I think it’s also important to keep cultural fit in mind. I believe it’s important to error a little on the side of overdressed in an interview, but go in too overdressed and the interviewer might think you won’t fit in. Your company research should bring to light what the typically dress code is. Look for photos of…

The value of a product is not just the sum of its manufacturing costs. Think of it this way...How much would you spend on four people to go to the movies?

It really is a good board game. Nothing relgious about it, maybe a little nerdy. One of the best selling points, in my opinion, is the potential for all players to participate on every turn. In most games, you can get up and get a beer when it’s not your turn and not miss anything. Not so with Catan. You could very…

+1 for Pandemic as a cooperative. The great thing about that game is you can turn around and play it competitvely as well or have one person essentially play as a bio-terrorist trying to destroy humanity while the others try to stop you.

Odd pet peeve since the order doesn’t matter. Squirt of soap then water or water then a squirt of soap. Makes no difference. If anything, there is an argument that water should be second because you may not know how much water you need to get good suds given the amount of soap that is dispensed. I’ve noticed people…

don’t waste your time on this video. the first 3 minutes (more than half) is just a random collection of cherry picked data from cherry picked studies about hand washing. when they finally get to “what I’m doing wrong”, they offer 4 completely worthless “tips” that a 2 year old kid would consider painfully obvious.

I’ve never had TSA consider pre-moistened cloths as a liquid. I guess if they take you in the back room for a cavity search everyone will have clean hands afterwards.

disinfecting wipes and hand sanitizer. first thing I do on every single flight is wipe down every surface I might touch during the flight. one wipe is not enough. 4-5 per seat is usually about right. get the jumbo pack from costco and use as many as it takes. once done, bust out the hand sanitizer for good measure.…

I have a nice trunk mounted Thule rack and use it frequently. 3 bikes, 4 straps. Super strong, never a scratch on the bikes or on the car. I put 3 full suspension mountain bikes on it regularly and have had zero problems with it. My Thule rack uses metal cables instead of nylon straps which makes it super easy to…

I hear you and there is a risk that is fairly easy to reduce. I think you are overblowing the problem. It’s a big leap from buying into it or even giving it some credibility to deliberately breaking the law. You are using a slippery slope argument. If there is evidence to support your prediction, that’s worth…

I have a hard time believing there is more than a small handful of board certified doctors that would be willing to falsify medical records. Not only would they risk losing their license but every doctor I’ve spoken to understands the tremendous benefits vaccinations bring. I can’t imagine any of them issuing a bogus…

brace yourself, you’re about to tumble down a rabbit hole of stupidity.

For some reason, Americans were taught to stretch before excercise. I was taught that in gym class as a kid long ago. I just don’t think they really had any data to go on and in our litigation happy culture, *something* had to be done to try and prevent injury. There is now some data which appears to support that you…

just like “8 glasses of water a day” there is no one size fits all formula. 10k steps might be a useful rule of thumb but it depends on a lot of variables.

Out of curiosity, is the plantiff ever able to recover costs like mileage from all the trips back and forth? I assume this varies by state but would also assume it falls under the duty to restore principle. You said “no punitive damages” but can you recover directly quantifiable expenses outside of attorney and court…

This is more than handwaving. It’s making bold conclusive claims without even bothering to lift a finger to substiate them. Click bait at its absolute worst because they make it sound like it’s science while being nothing that even comes close to resembling it. It’s not a pity, it’s pathetic. It’s shameful that gawker…

Worse than junk pseudo-science. The linked article offers zero evidence that your sense of smell or taste are affected by humidity. It offers zero evidence that noise levels affects your sense of taste or enjoyment of food. Zero evidence that “crunching noises” make food more difficult to taste. I’m not saying they…

missed the influenza vaccine.

My vote is they are about a 7 on your scale. I definitely notice the difference after a day of wearing them compared to not wearing them. Eyes feel less tired when I do. Before I purchased them, I tried a pair of cheapo low powered readers ($5 at any drug store) to see if that helped with eyestrain. The humidity claim…

I too have been extremely frustrated with the communication from the Karma team. They have gotten better in the last couple months after major backlash over social media. Early on though, it looked like a pretty doomed product. I was told I was going to be amongst the first to get shipment. That was a couple weeks ago…
