Early 2019 includes the "US election politicing/trolling/flame warrioring takes a temporary slow down". I'm eager to enjoy that feature.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

New workplace research found that when it comes to offering assistance at work, it's better to keep to yourself or wait until you're asked. I guess I shouldn't have posted this until you asked?

Article says: Johnson surveyed 54 employees between the ages of 21 and 60 who worked full-time jobs across a variety of industries, including manufacturing, government, health care and education. He collected data over 10 days for a collective 232 daily observations to assess daily helping, receipt of gratitude, perceived positive social impact and work engagement.
Seriously? 
I do agree with some of the points, but... 54 surveys?
There are people that would never ask for help, even when they will need it as much as breathing.
There are people that will ask for help in every small situation and still will not thank you at all.
There are a huge gray zone in between. That's where healthy common sense and knowing your co-workers come to play.

As microplastics permeate remote places and species around the globe, people are no exception. So... we need to eat bigger plastics? Or is this saying we need to chew more?
This health advice is so confusing.

The advice is actually simple: remove the plastic foil from your food before you eat it. (Or for chefs: remove the plastic foil before you cook/fry/bake it.)

Working overtime, or crunch, as it’s more commonly called, has been part of the gaming industry for years. 'Crunch time' shouldn't be 'all the time'
Of course, if you *really* want to, feel free. I'll be having a cocktail on the deck in the meantime.
Yes, it was only three weeks in this case, but I have had managers call for "crunch time" at the *beginning* of a project in the past.
