I just save it up.

It's like yelling. Nobody pays attention if you do it all the time.

Damn. My bad. Thank you

Edited my original comment with a strike-through.

It's hilarious. They were literally ~~propping up the value of his company by preventing a price implosion.~~

It makes me wonder if his orders got cancelled.

Worse, they fall to 83rd for life expectancy at age 65. That's what really counts for most of us.

Sooner or later someone will commit suicide while watching your show, no matter what you do. If that episode happens to contain a suicide scene, and somebody rightly or wrongly connects the dots, you want the disclaimer to be there.

To reprise a bit of schoolhouse wisdom,

I missed this whole thing. I've had them blocked for as long as I can remember.

Travel on the cheap while you're still willing to put up with it.

Seriously. Save up a couple thousand dollars. Go see stuff.

Make sure you have enough in your emergency fund to get home if you screw it up.

Certainly. Germany is an extreme example.

I'm from California, been on various trips around Spain, and France, with under a week spent in both Italy and Switzerland.

I love everywhere I've been. I'd be happy to live somewhere in western Europe.

I don't know if European healthcare is better, but it's far more civilized in its availability. I haven't seen much difference between EU and USA for equivalent-quality grocery prices, with the exception of Zurich. I've found Europe to be generally safe. There seems to be more "sneaky" crime, whereas the States has more confrontational crime.

Freeway etiquette is far better in France and Spain than California. Trains, of course, are better too.

One major difference is labor laws. The EU has far more protection, but far less mobility. I remember telling a German friend that I had gotten a new job operating a fairly large power system, after working in a tangentially related field, without any additional study or licenses, and his response was "Only in America!" I hadn't even considered that this move would be far more difficult in other countries.
