Typically, all single payer medical cost schemes are based on government facilities and intervention. Many Americans have little faith in their government to do anything, much less…

I almost pulled the trigger on a Prologue; so glad I had second thoughts. Even though it was essentially a GM product, I've only ever owned Hondas, so I thought "Well, at least I c…

Joanns died b/c of two things - they stocked items no one really wanted, and they doubled down on that by opening way too many stores. With a focus on fabric and yarn, they would s…

I think that was the previous posters point - any teaching on a moral issue will ultimately have overlap with real world issues. A homily about gambling would be right in line with…

Or more likely, the safety measures were bypassed because they were a PITA. You can put all of safety measures you want on equipment, but humans have this insane mindset of faster …

The subsides were during Clinton and Bush 2. BMW and Mercedes were here long before Biden and Obama. It makes good sense to manufacture your product in the area it is sold - that's…

You see a lot of this in US Korean places (at least outside of Atlanta). The robots are a novel touch.

The NYT has obviously not been to Atlanta, especially in Duluth, where is the heart and soul of Korean food expansion - so much so Google Maps lists it as Koreatown. This is a worl…

As was the administrations of Clinton and Obama. The real issue is they (whomever is currently in power) can do these things, and there's nothing we can do to stop it from happenin…

Really love your work. Used to work for a microwave components (passive and active + measurement) house back in the 70s and 80s, and still miss it.

The larger question is why is the US Government giving Columbia $400M when their endowment is $14.8 billion with a 11%+ RoR? That's 1.6 billion/year. https://endowment.giving.colum…

2005 Honda Element w/AWD. Carry anything with ease.

Not sure why this is news - it happens every time a big one comes across the state. When Michael hit, we didn't have gas for a week.

It's more about tricking HE machines. Instead of the Smart Water setting, use the large. Always use the Deep Fill setting (if the machine has one). Always use the double rinse - ge…

Exactly why I use multiple financial facilities and keep a good amount of cash on-hand.

I wonder where he would have ranked George Hamilton's portrayal in Love at First Bite or Lauren Hutton in Once Bitten?

But for decades, the US economy has sold SFH as just that. Every time I go to the bank, I get solicited by a bank employee to take out a HELOC.

Others, though, see increased higher density housing as more traffic, increased crowding in existing schools, and lowering property values. At least in the US, higher density housi…

In exurban Atlanta, my home has been broken into 3 times in the past 4 years. I was home for the last one; I was alerted by my Ring doorbell and the crook never got past the front …

As if earthquakes, wildfires, and mudslides are something people look forward to.

But property taxes are local. Raising them only supplies more revenue to the local area. For the US, also, one needs to take into account many states have limits on property tax ra…

Unless, of course, you live in an HOA which requires you to not leave your clippings on the lawn. If only there was a place round here where there wasn't an HOA!
