The problem is he’s a bully with all the power and zero consequences. Look at Harvard, but pretend they don’t have billions of endowments.

My uncle built his home from hardwood. No insulation. In sub freezing temps, you can put your hand in the wood and it isn't cold. Compared to my (poorly) insulated home, it b is significantly better.

Is a 4 inch knife significantly less dangerous than longer knives? A shiv is a short knife, and razor blades are banned from airplane carry-ons. They try to discern between common objects being weapons and it becomes situational, except for

answer NO to the question "Are you a criminal?" Unis have an honor code, right? This was clearly a FAFO situation.

As if the taxpayers should automatically give billions to Harvard, no matter what Harvard does. That's insanity (to me at least). AFAIK, Harvard doesn't get money for nothing -- it's primarily for research. The deman

The Chinese look to the future. America, barely looks past the next stock market report. Trump looks to some unidentified time in the past when daddy loved him. Not having a high level, shared vision of the future dooms America, and the cur

We could start by not having a bulk rate for ~spam~ snail mail. Charge them double, perhaps. Especially political.

I would have expected a Mensa reading list for Americans to be in non-English languages. Maybe Homer in the original Greek.

We can decide to spend our money on more ethical providers, be it eggs, milk, or meat, but as animals, we cannot get away from the circle of life. Is it more "humane" for an animal to be eaten alive by another predator? The only d

Tell that to Fisher of Fisher investments. He's humping Trump's leg and is totally gung ho about the tarrifs. On the plus side, my investments have doubled. On the downside, I feel dirty.

I thought the first episode was mediocre, but I enjoy the series as a better than average mind candy distraction. My real problem with it was getting over Michael Emerson -- he's so detestable in Evil.

Cook is neither an asshole nor a business genius. He is a logistics genius, though. Regardless, is there anyone remotely like Jobs right now? And I don't mean pushing up daises. The leaders I see are opinionated assholes lacking a cons

Apple has the money, but not the will, to improve app features across their entire ecosystem. I'd love some inside baseball on why they make the decisions they do. Siri could have been improved since they bought it, but I'm unsure

Isn’t that the way politics is now? Freedom of speech for me, but not for thee? Or is it, My speech is free, but yours are lies? Hypocrisy everywhere.
