Valuing Friendship over Principle

No comments on Valuing Friendship over PrincipleLately, I’ve been spotting more and more cases of people valuing friendships over principle. Here’s what Quinn Norton, who was hired and then swiftly fired from the New York Times Opinion section for her offensive comments in the past, along with her friendship with neo-Nazi Andrew Auernheimer, said: I was called a Nazi because of…

Pro tip: if you can’t find a water fountain in an airport (common in the UK), don’t feel at all shy to ask a cafe for a cup, or to fill up your bottle. In my experience they’re almost always happy to oblige.

Nothing but respect for the best gallery in the Science Museum, The Secret Life of The Home. Hidden in the basement, it’s stood the test of time.

My Disney Navigator
Attendance at Disneyworld has grown by 14% since 2008, which has given rise to an entire ecosystem of official and third party ways to combat the crowds and plan the most efficient visit.

Disneyworld Day 6: Epcot
We needed to be at Epcot for 10:15am at the latest due to a valuable Fastpass, so we gave ourselves over an hour.
