Yeah, I realize this whole article is tongue in cheek, but if you are doing something physical outside and it’s not all that cold, you can work up a lot of heat. There have been plenty of times I’ve stopped in the middle of shoveling show and taken my jacket off.

Yeah, but did 100% of the people with “shitty busted up cars” cause problems or only a subset of them?

If there are any prospective renters visiting this apartment complex who have been put off by simply seeing some cars with dents or rust on them

I still listen to the podcasts, partly out of masochism and partly for what I still like about the station. I wanted to jump ship to wherever Goff landed, but I don’t have enough interest in college sports to listen to purely Big Ten talk (especially not to pay for it).

The way the Score is going, they’ll probably fire somebody and give Greg Gabriel his own show.

There is absolutely no way that a GM should keep his job when he fires the coach after anything less than three years. And I would argue three is borderline. Barring some bizarre personal misconduct, if you fire a coach after one year you are admitting that you totally screwed up one of your biggest job…

Cut to a month later, we all get an e-mail from the sister, who is so happy that so many people RSVP’d yes, because that meant that instead of one night out in our hometown, they could move the party to a beach house on a fucking island. What started as one night was now a four-day “long weekend” where we would all…

I get that Olive Garden is somewhere between bad and mediocre depending on what your other options are, and unquestionably overpriced, but a place would have to be really, really bad for me to be unwilling to use gift cards for free meals there.

I don’t know how the first conclusion regarding a player who took PEDs is anything other than “he shouldn’t have taken PEDs,” but apart from that: Clemson isn’t playing a meaningless bowl game. They’re in the playoff. I am glad that public opinion is shifting fast when it comes to players sitting out of their 7-5…

This is how a man can kill 58 people in a major American city, and injure a staggering 851, and a year later, not only do we have no idea why he did it, we aren’t even all that bothered that we don’t.

I can’t help feeling like there’s a bit of hyperbole there. I was a high school student when Columbine happened, and while it was a huge story because it was so unprecedented, nobody I knew was contacting anyone to see if they were okay because we were in the suburbs of Chicago and it would have made less than zero…

I, too, generally like physical tickets and still have a ton of ticket stubs from concerts I attended in the early 2000s. But the real insidious thing about digital-only tickets is that it gives venues even more control over what you can do with the tickets you purchased, and makes it harder for you to resell or even…

It really depends on exactly how much driving was done on highways.

I like Ellen, but her Spectrum commercials that are played approximately 83 times an hour are really testing that.

I don’t know why you’d conclude that the government failing to subsidize single people = hate. (I’m also not sure where you get the idea that married couples are choosing for one spouse not to work based on less than $5k/year in federal income tax savings, for that matter).

The Jared Goff who seemed like an obvious MVP candidate three weeks ago is nowhere to be seen

Yeah, I think at worst this turns out to benefit both sides as you’ve said. The fact is that lots of receivers have looked like all-pros for a few games in a row; based on the larger body of work from Cooper’s NFL career, I think getting a 1st round pick for him when his current contract runs out after 2019 (and 2019…

I don’t get the pancake take at all. Good pancakes (light and fluffy) are hard to find, and I don’t know anyone who makes them that way at home. There is a restaurant I go to specifically for the pancakes. Yes, bad ones are really bad, but can’t you say that for almost any breakfast food?

You sound like a thoughtful business owner who realizes that you employ people, not resources. As such, you probably realize that many of the constraints that employees have outside of work - doctor’s appointments, child care, and then just plain real life - aren’t always flexible on short notice. And I would argue…

Gotta say I’m surprising at how many people are suggesting $20 to start and then more tips later on. How much are you drinking at these types of events? I often do throw in $20 at the beginning because I don’t have small bills, but that works out in the end to a pretty darn generous per-drink tip (probably $3-4/per).…
