It can be costly. I moved from Ireland to the US and kept my Irish number active - the cost was a €5 topup every 6 months. Going in reverse is much harder - a lot of the budget pho…

Poster said "rocky _previously_ poor outcrop". If you take a look at any of the economic indicators before the early 90s, you'll see a very different picture. There is absolutely n…

If you take copyrighted material and put it on a daycare mural, then you _intended_ to put copyrighted material on a daycare mural. It is not about intent to damage, it's just pure…

Congrats on the 17,000€ - happy to hear that this change puts that kind of money into "small" app developer's pockets.

These results seem selective and flawed to me. For one, the videos keep stopping and pointing out trees/greenery on the "desired" path, but ignore trees on the "fastest" path. Also…

Sorry to hear you're suffering through this experience. I can emperically recommend Moana (the pixar movie) for perfect familiar background noise - it was my go-to on red-eye fligh…

If it makes you feel any better, the $349 US price tag doesn't include sales tax, which adds on upwards of $25 depending on where you live.

It's so sad to hear about mom/mother/maternal so much in that article, and so little about the father's side of things. I want to believe that I can be an emotionally-nurturing inf…

At a large Seattle-based technology company ~10 years ago, the only way to submit an expense report was via fax "for security", but there were no fax machines in the office, only m…

This sounds like the lipstick effect [0] - consumers buy inexpensive luxuries when they're feeling cash-strapped. Tends to be a leading indicator of recessions (though I don't sugg…

+1 on recommending CurrencyFair - I've found that their fees tend to be lower than TransferWise and I've always had great service from them.

This doesn't explain why Norwegian are above to fly transatlantic for as low as $104 one-way (PVD-DUB on Feb 5th). I know that Providence airport likely charges lower fees, but it …

This is not true. For example, when I first moved to the US, I was unable to get a "real" credit card, much less a car or home loan. I was effectively required to get a secured cre…
