Don’t confuse annual salary with total compensation. The companies I worked for kept the “base pay” relatively low. In the lean years (and there are always lean years), living on the base pay was a challenge.

What’s It Like To Get Arrested In Japan?
I’m not a violent or evil man. I’ve paid all my taxes, never got into fights, never joined gangs, reported found wallets, helped the disabled, etc. Didn’t even drink till I was 20!
Arrest to the station:
As I was going to work, a guy stopped me and asked me if I was (my name). I told him yes. He told me he was with customs. Then 5-6 guys surrounded me as to prevent me from fleeing. Another guy came up to me and showed me a search warrant (later fond out he was the leader of the search party). I had to oblige as I thought saying no would just make things worse.
How Did Game Genies Work?
In general a Game Genie was designed to sit between the console and the cartridge and when the console asked the cartridge for data the game genie could secretly change it before passing it back to the console.
So for example you have a game where you start with 3 lives. That number 3 exists somewhere in the data or code on the cartridge.
How Does Welding Work?
Welding in its most basic form is simply heating two materials until they melt together, usually adding a bit of extra metal to make the joint stronger.
The most common type of welding is arc welding, which uses a small electric arc to generate the heat for melting the metals. And there are three main types of Arc welding, MIG, TIG, and Stick. While each one is different, they all use an electrode (to generate the arc), a filler metal (to create the weld bead) and something to ‘shield’ the weld from being contaminated by oxygen.

Why don’t school buses have seatbelts?
School buses are designed in a compartmentalized fashion, that is the seats are close together with high backs, which keeps passengers relatively restrained in a crash, even without seat belts. The NHTSA has spent a fortune studying this, and has found that adding seat-belts doesn’t increase the safety of school buses enough to warrant a full refurbishment or re-design of buses.

What is the Sunk Cost Fallacy?
The sunk cost fallacy refers to a thinking mistake people sometimes make when they consider past investments (such as time, money, or effort) in a decision-making process. It happens when someone continues investing in something, even though it no longer makes sense or brings benefits, simply because they have already invested so much.
