Overall, pretty good. Until…

Dear Boss,
I have enjoyed working here these past several years. You have paid me very well, given me benefits beyond belief. I have 3-4 months off per year and a pension plan that will pay my salary till the day I die and a health plan that most people can only dream about.
However, I plan to take the next 12-18 months to find a new position.
During this time I will show up for work when it is...

Shocker, right? The science was sound after all, it was just interpreted by people that have no business trying.

Why do people bother backing into parking spaces? It takes three times as long to get in and blocks everyone on both sides while the attempt is being made.
There’s one person outside the office now on her thir- no, fourth try now to back into a spot when there are 12 spots available on the other side of the row.

Dylan Ratigan, Mad as Hell: His Epic 'Network'...
megrobertson:
We’ve got a real problem…this is a mathematical fact. Tens of trillions of dollars are being extracted from the United States of America. Democrats aren’t fixing it, Republicans aren’t stopping it — an entire integrated system, banking, trade and taxation, created by both parties over a period of two decades is at work decimating our entire country right now. MSNBC’s Dylan...

I think git is a lot like the Borg. People fear it because they see it as so drastically different than they want to be, put up a courageous fight against learning it and its ways, clinging to the paradigms they know and are comfortable with, and then one day, after weeks or months of fighting and constant exposure they just give up, tired of having problems using it, and learn just enough to get...
