On a related credit card note, did you know that Visa & MasterCard prohibit businesses (who use their cards) from requiring a minimum credit card purchase? I know I've been told before, "You can't use a credit card here unless you're making a purchase of over $25" and at work we had to stop putting "minimum $3 purchase for credit cards" in our sign
 

Becoming a Texan (Part I) [blog comment]

[30 March 2011]
Okay, I will tell you — by far the BIGGEST pain about getting a Texas Drivers' License is the wait time. I don't know how they do it in Illinois, but in Ohio they take your picture and the new license prints out instantly. In Texas, they take your picture, and the picture gets sent to Austin, and then you wait...for 4-6 weeks for the Capitol

100% renewable energy is great (that's what we have, too!), but really it just means that the amount of "clean" electricity being poured into the overall grid will increase. "Buying renewable energy does not mean that electricity is coming directly from wind farms or other clean energy sources to your home — it is impossible to direct any sp

"Tout" is usually used in advertising lingo, and it does have the show-off connotation that I think you're looking for. (That's not an insult).
