You can't delve into his family-business background, which obviously got him his first roles among other things, then turn around and claim he pulled himself up by his bootstraps with hard work...

According to this chart, girls face very high rates of kidnapping until they hit age 40+...

So that's the earliest age at which you can safely start letting them walk home, alone. In fact the numbers peak at around age 22, so that's a terrible time to cut back on your around-the-clock parental supervision of them... You're better off leaving your 5-year old daughter on her own, than when she's teen-aged.

I'd say it varies greatly depending on the area. In a small town it is probably pretty safe for younger kids to wander around on their own. In a big, crime-ridden city with lots of random eyes around, I'd be careful.

As for teenagers in general, they may be less vulnerable to strangers, but having a house to themselves for hours, with friends around, could be pretty risky in entirely different ways...

A loft bed would commonly just have a ladder, anyhow, so this doesn't seem to actually be saving any space.

"Tiny Homes" seems like a very expensive fad. Travel trailers already have lots of design effort going into making the most use of minimal space. They just don't look very stylish.

Unfortunately, she will quickly be replaced by Indians willing to do the job for a fraction the cost...

Also, under Android Developer Options is "Allow Mock Locations". You can feed your phone a list of GPS coordinates and the apps running won't know you aren't actually traveling to those locations.

Stack the wood any which way you want, grab all the kindling you can, and you'll still probably never get a fire started (without lighter fluid or a starter log) with such worthless vague tips.

The key is to get the heat from the kindling in as small of a space as possible, confined against as small a part of a log as possible. You really need a tight, six sided box around your kindling, made up of the fire ring/pit/rock, several logs, and possibly rocks or sand. You can't possibly make it too tight with the materials you'll be using, so don't worry about intake air our exhaust openings. Go to extremes to hold the flames from that kindling in, and those logs will fire up that much faster.

Cleaning is a popular target for old wives tales because it's so subjective... Sometimes messes are tougher than others, and with enough scrubbing, even water is a good enough cleaner for any mess. If you want to clean up the tough messes quickly, get yourself a nice cheap pack of sand paper... Puts Comet/Ajax to shame! Also removes corns, calluses and unwanted tattoos.

Btw, anywhere somebody stupidly says to use vodka, substitute isopropyl and save yourself a ton of money.

All testing has shown ultrasonic insect repellent devices don't work. And what's more, I see no reason to combine these two unrelated devices. Would you buy a refrigerator-stove, or a lawnmower-car?

The question is only a hypothetical thought experiment, NOT a real issue. Sensors, today, aren't remotely reliable enough to prevent false positives and therefore sacrifice vehicle occupants for a radar blip.

I heard that many scientists found these sound-based products don't work.
Could be a good excuse for when TVs make that annoying high-pitched noise sometimes, blame it on the mosquito repellent.

Technology moves too fast. I bet the man-power needed goes down every year as software improves and automates more and more of the process. Before college, everyone should spend days looking through local job listings to see what fields are actually hiring, at good rates.

While single and earning $50/hr full-time (which is $100,000/yr), you'll pay more than 1/3rd of that salary in federal+state income+SS taxes, and you'll probably have to move to a city with high rent to get such a job, which will eat at LEAST another 1/3rd of the rest, right off. You still come out ahead, of course, but there are plenty of situations where you can earn half as much (in a cheaper city) while being able to put away just as much in your savings (or retirement) account, while doing a much easier job.
