Tips and Information on...everything!
Question from Oliveen: I’d like to ask a really dumb question (because I’m a dummy when it comes to technology lol).
I’m always seeing computers from HP, Dell, Acer and most every other computer manufacturer being referred to as a PC but no one ever refers to their Mac as a PC.
Why is that?

Question from Lawrence: I was trying to decide what to order at a Thai restaurant the other day and I noticed that most of the dishes on the menu were spicy (as in hot).
That got me to wondering why people from countries with hot climates seem to prefer spicy foods.
You’d think something spicy would be the last thing you’d want to eat if you lived in a place where it’s hot all the time.
So what’s the deal with people in hot countries wanting to eat spicy foods? Am I missing something?

Question from Rodney: I’ve been reading your blogs for a long time now Rick, and I’ve noticed that you write about just about everything.
But one thing I’ve never seen you write about is politics. Why is that?
I love your perspective on so many topics and I’m sure you could make some great arguments about our country’s politicians.
I don’t know, maybe you’re just not a political kind of person. But I’d be surprised if that’s the case.

Question from Glenn: I love “Buffalo Wings” and I eat a mess of them at least once a week.
The other day I was eating some wings and I got to wondering why they’re called “Buffalo Wings” instead of “Chicken Wings” since that’s what they really are.
Do you know the answer? I’m just curious. LOL

Question from Melissa: I bought a new car back in 2014 and it’s been insured by the same company all this time.
I know my car has depreciated quite a bit over the years but my insurance premiums are higher now than they were when the car was brand new.
That makes no sense to me.
It seems like the premiums should decrease along with the value of the car since the insurance company would have to pay out less as the car gets older.
Why didn’t my premium go down along with the value of the car?
