50 Things Being Killed Off By The Internet

The internet has wrought huge changes on our lives – both positive and negative – in the fifteen years since its use became widespread. Tasks that once took days can be completed in seconds, while traditions and skills that emerged over centuries have been made all but redundant.

The internet is no respecter of reputations: innocent people have seen their lives ruined by viral clips distributed on the same World Wide Web used by activists to highlight injustices and bring down oppressive regimes. Continue reading..

Record Texas Heat: Are We Done Yet?

Well, it looks like this summer's record heat wave here in the San Antonio area (as well as most of the state, too) might be over. Yesterday during a bike ride, I realized that 90 actually felt pretty good. Most nights during the last 2 ½ months have barely dipped into the 70s, but lately we've actually enjoyed a few nights in the low 70s. The picture above was taken in the car in late July.. at 8:31pm!

To make matters worse, we've also only gotten a couple inches of rain the last few months. Yards are burnt brown, creeks & river levels are way down, and most of San Antonio has already been into stage-2 watering restrictions for most of the month. Needless to say, we're all looking forward to autumn.

Here is the official National Weather Service report showing all of these incredible statistics. Note the number of consecutive 100° days about half-way down (72 in New Braunfels). I don't remember the actual number, but the previous record, set a LONG time ago was in the high thirties! By far this has been the hottest year on record.

KFC employees caught serving food from trash (Hong Kong)

Cellphone video taken by a deliveryman at the KFC in Yuen Long Plaza in Hong Kong.

The deliveryman told Hong Kong's Next Magazine that in order to get off work on time, staff turn off the ovens, throw away the unsold food, and start cleaning up. During this time if a customer walks in, employees will pick up the food from the trash and serve it to customers. The restaurant's manager apparently More..allows this to save money.

The outrageous behaviour is said to have been the combined result of young workers, low wages, and the shop management's demand to make their branch an 'A grade' one by saving costs.
