College Conspiracy and United States Hyperinflation

by

In recent previous posts I have discussed and illustrated with figures about the increasingly high costs of college and education in the United States. https://blog.teethremoval.com/astroturfing-and-how-your-thoughts-are-being-manipulated-by-corporate-interests/ This is an extreme and real problem for the youth and young people today. Students graduating from medical school have an average debt of around $158,000 and the average debt of those graduating from undergraduate college is over $27,000 in the U.S. I have discussed how this is causing a larger and larger amount of students to go into service industries such as the financial sector which do not create real value for society and also to pursue jobs they are not particularly passionate about. This is a very serious issue for those young people today and they should be outraged that the older generations in America have left them in shambles. In fact there … Read more

Coupons.com Save Money While You Buy Food

by

I have recently been using a website called coupons.com frequently whenever I am going to go to the grocery store. I feel like if you have a few extra minutes that you can really save some money while you shop for food at your grocery store. Coupons.com allows you to search the current available coupons in your area. You then can select which ones you like, also known as clip, and then you can install a simple piece of software in order to print out the coupons. The coupons from Coupons.com work just like normal coupons you would find in your local newspaper. The difference is is that you print them out at home with your printer. If you don’t regularly get a newspaper then Coupons.com really makes it convenient to still save money on your groceries. I personally don’t … Read more

Portable Applications

by

I recently have grown interested in looking into portable applications. This is because it seems as if eventually the operating system on my computer becomes corrupted or infected with malware. Thus I usually end up formating each computer I own every year or so. This helps improve the speed, but requires some time to reinstall all my old programs and download software updates. In addition, having a portable application allows you to use it on any computer. All you need is a USB drive and the portable applications on it. Portable applications require no installation, so simply all one has to do is click the .exe file of the app and it will load. I currently do not have a USB drive with enough space to hold all of the portable applications I would like. Even so, purchasing one will … Read more

I was lucky enough to get an invite to http://www.playce.com/. I have several invites to give you to anyone who might be interested. plaYce is “Making the World a Playground” by providing a 3D virtual world for games and social interaction, based on the real world. plaYce  reconstructs the world in 3D and streams it with high frame rate from within your browser.

A word of caution: you will need pretty recent hardware for your computer to play. And you need gaming hardware … Read more
