    DeWalt DW745 is junk.

    Most CCs will add an additional year of warranty for free. If you purchased using a CC, you can wait until the warranty for the saw expires and then you can turn it over to the CC for warranty support. It depends on your CC policy, but you may have to ship it to them and they may just refund...

    eBay, the business plan police

    I used CL recently to sell some furniture. Over 75% were 1 email inquiries that I never hear back from after responding and the rest are mostly no-shows. However, the good thing is CL is free and only one person who showed up left without buying.

    Talk To Me About Insurance, Investing, Retirement, etc

    You need to give more information about yourself and situation. How much money is currently available for investing (per month)? What is your life goals (do you want to retire and live a long time on your savings, or go down in a blaze of glory)? How many working years do you have left? Are...

    eBay, the business plan police

    Which makes sense. However, I already sent them my receipt. Apparently that isn't enough, and now they want my business case, photo, dl number, hair color, address, DOB, SSN, blood type, race, and date when I first masturbated. Personal stuff I prefer not to share just so I have the privilege...

    Gopro falls from plane

    Probably the pig owners found it and traced it back to him.

    That will require me to pay to send them a fax since email is a new technology not available to them.

    eBay, the business plan police

    I plan on using Craigslist, but it's quite a hassle with the no-shows and the is-it-still-available?. Still going to do it now rather than deal with eBay's ridiculous demands. Guess that puts me in the "happy dance when eBay gets it hard" club.

    eBay, the business plan police

    I switched my family cell phone plan to T-Mobile in response to their ETF fee promotion. As part of their promotion, I had to purchase some cheap phones. I planned to keep my AT&T phones, so I sold the cheap T-Mobile phones on eBay at a loss (some $$ now > $0 and crappy phones). eBay promptly...

    Is turning down a Job Offer bad ? - Suggestions needed

    To answer your question, it depends on how you turn down the offer. If you gracefully decline the offer, it shouldn't affect your chances assuming that the position still exists in the future. Try working out a deal with the company first to let you stay at your current school; if they refuse...

    is 650$ a good car rental rate for cross-country 2-week 1-way trip?

    Are you sure you won't get charged mileage? I never seen an one-way rental where you don't get charged mileage.

    if you are training a new guy at work

    It depends on what you sold yourself as. If you sold yourself as someone who is competent in the task, then I would expect you to pick it up quickly. Otherwise, I understand there will be a learning curve, but you shouldn't look at me blankly if we just discussed it a couple of slides ago.

    Child being hurt by crowd

    This is in China. Kid looks to be one of the minorities from the west, which probably didn't help when surrounded by angry Hans. The situation is similar to America's Old Far West (Hans don't regard the natives very highly). That beatdown is relatively minor; the worst will come from his master.

    Is the era of "cheap" Chinese labor at an end? A good thing?

    China outsources to Vietnam.
