Well now, let's not get our knickers in a twist! The beatings will continue until morale improves.

You'd have a future in modern sculpture. ;-) Okay, sorry sculptors! I like the brute force of the bat/garbage symbolism that seems so fitting in this day and age.

Fascinating.

Management and leadership values, character, and integrity matter because it's unwise to assume there is some homogenous allegiance to customers behind the propaganda of putting th…

I like this comment because it speaks to how we humans tend to not look (compare ourselves) down, but rather up. I don't strictly mean status, but...status. And the idea that one i…

Your comment reminds me of advice I once got as a young person: small talk is an invitation to talk, and if you don't get traction with small talk, you're not ever going to get dee…

No time for sadness? HA! War and suffering continues unabated, "surprise"! No, sadness becomes part and parcel of...everything! At least nowadays: New awesome toy! Kid got bad grad…

On the other hand, the poker apps encourage me to consider a career change. I regularly crush the "opposition" with my card-counting skills. World Series of Poker, I am all-in!!! ;…

Put another way, we are all competing with professional entertainers now. Sink or swim...

Regrettably, humans come along and need to prove themselves , so here we are. Being human: it's a feature, not a bug. (shrugs)

I'm not sure that was the point of the poster's question about electricity, because I've heard the same assertion made by science writers and such. Our current BFF, ChatGPT, says t…
