Enjoy your subsequent trips to the oncologist.

Just because patches are available does not mean that they have been applied. Legacy applications, specialized hardware, vendor shenanigans, and organizational inertia can be signi…

It's way funnier if you read it in the voice of Boris Badenov (of "Rocky and Bullwinkle" fame).

The HEB Central Market on Westheimer might have more of what you're looking for insofar as Organic meat.

Not unique to the cruise industry. Filipino crews make up a lot of the maritime industry's labor force. Container ships, tankers, offshore drilling, you name it. Some of the best f…

I would be thrilled if the amount dispensed were at least enough to cover the parking that the courthouse charges.

Funny, but incorrect. This mostly has to do with spurious RF noise generated by badly engineered devices like power supplies or manual light dimmer switches - things that aren't de…

What's nice about the Baofeng VHF/UHF handhelds is that they correspond with the frequencies available to an entry level ("technician") US amateur radio license. When combined with…

Version 2.0 might need to include emigration, given the sheer number of "if X is elected, I'm leaving the country" cases in popular culture.
