Why was the American federal corrections system harder to escape compared to Colombia's?
This is based off of my conclusions from watching Narcos.

Trying to buy right size bicycle wheel online
Needed a replacement 700C front wheel for my commuter bike after the old aluminum rim exploded like a looney tunes cannon.

So awkward, but come on it says right there on the package to wash those mushrooms or whatever it is… You’re not their mom but you don’t wanna eat feces or whatever ended up on the produce. A quick rinse is never going to be perfect but it’s better than nothing....

How many people actually want fully on-site IT jobs?
I’ve been looking for a new job as a software developer. The huge majority of job listings I see in my area are hybrid or remote. I just had an introductory phone call with Vizio (which didn’t specify the location type in the job listing). The recruiter told me that the job was fully on-site, which I told her was a deal...
