I’m not sure about vendors, but cab drivers receive higher tips from riders that use credit card than cash. People mindlessly just push 15% or 20%, they don’t think to count out the cash change they want back.

“libel laws are much stronger over there”== free speech laws are much weaker over there 

The strategy won Dwayne Wade his first NBA championship. Tried and true!

I saw a called foul and a non-call in the last few seconds of this one. Which one is more indicative of the “last 5 seconds of a college basketball tournament game”?

“because my hand is still a little glazey”

If they can have their own basketball team in the Olympics/World Championships, then they can have their own spot in maternity mortality rankings.

“I want to ensure that the children of this county have the same safe childhood that I had growing up,” Morley said in the clip.

“As a side note, in non-resort cities in Mexico, the hotel staff won’t take the tips you leave out”

It’s better than a stadium. I’m not sure what else would be better in that location. Maybe housing for middle/upper middle class NYers (you know, the actual tax payers in this city)?

Wait to you check out the Leaning Tower of Pisa!
