watch movies on it. A personal isolation device.

    I think it's going to get as much adoption as the Playstation Move controllers or Microsoft Kinect.

    Gillette actually does have a shave club although it is quite a bit more expensive. It's called Gillette Shave club... https://www.gilletteshaveclub.com/

    I've had a 401k for 6 years and I've never once used customer service. Also the older you are and the more you've worked the higher your account balance becomes. So once you have p…

    I think AMEX makes about 65% of its revenue on interchange fees?

    At a 2% processing fee if you spend 40k a year that's already $800 in revenue for the issuing bank. I don't think that's trivial for a single person.

    I'm sure it's gone up, but I think it's still pretty decent. Drinks/food are pretty reasonable. You don't need to live downtown since it's pretty car centric out there. Chapel Hill…

    Lots of my friends are moving to the Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill in North Carolina. They seem to like it a lot. I visit the area about 3-4 times a year and love it.

    You can do magnet programs there though. I went to school in Tampa. In general the public schools were awesome, but the magnet programs were absolutely incredible.

    I still think they make enough cash on me through the credit card processing fees to make me a profitable customer.

    You can say the same thing about almost any other kind of comparison that's not strictly numeric. Fact of the matter is, people make comparisons and they're valid for many reasons.…

    It's still much cheaper than having a Lawyer just look over the forms for you.

    I used my the legal plan through my work to get a lawyer to apply for citizenship (document review, walk through the process). She was awful, gave me outdated forms, was condescend…

    You're wrong. The salad is a mixture of kale, romaine lettuce, and other ingredients. Looks like you haven't looked at the ingredient labels. Southwest Grilled Chicken Salad: Ingre…

    I very much disagree with this article. I was able to take some courses in Eastern thought, but I think the major problem of this article is how the authors define philosophy. It s…
