I have to admit I like the tortiseshell and marbled turquoise. I almost never wear nail polish, and 90% of the time I do, it’s clear, because my nails are one of the few things on my body I really like and polish doesn’t do anything to improve them. (If only my hair grew as fast and strong as my nails...) But I might…

Right? It looks like their nails are sprouting warts or something, and they’re trying to cover it up with pearly nail polish but nobody’s buying it.

Ugh! Never seen those before. When was that a thing?

expected the C.A. to be something crazy awesome

Well, yeah, the usual rationale for noncompetes doesn’t make any sense here, which is why those agreements are such bullshit. I suspect the reason they do it is to dissuade their employees from looking for a better job somewhere else, so JJ’s can keep treating them like crap.

Do the medical bills have to be “extremely high” though? Think of it this way: my dad drives drunk and hits you. Even after your health insurance covers its portion, you owe a couple grand to the hospital. Now, assume you can afford this, but there’s a lot of things you’d rather do with that money, right? If my dad…

I am dead.

I don’t think it works that well. It sounds like you still have to know who your children are in order to figure out what they’re up to. ;-)

Is it at all like the excerpts from the Vanity Fair interview? Because they did not make me want to read her books. I can see she has a lot of interesting thoughts, but the way she expresses them is...well, like you said, tedious.

They make their employees sign ridiculous non-compete agreements that severely limit their future employment prospects. http://kitchenette.jezebel.com/jimmy-johns-no…

It’s not a matter of Windows 10 immediately replacing all other operating systems. It’s a matter of one of the largest companies in the business making a decision that may carry over into all future operating systems if it proves popular. If there’s enough outcry—like this article you’re rolling your eyes at—this…

I am still trying to make fetch happen wrt the caramel = asshole thing.

Yes, these things have been around as an option for a long time. The whole going-to-a-friend’s-house option will be a lot less viable when parental reports are the default on everyone’s computer. See the difference?

That’s a really good idea; thanks!

I think they are, but not so much because they’re too lazy to turn it off, but because of what it may mean for other children. Making this feature standard on an OS that a huge percentage of people use on their home computers is taking us in a direction that many of us don’t want to go, even if we as individuals can…

Easily turned off by the parents, who are the ones who represent a danger to kids who may be looking up info the parents don’t approve of. Are you unaware that children have been beaten or thrown out of their homes for being gay/trans?

Anti-abortion misogyny protects a lot of assholes.

I think a fairer comparison would be to say your dog deserves more credit for helping keep the floors clean when he does shit on them. Part of the reason Katrina was such a disaster was that Bush appointed his inept buddy to head FEMA.

Christ. I’ve been tearing my hair out the last few years just because none of the doctors listed on my insurance company’s website are actually accepting new patients, even though they’re all listed as such. I finally get through to someone who can see me in six months and I hesitate, because I’m not sure if there are…

You might also try using a nail buffer, especially if it’s just stains from nail polish—they should be very superficial.
