There are many reasons this may fail. But I don't believe lack of technology or engineering or testing would be what makes it fail.

Grandpa doesn't text. He can't see very well and his fingers are too big and stiff to type on the phone.

The Democrats have energetic, sincere health care policy nerds that understand US healthcare and can write complex legislation like the Affordable Care Act. The Republicans don't have these kinds of people. Republicans will never produce a viable alternative to the ACA.

Yes, I was being sarcastic. This thing is posted every few months. Apparently there are a lot of people that really want to believe that their favorite recreational drug is actually a cure-all.

Everyone wants this to be true, so let's just agree that it's true.

I've always wondered why they chose this complex way to express the profile. Could have just told us the distance from rim to edge.

Fake. Cobol programmers think mice are for pussies. If you can't remember the keyboard commands to move your cursor around the terminal, then you have no business with a login on the mainframe.

The Pritzker family owns Hyatt. So if you want to support this guy with your spending choices, stay in a Hyatt.

Water expands when it turns to steam. Before you create steam, it's good to think about where that steam might want to go.

These stories are fun if you know nothing about archeologists and you imagine them to be snooty, ivory-tower academics that don't collaborate with anthropologists and local experts.

Those vintage-style clothes may be expensive, but old cars and cameras are cheaper than you might think. The Silent Generation is almost gone and they are the last ones to have first-hand experience with cars like Model A Fords. They kept these cars out of nostalgia. But these cars often sell for cheap when they are inherited by their Boomer or Gen X kids.

This drawing is from the 1981 book "101 Uses for a Dead Cat" by Simon Bond. I had this book when I was a kid. I always liked dark humor.

She has a scorpion tattoo on her neck and the Abarth logo is a scorpion. Nice foreshadowing.

Fun fact: There are politicians that represent you at the city, county and state level and it's actually pretty easy to get time with these people. Most of them are happy to talk to constituents and they're interested to hear what's on your mind. If you want to improve the world, have coffee with a politician and actually talk to them instead of posting snarky comments online.

OK, but what if the hotel room was super nice and had a coffee machine and mini-fridge?

Like a lot of people, my first job in software development was in QA. But this was a mistake. I was young and naive and I believed all the crazy stuff developers told me about why the bugs weren't their fault. Now I'm older and wiser but I've moved on from QA. You need dedicated, experienced people to do QA right and these people are in short supply.

Now you tell me. That guy totally insulted my servant and gave him the wrong grade of copper. Where's my stylus and clay? I'm going to give that guy a piece of my mind ...

Our neighborhood has a small, non-profit water system. We like it this way. More rules makes it hard for us to keep it. We may need to sell.
