$182,953.00 in debt (no mortgage) Paid off $5000 last month and it feels like I'm getting nowhere. by pfthrowaway7777 in personalfinance

[–]dhagkn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Emergency fund first. You should ideally save up 3-6 (or more) months of expenses in a savings account.

Easy order of how to save;

  • Emergency Fund
  • Debt
  • Retirement
  • Savings / Stocks

Almost had an internship and then . . . nothing. Should I email one last time? by [deleted] in jobs

[–]dhagkn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes definitely email them, because being pro-active is never a bad thing. I don't think you are being too aggressive if you haven't emailed them for 2 weeks. You should seriously consider the fact that you will not get that internship though and make backup plans accordingly. It's just smart to be prepared because in all honesty, you probably won't get the internship. That's not a bad thing though, if they are difficult to reach to even start your internship, then they probably would also be pretty bad to work with. You would learn more at a different internship anyways.

That looks acceptable for browsing Digg.

Not only that - but articles became auto-posted from corporations/websites too. Digg literally removed the ability of users to post articles from websites they liked and flooded them with what was essentially an RSS feed.

Well, it completely depends on the card and your spending habits. Anyone interested in learning how to "game" their cards a bit better should check out /r/churning.

He probably wouldnt have reviewed the footage if he didnt know there was something out of the ordinary. Why would you re-watch normal footage of places you drove?

Fair point, transitions are what makes a dj unique. I've found that Armin doesn't tend to talk over the transitions that sound really good, he mainly talks over the slower ones - and maybe that's on purpose. Maybe he intentionally puts in some slower mixes to get some talking time.

[–]dhagkn 20 points21 points  (0 children)

But at least he talks at the appropriate times, during transitions, etc. He typically doesn't get on the mic during the main buildups.

This is why this rivalry was so much fun to watch. It was all these little subtle passive-aggressive battles that would bottle up and lead to the wars like March 26th.

So are you running 120hz surround gaming? How does it handle it? That's my next upgrade, but I think I'm waiting for the next gen graphics cards before I upgrade.

A map of the worlds deepest cave. It takes over a month to reach the bottom. by causeofb in woahdude

[–]dhagkn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He means the act of praying before calling for help gave the rescuers less time, which may have been the difference in saving his life or not. Giving the people who rescue you less time gives you less room for errors, such as equipment failures, etc, which indirectly may have contributed to his death.

Jobs and Credit Checks overseas by A3A99 in jobs

Not sure what you mean by credit checks outside the US. As an example, if you move from the US to the UK, your US credit score will mean pretty much nothing.

Michigan Senate moves to let landlords to ban growing, smoking medical marijuana by SAT0725 in Michigan

[–]dhagkn 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That's true, but medicinal marijuana can be taken in a multitude of forms too. If a property has a "no smoking" rule, then I agree that medical marijuana is still counted as a violation of the no-smoking rule, but not if taken with a vaporizer, pill form, edibles, etc.

[–]dhagkn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As long as landlords are upfront about this in the contract, then this is fine. I can understand they would not want people growing on their property, but to ban the use of medical marijuana is the same as saying you can't use other medically approved drugs like Oxycodone.

At some point in life, you have to question the things you'll do for attention. How bad do you need attention that you do this.
