Haha... I actually have an economics degree (in addition to my J.D.), years of real-world experience, and — oh, right — actual experience litigating the exact issue that’s the subject of this article and conversation. The reason my background and/or expertise hasn’t come up before now is that I’m not the one spouting…

When you’re at that conference, make sure you give the attendees a cocktail napkin whenever they take a canape, and don’t start serving the mini-cannolis until all of the pigs in a blanket are gone. Good luck, buddy.

Did she unceremoniously kill all the gay characters?

I was really into that show when it premiered, but it has gradually lost me, despite no observable decline in writing quality or acting talent. Its central premise, which they were still clinging to for some reason when last I watched, just suffers from some serious diminishing marginal returns...

Okay, I haven’t watched the latest episode on Hulu yet, but let me guess what the aftermath was...

Well, it’s also what happens when you’re on Season 7 of an extremely plot-driven show with a huge ensemble cast, where the seasons are comprised of 22 hour-long episodes. There’s bound to be a glut of backstory, and it’s definitely going to be daunting to try to explain anything to newcomers.

For all the earnest, reverent visual spectacle that Snyder’s trademark direction provides, David Hayter and Alex Tse’s screenplay buckles under the attempt to adapt the dense material of Moore and Gibbon’s original graphic novel into a single movie, and fails to understand the true depth of the original work.

Hey, it could be worse...

[pats Daniel Blois gently on his styrofoam helmet]

Um... Maybe something just looks off to me because of the low resolution of the video (and I’m literally colorblind to boot), but is the Falcon at the 3:56 mark in blackface?

Psylocke is always a crowd favorite (for obvious reasons)*, but just once, I’d like to see a cosplayer accessorize what’s essentially a monochrome swimsuit with a legit-looking psionic knife. If it lights up, all the better. At the end of the day, that’s what really separates a Psylocke from the million other “sexy,…

I love this. It needs to be made into a readily available series of flyers and window decals so that residents can post and/or circulate them whenever the jackass in 6B starts renting out his apartment to any random asshole with an Internet connection and a credit card.

Haha. Yeah, I thought about throwing in my two cents when I read the original post, but then I read through the comment threads. I put the odds at about 50/50 that Daniel Blois is just a generic troll or, in the alternative, some asshole kid with a dog-eared copy of Libertarianism for Dummies.

Huh. Alexander Lozano’s non-painted artwork sure is... um.. Madureira-y...

Every time some asshole wants to be a big shot and lights up a cigar, the smell radiates for MILES. I didn’t ask to smell a cigar. Did you ask to smell a cigar? Cigar bros think their cigars smell like Jesus farts. They think they’re doing you a favor by sending the stink your way.

This. I agree that the completely convoluted nature of Jackie’s story and the way it was brought to the public’s attention makes it very difficult to tell with any degree of certainty how much, if any, of it is true. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a case where the need to believe and empathize with alleged victims (and,…

However, the upcoming changes demand that drivers can’t have “any conversation related to sexual acts and sexual contact,” as well as making remarks related to “sexual conduct, gender, physical appearance, expressing a desire to see or touch another person’s body or expressing a desire to enter into any type of…

Yeah, at first blush, it does seem like kind of a silly technology-for-the-sake-of-technology feature, but one advantage is that you don’t have to lift the grill cover to look at a traditional meat thermometer and thus lose some of the heat of the grill in the process.

I actually bought the ambient thermometer for the iGrill (it only comes with the meat thermometers) specifically to use with my smoker. It’s a pretty versatile device.

Ordinarily, I’d agree, but I’d been grilling steaks for years and was never really satisfied with how they were cooked. It seemed like the one piece of meat that I could never prepare at or above restaurant quality. I received the iGrill Mini from my wife for Father’s Day last year, and what do you know, best steak…
