    McDonald’s Removing Big Mac, Apple Pies And Eliminating Large Size Options

    Yeah, there's no way they'd eliminate not only their Signature Sandwich, but the best selling sandwich on the menu. They're eliminating 8 items, and getting rid of some ingredients. Meaning, instead of 9 different Quarter Pounder variations, you'll have 1. Instead of 16 different Happy Meals...

    Two NYPD Officers Dead After Execution-Style Ambush

    Yeah. I managed a restaurant in Nashville and had a lot of black employees, mostly in their teens and early 20s, many of whom lived over in the projects across the interstate from the football stadium. I can't recall a single one of the black males that talked about it saying they had never been...

    Two NYPD Officers Dead After Execution-Style Ambush

    That may be true, but for many black people these are extraordinary times that are outside reason. I had a Border Patrol agent (3 of them simultaneously, actually) draw their weapons and point them right at me. I absolutely feared of being shot. And it wasn't because I had escalated it, either...

    I think the Construction Simulator is Kindle only. It's not compatible with my HTC One M8 either. The Angry Birds Space is a Kindle Fire edition, as well.

    Two NYPD Officers Dead After Execution-Style Ambush

    Two NYPD Officers Dead After Execution-Style Ambush

    Well, so far, the only person to corroborate that the dead guy pointed a gun at the cop is, the cop. But it's certainly not hard to imagine, especially in the current climate, that the dead guy legitimately feared for his life as the cop approached, and thus pulled out to gun in self defense...

    How to get to Maine

    I've been to Maine several times. I don't know of any regular shippers to there, other than the Naval yard at Newport-News and Norfolk where they ship a lot of stuff back and forth to the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard submarine base at Kittery. Rhode Island was my unicorn for a long time. I had...

    THERE'S A LARGE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SHOUTING WITH ALL CAPS, THE OPERATIVE WORD BEING "ALL," and in capitalizing an individual WORD for emphasis in lieu of using italics or underline or bold or some other method of emphasizing a word. Before WYSIWYG editors came to the Internet, capitalizing a...
