I couldn’t help but look for what was hidden behind the black box. Found it. But when I was looking, I noticed that Ron’s is not the only property within the township that has many multiple vehicles out in the open. Of course I have no way to know if they are licensed, but still - makes me wonder if this isn’t some…

Yep. Exactly that - you get *legal* backing, but no practical enforcement, except in vary narrow circumstances.

Suing in small claims is such a legal craps shoot.

Didn’t Japan already do this, like, a hundred times? They have some of the coolest vending machines out there. If these guys had any real brains, they’d import those and just start a vending machine business. That’s maybe too pedestrian for ex-Googlers.

Amen to that.

You are correct - you didn’t say that, and I didn’t mean to imply you did. Just pointing out the obvious, I suppose. I was admittedly reading into the context of the idea of social media being a thing that you need to buy into. Sorry if you read it the other way. Cheers!

But then again, unless the PR people are PR morons, they don’t require you to have a FB account to view their Facebook pages. I dumped Facebook a few years ago, and after the initial withdrawal symptoms subsided, I have been much happier. And I honestly don’t feel like I’ve missed a thing. I never used Twitter,…

Kristen - I may be a dunce when it comes to personal finance (okay, I am), but this sentence didn’t compute to me:
“My general rule is to never have more in my bank account than I do on my card...”
How is it a good thing to have more credit card debt than cash in the bank (other than for short term leveraging of someone…

Pseudoscience, quacks and hacks abound. Unfortunately, quite a few of those selfsame biases will prevent people from believing or even reading this column... but please keep at it.

76%? According to what study?

No, no, no, you people don’t understand the reality of this situation: the driver of the black SUV was a human inhabited by an alien on a mission to ensure Trump and Kim annihilate the human race. The deputy was tipped off about the situation by a plucky band of high school kids who learned that you can tell whether…

Well, unfortunately, this isn’t strictly true. NIH has funded some god-awful “studies” over the years. No institute is 100% infallible. It’s still up to the reader to make a decision based on the strength of any study.

Cancer is terrible. Full stop. My mom is dying from small cell lung cancer, and it’s just terrible. She’s undergoing treatment, despite the “extensive” diagnosis, that being fatal, because she wants some more time to close things out. She’s gone through rounds of chemo, and will likely do rad therapy next. She…

Couldn’t make it to the path of totality, but had a good time with coworkers in the parking lot watching the partial. I was surprised how many people were a) unaware that there would be an eclipse at all, and b) had no idea what was happening, celestially speaking, and c) couldn’t figure out how to operate something…

From the article associated with the recipe:

My wife and I were eating at a restaurant during the 2012 partial eclipse, and I had a business card on me from something or other. I poked a hole in it, and let it shine on the tablecloth of the restaurant. Dead simple. We also saw the same tree effect outside.

Utter horseshit. Where’s the GoFundMe page that helps get his tuition covered? I hope he does well enough through monetizing this laughably horseshit breach of his basic creative freedoms that he can continue studying and keep working out, and eventually turn pro despite the NCAA.

Yeah, I see your point, and don’t *really* disagree... I just feel that no amount of money is “insignificant” when you’re retooling. Purely a personal level issue - there is no logical disagreement with your stance. Honestly, good luck to everyone since, you know, the goal is to win games.

I’ll grant you that, theoretically it’s possible for him to rehab (mostly) successfully. But I’ll take issue with the idea that Lincecum’s stint on the Angels had anything whatever to do with the fact that he’s not back in the organization today. He had decayed, and they didn’t need to bring him back as a minor…

There’s so much more than Falafel there! You should go (again?) if you haven’t (or haven’t in a while).
