   Talk about a racket. I have OSA pretty badly and can't do anything about it. These shrink-fit oral appliances would extend my lifespan by years, but I can't afford the thousands of dollars for a sleep study to get diagnosed to get

    This may be beyond some people's comprehension, but where I work we're receiving huge amounts of push-back trying to move from green screen to Windows GUI apps. Yes, really. We tried explaining this to a "modern" develop

    Set and maintain strong, healthy adult boundaries. If somebody blames you for something that you don't control then call them out on it. You don't even have to be mean, just point it out. There's a lot of legal precedence for
