In case anybody is interested, T-Mobile has changed their pay-as-you-go model. I had to recharge my minutes recently because they were about to expire for the year. Instead of paying the usual $100 for 1,000 minutes, I only had to pay $10 to add 100 minutes and my remaining unused minutes rolled over for another year, so I'm good for another year for only $10.

Participation Rate Drops To 36 Year Low; Record 92.6 Million Americans Not In Labor Force

Having worked in IT for nearly two decades, I can tell you that some CEOs are paid too much and others are paid fairly. I've seen my share of inept, buffoonish CEOs who were paid lavishly and didn't deserve it. I've also known CEOs who were extremely astute, affable, perceptive, and practical.

'I'll fight off Ebola with bottles of Vimto' - Liberian exorcist reveals secret weapon against deadly virus

American Workers Spend $1000 A Year On Coffee, $2000 A Year On Lunch A surprising number of people I talk to spend $100/month on their smart phone plans. I spend $100/year for a pay-as-you-go plan with a cheap T-Mobile flip phone, and I never come close to using all of my minutes. I don't know what people generally pay for cable TV, but it's about $50/month for the basic package around here.

'Jesus NEVER existed': Writer finds no mention of Christ in 126 historical texts and says he was a 'mythical character' There is no evidence that the Jesus character in the Bible was a real person, let alone that he performed physics-defying acts of magic. Jesus is an anthropomorphized solar deity worshiped by throngs of credulous, feeble-minded followers. He's nothing more than a comic book character like Superman. Search for Robert Price on YouTube.

Selective memory and gaslighting are common traits among abusers.

Libertopia 2014 will be in San Diego, CA from Nov 13-16. Sadly, Stef isn't on the list of scheduled speakers this year. I hope we can get some Freedomainers together. A group of us went out to dinner at last year's Libertopia. You might recognize some familiar faces. From left to right are Craig (who I know from the Complete Liberty Meetup in San Diego), Jeff Maxim (interviewed by Jeff Berwick), me, Jake Desyllas (The Voluntary Life), Hannah Braime (Becoming Who You Are), and Stephanie Murphy (Porc Therapy).

The man who made $50 million ditching Kickstarter

Why does Christianity merit respect?You call yourself a philosopher and scientist. Where is the truth, logical argumentation, and demonstration of evidence in Christianity?Having an open mind doesn't mean one must entertain all manner of fatuous nonsense.

Ann Coulter wants to 'drown' libertarians

Now we know why Sean Hannity is such a scumbag. Sean Hannity: US must take Iraq, Kuwait oil Sean Hannity: Apple-polisher for the State

I found myself in that situation when I was young and naive. I didn't realize what was happening at the time but a woman I was "friends" with, and seeing regularly, let it slip out (probably unintentionally) that plans that she had made with another guy didn't materialize. I was basically the backup plan. Needless to say that it stung. We went out a few more times and it occurred to me that it was never going to go anywhere, so I moved on. To her credit, she paid for half of everything. I don't allow myself to get friend-zoned anymore. I'll make some effort and go out on a few dates, and then move along.

Sorry, but I won't be able to make it. I'll be in San Diego that day.

D.C. is the Wild West when enforcing tickets for traffic violators, audit finds

It's best to plan meetups on the weekends. Some of us have very little free time during the week and traffic on the freeways in SoCal is horrendous.

A search for material on female obesity reveals two recurring trends: 1) a correlation between obesity and sexual abuse and, 2) obesity as a deterrent against unwanted sexual advances.

Don't be so hard on Ben Afflick. He has been in some stinkers, but he's not that bad. I was never impressed with him until I saw Hollywoodland (which is an underrated movie in my opinion). I especially appreciated it having grown up watching The Adventures of Superman.
