Comment Re:Post-secondary education is a ripoff in the US (Score 2) 222

Disclaimer: I work in public higher ed.

Using the average is misleading. Private and high priced specialty programs (like medical and law) throw the average off. They should be using more 'typical' numbers like median but those don't make it as disturbing. I'm sure there are some people getting degrees that have no direct correlation to a job except for teaching in their field of study. However, a degree of just about any kind can usually help you get a job but if you can't then maybe it isn't the degree that is the problem.

Also, there are plenty of lower cost options for getting a college degree if you are willing to attend public colleges and universities (preferably local). However, if you insist on going to specific schools because they have a great team, greek life, family alma matter, etc then you are probably gonna pay more... a lot more.

Roku should just make it so their TVs have a naked Roku on a card you can replace/upgrade down the road if you want.

I really hoped TVs would have some type of standard slot for Roku, Apple, Google etc ... one might say that's what the "stick" devices are but those are the low end of the experience spectrum.

One of our favorite benefits is at home charging so the car i ready to go each day. This means never having to go somewhere to "fill up" in the morning before our commute to work because one of us forgot. It seems like a little thing at first but my wife tends to run late and that extra detour to the gas station on the way to work sometimes leads to a much longer commute time.

There is also the potential of "vampire" draw adding up over a few days. Features like Sentry Mode and Cabin Overheat Protection can draw down a battery more than expected over the course of a few days. Of course you can disable these things but ...

Personally I think hybrids (maybe PHEVs) are probably the better choice for people that cannot charge at home.
