I’m going to level with you here, the gear your dad is rocking probably slays. And while space is often an issue, you’ll hear things in music with bigger speakers that disappear in smaller ones. Give his system a listen and then do rational things like sleeping in a nest of laundry instead of a bed so that you can…

I love these types of articles, because I love nerding out about turntables and audio gear in general. I think this covers a lot, but my biggest piece of advice for folks just getting into this hobby / lifestyle is to do research and buy used.
audiokarma, vinylengine and hifiengine are all incredibly useful (if I’m at…

My issues with the Crosleys are twofold. First the tone arms aren’t adjustable (for the most part), which will lead to bad sound at best and exacerbated wear or damage to your records at best.
The second is that, if you do some hunting, you can find a very viable table from the 80's for far less than a Crosley, which…

You have to let the instructor know if you have any knee or lower back problems, and they’ll typically help adjust to a more comfortable form for the deep dip swashbuckling sets.

You should probably be aware that an eye patch and parrot are not standard pilates apparel, and that the pirates cardio class is happening next door.

Mine is Raw Onion Slices: I’m fine with a few chopped raw onions, grilled or carmelized, fine. But a burger (or anything really) with a big slice of raw onion is fucking gross, and I wind up tasting that goddamned onion the rest of the day. GTFO.
Otherwise, anything I have issues with tends to be a texture issue…

I’d probably eat all those.

I’d eat that.

Having feasted on the tube meats of many American regions, I’ve come to the conclusion that pretty much anything tastes decent on a hot dog. Even things that sound way more wrong than mayo, like cream cheese.

Hearing Mean Gene talking about farts had me howling with laughter.

A trick I’ve used with pretty good success over the years is to freeze veggie scraps (onion skins, pepper ends, garlic paper, etc) and whatever carcass I can find, and take a Sunday and toss it in a pot with a few bay leaves and let it simmer till the cows come home. It’s basically free, and if you have the carcass of…

No curry? Fuck this poll.

Don’t pay the haters no mind. Git dat corn, dawg.

Considering that Trump is someone who has very obviously paid for sex (one way or another) is there any way that he actually signs this?

Comments like this make me wish there was a gawker news network, in which some of the highly qualified commenters can be on screen / radio to explain some of these things. Thank you for this breakdown.

And see, even with your very well written, detailed instructions, I’m not going to do this at home. But I will forage for morels and turn them into a delicious risotto.

Love this article. I’m just over a year into owning my first home, and just dropped a few bucks on an impact driver. We were doing some work in a closet that we had removed and it was like a fucking magical world of difference. Now I find myself drawing up plans for a planting bench, a workbench, extending my raised…

Just a point, whoever takes California reaps the fact that they’re one of the biggest food production areas in the world. Most of the midwest crops are monocultures that deal mostly in feed corn and soy for export. Those areas could convert back to a system of regional horticulture, but it would be a severe culture…
