Egg Tax
So I do quite a bit of Accounting Information Systems work (AIS). I always have to write a report that does this or that to comply with some governmental agency or to give the boss the information they want. This is the strangest report I have ever written and I call it the Egg Report. [...]
New Problem with Electric Cars
Apparently, a previous feature of electric cars has been determined to actually be a bug. While an electric motor significantly decreases the amount of noise pollution produced by a moving vehicle, it simultaneously makes it extremely dangerous for pedestrians who forgot what their mothers taught them at an early age: Look both ways before crossing [...]
