Well, you should be mortgaging the house rather than renting it, but as for the rest... you should buy things that appreciate in value (like the house, modulo the last decade), rent things that depreciate.
+1 Insightful, if I could. And I'm not even sure it's increased my spending on music, since I haven't bought a CD in months. I was probably spending at least $10 a month before, anyway.
Go ahead, fetishize technology, lament how we don't have flying cars, and walk around all pie eyed and dreamy about the awesome future. I've seen enough to assume it never turns out as rosy as promised, and comes with a new bag of shit most people didn't think of.
I can just imagine you, so many thousand years ago, seeing your first wheel, and telling all your neighbors not to bother getting one, that it'll never catch on...
Pfft, that's nothing, I've got an XPS with a 15.6" screen that's 3200 x 1800. And it's gorgeous, you can't see pixels at all. Why don't you just set your system font size appropriately?
Whether you like the idea of streaming games or not is immaterial. It's not as though you can't play downloaded games as well, and also, at least IMO, it's a pretty solid tablet regardless of where the games come from.
Then it should have an interesting, well written intro/summary to pull the reader in. I found myself asking the same question: "what is the point of this story"? Ok, it's interesting that the guy has no Rh-group antigens, but so what? What does that mean for medicine, in terms of potential benefits?
...especially when it turns out that the majority of people who vote are simply stupid and vote based on emotional appeal and how well the politicians word themselves rather than using the brain a little and investigating what they are voting for objectively.
But not you, of course. You're smarter than all those little sheeple.
We don't have to look at Japan. Let's look at Canada. The gun ownership rate in Canada is about 1/3 that of the United States (~30 per 100K people vs. ~90), and its homicide rate is... hm, a little less than 1/3 that of the US (1.44/100K vs. 4.7). How 'bout that.

Computer programming isn't so hard that you have to start learning in middle school.
It is if you want to be really good at it, IMO.
Where are you going to get that IP address from? How are you going to prevent collisions?
It'll probably still flop. It sounds like a real stinker.
I'm not sure if that's the point any longer.

It's not the electronics, it's the earbuds. And the popularity of crappy Beats Audio 'phones hasn't helped either.

45 and over, apparently. :-/
I think we can assume 50 or 60 US cents.
By that definition, fission could be a renewable resource too, if we built breeders.

And what is this perfect Shangri-La utopia from which you hail, that never misbehaves and where everyone is a total genius?
Your tinfoil hat is slipping off again. Make sure to squeeze it on really tight this time. Like, put it in a vise, maybe.
To me, a traditional marriage is where the partners stay together until death parts them -- gay/straight/otherwise.
So, then, something like 50% of all American marriages are non-traditional.
Well, except for that one pillar of salt - that was arguably a "what".

Of course it is; in fact it's the only way to be sure.

Who commits 90% of the gun crime in the U.S.? Certainly not law abiding citizens.
Well, no, I would suppose not. Kinda obvious.

Adam Lanza, the Trenchcoat Mafia, etc. obviously didn't care about getting away with it, now, did they?
I don't think they have "trigger-happy cops" in Japan, probably because real guns are basically illegal.
