I use it on business trips if I’m not scheduled to go out with customers. Uber back to the hotel, order some Grubhub and enjoy a quality meal without having to go to a restaurant by myself. Much better quality/variety than room servi

I’ve always thought that this is going to hit illegal immigrants hardest. Rents on the low end are going to rise by $1000/month, and those without the subsidy aren’t going to be able to compete. Or California could provide $1000/

The reality behind corporate casinos is a bit more disheartening. Using analytics, from their “players club” cards, they know what zip code you’re from, and based upon that, they approximate your income. They know that if you lose too much

Nah, I was smarter than that. I already had multiple offers, and had no intention of working for a government contractor. I mostly wanted to see how this recruiter would react to my flippant statement. If he had vehemently defended his com

“For many traits, males show greater variability than females” - first sentence in the paper’s abstract. What “many traits” do you think are being referenced? I’ve worked with many female engineers who are unquestionably smarter than I am.

This was a jury decision. Yes, a jury can be persuaded by a good lawyer, and the “simpleton woman” may not have had a good lawyer, but it’s not like the decision was made by an arbitrary judge.

I just took a nearly empty southwest flight last week. The flight attendant asked me to move further back in the plane, and appeared to have an iPad or notepad she was using to track passenger count per zone. First time I’ve seen this syst

You can burn a bridge with no repercussions. It’s a small industry, but burn that mo-fo down if it’s required to maintain your self esteem. Makes for a good drinking story afterwards, and really, that’s what you want at the end of your car
