Exactly. This is just cheap clickbait so everyone can feel good about themselves about how they also disagree with WBC. They're assholes, we all know that.

Or stay at a Motel that provides you with a microwave. Or recognize that if you're away from home, you're going to have to change your routine somewhat. Or just go to an Extended Stay place that has a kitchenette.

At gun shows, online sales, and private sales. (See the failed Manchin-Toomey bill that would have required background checks in these instances)

Okay, but background checks are, in fact, gun control (and are thus anathema to the NRA et al). Nobody said that we should just ban guns outright. Melanie said that the biggest issue was "our lack of gun control" - the fact that you can legally buy a gun without submitting to a background check seems to fall under

Yay gun rights! Because background checks are where freedom dies.

Weight is obviously best, but absent that, isn't the first thing everyone gets taught in cooking (baking, at least) is not to even try measuring dry goods in a liquid measuring cup?

FYI, when people say "liberals don't have a sense of humor" they're using people like you as evidence.

Cold-brew coffee is going to be different from both of those methods - the fact that it's never heated up means that the acids don't really bloom as they do with drip or pressure methods. The result is a much sweeter and nuttier tasting coffee. There's not really going to be a frame of reference if you've only had

Actually, this is a case where a vote is supposed to indicate what the Lifehacker readership thinks is the best option. If you want a review with actual testing, that's certainly out there.

Or, really, why can't we have an ad blocker that whitelists all websites by default and requires you to blacklist sites with offensive or jarring ads? If you don't want to look at ads, that's between you and your ethics, but I'd rather deal with advertisements by default on sites that I support and just turn them off

But is it really "your" data if you review something? Not to split hairs, but we're not talking about some outside agent +1ing/liking/reviewing a company or product on your behalf and then putting it on the web. If you review a product on G+ (etc), I don't really think you get to cry foul when they appropriate that

If you're willing to +1 Depends Adult Diapers, then presumably it's not that embarrassing to you.

Huh? The LACK end table is $8. So unless a few hooks and 4 very short legs are $70, I'm not sure where that figure is coming from. But I don't think that project would realistically set you back more than $20.

I certainly don't begrudge anyone their hobbies, and I like a good cup of espresso myself. But, honestly, in a typical American workplace, if you have too exotic of a (personal) setup just to drink coffee in the office, people are going to think of you as a dick. "Coffee snob" is emphatically not a compliment coming

I honestly don't understand the big deal. You still have fine and granular control over what's public and what's not, so even if you're of the type to post stupid shit to Facebook, you can get away with only offending people who are nominally your friends.

Yes, that is true, but the practical reality is that tipped employees who fail to earn state minimum tend to self-select out of the job or get fired (since restaurants don't like to have to make up that difference).

I don't see how I was being optimistic. If tips are done away with and minimum wage is instituted for tipped employees, servers would go from making $12-20 an hour inclusive of the $2.13, to $7.25 (state minimums apply as well, of course), unless you have faith that restaurants are going to pay more than they need to.

Generally speaking, they err on the side of the customer's benefit (i.e., the interpretation that results in the lowest total)

How many servers do you think actually make minimum wage? The vast majority of them wouldn't get out of bed for $7.25/hr. Tips represent the majority of their wage, and for the most part, they work for it.

Why don't you want to make the world a better place by listening to the highest fidelity sound possible?
