Regulators must have a way to hold Amazon accountable for this. Amazon also sells the famously illegal Kinder Surprise Eggs, but they’re buried beneath the more legal Kinder Joy Eggs and if you reach them, they’re massively overpriced and carry a warning. Searching for “male to male extension cord” puts the expected…

I think you’ve perhaps only experienced healthy workplaces. I’ve seen situations where I or someone else was treated this way for reasons that are entirely unjustifiable. The idea that anyone saying it’s someone else’s fault is automatically the real problem is dangerously wrong as a broad rule.

That’s very good information; thank you so much! Fortunately, I’m not staying there any more. It was always a temporary arrangement while the tornado damage was repaired. Supply chain issues and labor shortages meant the house took an extra six months beyond what insurance covered for temp housing, but we bought a new…

Can you do that if the evidence you present clearly shows an amount due that exceeds the statutory limit? I’m owed $7000 explicitly for the deposit, if I don’t go after them for anything else (they illegally posted evictions on our door for non-payment three times when we had proof wire transfers were completed prior…

Any advice for when the landlord refuses to return the deposit, declines to give a legal reason for doing so, and the amount is conveniently just above the limit for small claims court, making it much too low for a lawyer to be interested in taking the case?

Perhaps I’m just a glutton, but I’d rather put those things in a pie crust or cake.

It’s always seemed to me that choux was a ton of work for something which, when prepared perfectly, is just kind of “meh.” I never really enjoy those challenges on the Bake Off.

I’m not sure you’re reading Ari Fleischer’s tweet in the way it was meant. It really comes across to me like he’s saying Trump had no excuse not to hand over the documents.

That’s not accurate. Paint was updated to read and save more formats, but it still can’t handle transparency, and any image saved with the program will lose what transparency may have been present before. Even it’s a PNG file.

It is true of any red state, absolutely. I would add that those assholes make their presence felt even in the blue areas. I’m a lifelong Birmingham native, and nary a day passes I don’t suffer the will and influence of the red rural majority.

Wow, you guys really recycle everything and proof nothing, huh?

Maybe I’m just weird, but I assumed that was the point of the part in the article about hotel staff rehearsing lines in which they specifically them coolers and not fridges.

For collectors of DVDs, records, books, and games, I’d suggest something like Collectorz (CLZ), although it’s not free.

I think there’s like one editor for all of Lifehacker now. No way they’re actually proofing every article that gets posted. I’d assume the writers are proofing their own stuff, but that’s not super effective because you tend to read what you meant rather than what’s on the page, especially if proofing immediately…

You correctly stated that 365's Basic plan is the same price as Google’s lowest tier, but with 67% more storage, then noted that it costs double to get access to Microsoft’s desktop Office apps. From this, you concluded that it’s a more expensive option.

Good job, ya done gone and kilt it.

Guys, please don’t buy someone a wallet unless you know for a fact they need a wallet, and know exactly what kind they want. A wallet is a very personal and singular item, and if someone has a wallet they’re happy and comfortable with, they don’t want to to receive a different one as a gift, potential with some…

Okay hold on, let’s back up a sec. Tony Soprano was a bad guy, but he wasn’t the story’s antagonist. He, like Walter White, was an anti-hero. The Sopranos cast him as the protagonist of its story, while acknowledging that he was more bad than good. Still, it invited the audience to sympathize with him anyway, to see…

I haven’t mentioned this to anyone yet because I assume no one will believe me...

Nah, you’re overthinking it. I’m just saying if demand for A to B drives a given price, then any flight path A to B t0 C should carry a price floor of the A to B price plus the B to C price. It doesn’t matter if A to B costs $250 and uses an average of $10 of fuel per seat based on average sell saturation, or if it…
