State Sales Tax Holidays 2013

In Missouri, some of the local towns and counties opt out of the tax holiday and still charge their local taxes. You do not pay the 4.225% state sales tax, but you will pay 2.5% to 4.5% depending on the locality.

New Haswell build

I have a mini-tower, which can fit a ATX with an inch to spare. I may switch to an smaller case if I can find a room to live in near school, and lug my computer back and forth. But I will probably get a laptop.

Are you buying Haswell?

Already ordered. However, my Q6600 machine has been having crash problems for months and I think I hear the hard drive starting to fail. My only questions was K or non-K.

Choice of new vehicle

Yes. The choice is dictated by circumstance: I live in a rural area, and any Subaru or VW dealers are over 100 miles away. The window of opportunity to change vehicles went from around this summer to this weekend rather abruptly, so the time to shop for a car at a distant dealer was not...

Choice of new vehicle

I am moving from a Jeep Cherokee to something which does not use as much gas (I am going from driving 25-50 miles a week to 500-750). I have looked at the Escape; should I look more?

Choice of new vehicle

If you could have your choice between a Ford Edge or a Ford Fusion (both the base models), which would you choose? Or would you want a third option?

Texas hospital will not hire fat people

This could be a stealth way of discriminating against older workers and minorities. Statistically, the average 25 year-old should be less likely to be obese than the average 45 year-old. Also, more African-Americans and Hispanic-Americans, especially women, could be obese in that area versus the...

What happens to Student loan limits if you take 10 credit hours for a semester?

Depends on the school and the loan. Check your school's financial aid web page for information about the loan policies. The most important thing is to check with your financial aid office and be sure that your course load does not trigger the start of the six-month grace period for repayment...

WWII: What if D-Day didnt succeed?

Actually, the US might have taken a severe turn to the right. The right would have used any ceasefire as propaganda against liberals in the US, and the higher body count caused by a Soviet exit could have made Americans more receptive to this talk. I do not think that the war would have lasted...
