The reductionist reply to this is that the employment offer didn't meet your friend's threshold for "pays enough". Theoretically, if they offered your friend $1,000,000 USD per year, he would have accepted the job. The e

I lived in Hickory Hills for a while as a kid. We'd ride our bikes all the way out to Red Gate on a Saturday morning. No super powers here either.

I think it's just me, but I find 99% of the original content shows on Netflix to be unwatchable. There is some combination of writing/acting/cinematic style that simply doesn't appeal to me.

The entire gimmick of the product is that the bolt is on an angle. This means that the nut and plates are not symmetrical and both the designer and assembler must pay attention to the direction the bolt points so that the wrench is not bloc

But hasn't this always been the evolution of warfare? Once upon a time you had to look your enemy in the eye to fight them (sword, axe, fist, etc). And then someone invented the longbow and suddenly an arrow could silently fly out of a

Normalization of violence has been on-going for 50 years in movies and TV. See someone's head get blown off? PG-13. See some boobs? R. See full frontal on a woman? NC-17. See full frontal on a man? X.

I drive a 20 year old truck that gets categorically ABYSMAL MPG. The problem is, I only drive it less than 10k miles per year and at the cost of a new vehicle, I doubt I would ever "come out ahead" by replacing it.

When I visit Germany, I am astounded at how many of my German coworkers dislike fresh air in the office. A beautiful 25c sunny day with a nice breeze, and I opened the window near my desk. Within five minutes, someone has closed it and give

Pay cash at a restaurant in Germany and ask for a receipt (I have an expense report to fill out) and they look at you like you're a dead rat in the street. Ask for a receipt at the hotel, and you better make sure you ask for an "n
