Well, we are native to the US and have toyed with the idea of moving to the EU. I can get legacy citizenship in either Greece or Italy or both and either passport would enable us to live anywhere in the EU. People living in most of SE Asia would obviously be way ahead in the US. That's why there...

No idea since I didn't look for or find that level of granularity. Simple fact is that about 50% more Americans emigrate to Europe than Europeans emigrate to the US. I should add that the numbers are pretty small, around 50K Europeans coming to the US and around 79K Americans going to Europe.

It's hard to find good numbers on this, but the best I could find show that around 50K EU citizens migrate to the US each year to the US each year with about 80K US citizens migrating to the EU. It's pretty easy for an American to gain residence status in various EU countries and legacy...

There is no "University of Ohio". There are both the Ohio State University in Columbus and Ohio University in Athens.

Interesting. All race teams are sneaky and all cheat when they can. That this became common practice in F1 is no surprise and does seem kind of clever.

A little silly, but harmless. Most of us who have reached a certain age are no longer too worried about what others think of things as superficial as what some would consider dated eyeglasses or shoes. For all we know this little piece was written by some aging layabout from his mother's...

Yep, if you travel to Europe, you'll see this. These people are not poor and their cities are typically really nice and very walkable with plenty of transit options as well. They are not the car-infested urban hellholes we tend to have here, where car ownership is more a necessity than a luxury...

Looks like a solid choice now, with the battery pack problem finally addressed. The interior looks inviting.

Neither is especially appealing, but A does look a bit like a budget motel with that huge porte cochere, flat roof and limited fenestration. A does have generally more luxe interior features, although the kitchen is a bit overwrought. Neither home would be considered an exemplar of good taste.

If we do the math, this certainly grossly understates the proportion of world population earning the equivalent of 30K USD or more. World population is now around 8.2 billion, so 1% of that would be 82 million. Does anyone believe that only that number of people worldwide earn at least 30K a...

Everything has to begin somewhere. At least Honda didn't have the thing blow up on the pad and then claim it was all planned.

When I saw this on the news I also thought it smelled a little ripe. If you had 100M in jewelry to move, would you throw it into the back of a truck with two guys who thought it okay to stop wherever and gab a bite and a nap with no security escort? I'd think you'd pay the few hundred grand to...

Really sloppy work. I could do better myself and I'm an accountant by trade. I'd call the generator contractor who sent these clowns and ask for remedial work. I'd also call the local code official and ask for an inspection. Since I'll assume that you've already paid for the whole install...

Not so sure about that. I think that an earlier jet airliner would be far more complex to operate for the flight crew and the techs. Current types provide a lot of help to each. A 707 or a DC-8, not so much.

It is rarely worth cheaping out a hotel and it is often worth spending a bit more. For a grand a night, I'd expect spectacular, and you'll probably get it. If a grand is no more than a blip in your expenditures, then why not? There are many of us here who would not be considered wealthy who...

That sure is what it looks like. The question is why? Crew errors, FOD, fuel or something not seen before generic to the type?

I dunno, the 767 seems good enough that it's a favorite with the package freight haulers and Fedex and UPS are taking delivery of the last new builds even now, with every decent retired 767 airliner a prime candidate for freighter conversion as well. The -400 was offered to meet the desires of...

I don't think that the oil filter is going bad at exactly 5K either.

Well, the twin pilot does always have the option of pulling back the good engine if he gets down to VMC and can't pitch down to increase airspeed but he's then flying a not very good glider, although at least under control and a controlled crash off airport is usually survivable, while a fully...

I'm pretty sure wifey knew exactly what she was spending and she also knows that it won't kill your finances to do it. The occasional splurge is fun and usually worth it. I know that it's more fun to buy an S-class Benz at auction for well under a grand and bring it home to discover that it...
