Your doubts may be well founded but there have been many examples of public figures who vocally and publicly denied any wrongdoing when mounds of evidence pointed to them being guilty. Jerry Sandusky comes to mind.

I find it interesting that the national media is more concerned with the hacking and who did it than with what the content of the emails was. If Bernie Sanders was not given a fair shake and that is revealed in emails, why is that not the

Somewhat off-topic but the only way to revoke Spotify Connect access to a device is to change your password, then log out, and back in. I found that until I did the above I could not remove my friend's Denon receiver from the list of d

And the answer is: because all the kids have to be taught the same thing and they all have to be fit to the public school mold. I've heard it said that public schools are great for making factory workers. Of course, in most places pri

Billionaires being in control and being somewhat held in check by regulations and laws is infinitely better than regulators and lawmakers being in control (read: having all the power and money) and being held in check by no one. See North K

"Those false credentials are all the students need to stay in the country. Many seek jobs in the tech industry, and their degrees allow them to remain working in the U.S. for years..." This quote says more to me about the companie

Ok, that makes sense. However, hypothetically speaking if someone wanted to be called a name that I considered to be vulgar or offensive, I would not call them that.

"Correct" is silly to even discuss relative to this topic. What you're saying is people's genders are now up for debate but the pronouns are not? Completely illogical. And somehow people still believe the "slippery

The best case I saw was to catch things your kids say. It's really hard to get a child to repeat exactly what they said again. I'm guessing your phone would have to be pretty close to the child though.

I have an overarching theory about people: their solutions create problems. e.g., According to some, Norman Borlaug saved a billion lives by developing semi-dwarf wheat. But according to some, semi-dwarf wheat is killing our guts and making

timewellspent.io contains a perfect example of indirectly hijacking our agency: the video play button. That little triangle has almost become impossible to resist. My two-year-old can spy it from across the room and he runs over and begs me

The drug test is a screening method. It "weeds" out certain segments of people and makes it more likely you'll find a reliable employee. Prospective professional employees are screened using college degrees or professional e

Or maybe drugs are doing that anyway. And the companies are trying to screen for the people who will be gone after the first few paychecks. I've known a few Xanax addicts and meth heads. They're not exactly what I would call emplo

You may find this amazing, but not everyone shares your world view. No one wants to suffer. And no one wants to see other people suffer. But the truth is suffering is a part of life. Some people I know and love have suffered their last fe

I will usually drive unless it takes more than 12 hours to get to the destination. If I'm bringing my wife and kids I would probably drive anywhere that's on the same continent, rather than fly. I do not enjoy being treated like c
