I’ve always gotten mine back, except a small amount for legitimate damage to the carpet one time. I’d research the state tenant laws to see what...

Trump has said that there will be a violent respomse from his supporters if he gets impeached. (Presumably he’s being characteristically sloppy with...

To be sure, suburbanites coming into Minneapolis will likely continue to drive. As will city residents who have suburban jobs. But if population...

There were trump supporters rioting in saint louis?

That's the system we also have. I agree. It's fantastic. It's also good because people who need to print private things (like HR) can use network...

Maybe if I lived in a building connected to others via skybridges it wouldn't be too bad...

Overall housing density is a good thing from the perspective of providing infrastructure. It's far easier to put in one big sewer pipe (or pretty...

The mug definitely limits the number of people who would likely be giving it, and may well identify me to at least a few of the coffee drinkers in...

And this is where I'm at. I don't plan to retire for another decade or so but I've already begun to think about what i'd like to do day to day on an...

I'm fortunate that the stuff I keep for sentimental reasons is all small and easy to store. Mainly photos that are of low quality which in today's...

I've never bought a used car, but I can present a somewhat non-standard situation as an owner of one. The details, it's a 2002 Accord with just over...

Well, you certainly did apply it to your answer at least!

I agree with Steve. Of the two the jetta sounds like the better choice except that 1) there are things about it that you don't like and will never...

My office has recycling, compost and landfill bins. No pictures. Probably 50% of the people know the rules. The rest just toss stuff in whichever...

If you want another recommendation I'd strongly suggest "Many Love: A Memoir of Polyamory and Finding Love(s)." Sophie (the author) is perhaps a...

I'm intrigued that we didn't get to read 1, 2 and 3.

Currently SO and I live in a place where at one end of the block is a safeway, at the other a fruit/veggie store, and a block past that a butcher...

My guess, and it's just a guess, is that a lot of the infrastructure for sewers and the like is old. 22 years isn't that much time but IS time if...

My question for the OP is "do you really need 70% of your current salary?" I ask that because when I look at my personal situation the answer is...

Bottom line, it is wrong to search someone for drugs without probable cause that they have them.

Does that mean I get to read all the books first!?

I imagine the ACLU would be all over it if the police started trampling people’s 4th amendment rights by bringing in drug dogs to randomly search...

I'm definitely not a minimalist. I have a box with 20 years worth of every computer cable I've ever owned to prove it. And just this week two of...

Social worker seems like a pretty good idea. Since libraries are a place of information and social workers provide information on resources...

Ban the drug users. One strike and they're out. For everyone else, as long as they aren't disruptive they have as much right to be there as anyone.

It’s actually almost 1.7 million prople. Over 10% of the state’s population. ...

I have never had significant debt, but SO has, mainly credit card debt. (for 15 years we have kept completely separate finances and have no...

Actually Reno is on the mid-tier list of potential retirement locations. There are a lot of things we're juggling on our wish list and reno doesn't...

Rick Scott does seem to have taken a different tactic regarding the Hispanic/Latino population. Probably because Florida is 25% Hispanic/Latino...

As long as the republicans main efforts with regard to minority voters is to try and thwart them rather than court them I don't think the democrats...

True, although the republicans are certainly working overtime to try and make it so. It's not that most immigrants have wildly left views that make...

MBS's thug was your doctor???

It would. And although he didnt mention that specifically he did admit that being able to work from home helped. My life would certainly be simpler...

It's a shame this event wasn't a month and 5 days ago. You could have seriously rocked the pirate guy look for Halloween! Arrrgh!

I can't imagine being homeless in Minneapolis. The cold, living outside, would just be too much. And having to decide between not being able to...

You must watch a lot of tv...:~)

The founder of Panera Bread thinks the problem lies largely with Wall Street: ...

Just yesterday i shredded 8 years of paystubs. Maybe sometime this month i’ll go through my banker box and see what else can get shredded.

I can certainly underatand the desire to donate a physical ‘something’ whether it’s a can of spam, a coat, whatever. It’s much the same as with...

I was thinking the same thing as Steve. I'm certainly no minimalist, and have a few nice sized closets that are pretty full to prove it. But I do a...

There are definitely more efficient ways of getting resources to the poor than having everyone drop off a can of food for a food drive. I've...

The reality of 1,100 screws is not nearly as impressive as it sounds.

I generally want a basic wallet with the following features. It must "seal" closed in some way. Currently this means a leather bifold wallet with a...

True, although he is undoubtedly making more than any past president just on renting golf carts to the secret service and such. And no, when you...

Maybe the OP is concerned about his student loans.

And the same view after the rain has cleared the air. City hall is the domed building midway towards the hill.

There’s a whole genre on youtube of border patrol checkpoint refusals that provide instruction for people who don’t wish to give up their...

This isn't some remote. Border crossing in the middle of nowhere. It's an urban area near San Diego.. Maybe I'm wrong but I think there are probably...

Maybe if instead of sending soldiers and closing the border we'd sent lawyers and immigration judges it wouldn't have appeared to be a mob storming...

It's a good thing you're not a reality tv show producer. such a practical response is not likely to get good ratings.

Actually it was US CBP who used tear gas against them after the migrants threw projectiles upon being refused access to the port where they intended...

I’m not aurprised. We should have been sending immigration judges not the military. Trump set it up to be a violent conflict because he knew his...

Rinald Reagan got the ball rolling with his fake welfare queen stealing government benefits from hard working white tax payers. It’s all been...

I was thinking of that quote about not owning anything that isn't either useful or that brings joy to one's life. The photos UL posted show a...

If people were completely practical I'd agree. But I included what people both want and need for a reason. People want to buy their loved ones not...

My sister (in her mid-50's) and her wife retired about a year ago and bought a really nice, modest sized RV. They just finished a three month, 11,000...

What could be more thanksgivingish than killing a few migrants who have left home seeking a better, safer life somewhere else... But seriously, my...

To expand on rob's point based on the income stats about people in the US I suspect a lot of people who 'go crazy' over Black Friday do so because...
