Completely agree. Let's say that it was an accidental leak. If you imagine that you were the one that was involved in the leak, how likely is it that you would want be held accountable? There's such a strong motive here for a c

My take would be that those diseases affect children while COVID does not. I think we would have seen pretty much everyone on board with COVID vaccines if COVID was severely crippling children.

How much longer do these people need to wait? Tens (if not hundreds) of millions of people have now received the vaccine. It's more likely that they'll never get it because later on they'll think "well, I've gone t

I know cubicles were previously mocked but a private space with walls where I'm not distracted by people walking all around me doesn't sound too bad.

If someone says they'll come up with the money by X date and they don't, maybe you give them one more chance but that's it. Then the deal is off. It's such a heartbreaking story. It seems the conman caught the owners i

Interviewing is a skillet on its own. It's somewhat detached from the actual work. After an interview, write down all the questions you can remember. Then think about your ideal response and practice them aloud. Video record yourself a

Living in a walkable city, it's remarkable when I go back to my hometown. There, everything is spread out so people don't really walk. The difference in people's body sizes is noticeable immediately.

You seem bright. I'd guess that you're failing on the social sides of the interview process. If you submit cover letters like this, you may be highlighting too many things that aren't applicable to the job so companies will
