Ah, that feeling when one’s company applies ad-blocking to workstations via group policy—blocking that cannot be turned off or disabled by the end user (security reasons), yet has “required” training videos that are hosted on YouTube. Gonna be an interesting day...

Do they also come with extra-long USB cables? The 3' ones that come with most devices would mean a lot of bending over—and not being able to raise your device to a comfortable height while it’s charging (at least if the outlets are installed at normal height).

According to a friend who got the dreaded email at 3 AM this morning, it’s six months of some sort of health stipend, not full actual coverage.

Living in one of those dense areas, yeah, it’s Giant and Safeways all the way down.

Hmmm....as a semi-professional photographer with some 4.3 TB of photos (which I currently back up to AWS’s glacier storage), I might just test the bounds of this “unlimited” storage Prime offers.  ;-)

He wasn’t getting handsy on set, he was sexting (or attempting to) with underage fans.

Munroe’s Law:  There is always an appropriate XKCD.

In all of the articles I’ve seen on this over the last several years, not a one has touched on whether these “explosions” are caused by actual combustion of a large pocket of methane gas, or if they’re simply the result of an underground bubble of pressure growing to the point it overcomes the cohesion of the mud…
