"Alex's death on 6 September 2007, at age 31, came as a surprise, as the average life span for a grey parrot in captivity is 45 years. His last words ("You be good, see you tomorrow. I love you") were the same words that

I would also vastly prefer a Japan-style rail solution to come to America vs. a tunneled car solution, but I feel like the author does not understand how design iteration works. Yes, their very first prototype tunnel had paving problems. An

I graduated from Northeastern University in Boston this year. (Go huskies!) Freshman year, all students have the same residence halls. (with some edge cases) After that, the residence halls were priced according to their age. There were cat

As a recent grad I spend two grand of my company’s money every week traveling to new and interesting places all around the country to solve interesting problems. I don’t pay rent and everything I need is free Monday to Friday. On the weeken
