For a while during the pandemic, I did my grocery shopping on Saturday nights to avoid the crowds. I found that Saturday-night shoppers, especially at the height of COVID, behaved differently from the people I was used to seeing at the store on pre-pandemic weekend mornings. The store had a grim,...

There’s vulnerability, and then there’s taking your skin off in public Vulnerability is a buzzword in business, and especially in coaching, because vulnerability is what we increasingly demand in our leaders. It’s the way we show courage, the way we forge connections with each o...

I usually write more serious pieces on this site, but today I decided to do something a bit more light hearted, and I had some fun with it. Super Mario Kart drove into our world back in 1992, and many iterations later, it is one of the most beloved videos games world wide. Although the game is wac...

This comes with the caveat that I have never gotten around to playing the Royal Edition of the game or the DLC episodes which I understand vastly improve the experience. I have however seen the Kingsglaive movie and the anime. It’s clear when you play the game that it went through development ...

How can Paris be the worst at anything? It is so beautiful. It is so historic. It has everything! All of that is true, but it is the worst to drive around. I drove over 6,700 miles across Europe, so I feel I have some experience in the matter. Driving on the “other side” in the UK too...

Life in ancient Rome was oft times unreasonably brutal. Whether you were a slave, soldier, or even an emperor; it was more than likely your death would be horrific and very, very public. Political or military power kept most people alive for a time, though it is a fleeting thing and shifts from pers...

You know how on dating shows you always get that one girl who says she’s a princess, then names an endless list of impossible demands? I am not that girl. That is not to say I have no standards. I have standards about many things — I’m very particular about where I live, the ...

Now, I can’t write more about it because I’m struggling to see my keyboard right now as tears flood my eyes. I can’t imagine, on the one hand, I’m doing really well in my work, reaching heights I never thought I could. My hard work is compounding, my risks are paying of...

Social media makes it far too easy for “gurus” to make proclamations that reach millions of people. That wouldn’t be so bad if only their advice wasn’t so dangerous to our financial well-being! Case in Point: Grant Cardone’s Recent Instagram Interview In a June...

There have been some pretty bad Hanukkahs in Jewish history. The ones that happened between 1933 and 1945 while antisemitic fascists raged across Europe were horrific. The ones in the years afterwards, celebrated by folks like my grandparents in DP camps in Austria or elsewhere were not so great eit...

I believe that the way that people are conditioned, not only when they are growing up but also through everyday life, is the main influence on why they make most decisions. Travis Hirschi’s social control theory focuses on how attachment, commitment, involvement, and belief contribute to wheth...

The visitation room at Raleigh Central Prison is small, dark and oppressive. It is divided in half by a thick glass sheet, encased in a rusted, steel frame. The tiny space is stiflingly hot. If I stretch my arms, I can touch both concrete walls at the same time. The glare from the overhead light mak...

Police believe that the gunman killed his father earlier in the day in his nearby hometown of Hostoun. Authorities also believe that the shooter was planning on killing himself; although the suspect died of his injuries following the shooting, it is not yet confirmed if his wounds were self-inflicte...

Trust is the fundament of any representative democratic system. All parties and politicians therefore have a genuine interest in creating and maintaining trust. This can only be achieved when people are able to anticipate or at least feel how they will act in a given situation. If their acti...

Thomas Midgley was a mechanical and chemical engineer, born in 1889 in Pennsylvania. A few years after graduating from Cornell University in 1911, he began working for General Motors. After 5 years of work, he came up with an absolutely ingenious invention. Internal combustion engines can have a pro...

THINKING ABOUT USING VITAMIN C TO FIGHT OFF A COLD? Don’t wait until you’re under the weather — here’s why you might want to start before the sniffles hit! Here’s the bottom line: Supplementing with vitamin C after a cold starts isn’t going to provide...

The cottage industry that is student dealing flourished around 2008; partly as a result of a decline in academic values within many British universities and partly due to the arrival of the student-favoured cheap stimulant mephedrone. By 2009, reports began to surface claiming that some people ac...

CVS is, quite literally, the worst pharmacy I have ever had the displeasure of working with. That title should be clickbait, but I am dead serious. I have had exactly one time where I requested refills and got them without a problem. One time. In just under a decade. Every other of the now ...

Living in the modern digital age, we are no strangers to minor inconveniences. People often use these as an excuse to make hyperbolic claims about “the worst year ever.” However, despite the many upheavals and unforgettable tragedies that have afflicted mankind across history, many histo...
