There are many different ways to choose a beer with the next morning in mind.

There's weak but pleasing beer, which you may consume at varying but equally comfortable paces, even though you wish you had better beer.

I love this article, but as someone who also enjoyed Recess, I have to note this: Spinelli was always identified on the show as just "Spinelli". That was what the character preferred, and there was that whole episode explaining why, where the playground clique of The Ashleys discovered her first name and tried to…

A John Oliver show — maybe TDS, maybe not — would be swell. I actually found his hosting funnier than Stewart's as of late; that might be because Stewart's infamous animosity towards his writing staff leads him to do a lot of ribbing on the show's topics that boils down to "Isn't this ridiculous, you guys?", with…

The sealsplosion might balance itself out over time, as some others are observing; one of the first things I learned in environmental science was how wildlife populations can go through cycles where one population's growth outpaces its predators and its resources, until they come crashing down to earth when the…

I have a pair of Sonys almost as old as I am and they still work great, but if this ever happens to me I'll definitely revisit this article as an option.

I like this, actually, but I liked it just a little bit more when I thought the title was the slightly more abstract "Applesause".

Keeping in mind that this study was conducted in Sweden, this could pose a significant problem for the US, where having to acknowledge your childrens' increasing maturity & consequent need for support as they enter the adult world and discussing things like responsible drinking with them is the grown-up version of…

I think at this point Billy Corgan has some kind of quasi-fetish for his weird, vague concept of China/Asia/"The Orient" that is less related to any genuine, non-objectifying interest than it is to some subconscious belief that scraping the bottom of this particular barrel will make him seem interesting and relevant…

Stop & Shop (Mainly New England supermarket chain owned by the same company as Giant, has stores in NJ and downstate NY) will do this for a lot of sale items, and it's handy when you're trying to keep your shopping as competitive as possible (I make the trip to Stop & Shop largely out of convenience, because there are…

It bugs me something terrible to see comments on DIY projects, neat tricks, and assorted "useful things to know and know how to do" that basically sum up to complaining that this article isn't relevant to them. Which, on its face, isn't a bad complaint — where would a website be if its articles were irrelevant to its…

If people are cutting back, either it's because they don't know about the delicious cane sugar soda pictured in the header photo, or they do, and they're quitting for their own good.

Latepost, but I just kind of figured a lot of conservative/GOP/"waffling centrist whose favored political platforms are still toxic and based on really fucked up concepts of who 'deserves' what and on what basis and who gets angry when you bring it up" voters were simply coalescing around internet-based media or…

"No; the data they reference shows that the majority of people self-reporting symptoms of mental illness are female."
Yes! And in men, instability or illness is often glorified — see the uncomfortable, upside-down-world praise that business profiles are prone to lavishing on CEOs with notoriously scary, hair-trigger…

I recall an Onion news brief from 2008 about McCain describing Palin and it went along those lines (it used phrases like "gams up to here", and while it was entirely facetious, of course, I can grasp why I can't find it anywhere on the site now).

With regards to CNN: Now, I understand that memories are not impermeable to our own biases and the process of time itself, especially since I'd like to think I've learned a fair amount in the last decade, and even meaningfully processed some of it. But, now, I've been watching CNN with some kind of frequency or…

A child has no place in something so hateful, and neither does a dog. They have something in common though: Meanness is something they have to learn.

Bingo! Very rude. (Though, the same sort of person who would call a donor to a gay family a father would probably pry leeringly into a straight family's history, not to mention being the sort of person to treat sex and sexuality as inherently lurid to begin with)

I was actually thinking, "a 7-in Windows 8 tablet might actually be pretty good". I've seen and used the Surface and Samsung's ATIV tablet, and the Surface is okay compared to Windows 8 laptops (going by my own experience, plus reviews and comments by friends with more experience), but a seven inch tablet, if built…

Well, his demeanor helps. It's a blend of matter-of-factness and peaceable understanding, rather than a more jaded instinct to try and make himself look like he's got the most guile in the room. Some people do that to advertise the idea that they know how people hurt other people, so you'd better not even bother…

I knew about that. The thing is, as much as I don't want to undergo what he did, I admire the resilience with which he faced and overcame it, and I think his consistently forthright attitude about those problems has been incredibly brave, especially when he's under the pressure of a new release and a return to touring.
