Even better than making sense of it, but just give the AI all of the parameters that you want to build or remodel a house and have it give you a 90% complete model that an architect/designer can finish off, reducing overall cost and ti

Seems normal. What are your precious vehicles? My wife’s C250 cost 10K to fix a relatively minor bumper collision.

I disagree. I have been waiting 3 months for parts, in the mean time my sensors collision don’t work and I have constant annoying dash messages saying my sensors don’t work.

Hate to break it to you but you will be waiting months to get it fixed. I’ve been waiting on parts for about 3 months to get mine fixed for relatively minor damage. got rear ended by a pickup truck.

Cardio: alternate total gym rower & run (also jump rope sometimes) Strength: TRX & body weight exercises Works well for me, but I’m not super into strength training at this time. If I was would prefer a gym membership. Honestly you

In my opinion, if you can put in the time, I would just suck it up and go get the degree. You are still relatively young, so if you can get a degree at 35-40ish, that's still 25+ working years. Anything beyond Bachelor's is probab

Yes I agree with this. In fact, having already done this math myself I am basically maxed out in house loans, i even took a cash out loan on my rental and dumped it into the stock market… I have already made an absolute killing doing this.

I would start with bogleheads. I also always recommend people start with bogleheads and learning about 3 fund investing. However I feel they are slightly too conservative especially if you are young. If you are following their bond advise r

Except that it’s not really “gaining ground”, all things considered Rust is not that popular.

Agree. I went from an early 2011 15" MBP fully decked out with SSD, 16G mem, matte screen (which I loved.. but spilled beer on) to the 13" mbp touch and love everything about it.

I think the complaint here (if I understand you correctly) is that you are giving a vacation day and then making a certain day mandatory to use it. This practice is common among companies and extremely infuriating and in my opinion should b

1) I don't believe this is possible on a joint return 2) If indeed it is possible, what's stopping you from filing as "married filing separately"?

According to the book traffic, your dad is right. But the effeciency only works if everybody waits. After reading Traffic, I always merge at the last minute (and I have never had to "slam the brakes" from this behavior)

McDonalds quality control is second to none. Their standard menu tastes practically the same everywhere in the world. It's the same with Starbucks. I know that no matter what part of the planet I am at, I can get exactly what I expect to ge

"There's absolutely no risk and it's completely free to get started." IMO, That sentence is too verbose, especially with the title above it. Since 'Risk' is in the title, I would change it to: "(It's free!)"

Janus is amazing. I replaced all of the hassle of maintaining a bunch of plugins and vimrc with Janus and a few lines in ~/.vimrc.local and ~/.janus.rake With Janus, you can easily remove things you dont want and add plugins you need.

I know #1 looks completely insane, but I have been studying Chinese for about 2 years, and I just started writing 3 or 4 months ago, and the breakdown of it is actually fairly simple. There's actually a somewhat limited set of characters th

Absolutely agree with this post. I didn't grow up with a lot of money, and was raised on the 'If it's available Wal-Mart, buy it at Wal-Mart' mentality. Looking back on this, I wasted so much money on crap that just got replaced. Now, I spa

It's really too bad there is not a matte option for it. I agonized over the MBA vs MBP decision for about a year, and finally got the High-End 15" 2011 MBP model with the matte screen upgrade. Couldn't be happier. Yeah, it's a big hulking b

Yeah, the battery life thing is a real killer. My work computer is a sony vaio running linux. I like it well enough but it only gets 2.5 hours on a new battery! It's far and away the biggest drawback of this computer.

While this graph is indeed accurate for a static income, for many people the income will increase over the years (on top of the inflation) which will cause difference to be a little less dramatic. Regardless, save as much as you can as earl

In my opinion, the most important word in this post is 'phrase'. I'm learning Chinese and the only way to translate English to Chinese is complete phrases / sentences. You can probably cheat much easier if your languages are more similar, b

1 -- It's perfect for casual play. I have a long commute that involves a subway, a high speed train, and a taxi. I can play it for 1 minute, 5 minutes, 10 minutes. As a counterexample, another favorite game of mine is 'Tilt To Live', but

I am a 30 year old American, lived in America all my live, but have been in Taiwan for 9 months and I absolutely love it. There's not much of a 'lower middle' class, but there's a sizable 'upper middle' class. If you can get there, you can

even better (if you are using bash, not sure about other shells) and use shopt -s histverify then if you type !$<enter> will replace !$ with /somedir but not hit return, so you could then modify it. Then you could do... mv somefile

straight gin? gin+tonic is somewhat drinkable, gin straight up is the worst drink I can think of. To each his own, I suppose :)

Agree on the last point -- at least, for Taiwan. In fact, those idealized graphs caused me a bit of a headache early on. Native mandarin speakers in Taiwan tend to drop the end of the 3rd tone, so it falls slowly then holds at the bottom fo
