When I started my career, I thought I was making decent money and crazy benefits - of course my only experience was growing up in a tiny town in Missouri. After a few years, I found out that my company routinely paid 20-30% less than the industry average, because they were the industry leader and hired constantly from…

I bought the Sceptre for $465 plus tax from Walmart.com and I couldn’t be happier. I added a Fire TV stick for Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, etc... and it works beautifully. I really do believe in the strategy of buying the largest dumb HDTV you can find and adding a device for the “smarts.”

My old boss is a proud tabbed Ranger and active on Facebook. According to him, most of the objections are coming from non tabbed soldiers and others outside the fold.

Google Translate on my Android phone allows for offline use.

I love the earbuds that came with my HTC One.

If you are flying by yourself - Spirit SUCKS. But with a wife and kid flying DEN to FLL for $500 all told including luggage, can’t beat it.

If DNA backed up the internet - Kim K would be famous for ALL TIME

Back in undergrad, my friends and I went to the lcoation in Sikeston a few times. The food was good to folks who have been away from home cookin’, and the rolls were thrown fresh out of the oven. Burns from those hot buns I would believe, but anything worse just doesn’t sound credible.

Capital punishment in peacetime has been abolished in Norway for over 100 years. It was briefly reintroduced by Vidkun Quisling, who was backed by Hitler. I can see why that country has a natural aversion to it.

No TSA? Guns, knives, and gunknives all day.

Companies pay state unemployment for the right to hire workers in that state. You aren’t sucking anyone’s teat when you accept UI benefits. And companies will fight your application if they think you don’t deserve it.

It’s not about being honest or dishonest, it is about protecting your interest. My employer who let…

It’s bait and switch, pure and simple. IT’S UNLIMITED!!!! Well, not really, we do place a 5GB throttle limit that is more of a threshhold.... Few other industries get away with this.

Wow - fun article. I played in high school and at Washington University. You dismissed the high school experience, but it ruined me for college. Not just because HS Quiz Bowl is a bit easier - but because in the Tri-State area of IA/IL/MO we had the Quincy University Academic Challenge. This HS tournament was…

It’s tough reading your articles Katie, not because you are wrong, but because based on my observation and experience I still believe fraternity life has a lot to offer young people in school and beyond. I am a black man who joined TKE in the late nineties. TKE nationwide is considered a “white” fraternity, but I was…

I only make friends with the driver if I want him to be my regular driver. Back when I traveled to Chicago all the time for work, I had a driver that I was pretty loyal to. I know an Uber driver that has a few regulars, and they toss him game tickets every now and again.

Even Edison? Edison’s DC current lost to N. Tesla’s AC current even after Edison used it in the electric chair. Edison’s film company lost to Hollywood, even after he hired goons to stop them. Edison has many claims to fame - but he lost more than the car of the future contest.

Farmers/ranchers use ATVs to navigate uneven and sometimes soft terrain.

Bourbon can be produced anywhere in America. Colorado makes some lovely bourbons.

I knew a blonde swinger in ATL. A perfectly lovely body, but the face of a female crypt keeper.

Every Superman movie except Man of Steel. Superman sucks.
