    Depends on what you're making. Have fun cooking eggs in a cast iron pan. If your budget isn't tight, I would honestly get both.

    Teflon isn't toxic until high temperatures, ~550F. So don't stick your non-stick in a really hot oven and you'll be fine.

    Rent Vs. Buy housing

    So buy an apartment? Or rent a house. I think you're getting off your original point. You said renting saves you money on repairs. It doesn't. You're paying for the repairs no matter where you're living, whether you rent it or own it. Now, going from an apartment to a house will incur...

    Rent Vs. Buy housing

    You can rent homes too. Why should we compare renting an apartment to buying a home in regards to typical repairs? That seems to dissimilar to draw any worthy conclusions. As for your specialty projects...uh, no idea how any of that applies to the difference between renting and buying...

    Sorry bro, low duration, fast repetition, low force/torque movements will not prepare you for this. Unless, you're really hammering it home there.

    Rent Vs. Buy housing

    Are those undergrad loans? I wouldn't be so gungho about paying those off early. Usually the interest rate on those are pretty low(haha, not anymore, fuck you students! -repubs). Better off maxing out your 401k first. 10 year payoff for student loans in pretty typical anyway. What extra...

    You know way more about this shit than me, mr. plumber. I just thought heating oil cost a lot more per unit of heat than natural gas.

    Did you consider bringing in a gas main and buying a tankless heater? Not sure how much you're going to save on heating costs if you're still using oil.

    Rent Vs. Buy housing

    You're paying for repairs. Renovations are optional. Tools seem kinda minor cost-wise for what's typically needed around the house for repairs. So, again, you're not saving this money by renting. The landlord should be making you pay by folding it into your monthly payments. I bought a...

    Someone good with finance explain if that's good or not. Stock market grows at ~7% per year. If I have a 3.75% home loan over 30 years, why should I ever pay it off early, PMI withstanding?

    Holy shit, that was way too much fucking work. Layer butter with blue cheese just so I can discard the blue cheese and baste the finished steak with the butter? Is iceberg lettuce not perceived as shit in Britain? I don't care what texture it has, if I order a steak that takes that much work...

    Rent Vs. Buy housing

    A properly prepared landlord is adding those costs into the monthly payment. So, yes, you're paying for a new roof. The landlord can't just up and raise rent to cover the new roof because he'll lose the tenants to a competing rental. I suspect, perhaps subconsciously, you looked into housing...

    I don't think that's a fair comparison to make. You're paying the landlord's escrow when you're renting, so what's the difference? Porkchop, as others have said, make sure you look at something called PITI. Principle, Interest, Taxes, Insurance. Sounds like you're only looking at the first...

    C/C++'s main problem(compared to Java) is unification, for lack of a better word. You code Java? It works the same pretty much everywhere. Compiler to compiler, platform to platform. I'm generalizing here, I'm sure someone could point out some exceptions. C across platforms and compilers...

    Full repercussions of getting email hacked?

    Do these type of exploits only have the ability to send out emails? Or do they basically have full email access? Like Selix, I've got a bunch of important stuff in my gmail account. Though, I run adblock, so would that ever happen?

    On their traditional plans, sure. This weird plan that you have to go hunting for, I wouldn't be surprised if you got 100 minutes and that's it. I don't think any prepaid plans have free minutes of any type.

    Totally wrong application for broccoli. Cook time is WAY too long. Came out mushy, didn't it? Quick blanche or baked in the oven drizzled with some oil is how broccoli should be cooked. Have you tried onion powder?
