If it’s so low stakes why have you spent months, if not years, coming back to defend your original incorrect assertion? How much time have you spent writing these responses? *Saying* I don’t care doesn’t make it so.

Nah. Just wait another four years for it to get interesting enough for you to read and comment on, I guess.

I mean, I guess it comes down to what you consider “getting owned” to be, as well as, arguably, what you consider “wrong all along” to be.

“Alternative” is a euphemism and a generic catch-all term that, in this context, might as well be interchangeable with “barely,” “quasi” and “not really.” In short, we use the term “alternative” charitably because it’s easier to spell than the sound of muffled laughter.

Congratulations. No, I don’t have links, unfortunately. When my wife had our first, she bought just about every pregnancy exercise DVD available on Amazon. I wound up digitizing them and uploading them to our personal cloud so that she could use them wherever, and I generally just load up a flash drive with them

Like most things, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. This is one of a million things that most moms-to-be aren’t warned about beforehand. Your postnatal ab status probably shouldn’t rank anywhere near “don’t drink a bottle of Cuervo during your second trimester” or “once the stick turns pink, go ahead

**SPOILERS**

I seriously considered investing in a bunch of Philips Hue bulbs, but soon realized that it was way more affordable to just buy standard dimmable LEDs and get smart dimmer switches (we bought Levitons) that didn’t require a hub and still worked with Alexa. It may not be the most affordable alternative for everyone (I

I dunno. I got the Pacific Breeze after a day of fighting with a pair of beach umbrellas, and I regret nothing. If you’re going to bring something cumbersome to the beach, there’s no reason to struggle with it once you’re there. Trying to angle umbrellas just right so that they provide a tiny, useful “zone of shade”

Now playing

Stick to the right side of the road—just outside the “door zone,” i.e. the area where you’ll get hit by a door if someone throws it open—stop when you’re supposed to stop, and avoid sidewalks.

So, it’s twice as expensive, does virtually nothing that the competition doesn’t, and is counting on Beats — notorious for shitty-sounding, overpriced, faux luxury products — to deliver superior sound to set it ahead of the pack?

“You’ll never guess what they have me wearing in this next scene. On top of the child’s size suit that I’m sporting, there’s a collar chain, a jeweled tie tack, and like four or five rings. I look like Pit Bull’s financial advisor. God, the viewers are going to be so distracted.... Anyway, what did you say they’re

Yup. If I have sex with my wife and impregnate her, I’m liable for the child care costs no matter what. If someone else impregnates my wife, even accidentally (I’ll refrain from coming up with some hypothetical scenarios), the courts would never let that third party off the hook for child support, no matter what the

This is pretty much what I came here to say. Yeah, you can argue that the couple should be able to sue for not getting the benefit of their bargain, as though this was a garden variety contract claim. Yeah, you can argue that they should be able to sue for the emotional distress and financial consequences arising from

That reminds me of how Oktoberfest, which spans two weeks, therefore includes three back-to-back weekends, and how anyone who has ever been to Munich for Oktoberfest will tell you to always avoid the mid-weekend — or “Italian Weekend” — when thousands of boorish Italian men will descend on the festival like a swarm of

Translation: “I never have lunch with a female companion who is not legally and socially bound to me because I’m so incapable of suppressing my overt misogyny that no woman can stand to be alone with me for the duration of a full meal. I’ve chosen to proclaim that my lack of platonic female friends is somehow a

Yeah, that happened to my uncle. Weirdest thing.

Yeah, I spend a fortune on Amazon anyway. The last time I went to a Coinstar machine (after amassing change for several years), I wound up with a $300+ Amazon gift card...which was spent almost immediately.

Oh, c’mon. It’s quite obvious what Rob Liefeld was trying to depict here. With his left hand, Cable is holding a gun that (a) has no grip whatsoever, (b) has a trigger so big, it requires the index finger, middle finger, and a clearly dislocated thumb, all jammed into the trigger guard, to pull it, and (c) has two
