As noted in the article, you most likely live in an affluent suburb. They don't have these things in Lake Forest or Barrington. On my way to work, on a short strip of road that runs through Hoffman Estates there are two Shelby's w

No, we'd call that propaganda as well. It's not that "everything Russian is propaganda" it's that under the Soviet Union at the time these were produced there was a specific agenda and ideology intended to be propag

My father was a machinist, and I saw in high school that there was no future in that in the US and went into software, which at the time was a hot field. But it was clear to me once the Internet made outsourcing these kinds of tasks trivial

So I did this with a cheap $15 box fan and a MERV 13 filter. It performs very poorly, the filter impedes the airflow too much and the fan actually will intake most of the airflow from the front corners of the output side because it's l

It always seemed unlikely to me that any single substance that can be ingested as a supplement would have any significant effect on general malignancies. There are probably thousands of paths by which these can occur, one magic pill that wo

Apple (used to) market the ease of use of the features of iOS very heavily. iPhones don't get a pass because Android phones are complicated as well since Apple (used to) stress that they were so much better than the competition. Nowada

Once insurance is involved and has to pay, the system is geared towards shifting as much of this as possible to the patient in the current US system. So now you have the provider and the insurance company working to get the patient to pay.
