In a previous job, some coworkers and my boss perceived me as being grumpy. Resting B*tch Face, more reserved, generally didn't partipate in break time video game sessions. In reality I just wanted to get my work done and go home to th

If you look at academic definitions, yes, often they will state racism is from the majority to the minority. It is rather odd.

While not directly related to buttons, recently my father ran into a deer, causing moderate damage to the front right bumper of his 2017 Suburban. It cost $5000 to repair due to all the sensors and technology. It would have been $1000 or le

Ha! Thanks for the judgement. I'm a very good dad/husband, and I never said I did nothing. I just stated i went back to work after a few days. I was always home in the evenings, weekends, mornings.

No complications. Wife wanted me to get out of her hair as well. I was always helpful of course. Just got back to my 9-5 after a few days at home.

Exactly. It wasn't like I wasn't around or did nothing. It's just from 9-5 I worked. Did chores / helped the wife out all other hours of the week. Not sure why it offended some. The traditional notion of nuclear family r

I took a couple days off when my children are born, but as any dad/husband knows, after mom is set up at home and extended family visit and leave, there isn't much to do. I was bored after a few days so didn't mind working. B

There is a startling statistic that shows colon cancer for older people is dropping, due to routine colonoscopies recommended for those 50+, but is increasing in those that are in their 20's and 30's. It's a more aggressive t

I've been diagnosed with Stage IV colon cancer. While I hope to be around for awhile yet, I'm getting things ready for my wife to take over our digital life. Setting things up for easy backup and retrieval, ect. One of the things

I was going to say this. The B&N where I live has a large pop culture area where the CD/Music section used to be. Star Wars, Harry Potter, LOTR, Stranger Things dedicated sections with lots of Funko and similar products. Really cle

For PIN codes, would randomizing the placement of the keys on the virtual 10-key keyboard mitigate this?

Stayed in the hospital in April for about a week for a colon resection - without a doubt worst sleep is in a hospital. It was an amazing environment too and I only had 11:00pm and 4:00am checks. I think it's the nature of the environme

Call me a curmudgeonly 36 year old who was married at age 22 and still happily married, but marriage as a trophy is backwards. Marriage means going through life together, for better or worse, not as a capstone to an in-progress adult life.

I wholeheartedly agree. That and employer-based access to health insurance. Imagine if you had to change auto/life/home/rental insurance every time you changed jobs.

I recently bought a washer and dryer at Best Buy. I was thoroughly impressed with the selection and customer service. They even gave me a deal on the higher tier model after the ones I wanted were on backorder. I think they partner with Pac

The Uber Nerd in me says the purchase was to secure rights to Star Wars: ANH and the fanfare. This will also open up the doors for a complete unedited despecialized edition of the original trilogy, not some bad laserdisc scan.

I think that those that think the upgrade model will suffice are missing a few things: The increase in free/customer-as-the-product solutions that undercut existing software and by extension, the race to the bottom when it comes to app

After the collapse of the 35W bridge, the new bridge the took its place was built ahead of schedule and on budget. As with many things in history, disaster seems to hone our ability to overcome obstacles and get things done. https:/&#
