  1. Yes, after the equifax breech Congress passes a law prohibiting the bureaus from charging you to feeeze/unfreeze your credit. I keep my credit frozen too. It’s the lesser of the two pain in the asses.
  2. The crazy thing is that many religions believe in demons and the various understanding of their nature have a lot of similarities. It’s hard to pinpoint one faith. However, if you want to start blaming someone start with the Jews since the OT came before the NT.
  3. This is my experience too. 45 is the new 40. Going above and beyond or crunch time starts at 50. I love what I do and am blessed with the compensation so I’m not complaining. Yup, I too don’t think reduced hours works. Corporate America is greedy, there is strong global competition like never before, and people still measure their own worth by the work they accomplish. This concept is spilling into other geos. I managed employees in countries where they have laws prohibiting working more than X hours. I couldn’t get those people to stick to their hours. They would always claim that they could choose what they did in their free time. I had a family member that had a 30 hour agreement (layout design engineer). Employer would not keep realistic expectations and she would work 40 each week. While they paid her overtime, it’s not what she signed up for (medical reasons). She threatened to quit and they would adjust, hours creeped up again and threatened again, back and forth and she finally quit. I could go on and on with examples.
  4. https://www.sittercity.com/parents/find-child-care/how-much-should-you-pay-your-sitter-or-nanny $13 to $15 is about right in Austin. With that said, we don’t let our daughter charge that much because we want to encourage couples to go out on dates so they focus on their marriage. She agrees with that. She charges $10 for the first 2 hours and $13 per for each additional hour. With that said she only babysits for our friends and some neighbors. Some of it also depends on the family as well. For example, we have some friends who live paycheck to paycheck and she charged them $7 per hour.
  5. Congrats. That’s really awesome to have a large family of academics. Keep up the good work. We are still 3 years away for the first to start applying. She wants to go to UT but I think she’d do better in a smaller environment.
  6. Thanks, this was an excellent read. Best thing I’ve learned all day...
  7. Proper installation is more important. There are a lot of jumpers and configurations. Improper setup will lead to higher failure rates and lower efficiency. Get a recommendation on a good installer and don’t sweat paying a little more.
  8. Damn. Good time to buy I guess.
  9. Yep just like Wendy Davis.
  10. Replace China with Russia and the reason for not flipping the switch is because we’re in their critical infrastructure too.
  11. Waze and Goole Maps are now supported on Apple Carplay with IOS12 ...just an FYI
  12. I work for an MNC and the US gives us the business more than any other country.
  13. What services are you using for the games? I think that would be an important factor to deciding.
  14. DE safety razor FTW. There’s nothing like a Feather Blade on Merker 34c.
  15. I’ve had a Kirby and a Rainbow growing up. Both worked well but they were a serious pain to use. I have a Dyson animal now and there’s no going back.
  16. Not really. I’ve had friends lose bikes in a matter of minutes. To the OP, buy the thickest u lock you can afford.
  17. I have a pioneer in my F150; works well with android auto. One word of caution, the power output is weak compared to other brands.
  18. That’s thinking outside the box. Good call.
  19. If he doesn’t want to play, then don’t let the coaches talk him into it. It’s a heck of a game, but it’s definitely rough. I suffered a head and back injury while playing it and the back injury eventually was too much to deal with. However I would do it all over again if I had the opportunity. Football is one of my fondest childhood memories. Similar to your son, the defensive back coach also was the baseball coach and consistently harassed me to try my hand in baseball. Year after year I always declined, but I always spent at least $20 on the dunking booth if he was in it.[emoji3]. Nothing was ever held against me. If he plays, just make sure he learns how to play safely (e.g not tackling either he crown of the helmet).
  20. Pretty good advice, here
  21. No issue with my Craftsman mower with a Briggs and Stratton engine. 15 years old and going strong. I do add Ethanol Shield to my gas as a precaution..
  22. Sounds like a policies and procedure issue not one for a technical solution.
  23. This. You need to know what the soil is like to know how much expansion and contraction to expect with changes in moisture content.
  24. I’ve never had good luck with baffles and tunes by plates. It helped but there were still some odd temp gradients. ... Jimmy, Unless you have a compelling reason to build, I would suggest getting a WSM. Cooking on it is stupid easy.
  25. Anyone use any of those angle wedges on a ring? My doorbell is 90 degrees to the door.
