I so have to agree about boiling an egg being both simple & easy!
"we lied to you for your own good".
Thank you for patronising me and thinking I am so stupid I can't understand facts. Now go to hell you liar, I wouldn't even believe you if you said "hello".
Interesting. I enjoyed the server article. I have been thinking about that subject a lot lately, as the economy sucks.
I recently read a comment by a frugal expert person who said that "Fast Food jobs are for teenagers, adults need to work hard and find a new job." Which shows a really poor understanding of the economy and reality right now. I disagreed and apparently that was enough to get me banned.
Anyway, I was so upset I wrote a whole post on it, asking what is wrong with a minimum wage job? When did certain service jobs become so shameful? They haven' always been shameful
thought the piece on reading fiction was interesting. Of course, I read fiction by the boatload so I already knew this, but I thought it was well-stated: concise, yet supported by references.
And not didactic. Not "you should read fiction because" but "people benefit from reading fiction because."
