I was wrong. I’ve been lied to. And I’m going to have to pay the price. There are two things I care about in this life: Slim, and my club. If I don’t figure a way out of this mess, I’m going to lose them both. How can I fight a ghost? I know my dad was a piece of work, but I never expected this. I can’t keep holding Slim back, but the club will never accept us, and with criminal charges hanging over my head, I can’t ask him to wait for me.

Business owners feel they must have a team they can always see and track to get results.

He highlights the many benefits and troubleshoots possible problems with outsourcing.

And then came the science geeks, obsessing over digging out "the specimen" and "preserving history". Only thing is, for every day they're still invading our worksite, it's another day where we aren't getting paid nearly enough.

We’re supposed to be constructing condos, not waiting around for some scientists to dig out prehistoric bones! It's us versus them. Construction workers vs nerds. Me...versus him.

Escaping to a world of fantasy is something we all do. Be it a good book, a movie, or whacking your friends with foam bats, we all have a way to release from the day-to-day drive.

He spends most of his weekends at a castle encouraging others to act out their swords-and-sorcery dreams. But when a curious soldier walks into his life, the usually confident and creative single dad finds himself at a loss. And maybe just a little bit in awe.

Wenn jedoch die Natur stärker ist als unsere technologischen Fähigkeiten, sollten wir uns dann nicht mit ihr verbünden, anstatt sie zu bekämpfen? Schließlich hat sie uns mit der bewährten immunologischen Fähigkeit ausgestattet, Viren wie Corona effizient zu besiegen – sonst gäbe es uns schließlich nicht mehr.
