The logic behind such a policy is, if employees are allowed to take home garbage/culls, some of them might make up reasons to throw away product or inventory (“accidentally” nicking or scraping expensive furniture to be garbage-picked later, for example). It’s a cynical policy but it exists for a reason... a good…

“Since 1996 and the significant increase in abstinence-only-until-marriage funding, broad efforts to implement comprehensive sexuality education largely have been derailed.”

Actually, I’m pretty sure “Weird Beef” is Bourdain’s next culinary travelogue series.

What the shitting hell is an RMV? That commonwealth needs to get itself an honest DEPARTMENT of motor vehicles like the rest of us God-fearing American states.

Well, it’s not exactly the same, but there’s WAY too much trivialization of addiction in a lot of people’s vernacular... the whole “it’s like crack” thing, or people slapping the inside of their elbows when talking about being addicted to Pepsi or some such. I suppose it’s a little more forgivable, as it’s easy to…

It’s not making fun, but it is trivializing.

OK, K.K.

I’m not sure why you would expect all the current soap opera and political noise and heat to go away.. I’m all for eliminating the excess gender-binary baggage, but people will always find something to be petty about. The society in Lecke’s universe is rife with political intrigue, and is profoundly flawed in many…

I think that’s a different kind of blue blood!

bluebloods eschew the letter “K” . . . .

getting mad at me for enjoying an e-book/mobile game/whatever while my kid is practicing sports is like a lim0-full of high schoolers getting mad at the driver for not paying attention to them while they dance at prom.

LOTS of girls in my high school went to these tanning places — no lie, one of them claimed she made the experience more safe by keeping her ovaries covered so the UV radiation wouldn’t mess up her chances of making babies.

Most places you’re allowed to wear a “beard net” as well, provided by the place of employment like hairnets. The idea being, some people don’t trim their facial hair for traditional or religious reasons, so while it’s not fair that they aren’t considered for employment, the health code expects them and their employers…

they upped their game for the last few operating systems/updates.. but yeah, for a while there the selection was pretty lousy (especially when they were trying to make the faces look like little “androids”)

I got the first four “Positron” episodes as Kindle singles, and just today it occurred to me to check and see if Atwood had published any more. Which is when I discovered the pending release of “The Heart Goes Last.” So what gives? There is evidence a fifth episode was in the offing, but I see no sign of its release,…

HAHA, sorry dude, just stop now.. yoga nerd schooled you with that Illuminati zing

Well, hard for me to argue with that, I do enjoy a good steak. My corner of the continent doesn’t have the best beef, but I’d be happy to trade some raw cheddar or really prime pork.
