We only get one planet Illustrations by Nico H. Brausch for The VergeSustainability is one of those words that has lost most of its meaning thanks to a steady drumbeat of corporate marketing and greenwashing. “Going green” often means buying some useless carbon credits or slapping a few choice buzzwords on a label. Rarely does it seem to hold any value anymore. But a…

So I reckon I had to add some skills to enhance my chances. Social Media management is something that caught my eye and thought I’ll dive right in and learn about it. I looked in Google and found a huge number of…

Green Eggs and Ham was a pretty surprising success. What other short story should be get a stretched adaptation? Green Eggs and Ham was a fairly short book by Dr Seuss, the result of a bet ue made to make a book that only used 50 words. It may be considered a cloassix but it doesn’t have much plot. Therefore when news of the 13 episode Netflix adaptation (later they also made a second season with 10 episodes) many were skeptical. But from the trailer they …

Lost my muse. How can I get my skill back? So in short, I’ve been going through a lot of things, and completely neglected my photography. Which I hate because it’s therapeutic for me, at least before. Now, whenever I try to go out and shoot everything just seems like a bland picture someone took with their phone. It lacks that photography look submitted by /u/ihaveaquestion201

Should we get our marriage license before the New Year? My fiancé and I are getting married in December, and we plan on getting our marriage license in January. I make $110,000/year and she was totally dependent on me this year, so she has no salary to report. From a tax perspective, would it be more beneficial for us to be married, filing jointly, or should I file single without getting my marriage …

I’ve read up on Roth vs traditional IRA multiple times – I still don’t get it. I understand that Roth contributions are post tax and traditional contributions are pre tax. What I can’t wrap my brain around is how a traditional IRA could even come close to outperforming a roth account. The rule of thumb I always hear is “if you think your tax rate will be lower in the future, go traditional.” Federal income tax rates range …

Help! Huge living room but I can’t get the layout to work I’m moving into a new apartment and I just can’t find a good way to layout this living room. The fireplace is stunning but takes up nearly an entire wall! And there are big windows on two other walls which restricts where furniture can go. I want lots of seating, ideally with the fireplace as the focus but TV location is also important. And I al…

Right now I have a roadside assistance coverage plan from my insurance but it only tows up to 20 miles and i’m not sure if it will work in Canada.

Wanting to get back into the industry.. any advice? I’ve been out of the design industry since Covid hit. After getting my interior architecture degree I had about a year of experience doing interior decoration and then only 4 months at an actual architecture firm as a CAD technician.

They Wanted to Get Sober. They Got a Nightmare Instead. Arizona spent $1 billion on addiction treatment, much of it fraudulent, officials said. Scores of Native Americans who sought help are still struggling with untreated addiction — and some died in rehab.

Didn’t get a chance to tip our guide in Peru So we booked a 3d/2n Colca Canyon tour and we’re on day 2 now. The standard itinerary is two days but we added an extra day to go at a more relaxed pace. As the tour company we booked with didn’t get enough numbers to run the tour themselves, we joined an existing tour group with another (bit cheaper) provider. I had organised tips in envelopes…

Why can’t I get an auto loan under 14%? My car broke down and I need a new one. I’m trying to find a good lender. I’ve applied through Chase and MyAutoLoan and both gave me offers with an interest rate around 14.7%. Everything recent I can find online says that’s “deep subprime” territory. My credit is average (670ish). I have minimal black marks on it (1 or 2 late payments from like…

Can Stablecoins Get Past Their Instability?

What’s cheapest way to get to Mombasa, Kenya from Hanoi, Vietnam just as the title says. I’ve done some preliminary search; there’s no direct flight and most of them are self transfer (which i don’t mind but it’s annoying). I’ve figured maybe going from Hanoi to Mumbai but then I’d have to get a visa, for essentially just to enter and exit so i can self transfer. I don’t know. I’m just confused and overwhelme…
