    This Mostly White City Wants To Leave Its Mostly Black School District

    I don't see what is wrong with this. I grew up in North NJ and it's like that. Each town has its own police, fire, school, library. Also each town in North NJ is about a mile radius and is right next to another town on all sides. You literally cross a certain street and you're in another...

    Dumb question: Why does the President get a special plane instead of a retrofitted military aircraft

    Dumb question, but it's been bothering me all day. So the new Presidential aircraft is supposed to cost $2.9 Billion in R&D and this might bring down costs of future military aircraft or it might not. Why not just retrofit a military aircraft like the P-8 (or C-17) to transport the President...

    Tesla Bought SolarCity

    Very doable now for people living in places like San Diego. Power wall + pannels and a small generator for those rare cloudy days. Maybe have a device that generates electricity from natural gas?

    Dunkin Donuts

    DD quality is highly regional. It tastes different in different areas. Gourdoughs is the same doughnut with different toppings. I love Shipley's yeast filled doughnuts. They're like little delicate pouches used to hold in the different fillings. Unfortunately the cream is just...

    Lol the way you put it, it sounds like you're just trying to keep people out of Austin. True about the heat tho.

    Austin TX, vs. San Diego, help me

    Gibsons- the heat is a negative. I'm not a fan of extreme heat or cold. Tweak- it's closer to 18k more since there is no state income tax in TX. HamburgerBoy- Traffic is getting bad in Austin because it is growing so fast. I 35 is a mess since it's only 2 lanes in each direction most of...

    Austin TX, vs. San Diego, help me

    I need help. I moved to San Diego at the end of Jan for a new job and I saw a promotion in Austin TX that closes tomorrow. I need help getting my head straight. In my gut I rank Austin slightly higher than SD for location, but the ultimate goal is to move to Portland OR so there is no benefit...

    Washing a (Mostly) Wool Blanket - Dry Clean?

    Just buy a cheap duvet cover at Ikea. They're easier to wash. Also washing cheap wool makes it scratchy.

    Is There Such a Thing as a Non-Stick Egg Pan?

    I eat 5 scrambled eggs a day for dinner and have never had a sticking problem. I use a $20 ceramic pan (11" and no rivets) from Homegoods. Medium-low fire and a tablespoon of butter. Addin the butter after the pan gets hot, swirl around the butter to coat the bottom then add in the egg and...

    The Walking Dead - season 6 discussion thread

    If it's been 2-3 years how have the zombies not completely rotted out yet? In the South, I doubt a rotting corpse would even last a season before being completely picked clean by insects.
