I wouldn't necessarily assume it's at all modern. I've had Briggs-and-Stratton-powered mowers that had the deck rot from corrosion long before that B&S engine dies. Point being, if the mower was "provided", who

Your point is well-taken, but I've addressed two CEOs (that you might have heard) of by their first names, one named "Bill" and another one named "Steve". I still had a job for years after. But I was so low-level, t

And you base your first sentence on…? Surely not the ol’ “my phone slows down when my battery is failing so that I’ll buy a new phone” canard? To be clear, these are new features that will likely have a setting to turn off. There’s no cons

Boy, did the headline writer get that one wrong. It isn’t the city tracking you, it’s “local business leaders”. I’m still undecided on which is more sinister, but let’s get the details right.

Apple stores work the same way, except that it is truly “scan and go”, whereas Walmart makes you show a digital receipt. What happens if you steal? I dunno, without checking I’m pretty sure you need an Apple account to use the app, so maybe

I wouldn’t expect mosquitoes that far north. Alaska would like a word. Worst mosquitoes (both in size and number) I’ve ever experienced were at the Arctic Circle campground. They’re so big, they don’t even make a buzzing sound, it’s more

I, too, used to be a “preachermon”. I never found evidence that this argument was anything but apocryphal. It would make a better argument to find a text describing how Jesus referred to a rich person (real or parable) and said, “this rich

TFA is a lengthy slog, but it seemed to be mostly worth it. If nothing else, TFA ties together a lot of the business folk wisdom with its origins, repeatedly pointing out that this one is based on the thoughts of a blatant racist, this othe
