Given that evolutionary biology effectively makes an orgasm the best physical sensation that a human can experience, I think the most tragic deaths of all are the ones where the decedent never had the opportunity to experience one.

As the video points out, only a few games really fit into the real “scam” category, in the sense that they resulted in essentially zero wins. The other games are either pure chance (with a calculable win percentage), or require a relatively well-practiced skill to beat (but if you have that skill, like the Mets guy,…

I sell my labor to a buyer at a price that is mutually agreed upon. If at some point I decide that I no longer want to sell my labor at that price, I either negotiate a new price with the current buyer or go find a new buyer.

It’s more likely that he got beaten with a ruler or woke up with a priest up his ass...

Problems like this are purely about the raw demographics: as baby boomers age out of their motorcycle riding days, the next two generations are too small to make up the difference at the same market penetration. Yes, there are probably other cultural shifts involved as well, but the simple age demographics and…

Depends. If you’re only talking about US demographics, you’d be right. But Facebook is a global company. Taking that into consideration, the makeup of the board should be even more different than it is now if they want to have the board be representative of their user base.

“The lightening speed with which...”

Which get more than eaten up by HOA fees?

“The institutional philosophy of the consulting firms is that their methods and processes are so good that they can achieve great results no matter how inexperienced their junior ranks are.”

All you need to do to understand the quality of the consulting knowledge is look at the majority of the people they send you (not just Deloitte, but all the big consultancies).

You forgot the correct option: Call off the wedding. You do not want to marry into this family.

This should be, at the very least, a company-ending event for Equifax, if not an industry-ending event for the credit reporting industry itself.

I guarantee you that if they subpoena his phone records as part of an insider trading investigation that they will find he got texted/paged on Saturday as soon as the breach was discovered. There is no way something like that didn’t get escalated all the way up the IT chain almost immediately.

“It’s unclear why detectives wanted a blood sample from the victim of a police pursuit.”

You got it backwards. The patient is a reserve officer, which means he’s a full time truck driver and a part time cop, not the other way around.

From what I’ve read elsewhere, the impacted area covers approximately 20% of the Texas population. Presumably, that also means 20% of the cars. So a 1 in 5 chance that a car coming out of Texas was in the impacted area. The land area percentage is irrelevant.

Good, a perfect example of someone who doesn’t understand the slippery slope fallacy.

I can’t believe he could even find a lawyer to take the case. This is literally Fair Use 101, and there was no way he was going to win it.
