Sure, picking an individual stock is basically gambling, but investing in index funds is basically betting on the house. And the house always wins.*

To your second point, it's because most of them hate the US and/or capitalism, and want to see it implode.

Wasn't that before they bought out Sprint, though?

I'm not who you originally asked, but one of the things other than torrenting that I use a VPN for is bypassing arbitrary geo-restrictions on websites. A lot of (mostly US) websites don't allow you to access them if you aren't in the country, or in some cases, if you don't live in the right state.

Ha, yes. Office Space is a strong contender.

Maybe it's just because my mid teens were the late 90s, but my vote would have to be for either Half Baked or American Pie.

If you're not a contractor, power tools. Buy the harbor freight version first when you need it. If you end up using it enough to break it, then you get a quality one.

Well, using a mobile hotspot will tie the IP address to your phone, so probably not a great idea if your name is listed on the account. Honestly, just use a quality VPN and you'll be fine with your home connection.

Serious question, but is a cement mixer actually full of concrete and not cement then?
