It's the main reason for corporate structure in the first place. To shield individuals from personal liability. CEO tell VP who tells Senior Manager who tells Department Manager who tells worker bee to do something. Everyone has an out

And even if it did, does anyone honestly think that Russia has not been using the US media to try to "influence" elections since at least the end of WWII? Not that it makes it OK, but let's be realistic and understand that th

Politicians have pretty much always been that way. The press ignored it/didn't report it back then. JFK and LBJ were flagrant womanizers.

I have all of Facebook's domains routed to 0.0.0.0 in my hosts file. So their "like" buttons don't even appear for me.

Because most people really aren't affected. I've experienced no negative consequences of the Equifax hack, nor several other major leaks that I was included in (OMB to name one). I'm not happy about the situation, but it&#x

Sales people want sales, for the least investment of their time. If you come in wanting to buy an EV, that's what they are going to sell you. If you come in wanting "a car," sure they will try to steer you to whatever is curr

In a disc brake system, the brake fluid level will become lower due to normal wear on the pads. Often an indicator that pads are worn is that the low brake fluid warning light will illuminate on the dashboard. If you top up the fluid at tha

Modern ICE cars need very little drivetrain maintenance. Fluid changes are about the only thing most new cars need for a hundred thousand miles. There will still be maintenance work on EVs for all of the non-drivetrain stuff that cars have.

No you don't. As a single parent you don't have time, and kids don't appreciate and in fact often don't like elaborate or gourmet food. Learn to make half-a-dozen simple dishes from memory. Pasta with meat sauce. Simple

It's like when you're in the mob, and are called in to a meeting with the capo and see that there's a big plastic tarp on the floor.

Yeah it really depends on where petty theft falls in the spectrum of criminal activity in that area. In a quiet small town it might get a detective assigned. In a lower-class urban neighborhood, well the cops have bigger fish to fry.

Most people who learned to program on batch-oriented systems developed those habits. When you had to wait hours or even overnight for your compile to run, you spent a lot of time at your desk checking the code for syntax errors, and running

My dad was left-handed. He'd use ball-point pens that didn't smear, and when he was taking notes he'd flip the notebook so that the binding was on the right.

How old is that? I'm over 50 and I still can't get into Shakespeare. Watching a performance is OK, though not something I'd choose to do on my own, but reading the plays? Can't get into it at all.

Another way to deal with Comcast is to go in to their local customer service office. The people there are real, live in the same town, etc and generally can solve any issue and will do so with no BS. At least that's my experience. When

Well people do take on debt for things that are quickly worth nothing. For example, you buy groceries with a credit card. You eat them; they are gone. But you still have the debt. Or you buy a car. It quickly loses value, but you still have
