The discrepancy here is because the original term was/is secondhand smoke, not smoking or smoker, and what was/is publicized is the dangers of secondhand smoke, not secondhand smoking (because the point was to warn about the misery the smoker was causing). If you run a search for secondhand smoking, the vast majority…

We’ve been here before:

Obligatory:

Upwards of means “more than”, so while you may not have paid anywhere near $10 in years, you certainly have been paying upwards of that amount! #pedantry

“it’s how the Trump Admin justifies locking refugee claimants from Central America like they’re terrorists, or how internment camps were justified in WWII.”

It took them four tries to get the keyboard right(?); now you want to trust them with squeezing a double-hinge mechanism into the chassis? Good luck.

It’s been said that his wife—even before the foundation—was a major factor in his change in personality. Even before then, though, Bill was more ruthless in a “traditional” industrial fashion instead of this new flavor of tech bro amorality. Remember, he made his riches back before tech was cool.

A class action lawsuit against a company that shut down because it ran out of money, couldn’t find any buyers, and couldn’t declare bankruptcy because there wasn’t any plausible recovery plan? They’ll have enough trouble paying their creditors a fraction of what’s owed; only a band of foolish lawyers would even think…

“I also had to pay a $100 incident fee for the crack on the back of my iPhone X, which was a bit of a surprise, since I figured AppleCare would cover a single crack.”

“Instead, this app allows you to set a duration for iOS’ Do Not Disturb mode: until you manually turn it off, until a particular time, or until a specific calendar event has ended.”
