My favorite derivative of the word "dildo" for any purpose has to be the name for operating sexual instruments remotely: "teledildometry".

The “Chrisis” is finally beginning to reach the scope of the Alexocalpyse. Meanwhile, I know at least three separate Jacksons and Dakotas, each (all men), which is a crisis in of itself for slightly-less-demographically-popular names. God have mercy when we hit peak Harrison.

For everyone rooting against the Patriots, let me, as a Pats stalwart, let you feel justified: The Superbowl win has already faded from my memory and imagination, less than two months on from the win. The Patriots are a competent team and not particularly un-deserving, but we, their fans, were very much undeserving.…

I actually know three Linneas (as the given name is typically spelled, to my understanding) at my university (in the US, for context), and all of them were named after the flower, and whose immediate family is partially or totally Swedish/Swedish-American.

He ate a spoonful of his own poop every day.

I'd love to try this, it sounds great. I'm still picking up steam on the "knowing anything about what I like about beer" front, let alone the "knowing anything about general categories of beer (that I may or may not like)" one; I make up for this by following three principles:

Martin Luther: Important but also kind of a fucker, in the long run of things.

I can't say that it should be made into a full-fledged two-hour film, particularly being liable to Hollywood effects on adaptation and sci-fi adaptation, but if it were sharing an anthology series (and a lot of set/costume resources), Mack Reynold's story "Compounded Interest" would make a frigging fantastic hour of…

To my recollection, Gansett is trying to bring more of its production back to New England as it releases specialty beers like its Autocrat Milk Stout (delicious!) or its upcoming H.P. Lovecraft-inspired line of beers, the first of which will be a honey ale.

Near your old Amherst stomping grounds, UMass's otherwise-wonderful UPub recently had a brief difficulty with its multi-keg tap refrigeration unit, and had to rely on tall boys (not a bad thing!) while it only had an older, one-keg capacity refrigerator in service. Narragansetts were briefly priced on par with PBR,…

I got a 12-pack sampler of GLB beers from Cleveland area family as a Christmas gift, plus a sixer of the Christmas Ale. The sampler is (was) three bottles per variety, as follows: Edmund Fitzgerald Porter, Burning River IPA, Eliot Ness Amber Lager, and Dortmunder Gold. Delicious, all of them. In keeping with the love…

Of course we don't have the full context to know what he's leaving out, but we as readers have the context of his highly public downfall, and the context of the fact that this book is about said downfall, to know that we aren't getting everything, even though that's part of what his memoir set out to address. It's…

I've just finished reading the English translation, and it isn't like that. It's a little self-serving, yes; it's easy to see further into yourself to find something worthwhile, even (especially) when you've failed colossally, publicly, and in a manner of your own doing. Stapels's recounting, a little richly,…

This reminds me of the Rabbit TV USB dongle (now a dongle-free, web-only service competing with lots of other exclusive-lacking relay streaming sites*).

One of my favorite things to prepare w/r/t relative simplicity, longevity, flexible ingredient requirements, and lots of product for a little effort is aioli. Frigging delicious even on its own, and a viable condiment for all kinds of flavor tweaks.

I don't think so, the reservoir can be filled up and begin the process right away. It does take a while, but I think the device may heat the water as it's dispensed into the grounds holder. However it works, my family has accepted that it's not perfect, but that we can still make good brew if we learn how our…

I love how you refer to it as Tacos De (not in a patronizing way, my college town had plenty of nicknames for its steadfast student-oriented establishments). Like it's a brother organization to Opus Dei, but for tacos.

Does anyone have recommendations for earbuds that don't come with the playback control bar?

Does anyone have recommendations for earbuds that don't come with the playback control bar?

This is an article that pretty neatly lays out the stuff discussed by Musk, and gives context in a supplementary but not stifling way, so my only quibble is this:

Shh... You're jinxing the cheap coffee maker that has been brewing for my family by sheer force of miracle for the last decade.
