Ignore it. If they're serious they can file a police report and insurance claim.

99.99% chance they don't. And even if they do you just have to say "Prove it was me." since they can't you're off the hook.

>Hey bro, did you hear about this new app that has direct access to your bank accounts?!? It's so convenient and awesome, you should give it direct access to your bank accounts!!!

Nope. I've got exactly 1 app with access to my bank (besides my bank), which is my credit-card so I can pay the bill, and that's enough for me.

Thanks, I hate it.

You cant stop it, but you can make it more expensive.

Instead of buying the chips directly China has to set up, or go through intermediaries.

This adds overhead costs and risks. If they get the chips through a Vietnamese intermediary, the US can pressure Vietnam to shut it down or risk being sanctioned as well.

> We plan on getting married after we buy a house/condo.

No.

Every month there is somebody who got into a big financial commitment before getting married, the marriage got called off, and now it's a cluster-fuck

Wait until you are married if you plan on putting both your names on the property.

Because youre using it wrong. Lets try to rephrase

> If you dont spend the money now, you won't have to earn it later.

It's a phrase about avoiding unnecessary or frivolous expenditures.

Not true. A penny saved (not spent) now, is worth a penny earned now.

What it does in the future is irrelevant to the saying.

Taking a counter-offer is a huge gamble.

The company now knows you are looking, and willing, to leave. They may just be counter-offering to keep you on until they can hire and train your replacement.

Every situation is different but the general consensus is not to accept a counter-offer unless it comes with a guarantee of employment for X months. And then you need to plan on being let go after X months.

Need one hell of a gearbox on that

All government inefficiencies and processes aside, as in I can snap my fingers and make the change, the best way would be to classify them by horsepower instead.

Mostly they've been gas powered. There's not really been a push to go electric with them because they tend to get 100 mpg or more (tiny engine, light weight).

When you're that fuel efficient there's just not a demand for electric.

It might. My point is, as always,

• Time in market > Timing market

And in November it may tank.

For retirements, always remember youre measuring in decades not months or quarters.

Properly diversify, and properly balance for how long you have.

> We've just committed ourselves to wasteful practices.

You mean to tell me growing incredibly water-intensive plants in/near a desert is a BAD idea???

Someone tell California.

Maybe you shouldn't have shut down your Nuclear plants?
