On a somewhat related note, I've been living in NYC for the past 7 years or so. I noticed that whenever I go to visit my parents house in Canada, the lack of noise kind of stresses me out. The first few nights when I try to sleep, it&#

Why is it odd? He's in Russia. Pretty sure he knows that if he speaks out about it, he'll either be deported or arrested.

I didn't realize it was the entire state that banned the practice. Good to know. I wonder, if a prospective employer were to ask you about salary history, what would be a good way to turn them down? I'm sure there are many employe
