    question about renting my house out

    What's the difference between your mortgage and the apartment's (estimated) rent? Unless the rent is less than 60% of what you would pay for the mortgage, I'd say it's a bad idea. FWIW Clark Howard warns against the exact arrangement you're proposing. Maybe a better path would be to rent out...

    Go back to school, leave home, or continue working?? What to do with my life...

    The pragmatic thing to do is get your degree(s) while living at home. But you know that. Seems to me that what you really want is for someone to give you "permission" to pursue options 1 or 3. So go ahead. As a random guy on an internet message board, I hereby validate your desires. Do whatever...

    What motherboards will fit in this old Shuttle case?

    I have an SK41G (specs). The stock motherboard (Shuttle FX41) recently went kaput. Are there any boards I can replace it with? I'd be happy to get another FX41, but I can't find any for sale. Whatever I put in there needs to work with the SK41G's "ICE/heatpipe" CPU cooler (i.e. processor has...

    Zeitgeist, The Movie 2007

    facespace

    The YouTube links posted here are usually lame, but I liked this. Cute, clever. "What was that?" "That's my thing." Good stuff.

    Are you trying to steal the "world's biggest troll" award from CasioTech? Christ, you're an annoying little shit.
