BRB sending this to my ex.

Right? I have very little sympathy for the woman (who can’t benefit from it), plenty for her family (who might), and the insight to know that I’ve never, even once, heard someone crowing about the “Darwin Awards” who was actually a credit to the species themselves.

There’s something so funny to me about an uninteresting grump retorting, when they’re called out, that they’re not an uninteresting grump, they just have no sense of probability and so every half-likely headline makes them fear for their family. You didn’t for a second think or expect that anyone you give a shit about…

All of these things look very fun, and eminently survivable. Look how much fun you can have without putting your life on the line!

As the incident took place on the Dutch side of the island, Sint Maarten is correct.

It should look fine - sew first, cut second, so that you’ve got lining fabric to line up the pocket properly.

And, judging by that cast photo, my Other Fave Daniela Sea as well. She’s a shitty actor (or was pretty painfully bad way back when, maybe she’s improved) but I do not care at all at all, for I am shallow and find her devastatingly attractive.

Right? Every time a reporter mentions a Trump family gaffe of any magnitude and intimates or says that this is evidence of their stupidity/naiveté/inexperience, I have to wonder: how stupid is it to act like you’ll never in your life see a consequence, no matter how nefarious your actions, when everything we’ve seen…

I can also sympathize - I recently (and suddenly) hit that age where I went from being able to eat anything to having to really watch my diet, and it’s a rough transition emotionally. I reckon Noel’s done the same, as I seem to remember him seeming a bit thicker last year on Buzzcocks, while in the GBBO promo he seems…

I doubt it - my grandfather signed up for whole-body donation to the University medical school once he became too old to be a viable organ donor, so it was easy for them to send him back. If you donate via other means, the body is often sectioned off and used in several different places. It’s a great way to get the…

I second the book rec, and also a story Radiolab recently did about parents who donated their newborn’s body to science. I hope I never have to make a similar decision, but having heard the reverence the doctors have for these precious, lifesaving materials would definitely make it an easier decision for me.

Mary Roach’s book Stiff opens with a scene of a bunch of doctors practicing facelifts on a bunch of donated heads in a scenario that sounds a lot like what your company does. She points out that some people might not like the idea of their body being used for this or even more frivolous purposes, but I think that…

FWIW, my grandfather donated his body to the local state university, and we were still able to do the mourning/ritual stuff that we needed to be able to move on. We held a passing-of-life ceremony instead of a funeral/burial. A year later, we got his ashes back from the University with a letter of thanks, and we were…

Right? Under this scheme, we have to wait until this batch of kids grows up and STILL gets shot by the cops before we can acknowledge the already-apparent reality, which is that no further burden for good behavior needs to be placed on the public - it’s the police who need to be taught how to interact like goddamn…

Tomatoes (and strawberries as well) are just so weird - people tend to be allergic to them raw OR cooked, but it’s really rare to be allergic to both. I’m glad it’s not a problem I have, since I can’t imagine trying to explain that true-but-odd distinction to other people.

I applaud you on this, as I think teaching your kids to cook in a very basic way is probably the single most important thing you can do for them having to do with food. It just touches on so many other life skills and good habits, and helps build the family as a community, which I imagine is an important part of…

I’ve never had to go the whole first year, but I have had to go 6 months - assuming this is for your vacation time, not your sick leave or public holidays, and that you’re still accruing the vacation time at the normal rate even if you can’t use it.

One of my friends works at the medieval banquet that operates in the wine cellar of one of the old warehouses at the St. Katharine Docks in London, and David Suchet lives in one of the swanky flats that make up the upper floors of the same building. My friend says he sees him going about his business sometimes. It’s…

As a pre-teen, I could easily polish off a full rack of Outback ribs by myself. I weighed less than a hundred pounds, I could probably figure out what percentage of my own body weight I was consuming at one go, but I honestly think it might be too horrifying to be worth it.

I know this shit has been going on for years and it’s not her fault that this video got released concurrent with a suicide bomber murdering two dozen kids and teens at another pop star’s show, but boy I extra do not give a shit about this feud today of all days.
