It sounds like providers are trying to hide monthly fees in an attempt to obscure them. My ISP will let me 'rent' a modem for $10 a month, but I just decided to buy my own for $60 fifteen years ago. My brain says that's $1800 (it could be wrong, it's late). If I didn't know I was paying a $10 monthly fee, I'd never have bought my own.

And if a fee is actually a tax, just put that on the bill. It's pretty simple.

All his support is from the conspiracy wing of the other side.

I've been going with EyeBuyDirect the last few times I've gotten new glasses. I've used Zenni a few times, and they're definitely on the list of places I check, but EBD has a better selection. I save so much money on frames I can afford better lenses, and they run 2 for 1 deals pretty often. So I get a pair of regulars and a pair of polarized sunglasses.

You can upload a picture and then try on the glasses virtually and judge that way.

We should set up a GoFundMe and buy our own Supreme Court Justice. Does anyone have a coupon?

Spider-cat, Spider-cat

Doing things where the spider's at

Spins a web, lands on feet

Catches thieves, he's really neat

Look out, here comes the Spider-cat

US, Mechanical Engineer here. It definitely depends on where you are. In a city you'll start out between 60 and 75k. Rurally, between 45 and 60k. The size of the company will also play a big role.

Also, consider that you won't really get any raises unless you move to another company. Talent retention doesn't rank as high as talent recruiting unfortunately.

When I was a kid my parents had The Best of Bill Cosby on record. I wore that vinyl out playing it over and over. I memorized the bits. I bought all the cassettes I could find. I have vague memories of Fat Albert on Saturday morning. And some movie where he played the devil. And The Cosby Show. I wanted to be Bill Cosby when I grew up.

Has any other beloved celebrity fallen as far as Cosby? I mean he was universally considered to be a genuinely nice guy. He was America's Dad.

While this is a good first step, let me know when we start applying this standard to US companies.

Arthur C. Clarke wrote a sequel to the sequel to the sequel of 2001 (called 3001) where Frank Poole is rescued a thousand years after been lost in orbit around Jupiter/Saturn. By then global warming isn't caused by carbon dioxide or methane or even water vapor. It's from 1,000+ years of waste heat generated by each human that's ever lived. Even with 100% clean energy, everything still creates heat, and it has to go somewhere.
