Thanks for the suggestion. I'm so financially ignorant that I couldn't tell you what makes a credit union different from a bank or a credit card company. :ÞI'm sure Orthos or someone else will correct me with the finer details, but:
A bank provides a full suite of financial services (checking account, savings account, loans, etc.) and is a for-profit organization. They have the advantage of being ubiquitous. Everywhere you go in the U.S., you'll find a Bank of America or a Wells Fargo.
A credit union is a nonprofit bank. At least that's my impression. And you have to somehow qualify to join. The advantages are lower fees and better interest rates because they're not so worried about their profit margin. The disadvantages are that branches are few and far between, and most banks will charge you a fee if they have to deal with one, because they don't like them.
A credit card is just a company that will loan you money at a huge interest rate on your honesty alone. They make money two ways: They skim 1.5% of all transactions (paid for by the merchant), and they charge you around 15% annual interest on any money you don't pay back at the end of the month. They can be awesome (we get 1% of our purchases back in "Disney Dollars" from our Chase Disney card), but if you don't pay off the balance each month, it's painful.
cool!
I found a credit union that's for state employees in my state, for which I think I qualify as a student employee at my state university.

Hoard it, spend it, or feed it into an endless cycle of attempting to gain more money.
That's really about all you can do with money.
It's just that pretty much everything else in the entire world requires either spending money to gain, or hoarding money until you have enough to safely spend on gaining what you want while still having more hoarded aside to spend on other things you require.

why do they say over and over on ebay for this type of go board that the board has 18x18 lines when in the picture it is clearly 19x19? I can only think of several possibilities:
Manufacturers originally reported the board being 18x18, either as a typo or because they might not actually know anything about go counted the spaces instead of the lines; and this was repeated by people who don't know anything about go. Since this is a cheap magnetic board with polypropylene pieces this is possible.

got an email about a Bad Thing, felt was oddly calm about it. Maybe having something to do with the fact that I suspected it might happen.
I remember the last time I got an email about this same sort of Bad Thing (which turned out to be a mistake), I think I was almost calm about it as well, which is surprising as I was in the lair of the dragon at the time and worse off psychologically than I am now.

Erm. The vast majority of people in the Western world work for profit. They spend their money on living. Mostly shoes and burritos.
Except for those of us who work in finance. We convert the profits into bricks of $100 bills and use them for kindling.

shoes and food and so forth are expenses, I wouldn't consider those expenses part of the profit.

It actually is a Pretty Bad Thing. I just don't feel pretty bad about it. Also fortunately it's something that can be turned around, assuming I know how to do it (which haha I don't)
I've failed so hard at so many things in my life so far that all things being equal I've evidently learned how to stoically accept failure--It's being berated/insulted/yelled at by a person of authority over me (or at least someone who is sufficiently intimidating) that ruins me usually.

Now your getting into accounting profits vs economic profits. If a business brings in more revenue than it spends, it is turning an accounting profit that the owner(s) can use for living expenses or whatever. If you want to factor in the cost of living and the opportunity cost of running that business vs doing something else with one's time and money, you are raising the question of economic profit - that is, does the accounting profit cover cost of living and normal investment return for the capital required to run the business. If it profits beyond that point, it invites competitors to join the industry and undercut the prices of your business, until (theoretically and assuming no barriers to entry within the industry) the whole industry reaches equilibrium at 0 economic profit.

I have so many reasons why I favorite posts.
Sometimes it's simply agreeing.
Sometimes it's because "you have a good point" even if I don't necessarily agree. Kind of a "pay attention to this person" signal.
Sometimes it's because it made me laugh.
Sometimes it's because I want to find the post again later. (Though Lists are better for that.)
And sometimes I'm not exactly sure why but it feels like the right thing to do.

Partially. And also: you seem curious and are asking the right questions. I always thought Econ would be dull, but the more I learn the more fascinated I become about how it all works. If you're curious, dive in - the more you learn, the more questions you will have.

I don't know, I only saw the second half of it and never heard the title
It was mostly a story about a fictional group of hunter gatherers in ice age europe with occasional clips of interviews from anthropologists. So mostly historical fiction.

I have a paycheck with 188.02 USD on it. How do I cash this check for free, without paying any of that money, nor any other money in my possession, so that after I cash the check, I am 188.02 USD richer?If you don't have a bank account or direct deposit (and even then, some places and/or some employers charge a DD fee), you're pretty much completely out of luck.There's a bank account somewhere in the world that I opened up as a kid and didn't seriously do anything with since, although something I read on the internet suggests that the same bank the check came from will do it without a fee
So I guess that means I need an account at the same bank?
Depends on the bank. It probably wouldn't be worth the hassle to track all that shit down, though. I'm not sure how it is out by where you live, but around here, Tops grocery stores will cash non-personal checks for $2, and any Wal-Mart in the country will cash non-personal checks for $3.

Sure thing. cutting is what it is called when you place a stone between groups of your enemies stones so as to prevent the enemy from connecting them and forming a stronger group. it's pretty useful for eating into weak boarders on territories, and making it harder for enemy groups to live.

I have realized that I have never lived my life in a practical manner and have no intention of doing anything practical with my life either.
My truest aspirations in life are mainly to study old things, dress up like a viking and swing weapons, pet cats, kill nazis and write/draw my stories, none of which adds up to a practical living, since the life of an anthropologist is hard.
Oh well! This hole was made for me!

People do, I'm just surprised to see it.
Everything I pay electronically except for the occasional cash transaction. I don't even own a checkbook. The only place I tend to see a lot of checks in my day-to-day life is church contributions.

It has occurred to me that it isn't so much that horror has no effect on me so much as I have an unusual reaction.
My reaction to something incredibly disturbing is sometimes to be fascinated by it, investigate it, and learn more about it.

I also wanted to be a Ranger, that one I'm fairly confident I could pull off, it's a contingency plan tho.
I was pretty sure I was going to be a rock star, that was a wash, musically speaking I suck, which I've come to accept.
I was going to be a rising culinary star, did fairly well, made bread for Paul McCartney and Dave Matthews at one place, but at such a young age couldn't stomach the backstabbing and politicking that kitchens are lousy with.
Working with kids or stone cutting and driving heavy machinery are my true calling
