    Wifey and I were laughing about this... she got the new MBP and it has HDMI ports and everything. Even a memory card reader. It's a laptop, so you expect limitations... but nonetheless the desktop computer has fewer ports now. I think it's an experiment to see how much they can confuse the customer.

    We used to have a word for this... "sails" was it?

    If I recall it was published on its own first, in a magazine or something. Has always been one of my favorites since reading it. Surely it's made it into a Vonnegut collection by now. Come to think of it, that would be a good candidate for one of those classic heirloom books.

    Clearly it is time to once again read the best short story ever written by a one-time Saab salesman: Harrison Bergeron

    How did we never realize that was the problem? What if... what if... iiiiffff... we ONLY gave people "A"s in school?! Then everyone could be the valedictorian! :party: Weee! The apocalypse is AMAZING!

    I'm bidding on a real estate auction this Thursday. I've bid on a few in the past but never won one. Kind of fun doing all the research on a relatively short timeline. Also, the rules if you win are preposterous. You have less than 24 hours to show up with a cashiers check for the entire...

    LOL... next comes the winter home in Florida. Though Arizona works too and is closer. If you get melancholy just remember to go get some sun ;)

    $75,000 in employment income. Probably more than that now with inflation, but the unspoken truth of that was always "you don't have time to enjoy it" with only 2-3 weeks of vacation. So at a certain point, it's more effective to give people free time, or paid time off, than a raise. Even if it...

    Yes... I remember one of the couple's business ideas was the knife sharpening service :rofl:

    In point of fact, my marriage is partly based on this concept. Still going after 19 years, and I've only been stabbed or maimed a handful of times.

    Jeff Trotman's Knife Sharpening Business...

    IDEA 
    This is hilarious. They turned it into an auction. Also, the fact that it's a knife sharpening business is icing on the cake. lol

    This is fantastic. I just put a hit on Attila the Hun, 5th century warlord and emporer. Hope I'm not arrested.

    What do you think about a vegan shoes brand for Men

    Eco friendly, sustainable, made by people who aren't slaves, all of these things appeal to me. "Vegan" sounds off for shoes though. I even like vegan food and have vegan friends (although I am not myself vegan), but when I hear "vegan shoes" I inevitably think "where do your shoes get the...

    How Do I Double my Prices on a Current Client Without Losing Them?

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    It's hard to say what works, and with whom. I do some work now that I bill hourly. The folks I bill know that I don't really need the work, and that may have a leverage effect. I ended up changing my rate for new projects (law cases) to 2.25x the old rate. There were no complaints. For cases I...

    Is this warehouse F*cking me? It smells like complete bullshit...

    PEOPLE 
    $7840 sounds like anchoring to get you to feel relieved and grateful that they're cutting the fee almost in half. I like @MJ DeMarco 's idea of videoing the packing process... if you can pack a unit in 1 minute, why should it take a trained warehouse worker 11 minutes? Or whatever it is... but...

    All the people who now have no representation... because part of the legislature just "voted" to outlaw the opposition party in the legislature. That's one country that has cleared the checklist... the list you make to identify the end of fair governance and rule of law.
