Back in 2013, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) started a program for travelers known as PreCheck. The goal of the program was to make the security process easier for frequent US travelers, and after using it myself for 4+ years I can confidently say it’s a must-have item. PreCheck costs $85 for 5 years of access, giving members access to separate security lines in airports around the US. These special lines are almost always shorter than the “standard” lines and they also...

Spoiler Alert: This review is a discussion of No Time To Die, 2021’s James Bond Film. I’ll be talking about substantial parts of the plot. If you want to see it, but haven’t, here is my one-paragraph, spoiler-free version: No Time To Die is, in my view, the best Bond film to date. It has all of the usual components: exotic locales, awesome style, and fast-paced action with gorgeous cars. More importantly, though, it’s a Bond film for today’s complicated world, and Daniel Craig’s last...

At this point in my life, I’ve been studying and teaching philosophy for a decade. In that time, I’ve also grown from a student into an experienced teacher who mentors others on a daily basis. Over that time, there have been lots of works that have influenced the way I understand myself, the world, and the people in it. I’m not going to pretend it’s a ten-best list or something like that: there are simply too many excellent books out there for me to make that claim. Instead, here are ten...

Everyone beer drinking has their favorite “cheap” beer. Whether it be at a time of need or you’re just craving something cheap, big gas station beers are hard to beat. After some debate about which of these beers was the best, we decided to set up a blind taste test with 10 different beers. We realize malt liquor may not technically be beer, but for the sake of the test we went ahead and included some anyways. Experiment setup: Beers were poured into glasses numbered 1-10. Participants did...

There’s been a lot of hype recently about chicken sandwiches at fast food restaurants. They’re all claiming superiority, but only one sandwich can be the best. You probably don’t care enough to try them all, so we did it for you. Yes, we’ve missed a few, but who really eats the old version chicken sandwich at the 3rd tier chain?

Who were the funniest comedians during the Coronavirus Pandemic? "wait, what, what the heck are you doing" I hear you might be asking. :D Stick with me for just a minute. I think this is an important comedic time for us quarantined at home glued to streaming media like YouTube. Not only were we a captive audience, but we needed some humor maybe more than any other time in our lives. Beyond that who were the comedians that worked hard and kept the comedy coming out. Performing a...

I spent years working on a dual monitor setup and just recently purchased an ultrawide monitor to replace them in my home office. The monitor I bought is an 34” Acer CB342CK (3440x1440) with a 21:9 aspect ratio, and I only use it for “standard” office work (no video editing, photoshop, gaming, etc.) so some of the more expensive options weren’t necessary. I managed to buy it certified refurbished for $280, which seemed very reasonable given the cost of other similar options. The main factors...
