As someone who lives in a city, I'm not sure what I'd do with a car that is smaller than a tank. If it's a small car then it's probably for local trips and super inconvenient to pa…

I think this person wants a space between Fizz and Buzz.

I really like the table of confusion as a way to look at this stuff. I find the terminology somewhat confusing and it's much easier for me to just look up the formulas. That means …

Assuming this is post-Obamacare, do you know why your insurance didn't cover it? I had this simplified model that insurance covers everything once you hit maximum out of pocket and…

You cam just ignore the Zone 2 advice as a relatively new runner. It's more useful when you're running high mileage.

Do you know what percentage of after tax income people paid fir this? I'm curious how other compares to today's services.

Is a 30 minute commute that bad? I feel like a lot of people mindlessly browse for 60 minutes a day at home. You could do that on your commute instead of at home and get housework …
