It’s great to be fully equipped to face any situation that you could possibly find yourself in.

Just looking at the picture and not reading the labels, I thought the fuel bottle was the water bottle. ...I probably wouldn't make a very good camper.
How To Move With Friends
If you’re asking friends to help you move, have everything packed and stacked and ready to be loaded before they show up. Pay them with food and drinks. You should be completely ready to go even if you hire company movers, because you pay more the longer it takes to get you moved.
Types Of Firewood
With EPA stoves moisture content should be 16-20%, Oak splits will take 2-4 years to season. I heat primarily with wood, I also try to keep 3 years ahead CSS so I always have a supply of seasoned wood. I burn different species depending on outdoor temperature so I don't waste high BTU wood when I just need to take the chill off. Never take someones word for it when buying firewood that they say is 'Seasoned". Moisture meters are cheap, check it yourself.
How Marginal Tax Rates Work
This is the UK tax system. It is not quite accurate in that it doesn't show National Insurance payments, which is another form of tax, but it has a lower threshold and upper limit, meaning that the middle tax band is more like 33%. The 40% tax band starts after N.I. ends. There is also talk of a 50% band for really high earners. What annoys me is that stamp duty (a tax on house purchases) doesn't work the same way - if you go over the threshold, you pay a percentage on the total - which is really unfair for any properties valued close to the thresholds.

I am from Texas. Some years ago, about twenty, I was in California and I was going to cook supper. I decided to buy a couple of porterhouse steaks. So, I went to the butcher's. I asked the man behind the counter for a couple of porterhouses, about three pounds, total. He looked at me and aid "you're from Texas, right?" And I said "yes" and he said "thought so, we don't sell those in California, I have some nice round steak, no fat, but we tenderize it." I said "what steaks do you have?" And he said "honey, this is California, they eat Prime Rib, hamburger [less that 2% fat], round steak and some roasts. Mostly chicken and fish." I left.
