Particular Things America Has That Europe Doesn't


Is 24-hour access to root beer worth having to pay out the ass for an ambulance? Debatable. On the one hand, hesitating to call an ambulance could result in the loss of someone's life. But on the other hand, root beer is pretty good dude.

Twitter Thread: Revealing A Forgotten Parisian Subway Station


Tim Mc Erney took to Twitter to explain the intriguing remains of an old Paris metro station, relatively untouched by time.

Employee Told By Coach Not To Help Coworkers, Company Tanks, Coach Gets Fired


It seems like this "coach" didn't like the idea of another qualified professional being able to give coworkers direction within their job, and decided that things like "help" and "advice" aren't acceptable in the workplace.
