I find if you hire heroes with different skill sets you can avoid this dilemma. Or don't hire two Supermen. Hire Batman and Superman instead. But if a hero converts to a primadonna then they were never a hero. On the other hand if you&

So make sure you're hiring a hero and not a primadonna?

1970s in my case and I told people about it and they did it too. What's new here is I didn't know anyone else actually listened or came up with it on their own.

The evidence would be the obvious blatant disinfo clickbait and political slant nature of the article and its source itself as opposed to any sort of subjective but at least moderatively informative news about technology or the social impac

When I was a kid I used to launch Estes rockets. They came with mostly balsa wood fins that would frequently break on landing. The balsa wood also absorbed paint unless you hit it with a clear coat first. This for some reason gave me the id

What if I told you I don't watch any of these 24/7 news channels because I think they are all garbage that share an agenda of making you very afraid and glued to your chair? Just last night my Biden NIMBY neighbors went up my stre

I don't think you need to put a whole lot of thought into why this article was posted. I think you already know the answer in fact. It's a terrible article and it's written in a terrible way. Who might want to post that here?

Same nonsense I was told when I put in bamboo flooring. In my case it was destroyed by the late night shenanigans of an 11 lb cat. I think hardwood comes with its own tragedy at no extra cost. What we need is a flooring material that acquir

So waiting for people to try intentionally infecting themselves with toxoplasmosis to boost their creativity. It seems like a rule 34 near inevitability to me. YMMV.

Because they own 90% of the toys and I think we should be taxed more on our share of the toys as opposed to our annual take of toys or we are eventually heading for a nasty tragic unproductive violent revolution. But thank you for playing.

Or perhaps the same idea was in the air in the same sense that Think Like a Dinosaur and The Prestige had the same plot twist?

But do the wealthiest 10% pay 90% of the taxes? Answer: nope. Eventually there's a reckoning for this discrepancy, but that's why we have corporate media to delay that as long as possible. https://taxfoundation.org&#x2F

So Google Earth bought a company called keyhole that was formed by the same people that had done the Mars demo (if you saw this in the '90s it was amazing and you could tell the demo alone had a future even if the company crashed) for

The best part is if they hired the right tax accountant and played their cards right most of this will be tax-free income. And that's the way our bought and paid for government wants it, so it will stay that way. It's not about po

Solar has become dramatically cheaper in the past decade but the policymakers don't seem capable of realizing it's still not enough for America's energy needs on its own, doubly so drought-ridden California.

I drove a 1997 Riviera for about a decade (I know I know down vote me because it wasn't a 1986 Riviera). But it had some very interesting interface elements for the time that were less advanced than this but also ahead of the 1999 Cama

Well, if there aren't real concrete consequences for doing demonstrably obviously illegal things, then it seems to me it will only get worse here going forward. So I honestly do not blame anyone whatsoever for wanting to run away to ei

Cities are wonderful places except that hell is other people. There's actually no need to go back to a primitive way of life but there absolutely is a need to learn more basic survival skills with respect to self-sufficiency. Or if you
