That’s funny, I was thinking specifically of Egypt when I clarified that some countries can be fun because I also really liked the shops there. It’s good to be smart and alert, but travelling can be a burden if you think everyone is out to scam you and every interaction is a win/lose contest.  

Depending where you are (which country etc.) the shops can be fun too. Some shop owners are fun to chat with and fun to bargain with. It can even be fun to watch their scams unfold and see what happens. It’s usually harmless, and the good ones know when they’ve been caught and relent. It’s fine to occasionally immerse…

Oh shit, I’ve also been texting things to people that are unrelated to softball.

But without that drawing how would you know that at one point during the proceedings there were three lawyers in suits sitting at a table with one defendant in a prison outfit?

since no one knows better the skills their workers need than they do

I think she’s saying that in addition to the left and right we need uppers. Or maybe downers.

I dunno, I once tried to sew a button onto a shirt.....ended up burning the house down. Some skills just can’t be learned I guess.

I think the scientific term for a disease that skips only a single person of the susceptible group is “plot device”. I wouldn’t get your hopes up for an explanation.

I gave myself a sort of bagel-shaped Brazilian as I removed the bag.

I guess either way maybe it’d be fine to let the guy live his life and not mock him. Also, the mockery rings a little hollow coming from a blogger. I mean, I like the site an all but Jack should probably have enough self-awareness to not knock people that couldn’t make it in the majors.

I have a 5s. I like technology but I’m not handing Apple $1000 just to have the latest hardware (packaged in a much larger form-factor). The incremental value of a new device just isn’t worth the price.

Good sir, may I suggest cream cheese AND jam? It’s tasty and you can pretend you’re being sophisticated.

Or, “Here Comes the Inevitable Hope Solo Redemption Tour” would be on brand here.

Only if they’re Union! Hey-Oh!

which Chevy says allows the driver to program as many as 1,000 locations

And also, maybe this makes me a bad enthusiast, but I can’t imagine caring about anything as much as these guys (and they’re all guys, and virtually all of them Guys of a Certain Age) care about the engine layout of their Corvette.

I can’t believe you went through all that and then skipped going to bed with a humidifier on. If you don’t do that the rest just falls apart.  Wasted experiment.

What’s up with that wrap? I’ve had my eyes crossed for like 30 minutes and I still can’t see the 3-d unicorn on the hood.

I reached out to Oscar’s press office to ask why I got the call now, and what their company policy is for monitoring publications by their customers.
