The Wolf of Wallstreet was based on a true story so stuff does work like that. It also took 10 years before he was indicted.

Do you have a Microcenter near you? Their prices are usually the best I've found. They have some shippable gaming laptops that just barely miss the specs or price target you have from what I saw but it's worth looking into.

Similar to Music theory. It's not absolutely necessary to write good music, but understanding it allows you to be more purposeful in your writing and know why certain things work and when to break the "rules" for an effect.

This is you donating to the non-profit. You get the tax break, the company does not. I'm so sick of this misinformation because nobody actually donates on their own, which is why non-profits partner with companies for fundraising.

It's on your receipt, you get the tax break. As simple as that.

"Hey Bob, I see you hired a plumber, what's going on?"

"I heard the sound of a leak in our bathroom wall. Hired a plumber to find it and fix it."

"You're such a dumbass, Bob."

They have been known to live in lakes, and when they do they dig dens under the shoreline.

The reason they don't like the sound of running water is the same reason we don't like to hear the sound of unexplained running water in our homes, it's a sign of a leak. The only difference is for them it's instinctual, and for us we understand the consequences of a leak in our home.
