I appreciate the detail in your reply. I’m definitely a crafty DIY dad so the paracord thing is really cool. Thanks again for the tip on how to find out if it is available:)

Thanks for the reply! Does Amazon give you some recommendations to find the gems? I looked for a half dozen of the books I’m wanting to read and it doesn’t include any of those.

Can someone who has this clarify a question I have? Is it any Kindle book or it only some Kindle books? I’d hate to get it and then find most of the books I like (like new releases) not available for a long time.

Learn something new every day! (https://weather.com/news/news/flor…) I broke a window on a SUV at a Rocky Mountain National Park trailhead about 10 years ago on a day when it was about 100 degrees and there was a tiny Jack Russell terrier in the car. The ranger who came after my wife called to report “suspicious glass…

This was a shepherded case brought by Edward Blum (profile: http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa…) who is a champion of the conservative right and works to bring carefully chosen cases to court that limit race as a factor in a broad range of topics. Don’t think for a minute this case was all their girl’s idea - it’s…

This guy’s gonna be the hella-butt of every pier and wharf now.

Nope! My office has 4 lunch times and usually there is 7-9 men and 1-2 women at my lunch time. The guys mostly like it. The couple of apes we have joined in once they saw that there’s turkey/chicken/beef and they can bring in bread for a sandwich. In fact, the meatheads usually VOLUNTEER to bring in the meat so they…

I work in an office where we, once a week, all bring in 2 prepared healthy salad ingredients for lunch (random two unique picked from hat Friday before at lunch so we don’t have 19 cucumbers and nothing else Monday) the next Thursday for healthy salads Thursday and Friday. That way everyone spends a few minutes…

Someone needs to tell Anna Kendrick that she’s taking “end of watch” WAY too seriously.

I swear to G— that I went to a restaurant in a Florida vacation town once where the waiter explained they had a thematic menu with a “nuanced flow-through” (still a joke in my house) and the waiter described himself as an “experience guide”. It wasn’t even something like Per Se or French Laundry or an obscure Spanish…

The 40" Insignia smart tv sold out yesterday about 4 pm. Also, if you would be so kind, could you please keep an eye open for Foodsaver replacement rolls and bags? I got the starter set a few months ago from a deals post and am running low on the roll that came in the kit. Thanks!

I know times are tight over there at Deadspin but if you’re just going to repost stuff from 2010...

I know this sounds counter-intuitive but I think Alexa is getting dumber the longer I have an Echo. I was one of the preorders and have had an Echo for a while. I was hoping it would be able to do things like say what local channel a ballgame was on or have a tie-in to my MLBTV account where I could just say “Listen…

How many goddamn usb battery packs and cell phone dash mounts do I have to buy to keep the lights on around there!?! Just kidding. I honestly hope everything turns out okay. I like it here.

I wonder what food this decision will cause him to lose an appetite for.

I used to live 8 blocks away from Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago. Now-Mrs. 4thdesk and I would just wander through walking on the weekends. We live in SomeBoringSuburbville now and have some of the little boys from the article who run around buttassnaked all the time and think back to the amazing shit we used to just go…

Remember that it cost Russia an equal amount to build a basic road in Sochi that was 7 miles shorter. Amazing what infrastructure spending can accomplish when it isn't all pissed away on graft and dachas.

David Blatt is Taub from House, M.D.

I agree! I’m a bookstore person and when the Borders bookstore by me closed I thought it was going to be a good chance to pick up a whole bunch of “lending library” YA lit for my classroom. Since I went there a lot I knew the prices pretty well. The liquidators jacked UP the prices to the max and then started with…

So what will 3/4ths of Oregon do while the official car of Portland and east to Mt. Hood is being recalled?
