"It breaks my heart more than you know that we were not able to find someone to continue on this wonderful sandwich shop and deli," Pepper Tree Deli owner Dana Brunet said with a half-hearted smile.

Humans never moved out of caves; we just started building and living in our own custom caves. Companies don’t like employees talking about their salaries but expect you to tell them your salary from your previous job. The higher your phone battery percentage is by the end of the day, the better your day was. Top secret documents used to be kept on computers to keep t...
