Creosote is amazing! It's responsible for that "desert rain" smell. There is also King Clone, "estimated to be 11,700 years old, making it one of the oldest living organisms on Earth" [1] [1] https://en.m

In the UK at least, from my experience there, the term 'engineer' is applied to many more people than I would have expected. E.g. "an engineer is coming to look at my boiler". In the US the term 'technician' se

If I had wrote that, it would have been about how it led to the development of the Cesarean section operation. In the US, and many other places, the prevalence is much higher than the medical need. When there is no medical need for a C-sect

I also really like them as an Airline, and use them often to go to and from Hawai'i. Their staff is usually very kind and the planes are clean. I don't remember the seat sizes.. I am not a 'big' person so not an issue fo

There is only one raid that I've heard of, which was on the Tha Phae Pun Space I think. And eventually they let everyone go when they realized they weren't actually working for Thai companies

Wow, I never knew about Google Express. I've been using Amazon Prime Now to get my groceries, so this makes things even easier.

I'm surprised you'd not get culturally ousted for that? I know nothing about Google's internal culture, but I'd assume everyone would be against using someone else's product.
