Delightful program, another oldie but a goodie is the 'melt' app which melts down all of the ui elements on your screen. I remember, back in the day, setting my display variable to that of my colleagues and surreptitously running

Consistent with the general decline in quality from the big 3. Check Scotty Kilmer out on youtube. He's not always right, but he is on this.

It is illegal. I'd try it but the last half-dozen flights I was on, we were lucky to get 4-oz bottles of water.

Sure, it goes well with one of the worst rail systems in the world and some of the worst roads in the third world. Seriously, why is it Washington has such trouble investing in infrastructure. Even with the trillion$ under the current prop

Yes, the whole drop-shipping scam that get-rich-quick types were pushing on instagram had to do with buying merchandise at market price then marking it up for sale on Amazon. Amazon seems to be using many more third-part merchants and prici

All points you make are very true. In addition, aluminum tends to crack as it ages and you'll find aluminum wiring is usually a culprit in electrical fires. In the world of mobile electronics, it's usually looked down upon as the

Your anecdote reminds me of my experience in Salt Lake City. When I lived and worked in SLC back during the mid and late 90s, light rail was being proposed, especially with 2002 Olympic Games bearing down. Politicians proposed a simple nort

This hits the proverbial nail right on the head. In many towns and cities (of various sizes) across the US, pro-growth agendas are enriching a handful at the expense of residents. Take Metro NY for example, where the latest development craz

Very good point. Even today, MSFT has such control over the hardware world, if you want to run Windows 7 on a Z490 mainboard, you're SOL. The latest mainboards force you to run the latest Windows 10. Fortunately, they all run your favo

The 'ACA' is not one plan and it certainly does not require health insurance carriers to pay for 'ALL' healthcare expenses after you reach your deductible. Coverage varies by state and by level (ie., gold or platinum). M

I too am a fiscal conservative and see the merits behind a comprehensive single-payer health care system. Realize the American people are being told that 'socialized' medicine will eliminate choices such as choice of doctor and&#x

Actually, hospitals do publish prices. Well they do and they don't. As in, good luck finding that price list. The Feds require them to do that so hospitalizations can be indexed for medicare.

Health insurance in the United States' for-profit healthcare complex is a nightmare. Besides the fact the premiums are onerous, it is the health insurance carriers that evaluate if and how much insurance will cover an expenditure, usua

Does look like fun, but let's face it, 50 nautical miles is nothing on the water. I guess if you're on a lake the just under 60 mile range is enough to water ski but it's definitely not suited to deep water. And all carbon fi

I started working from home around 2006. My torturous commute was around 4 hours, assuming the train was on time, so working from home was a godsend. Also my kids were young and with my commute, time with them and time for fitness activitie

Yes, and after sybperl, DBD::Sybase/DBI became all the rage in the late 90s. The IBM patent is obsceleted at this point, though I still try to see how many lines of code I need to do same thing with perl/sybperl/dbi on other

Studies have shown it takes about 3 years of constant trading to develop a sense or intuition about markets.

The idea of buying deep OTM options is that they are 1. cheap 2. still have the possibility of turning green prior to expiry.

Short term capital gains rates have been 15%, right? Which is, based on my last gander at the tax charts, less than the regular w2 tax rate bracket many successful traders would file under.

Costs? as in commissions? I haven't paid a commission in two years. Many brokers are now commission-free.

As a day trader, you are always one trade away from losing it all.Even if you're diversified, one major loss can be devastating.

With slackening demand for many products that might be considered more discretionary, we're going to see a unprecedented move by producers to maintain price pressure. Additionally, we presently have over 30 million people who are out o

Wait, this merchant sells $1MM/month and his business has no LOC (line of credit)? No lawyers? Something's not right here.

Oh we're going to hear about lots of bad things due to Covid-19. It's the internet crash and Great Recession rolled into one.

No! As long as demand stays where it is (clearly, it may not), hold the line. My experience during 2000-2002 (the internet collapse) and 2008, it really depends on the niche. Much has changed and I fully expect big business to take advantag
