Same. This one came onto my radar when posted by someone from whom I had the impression of good sensibilities. When I commented to say why the idea was bunk (and dangerous) I was met with a “you can have your opinion, let’s agree to disagree” response. I hate that conversation-ending line. It’s fine if we’re talking…

Actually, it leans really heavily on the pseudoscience, and suggests we should be treating COVID-19 patients by putting their beds outside in the sun.

It’s not even funny. I mean, of course racism isn’t funny, but if you substituted in some other more appropriately hated group—let’s just go with racist hicks—it’s still not a good bit.

I thought I was sitting pretty with a giant brick of yeast in the freezer when this all started, then quickly remembered that our fridge died while we were on a cursed vacation last fall and the person housesitting for us threw out all of its contents. I know the yeast would have been fine but we were in another state…

I know you suggested setting privacy to friends only as a last resort for those who just can’t help themselves, but I want to expand on it with a clarification about why this isn’t a bulletproof solution.

Great work in this article. If you have time, I’d love to see someone post a similar debunking to this Medium article going around with the claim that fresh air is the best treatment for COVID-19. Link below, and I’ll give you a head start: Look at what else the author has published, prior to the pandemic. Also, I’m…

Fair enough, but I don’t think most of the “bacon enthusiasts” are talking about bacon alternatives such as these.

Please don’t give in to the anti-islamic, antisemitic cultural zeitgeist of demonizing as strange or inherently un-American the notion that anyone would choose not to consume bacon.

Nice work finding games that are mostly available on every major platform.

Yes! These are two my wife and I loved playing together. Never Alone was pretty short but a great game. Unraveled 2 was shear perfection.

I hear some people go straight to third base. When you’re a star, they let you do it.

Would you say the same thing about Hitler?

Sure, but I definitely won’t do that for every machine I service. Kind of defeats the time-saving purpose of a shortcut. I could do that on my personal machines, but that would just keep me from getting out of the habit which I’d need to do in that case.

Hold up, Microsoft is planning to re-map Win+R to something other than “Run”? I’m gonna have an issue with that. Also feeling insulted that you’ve described “Run” as “little-used.” Makes me think you’re one of those people who tells people to go to Start > Windows System > Command Prompt when you’re giving them…

Letting the grass grow is definitely not reserved to just the hillbilly motocross animal abusers. Personally I cut mine as little as possible to do my small part for the environment. Lawns are actually one of the most effective natural air cleaners in many parts of America, but obsessive mowing kneecaps that crucial…

People suck. This article shouldn’t even have to exist, but I’m glad it does if it helps to hammer some common sense through at least one thick skull.

If you want a premium-feel in a slim wallet I highly recommend Serman Brands. I use the super slim edition below, but they also have one in pretty much the exact same form factor as the Kubi here, except it looks nicer and is made from genuine leather.

Just hearing mention of the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program makes me angry. My wife has worked a decade in public service under the impression that her remaining loan would be forgiven, only to have Betsy DeVos come in at the 11th hour and deny almost every claim just when she became eligible along with…

Tangentially related: A lot of people don’t realize that when you’re instructed to self-monitor, that should include taking your temperature twice a day.

Here’s an example of how the basic facts are being reported in Alabama, but with a skew to make it seem like it’s a good thing. Meanwhile I just saw a doctor yesterday who told me she wanted to do a COVID-19 test but couldn’t, and that she’s been pleading with her superiors for months to implement protocols that have…
