I’ll believe open offices are effective when all of management are in the same floor plan.
Somehow, offices with closing doors are helpful to them as creative workers, but not for their staff.

Find the local place that trains lifeguards. The American Red Cross has a directory, or you can contact your local parks & rec department. If they have a pool, they’ll know.
Ask them how to get connected to a lifeguard.

Sounds great. Please provide evidence that voter fraud is more prevalent than voter suppression so we can have a facts-based discussion.

I can still remember hearing how embarrassed the daycare worker was when my 3 year old daughter complained that her vagina hurt.
She has literally never heard a child use the anatomically correct word.
Welcome to Indiana!

As a network engineer, I do everything in UTC.
DST exists punish users for buying software written by bad programmers.
I really, REALLY wish we’d just make the switch. Airlines and the military get it right with this.

Hoosier here. Yes, we completely suck at time.
When everyone else moved to Daylight Saving time, we were in the Central Time Zone. By the sun, we still should be. The natural line for the ET/CT split is 100% within Ohio, not Indiana!
Still, we thought if moving an hour forward was good for most of the year, we might as…

Even if you do time zones, how do you know if your correspondent works 0700-1600, 0800-1700, or 0900-1800? Or, perhaps they skip lunch and leave an hour earlier, or they work very early or late?
We’re moving away from the “9 to 5", and have been since shortly after Dolly sang about it.
Calendar sharing is easy. We’re…

Wealthy, to me, would be the ability to spend 30% more than I do now for the rest of my life with no more paychecks for work.

You saw my pedantry and raised me.
I like your style, Dude.

Oat Juice.
Milk comes from mammary glands. Juice comes from fruits and vegetables.*
 
Now that’s out of the way, I’m actually pretty intrigued in oat juice. I’ve tried almond and soy juice, and there is just a “funk” to them that I don’t care for. I also dig whole milk, so your recommendation sounds spot on for me!

*Befor…

If you want to see the difference between a intermediate and full power round, see this: (skip to 1:00 and 2:15 in if you want to see the comparison with less talking)

One of the nice features with the more modern A380 is that it is completely fly by wire, and will adjust to the failure even both engines by adjusting rudder trim and other methods so the pilot doesn’t have to constantly adjust for the thrust differential.
Also, even if two engines are not enough to keep it going, even…

My father gathered wild Morels during my entire childhood.
After he came home with his haul, he would soak them for what seemed like a long time.
The one thing I remember most were ALL THE BUGS that came out as the crevices of the mushroom were filled with water.
I get that store-bought mushrooms are not the same, but…

Having lived in Indiana my entire life, I’m still dumbfounded by people that don’t build basements when building a new house, or buy homes without basements.
My wife and I both grew up in homes with basements, and when we built, we cut back a lot of features and square feet to get our basement.
We’ve used it every…

This was my default. I was always just direct and to the point. Not crappy, but not talking about the weather when it has nothing to do with what I needed to discuss.
Then, I worked for a French-owned company as the only American on the team. Both the French and the Germans were appalled at what they perceived as…

We both have and use Confide & Signal, and also know how to meet people in person and make a phone call. There are plenty of ways to be private.
We also use “Find Friends” with each other, and I have blocked her access to see my location when I went to buy her a present.
I even teach my kids that while I reserve the…

In terms of being pro-password sharing: 

If that is what he wanted, he should have made sure it was included in the tax break bill.
He didn’t, because he knows that most of his fellow Republicans are just as ready to spend money as the Democrats.

Fair point. Also, the AMT.
Still, they’re not tax-bracket related as much.
I think I get stabby about the tax-bracket misunderstanding because it echos back during discussions about tax policy. When you talk of a 50% tax for income over $100,000,000, people mistake that for a $50,000,00 tax bill.
