Mr. Wizard gets no love. Also, I second the Hank Green > N. D. Tyson motion.
I think I dated Apple back in college.
Sadly, this is normally how it goes. You are sharp, alert and vital, then suddenly EVERYTHING does a Thelma & Louise off the Grand Canyon.

“Made in Italy” is sometimes just “Made in China”. Chinese factory staffed by Chinese labor in a Chinese “factory town”, that happens to be in Italy. You are not getting the hand made, expertly constructed, master craftmanship you are paying for.
That headline is a brand new sentence.
I know all the dog’s names in my neighborhood and not a single human.

I wonder how they got out.
