As someone who has cleaned many decks that Thompson deck cleaner is shit. There is a product called 30 Seconds that utterly DESTROYS any other cleaner I have come across.

Learning SAS (or R, or Matlab, or Python) doesn’t bestow any of the advanced training in math and statistics required to use those languages effectively. Highly paid developers who know SAS, R and Matlab usually also have advanced degrees in the natural and applied sciences. Lists like these are misleading in that…

I'm in agreement with you on the whole Minecraft thing, but there's a weird dichotomy to it. My kids both play, and both incessantly watch the YouTube videos on the subject (for the record: I hope I never find Stampy, or else I'm just going to throttle his whiny, British ass). I get that it's a great platform for…

I had to finish off a deer once with the tire iron that came with my nissan; I think it's part of the responsibility you take on…

That is the funniest thing I've read all day. Kudos to your daughter, sir. *tips hat*
