    This guy is wrong, which is why he isn't citing any legal authority. As anyone who has gone to law school will tell you, you can only acquire the title that the seller has. If sell…

    Coming from an American perspective (where, when you are in public, you have basically no expectation of privacy), this seems insane. Does this mean that if I'm filming a vlog at B…

    If people do not "make" money (i.e. create value), how do you explain the increase in the standard of living over the last 100 years?

    None of the celebrity endorsers committed fraud. You didn't answer the question.

    How do you view public companies that have never paid a dividend and never intend to do so?

    If a lender is facing bankruptcy, how are they going to fund the infrastructure necessary to negotiate with tens of thousands of borrowers? If a lender is not yet on the brink of b…

    I genuinely can't tell if this is satire or not. Assuming it's not, unless your "own research" consists of actually buying a wide swath of competing products and testing them again…

    You don't need to tell your CC to pay some entity on a set schedule. I don't think my initial post was clear enough. Credit cards are paid in arrears, usually with a 15 day grace p…

    I've never seen a credit card that did not allow you to schedule your payments. If you auto-pay everything with credit cards, then by default you are scheduling your payments. Same…

    I have a brokerage account at Fidelity, which I can write checks on, but I only use the account for investing. I guess theoretically you could use it as a primary bank account? I h…

    Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but nearly every bank I've ever used offers this feature. I currently have auto-transfers and auto-investments set up in Fidelity. If you receive a payc…

    I agree. When I got my first pair roughly two years ago (after years of using various versions bluetooth earbuds you could buy on Amazon for $20) they seemed like magic. Take them …

    It sounds like you've discovered the secret to travel. You don't have to see all the sights or cram everything into each day. Usually you get more out of it if you take things slow…

    I think the "anti-vax" are drawing the opposite conclusion: Covid (for most people, and particularly for young people) is orders of magnitude less dangerous than measles, polio, di…

    The fact that you have to repeatedly and expressly clarify that you're not equating cancel culture with holocaust denial is apt given the topic at hand. No intellectually honest pe…

    This is not what pumaontheprowl said. You are right, simply presenting people with data doesn't work. If it did, you would never see a fat nurse, or a doctor who smokes, or... the …

    I would appreciate a simple "keep-distance-wrt-speed" function for bumper-to-bumper situations. This has been widespread for at least a decade. I'm not even aware of a mainstream a…

    To be fair, it still felt like magic. My car would drive me 20 miles without me really having to do anything, other than make sure it didn't kill me at an interchange. And I'm now …

    This is not how the three-strike law works. You don't get a life sentence for petty theft. Under Penal Code section 667(e), you can receive a life term if you are convicted of a se…

    I think all tourists are. In the last few weeks I've seen numerous offers for free nights and free meals if you'll come stay in Sardinia. According to the European Commission, tour…

    Interesting that there is no mention of hydrogen peroxide. About 10 years ago, there was a flurry of news that greying hair was a result of a buildup of hydrogen peroxide[1]. Many …
