How Overnight Shipping Works
Fairbs says...I remember hearing that the who came up with FedEx got a bad grade in his business school class because the idea wasn't considered possible; the cost of entry is all of those facilities worldwide plus all of the airplanes or in other words pretty damn high; and then you have to turn all of that on at the same time; so if you're first you pretty much have a monopoly and can set really high prices; so the rewards are extremely high, but so are the costs and risks

Engineer Mark Rober exposes cheating arcade machine
Fairbs says...I went to the pinball museum in Vegas and they talk about the history of some of the machines; I think I remember that in the early days some of them were used for gambling and they got banned; then the games became skill games, but there were still a few that from all appearances were skill games, but if you landed in the right spot the owner would pay you out illegally
The only reason pinball machines weren't banned (or were legalized) in most U.S. jurisdictions way back in the day was because they were a game of skill. How do redemption machines like this (that are computer controlled to only pay out some percentage of the time) skate by the anti-gambling laws?
Why Do Doctors Have Men Turn Their Heads and Cough?
Fairbs says...you and me both brother
I had a repair in the same spot about 20 years earlier and with that one the pain went away after I think about 6 months
Really, you people just let near strangers fondle your balls without questioning why?!?
I sure wish my Dr had told me to wait and see instead of scheduling surgery for the next morning, my surgery made things exponentially worse and now 5+ years later, I still have constant severe groin pain where before I just had a weird feeling when I coughed.

Is It Dangerous To Talk To A Camera While Driving?
Fairbs says...they should just promote it once and then ignorance of the law is your own fault
It does seem like a catch 22 situation. If the signs don't attract attention then...whats the point, but if they do then surely that is attention that would otherwise be on the road.
