It's a three book series. It has a prequel, which adds little to the trilogy. It's highly awarded. It's interesting in that it was originally written in Chinese and it's uncommon for a translated book to make this big

The answer to this is simple. Make the "on-site" interview on-site again. * You can rule out many types of cheating, which is becoming a more expensive problem. * You can get many more details for the 'culture fit' in p

It seems pretty hysterical that the minimum smoking age is 21 and not 18. Should we just raise the age of adulthood from 18 to 21? We are clearly signaling they are not responsible enough to make some of their own decisions.

"Dopaminergic effects" clearly means something along the lines of 'activity of dopamine within the human brain'. I just think we need more than an analogy to reach the conclusion that social media needs to be banned. T

I think it's inherently an undesirable thing to reduce the amount of liberty. I don't think it has anything to do with how anyone raises their children.

E-scooter rental companies are in a contract with the city to allow the scooters to be parked on city property. Paris just ends the contracts. This isn't making anything illegal.

I hate these types of rented vehicles. I hope more cities follow Paris' example. 1. There is questionable quality and reliability. They always feel worse than a mid-range private ownership model. 2. Ownership is cheaper for regular us

The GSA usage rate is $0.585/mile. That is $9.945/day in car usage from a 8.5 mile commute to the office. I understand you can drive for less than this rate, but it would be hard to reach $0.35/mile and doing so would sacri
