Apple absolutely attempts to present itself as a morally/ethically superior company. See, for example, from just 7 months ago: https://www.cnbc.com/2020/05/31/apple-ceo-tim-cook-email-to-... Or, re the e

Maybe I’m jaded as an attorney, but aren’t most professional jobs relatively confidential? Thinking of things like ad agencies, insurance, finance, law, teaching (what specific students are doing), any tech job with clients... you can’t go

That’s the first documentary I have ever seen on Amazon with more 1-star reviews than 5-star... is it any good?

This comment demonstrates one if the #1 errors in assessing scientific statements: theories are fact based. Scientific literacy is so bad most people still don’t get that (and I’m not saying that to slander you, it just seems like an abun

Different strokes, of course. Find the balance : ) I think it’s healthy to realize that even things/chores you want to do and would enjoy doing you may be able to pay to have done both sooner and more professionally, allowing you to pa

Pretty much any mammal that is around 40+ lbs could seriously fuck that unarmed human up if it wanted or needed to. You’re not winning a hand-to-hoof fight with a deer or a mountain goat. The fact is that pit bulls are responsible for the s

For sentencing, almost anything can be presented to the court to enhance/decrease (aggravating/mitigating circumstances, in legal jargon) the sentence, regardless of if the thing presented has been proven or would even be admissib

Medford, OR. USA. I’ve been here 2.5 years and my faucet clogged about 8 months after I moved in to the house... with blue plastic particles. They have continued to show-up in my faucet filters every since, so it was not a one off incident.

Personally, I filter all the water I drink after it leaves the tap where I currently live... most of the population can’t afford additional filtration or has no idea that it may even be necessary. That’s what infuriates me.

This is a big one. I have been making diligent efforts to buy everything cotton and wool I possibly can, and telling retailers why I want cotton and wool products. Wool is an especially good alternative for active wear given its natural ant

I also want to know how much I am drinking - the mesh filter in my faucet catches a significant amount of visible flakes of plastic, ones big enough that that I can roll them between my fingers. I think it goes without saying there is a l

I had this same thing happen with a battery from OWC that I dropped in a 2015 MacBook Air. It oddly works perfectly other than rebooting itself and turning itself on when closed. And I followed all the installation/system reset instruc

I had a husky a few years ago that managed to find a dead animal and roll in the rotting guts every time we went to the beach. The worst was when she B-lined for a rancid dead seal and rolled in it. She loved it, but the smell was almost as

I really enjoy Mark’s clearly endless love for MtG. He writes and speaks with such joy for the storylines, history, inside jokes, and fesses up to errors (occasionally). He is constantly trying to improve the game and make it grow in intere

Diamond and flower giving are two (of many) things that illuminate our simple animal beginnings as a species. People chuckle watching a Bowerbird spend days collecting and curating color coordinated piles of petals to attract a mate yet don

Mr. Trebek brought generations together, at least mine. Jeopardy! and The Sound of Music are the two things my grandparents (b. 1920 and 1921, now deceased) and I (b. 1981) could always watch together and enjoy. Even when I was a 17 y/

Twitter has nothing to do with free speech. Twitter is free to decide who can and cannot use their platform and run their TOSs how they see fit. The government has taken no steps to curtail Mr. Bannon’s free speech. If they had, I would be

There is, but when you consider that at least a small portion of Trump’s base and the people this Bannon ghoul appeal to are brazen and stupid enough to plan and prepare to kidnap a state’s governor you need to be pretty careful about what

Just to be clear - the “federal legalization” of same-sex marriage came from the Supreme Court, not actual Federal Law, so it is definitely at risk of being overruled with the new court membership. The best our federal government could do w

The mail in ballot is probably the most secure element of the whole voting system. So long as your address is up-to-date with the Dept. of Motor Vehicles you are sent a barcoded/secure ballot and return envelope. Multiple states have b

Absolutely! I am worried about the entire world (for what my worry is worth). I simply currently live in the US, so it’s the only place I have significant first-hand knowledge of. I in no way meant to imply that anywhere else was less deser

This is fantastic news. I do worry about the US though. As far as I can tell huge numbers of people are still treating this like it is nothing. I base this, very expertly, on the sheer number of large Halloween parties I was invited to toni

You can also buy straight caffeine powder to try to make your own drinks. I made a few attempts at creating my own energy drinks with my Sodastream, flavoring, and caffeine powder... it never quite worked though. The powder just tastes like

We should pay... the price of cows killed by wolves should be priced in to the sales price of beef, which is way too cheap right now as it is. This is a super simple calculation.

I thought the episode was interesting because (to me) Alex Jones made it clear that he is truly a grifter and not a real kook. The former being worse, I think, as he appears to intentionally take advantage of people with diminished capaciti

Election polls are almost always right for the only ultimate answer that matters: who is going to win[0]. They also accurately predict the margin of victory. Same link. Polls, in general, are typically measuring tendencies or preferences, w
