It amounts to preferences. Personally, I would feel depressed as all hell living in a place that's even somewhat isolated: I need to live around people and I need it to be walkable (i.e. not have to depend on a car and drive for miles to get anywhere), which eliminates virtually all cities in the US except Boston, NYC, Chicago, SF and Seattle (from what I gatherl; never been there). Not cheap cities to live in. Of course, it doesn't meant that everybody else feel the same way, but that's my reasoning for living where I do.
Seriously, doesn't anybody even read the bloody article before making a comment!? Hell, it's even on the summary! This is the second time I come back here to find that someone has made the same asinine mistake. These are weekly figures, people, not monthly!
This. Also, I recently (read: two days ago) went into a Radio Shack advertising 30-50% off everything. Naturally, I poked my head in to see what they had. I looked at an SD card for my Switch and dropped my jaw when saw that a 16GB card was selling for $30. The employee was quick to point out the 30% discount, which would take it down to...$20. A quick amazon search shows that it can go for $7. I doubt that it was the same make/model/brand, but a 3x price differential is amazing - after the discount, mind you. I'm actually surprised they haven't folded for good a while back. ah well, better late than never...
I wanted to downmod you, but will respond instead. I'm not sure where you're from, but in the U.S public transportation is, at best, pitiful. I'm lucky to live in Boston where we actually HAVE a public transport system (as dysfunctional as it is). It's a bit of a hassle, but I can get to just about anywhere from where I live. This is because Boston, like NYC, Chicago and San Fran has enough density to support public transportation. Just about everywhere else does not and without the population density, the economics doesn't make sense: why spend countless billions of dollars to build and maintain an infrastructure when few people will actually use it? What's more: with (sub)urban sprawl seen in the US, commuting via bike or other alternative forms of transportation also becomes unfeasible, meaning you (and tons of other people) are ultimately stuck with driving a car to get to work....causing traffic.
No, but what happens when someone else's moral and ethical judgement is anathema to yours and to a free society? Would you let the government take your house because someone else said it's not fair that you live in a nice house with a white picket fence while there are homeless people dying? Would you be OK with laws taking away your rights because you belong to ${demographic group} and thus already already have too many privileges? Yeah, thought so.
Ironic since Denatonium Benzoate (the component that makes it taste so nasty) is used in countless products (methanol, rat poison etc) exactly to *prevent* people from getting poisoned. Also, it's used on nails to prevent nail biting: It's safe, tastes unbearably nasty, and much better than the alternative of a kid choking to death.
At metacritic, BotW has a 98 score, second only to Ocarina of Time, with over 50 reviews. I, for one, cannot wait (and, yes, I'm buying the Switch for this).
Incorrect. Fahrenheit (like Celsius) is a relative measure, for you to measure 90 times the earth's heat (thermal energy), you'd have to use an absolute measurement: Kelvin. Let's do the math.
75 F (earth's temperature) = 273.15 K; 90 times that is: 273.15* 90 = 24,583K which corresponds to 43,789.73 F. It's hot there, but not THAT hot.
I find that their advice is often spot-on and very useful / practical, especially when it comes to things like office politics and social interactions (something I'm terrible at). I know of other successful people who also follow(ed) their advice, so there must be something to it... Just my $0.02.

And it's in the original article, too. Someone needs a new editor...

I dunno...of all the places I'd go to when sick, the Walmart of healthcare would not be at the top of my list....

The numbers are in weekly, not monthly, amounts placing NYC at $2,700/month. Not sure how accurate that is, but Boston's rent is spot on.
