I believe they were exaggerating a bit. Water pipes are typically buried deep enough in the ground that the water gets very cold but not frozen. The pressure in water lines isn't high enough to really drop the freezing point of the wat

Do you have a significant other or friend network? Might I suggest putting down the work and computer and go out? If you're pulling in 20k/month, just keep banking it and after your 9/10 hours of work a day get out. Find some

My friends who work at Ford all report a general feeling of being over the dealership. They’re just as sick of the dealer shenanigans as we consumers are and it sounds like they’re working hard on cutting them out. This didn’t have to be—bu

I think people love to treat the British Museum like some sort of mustache twiddling villains but in reality its just run by people that are intensely devoted to caring for the collection and history. I have the utmost faith that if this gr

The hospital I work at requires physicians to file their schedules 8 months in advance. The only deviation from that is for emergencies. Unofficially there’s a lot of flex for them, but that’s the official administration line.
