The manager of a Shell gas stop in California was fired this week after he accidentally trimmed more than $6 from his station’s premium fuel prices for three hours. Prices for premium gas at a Shell stop in Rancho Cordova, Calif., last Thursday were as low as 69 cents a gallon, after manager John Szczecina mistakenly adjusted the price from its original rate of $6.99. The last time gas sold for that little was in 1978. Szczecina’s story quickly went viral, as word spread and drivers… Source link

Family Guy took a bite out of the past on Sunday, with its own updated spin on a classic McGruff the Crime Dog commercial, first made popular in the early ’80s. In the episode, titled “Christmas Crime,” Brian the dog found himself in a bit of trouble and while trying to convince Mayor Wild West that he was one of the good guys, Brain claimed that he was briefly McGruff’s sidekick. That’s when the show cut away — in typical Family Guy fashion — to a classic McGruff PSA with Brian… Source link

“Instantly,” said Steven Bellovin, a professor of computer science at Columbia University with almost 40 years of experience in computer networking and security. That’s how long it took him to realize, he said in an interview, that a certain purported spreadsheet that I showed him was “not just fake, but a badly generated fake by someone who didn’t know what they were doing.” The spreadsheet, together with an animated film that was said to illustrate its data, formed the crux of a… Source link

The Telegraph Masters organisers plan revenge over bullish Bryson DeChambeau For Bryson DeChambeau, the 2020 Masters quickly became the Schadenfreude Open as his tie for 34th – five places behind 63-year-old Bernhard Langer – fell so laughably short of his grand pronouncements. So, will it be a humbler, more circumspect American who shows up here this week? Erm, sort of. “I was wrong to say that Augusta is a par 67 for me,” DeChambeau said. “It is a 68.” As climb-downs go, this is… Source link

Four-time NBA champion LeBron James hit back at Swedish soccer star Zlatan Ibrahimovic on Friday, saying there is no reason why he cannot have just as big an impact off the basketball court as he does on it. James has been a force for social change in America, focusing much of his attention on police brutality and racial injustice against African Americans. He was outspoken about the police shooting of Jacob Blake in Wisconsin last summer, against Donald Trump, and he worked with other NBA… Source link

Draymond Green and Klay Thompson had no patience for the Detroit Pistons’ sour grapes on Saturday night after the Golden State Warriors thrashed them 118-91. Well, it wasn’t so much the Pistons as it was Rodney McGruder, who attempted to engage with the Warriors after the final buzzer. He approached the Warriors tunnel and tried to have words with them over something Juan Toscano-Anderson said to his Pistons teammate Wayne Ellington in the first half of the game. Pistons swingman Rodney… Source link
