    U.S. Car Rental Insurance

    That sounds like what I'm looking for but we only need it for maybe 30-40 days a year. That'd be 720/40 or $18/day which is cheaper than buying coverages from the car rental companies.

    U.S. Car Rental Insurance

    Credit card coverage is very light. I even have a premium policy with American Express but it has no liability coverage and medical for us only goes up to 15k as a secondary coverage (I have Medicare as primary but my wife doesnt). Is comprehensive available for car rentals?

    Anybody else notice coffee recently not tasting good?

    Until recently we had several options for good coffee at home. Even the instant coffees were good. Our French Press was even better. If we wanted an excellent coffee we went to a coffee roaster and our beans freshly ground. But in the last couple of weeks all the coffees seem to be bitter...

    Anyone interested in looking after a puppy that was hurt in an accident?

    He is adorable. If I am not mistaken, in the last video he was using his left-rear foot and dragging his right-rear foot. In this video he is using his right foot and dragging the left. If I am correct, it seems that both feet are starting to work.

    Roku, Chromecast with Google TV, Amazon Fire Stick in Argentina

    Yes, would I have better streaming if I connected the router to the tv by ethernet cable? If I had an Android box, directly connected to the tv it would eliminate transmitting from my computer to a device. Would that help my streaming?

    Currently my tv uses a wireless signal from my router. Would I have better streaming if they were connected by HDMI? What about an Android box connected by HDMI?
