Shocked that not one mention of Upton Sinclair in that article. It's literally half the plot of The Jungle.

Sorry, you didn't subscribe to NATO+, so you get un-skippable ads in your radar screens. Hopefully nobody fires any missiles while you watch 3 of the exact same 15 second ads for RAID: SHADOW LEGENDS

I understand how you feel, but reading your story, I think when you were grabbing the product and telling him to "just drop it an leave" is what ended your career.

It sucks, you got attacked, but you don't need to trade your personal safety for some store product.

Just based on this story here, where you are giving a very one sided view of the situation, you intentionally put yourself at risk and kept escalating. I hate that a criminal put you in a situation where you ended up getting fired, but there was more than one mistake here.

Networked cameras used for security should have local storage to buffer when the network isn't available, regardless of if you're using wired or wireless.

Nope, I was wrong, it's from an Anime, Tower of God. Still looks ripped right out of a Thor comic.

Not sure where it's from, but it kinda looks like Beta Ray Bill. My guess is some sort of Avengers/Thor animated movie.

It's an interesting story anyway, kind of fun how the early days of the internet people just decided to build stuff and that random little tool from decades ago continue to be the backbone of much of the world. Imagine if all that stuff was proprietary...

The seed is paying teachers more, and it gets watered with support from administrators and the soil is better safety nets for parents.

Nailed it right here. West was a perfectly good Batman for his time, but Keaton is fantastic and aged well. No one else comes close.

The intent of the proverb isn't that bad people don't get good things, it's that a person who is cheating doesn't get value out of the activity.

If you go through life cutting corners, you don't actually get to learn and build a strong foundation.

You can still be rewarded with jobs, money, and sycophants, but that's not what really matters.
