   I think Best Buy's strategy is to just get people into their stores, hoping they will walk away with more than the thing they came to price match. Kohl's has adopted an interesting strategy recently of becoming an Amazon drop-off

   Ah, yes. I have seen this movie over a dozen times, with my first viewing at about age 4. George C Scott's performance is more sublime than the command presence of the real Patton.

   I think this is referring to his list of "Movies You Must See Before You Die". On that note, I should mention "Gates of Heaven", which is part of that list. A compelling documentary on animal cemeteries, by Errol Morri

   How is this any different than filtering out obscenity or hate speech? The content is objectionable and goes against the rules of both social networks. Trump is getting a pass because he holds the highest government office. Plenty of oth

   By secondary infections, they are talking about pneumonia. Not a recurrence of symptoms. In fact, the article points out that 61 of these cases did have symptoms. What exactly those symptoms were, I'd like to know. Also, I am wond

   Wait, are you saying this meme that you posted comes from the banks during the height of the Occupy movement? Or if not, how did their talking points / PR reach the undiscriminating masses and become this? I remember this meme, but a
