    Investing

    This. Except I'd hold off on the Roth until we see if the new tax plan goes through. No use in paying more taxes than needed. Most amateur (and even many experienced) personal investors will not see 9% gains, especially repetitively, but yields should definitely be higher than your interest...

    Watches......Show Us What You Got!

    Very dependent on brand. Rolex, Breitling, Omega, and the trinity watches all hold their values pretty well (Rolex and the trinities, especially). And even many Seiko and Citizen models resale without a huge loss.

    Ok this is getting ridiculous.

    Shit...I should have actually read the article. I stand corrected! That's not how all Shelby models are though, right?

    Ok this is getting ridiculous.

    To allow that to happen is a travesty...the Shelby name is an issue in and of itself.

    Good example of how Ford is underperforming as a company right now.

    The Exorcist – dyno numbers

    You are thinking of the right people. The story goes that they would sell OEM parts from customer cars to fund new builds, and then use cheaper materials when reassembling the original vehicle. https://www.reddit.com/r/cars/comments/1fecpk/what_exactly_did_hennessey_do_to_make_himself_so/

    Wireless HDMI/Cable

    Definitely pay the $150. There are ethernet and AC extenders that could work in you case, but you'll spend about the same amount to get them. For example, if you have ethernet in both areas...

    Finally Cut That Cord!

    I've been cable free with an HTPC, Kodi and a home fileserver for 5+ years. When I started it, the options were pretty awful and it was nearly impossible to get any good material. For those of you with Kodi, the add-on "USTV Now" is a free service meant for overseas families to get basic cable...

    How did that, at any point in time, seem like it was going to work? Wonder how many bones were broken in that moment of brilliance...

    Tinnitus

    For those you taking aspirin as a preventative measure (or otherwise), it is known to cause or worsen tinnitus. In fact, may medications can cause/worsen it. Then again, the risk/reward is usually such that dealing with the tinnitus is almost necessary, depending on the medication.

    N/A credit score.

    Advising to never have debt is a really poor idea. Good luck saving up enough money to buy a house. While doing that, the money that you're getting 0% return on could be invested in an index fun yielding 5-7% annually, while carrying a 3% mortgage.

    Using a child's name in public exposes that detail to a far smaller number of people than does a name-tag on the back of the car. And that's kind of a ridiculous question, since most kidnappers are familiar with their targets, and I find it unlikely that any would admit during interrogation that...

    Makes it easier for a stranger to befriend a child when they know their name: "Hey, Kaden, I work with your (insert parent) and he/she asked me to pick you up"

    What Exactly is Your Trade Worth?

    How well should trade-in offer correlate with similar models on the lot? For example, if I have a car that I am looking to trade in and the dealership has the same model/options with similar mileage, what percentage differential should I be expecting? I recognize this changes by dealer, but on...
