My smaller city is dealing with a lot of legacy traffic-impacting holdovers like parking lot access very close to intersections. Too many drivers believe they are being the nice guy by stopping so a car can exit a parking lot, forgetting the dozen or so vehicles now stopped behind them.

I wonder how well this works with a 2-ton diesel pickup right behind you in the line?

There have been so many breaches, I’d assume 95% of the population with a credit card is already covered by some form of credit monitoring. I’m not even sure what breach my current service is from, but I get the monthly email alerts that noting has changed.

The Waffle House Index simplifies the availability of critical infrastructure. Water & flame is all that’s needed for a limited menu serving just pancakes. Full menu availability implies power is on with refrigeration for perishables like meats. Total shutdown implies employees could not travel to work either due to…

My first job in the mid-90's was working in the video rental department of a local grocery chain store. Prime’s monthly additions bring back a lot of nostalgia for me, and also some less than fond memories of the creepy guys who were always first to rent 90's T&A films.

Dictionaries are not language rule books; they are historical records of how words are used.

Not in government, but at a telecom utility company that operates the same. I spent my first few years scripting and automating. Now, I find myself putting work off so I have at least one thing to do every weekday. I finished a bachelors degree 95% at work over the last 4 years. I can’t get management to upgrade…

Assuming you have competent management that can be bothered to give you a job description beyond “whatever duties we assign you.”

Just looking at this graphic visually, it’s obvious we’re overdue for a bear market.

Look at Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge at Disneyland. They already had to stop using the special “space” sporks because so many were disappearing.

Yes, people have jobs, but even with low unemployment, take-home pay is not increasing. The health insurance mandate pushed many employers to split FT positions into two PT roles. Workers are putting in more hours for less compensation, and limited job security.

Risk normally increases with longer term investments. The bond rate inversion reveals investors see higher risk in the short-term. Changes in the US political landscape over the next 18 months could be very volatile. The uncertainty has investors worried.

I earned an A.S. from a state junior college immediately after high school. I was very lucky to get a relatively high paying job because of my extracurriculars. Looking back, I wish I had gone on to complete 4 years of college, but not for the degree. I missed out on social experiences and developing connections. I…

They already missed one thing: listing password requirements before you have to create a password. I much prefer providing a password, then being told it’s not long enough, or doesn’t contain the right number of special characters.

First time I took my oldest backpacking, we only had about an hour to hike in after work, so we were looking for a good flat spot almost from the get go. Shortly after we stopped, a cow wandered nearby. My (14 year-old) son almost ran off the mountain in fear of the “wild” animals. Thankfully his younger brother is…

Does everything pixar include shorts?

The same tips apply to providing internal reviews. HR at my small company sent out a survey asking us to rate all the supervisors in various departments. I made a conscious effort to change my voice and style in all the open answer fields. At least one misogynist now speaks to the women in the office on a much more…

Many churches have benevolent funds for assisting with basic needs on a temporary basis. Each organization has differing guidelines, so be prepared to do everything from submitting to a police background check to providing copies of bank statements. Typically, start with a church you’re familiar with or have some kind…

This isn’t about the risks. This is about the reward ... sweet E.T. love.

I was on a domestic flight like this, but I believe the family got the last seats available, so they were spread throughout the cabin. I had two choices. Sit across the isle from a toddler who wanted to be near the other parent, or I could sacrifice my isle seat for center to trade the other parent so she could be…
