Too bad Kimye aren't getting married in that fake, unfinished Versailles replica in Florida. Seems more appropriate.

It looks like she stole Mary Kate Olsen's wardrobe/hair/everything from The Wackness.

You're completely correct. At that point, you just have to figure out if the risk is worth it, I suppose. Risk accumulates with any activity - the more you cross the street, the more you could get hit; the more you bike to work, the more chance you have of getting hit by a car. Statistically, risks like that are "with…

That totally blows :( I remember some train/track fires on CTA, and watching some trains arrive/depart, it's not hard to see why.

I'm just in love with trains and used to be a freight broker, so I don't take the rail argument lightly. But it's difficult. Why the hell is Amtrak so slow? It operates on rail it doesn't own. Freight takes priority. That's part of why you're going to sit around for a while. And putting commuter rail on existing…

Do you have the option of taking a day or two and riding with him before letting him go on his own? Maybe that could help. I found it helpful to learn about how my local PT system works (these bus numbers mean they go through downtown at some point, these numbers mean they go east/west only or north/south only, etc)…

It's true. It leaves a lot to be desired. When I was in Paris one summer I had some gross dude on a packed, hot train essentially grind on me and there wasn't enough room for me to get away. It was pretty fucking gross.

Eh - there are public transit horror stories, but considering the amount of public transit running every day, the likelihood of something like what happens in these instances isn't all that common (minus the pee thing, and possibly busted AC). For as much as people rag on public transportation, it can actually be…

I've had three concussions (all in October 2013) and while I've mostly recovered, there are things that I'm still experiencing that I'm hoping aren't longer term or permanent. I went through the "standard" pain/nausea/confusion/depression/slowness/balance problems, etc. and most of that has died down, but I'm still…

You're exactly right, I think. Facebook is so ingrained in our culture now, and "friendship" is as easy as acknowledging existence, it seems like. But when you break it down and really think about it, do I need to know that my ex-boyfriend from high school thinks it's cool that I'm going to a particular concert? Or…

After dealing with exactly this for a while (I have a good job! College degree! Own apartment! Etc!), I backed up my Facebook profile and deactivated my account (instead of deleting it, just in case I wanted to go back at some point). I can't tell you how much it helped. I think I was "off it" for about a month and a…

This person would have been far better off with the DUI (obvs). Capital murder in the state of Texas is punished by the death penalty or life without parole. This person is charged with two counts, plus 23 of vehicular assault, and if any of those folks pass away, I'd assume the corresponding charge would escalate.…

She used to have a Portal-themed line that was amazing.

Their track jackets work great for screen printing purposes, which is why I've ended up with three of them so far (sports teams/orgs that printed on them). I also have two pairs of tights - they're the only store I could find that had adult tights in opaque white and also had opaque burnt orange. They also don't slide…

I was just thinking about this - what does she feel like right now? I'd imagine guilty (though of course it isn't her fault) and probably despondent. Sometimes you can do all you can for someone and they've at least got to give an inch. I hope she's able to come to terms with what happened eventually and if she feels…

I know Philip Seymour Hoffman is a celebrity and I didn't know him and would likely never, ever run into him, but his death feels oddly personal. He was one of the only actors I felt really invested in and it felt like he was somehow more accessible to me in a way I can't explain. I hate that this happened and hate…

Waterproof mascara aaaaaaaaaaaaaand GO!

It sounds the same - a .22 difference sounds negligible and both numbers technically round to 2. But when you apply those values to a huge population, that difference becomes larger.

Semantics they may be, but still an important distinction that many don't really understand. The terms aren't interchangeable in the culinary hierarchy.

Edit: "entry-level chefs" should be "entry-level cooks" (as per CheeseWhiffs' comment).
