Scam alert: Someone is pretending to be me and reaching out to authors. The pitch contains enough specific details that it sounds plausible at first.
This is not me! I'm so sorry to anyone who has fallen for this.

Come on Apple, really? Your last “update” broke my AppleTV again! AppleTV no longer turns on/off my TV, and no longer controls the volume on my receiver. Why does this stop working with every other update? One update breakers it, the next fixes it, the next breaks it again, and so on. 🙏 fix.

In fact, just offer all the options up front alcoholic and non-alcoholic alike.
Just a friendly reminder as we go into the holidays:
Folks don't have to explain to you why they don't drink.
If you offer them a drink and they decline, don't ask them why. It's not your business.
Just offer them something without alcohol to drink instead. And move on.

This has happened to me in Bullitt County as well. Luckily, I didn’t fall for it.
The sheriff's office said it will never call, text, or message residents on social media to request or collect payments of any kind.

I see pieces like this a lot, often w/ a spin of lamenting cultural degeneration, but reading is a LABOR issue, it’s declined because so many people are working overtime or two jobs & employers expect after hours work. France has Earth’s highest reading rate b/c long lunch breaks & labor protections

Here’s a question - Do you believe that your workplace provided insurance shares none of your private health data/information with your employer? I know they’re not supposed to (HIPPA and all that), but what really goes on behind the scenes?
