Happy 4th: Does a true gentleman order boneless or traditional buffalo wings?

Happy 4th: Does a true gentleman order boneless or traditional buffalo wings?

There are many things that gentlemen think about in terms of sophistication. Types of food to order is one of those things. Many gentlemen ask if they should order boneless buffalo wings or traditional buffalo wings. Most gentlemen prefer to order boneless buffalo wings for three reasons. Of course, not every gentleman is the same, so keep that in mind.

They are less messy

A true gentleman does not eat messy foods in public. Traditional buffalo wings tend to be very messy, especially when restaurants add extra sauces to the buffalo wings. You must use your hands when eating traditional wings. Also, you must avoid eating the bones inside of traditional wings. Because these things, gentlemen prefer to eat boneless wings.

They are easier to eat

It is not polite to look barbaric when eating in public. With boneless wings, gentlemen can pick the wing up with a fork and bite tiny pieces off of it. There are no bones in the wing to prevent your fork from effectively picking the wing up. Boneless wings allow gentlemen to be polite in public and focus on their party rather than their food. Also, for obvious reasons, you do not have to worry about digesting bones with boneless wings, thus making them easier to eat.

They are less dangerous

There are some dangers associated with traditional wings. The bones in traditional wings can easily be digested and cause internal problems in a person’s body. Some wings, if improperly cooked, can cause food poisoning. Boneless wings do not have any bones, and the chances of getting food poisoning from boneless wings are far less than traditional wings.

These are three reasons why gentlemen prefer boneless wings over traditional wings. Of course, every gentleman is different, and some of them may not feel that these are valid reasons. Preference certainly plays a role in a gentlemen’s decisions.

How Tim Ferris (4 Hour Work Week) Outsources his life

How Tim Ferris (4 Hour Work Week) Outsources his life

The concept is simple. It is one we all use every day. We pay people to change our oil, cook our meals, and clean our homes because our time is better spent on other things. Outsourcing is as old as man. What Tim Ferris has done with his 4 Hour Work Week is extend that concept to running a small business.

What makes the paradigm revolutionary is that until the 4 Hour Work Week hit the world’s consciousness, the vast majority of people considered outsourcing to be simply a way of exchanging money for boring tasks. Exchanging money for boring tasks that make more money creates an entirely new ball game.

A business person using the 4 Hour Work Week method gets all the advantages of having a crew of quality employees at his or her beck and call without the paperwork and hassle of actually hiring full time staff. Every business has two components: The brain that guides the venture and the hands that carry out the day-to-day work of making ends meet.

The difficulty for a single person trying to make a mark on the world is that we are each limited to two hands per brain. By using outsourcing, we can hire additional hands to do repetitive but necessary tasks, freeing our brain to focus entirely on the more satisfying (and profitable!) work of guiding the business.

Having your cake and eating it too – outsourcing your life allows you to do exactly that.

Cut Both Your Home Line and Cell Phone Line?

Cut Both Your Home Line and Cell Phone Line?

When cell phones became wildly popular, many people started to limit the amount of service on their home phone plan or eliminate it altogether. The culture has changed and people will generally always have a cell phone with them, so there truly s no need for the home phone. The next step is to cut the cord completely. (Not that anyone has a phone with a cord anymore, but you get the idea.)

Technologies have advanced greatly in the last few years, and all of the communication that is needed can be found on the internet. When we need to find something, we search online. When we need to get in touch with a friend or business associate, we send an email or a text message. And in the event that we actually need to talk to someone, there are VOIP programs, video chat and free phone services that do no need a phone in the traditional sense of the word.

When it comes to maintaining a busy lifestyle and not getting bogged down in the details, cutting the phone cords is one easy way of simplifying. Once the cord is cut, you won’t look back.

What’s Better?: Courtside seats or Suite Box

What’s Better?: Courtside seats or Suite Box

Nothing beats seeing your favorite NBA team in person. It is not hard to get caught up in the excitement when the crowd roars after LeBron James throws down a one-hand jam or Kobe Bryant drains a back-breaking jumper with a second or two left on the shot clock.

It is even better if you are have a front row seat on the action. Everyone thinks being super rich means enjoying the suite life. The fact is that true basketball fans will want to be as close as they can get to the court, no matter how many millions their personal net worth reaches.

The biggest advantage of sitting in courtside seats is getting a better view and feel of the game than just about anyone else. You can hear the trash talk between players. You can eavesdrop on what the coaches say in the huddle or chuckle at what they yell at the referees. You can verbally joust with opposing players and coaches. In many ways, when you sit courtside, it is almost like you are a part of the game.

Being up in the suite has its advantages for sure. Fine wine and good food are there to sample. You can kick back and relax in an easy chair and watch the game in style. Of course, the arena’s crazy atmosphere just does not translate well through the suite box.

Perhaps the best solution is to incorporate the best of both worlds. Buy a suite box and tickets for courtside seats. Then you can sit courtside during the game and enjoy the suite during the pregame and halftime. It is a happy compromise.

How to get a fake US passport if trapped outside of the US

How to get a fake US passport if trapped outside of the US

You don’t realize the importance of a passport until you find yourself without one. It is your ID, freedom pass and go-to-the-front-of-the-line card.

Here is how you get a fake US passport if trapped outside of the US:

A) Be willing to meet with unsavory characters:

Fake passports are not sold in stores or airport kiosks. You need to be willing to meet with unsavory characters. You won’t find these people in travel agencies. You need to hit the bars, clubs and back alleys.

In some countries, these characters are easy to find. A conversation with a taxi driver is all you need to set up a meeting.

Ask around. But be subtle and relaxed. These characters are used to dealing with other unsavory characters. If they think you are setting them up, they will immediately sever the deal.

B) Be willing to spend money:

If you want a passport that looks legitimate, you’re going to have to pay for it. This is a business. The people doing the negotiations will be setting the prices; they can afford to. There are always travelers that lose their passports or can’t get one officially.

The market is always booming.

C) Be willing to take a risk:

You are outside of your native country without a passport. Your bank account can’t support you forever. You need to get back home. It’s going to take some risks.

You have dealt with unsavory characters. You are willing to spend money. Now comes the real gamble. It’s time to act and do what needs to be done.

Getting the passport will be risky. But not getting home is even riskier.

Finally home

Nothing is more comforting than returning home. It is a feeling of relief, recognition and safety. How you get there is up to you.

*** We don’t recommend ever falsifying any documents. This is for entertainment only.

What Does the New T-Mobile 42 MB/S Mean for You?

What Does the New T-Mobile 42 MB/S Mean for You?

This year, T-Mobile began a multi-stage plan to implement 42 MB/S 4G coverage in select markets for select devices. This past May, they expanded this coverage from three select cities to a much wider audience, implementing coverage in 55 areas around the country. This expansion includes many major cities, including Chicago, Phoenix, and Denver. With this project, T-Mobile is boasting the fastest 4G mobile speeds available. But how does it affect you?

With T-Mobile lacking devices that take advantage of 42 MB/S speeds, it likely doesn’t affect you at all. Well-known as a mobile phone company, T-Mobile has yet to announce, much less release, a smart phone that will be capable of utilizing the 42 MB/S coverage. For instance, one of the newest T-Mobile branded phones, the HTC Sensation 4G, is only capable of speeds of 14.4 MB/S. Currently, T-Mobile seems to be targeting broadband USB modems as the primary tech they’ll be marketing to utilize their new 42 MB/S speeds. One such modem, the Rocket 3.0, is one of the only devices capable of reaching such speeds.

Even if T-Mobile offered a wide array of 42 MB/S devices, the effect still would be fairly small. A large part of this is due to the fact that 42 MB/S is just a theoretically possible maximum speed. This means that many users would never be able to reach download speeds that come close to the 42 MB/S touted. Further still, while coverage for 55 areas sounds like a lot, it is mostly relegated to major cities. This is great for travelers and businessman, but this would leave many rural and suburban users out in the cold. Factor in that these major metropolitan cities are also likely to see much higher traffic, the speeds would be even lower during peak usage times.
