Yes, with a minimal investment in a good brush and Merkur razor + blades a couple years ago, I've already saved by going the double-edged way plus the shave is way better. Only real problem is that I still haven't figured out how

The leadership was able to increase their compensation 42% over the course of a year last year so, if that's what their focus is for this year, then maybe they are by cutting these folks, reducing costs, etc for whatever metrics get th

mpdehaan2 didn't use the word passion but caring too much. I've found myself in a similar situation. I didn't care about the company or work at all but, within the realm of job, I still wanted to excel at it. When you're

10 - 12 hours a day is pretty typical in the entertainment business. Most tv shows do 12s for an entire year, movies about the same for less, and VFX workers during crunch time (which is near permanent for some) 12 is usually the minimum. P

Just a guess but the majority of companies in the US still depend on people showing up. Our work culture doesn't change that much (and has gotten worse in terms of some things [pensions, benefits, etc.]) even if it would make far more

I grew up in a not-so-blue area in NC but of the people I knew from school that have gone onto success it's been more through parents retiring and passing down solid local businesses. Most of those who have gone onto 'bigger'

I've heard the same. There's an opposing group to that: writers. Read any interview with a novelist, screenwriter, short story writer, etc and most will say it's something they hated doing but were glad to get done. Pushed fu

The past thousand years of history in Europe and constant internecine warfare beg to differ.

Maybe more this than blame the victim. Could also blame the paperwork and complications we like to create for ourselves so some middleman, middle-company, or politician get their piece.

I had only heard about the studies but never took time to read the blog posts. I think I've spent the better part of the past two hours on there. Great stuff and always interesting to see people doing experiments like this (and making

>Correct, some of my best results were from just talking to people about finding a place, knocking on doors, etc. That's the benefit of doing the hostel thing and talking with people that have been where you're going. Some will

Curious: why choose to pay instead of using a free service like couchsurfing.org?

Wasn't aware of this but not surprised. My original comment was going to be to the part of "taking them out of craigslist" since people trying to use craigslist have to sift through their ads clogging up stuff.

She didn't mention it, but nothing is really 'free' about this. With court costs, lawyers, time spent doing community service, and other miscellaneous stuff I wonder how much it cost her total. Not to mention a year or so of

It's also up to the police whether to take it any further. Once they arrive, and hopefully the owner arrives, explain yourself (you were acting in good faith, etc.) and try and make sure the police don't go overboard.

For a historical view of PTSD and warfare, I recommend Lt. Dave Grossman's "On Killing". I don't agree with his conclusions about video games and violence, but the picture he draws of how soldiers used to demobilize, and

I don't find it so odd. If you read more than a few interviews with professional writers of literature, you'll see them mention how they don't read much fiction but a lot of non-fiction.

Some people believe anything from a government agency is wrong and that there aren't smart, capable people doing their jobs on the other end. Of all the things with air travel to pitch a hissy fit over, this one has always comes across

You're not alone. I don't quite understand the war against anonymity on the internet. Seeing someone's real name and photo next to a comment doesn't make what they say or do on the net any more civil.

Not only YouTube but everything Google is trying to integrate with G+. When showing a colleague a photo from a trip or looking at a review of something, I don't need to be shown as being available for a "hangout". I'm no

The HSR is a boondoggle in its current state because of politics and land value in this state. Hyperloop will run into similar problems w/ NIMBYs, local governments, etc. Whereas Hyperloop can transport only 7.4 million people a year,

Ski bum and surfer bum is a decision. Living on the margins of what used to be a middle class isn't. For the vast majority of people in the US, they're working longer hours for less pay, and, as the article says, less vacation. Th

I used to have a dumbphone from '06 until it crapped out and I went to an Android one. Everyone always made fun of me for having the older phone but then again everyone was always trying to be quick-draw on fact-checking some random bi
