Re: Rogue One (Spoilers)

Is it just me, or did the two ISDs in orbit over Scarif look a little...fake? It may just be the bright sunlight on the hull and the angle, but at certain points they almost appeared to be unpainted white model plastic. As if someone built a model ISD and simply didn't paint the thing. I thought th...

Re: Rogue One (Spoilers)

Just saw the movie this afternoon. I was disappointed and a little confused that the two star destroyers at Scarif didn't seem to put up much of a fight. I was expecting to see one of them fire off a salvo from its main guns and slag one of the smaller rebel ships. Instead, most of the fighting in s...

Re: American Living Wage Calculator

I'd like to know more about how they came up with these numbers. I currently spend about 43% of what that site considers a "livable" after-tax wage for me. If I add their healthcare and transportation costs to my expenses (I consider myself fortunate to not have these expenses), it still o...

Re: McDonalds helps it's employees budget! (Irony)

Fuzzy, you're assuming a young person with no commitments, able to get a place near where he works, etc. What happens if that person has children? Can't find a cheap nearby rent? Needs some kind of social life for their sanity? What happens if they're late 30's and laid off from their redundant man...

Re: McDonalds helps it's employees budget! (Irony)

It's entirely possible to get by on a McDonald's budget, as long as you make certain adjustments to your life. Drop the car and rent a room within walking/biking distance from work. Get a cheap prepaid phone plan. Drop the cable/internet. Don't eat at restaurants. Don't have children unless you can ...

Re: IDS: "I could live on £53 pw" Daily Telegraph: "Oh, real

Is the cost of living really that much higher in Britain? Here in the US, I've been living without difficulty in a major city on about $65 a week, not including rent. That's significantly less than what is quoted in the article. Granted, I'm a single, healthy, 22-year-old so I'm sure that helps.

Yea, I'm a single 22-year-old with no debt so it was pretty easy to come up with a budget of under $1000 a month. The only problem is finding money for recreation.
