and high rates of injuries from the devices, in many cases due to irresponsible riders.

Chicago guy who swore off owning a bike after having a couple stolen. I’ve been riding the heavy, blue city bikes for 4 years now, but I think I’m coming around on owning a bike again. This feels like a really great balance between what I’ve grown to like about the city bikes (bent frame for easy on/off, basket up…

Wasn’t the suit debuted at a French parade showcasing war armaments? Why is this surprising that it might be used for war?

I bet the job of tour guide turns over pretty often. Can’t be safe walking through there 8 times a day.

“Mr. President, you have the right to remain silent. Like, seriously. Stop openly committing crimes and talking about them.”

I’m guessing his people told him that all calls are recorded and, like most of what his advisers tell him, he didn’t listen. 

Usually he has a response ready for each of the main things going on that he knows he’ll get questions about. He’s absolutely flailing on this and has no idea what angle to take. It’s fascinating actually. 

I got these the last time they ran this deal. They’re perfect for an extra set of headphones i leave at the office.

Does anybody with the Amex Plat actually get anything from Uber VIP? I live in Chicago and in the 2 years with the card, I’ve had maybe 2 or 3 rides “upgraded” and it’s super exciting and fun when it happens, but as a frequent uber-er, it almost never happens. Do other people get this perk or are there just not many…

The cash in hand also signals this is going to be a cash transaction which is faster than swiping a card.

Top sheet, thin quiltlet, then duvet+cover — the perfect amount of weighty embrace, plus you can remove the duvet if it’s hot and you still have the quiltlet. This is the recipe used by most hotels and it’s awesome!

Also, way too many pillows!

I watched the first season and really enjoyed it. I’ll watch this and likely enjoy it as well.

I watched the first 2 episodes and was only mildly interested and gave up. Is it worth it? 

Slightly related and I think most people don’t think about — you can also call your credit card (or some let you click a button in your account) to request a higher limit. I used to do this once a year. This can help your credit score along the “credit used / credit available” part of the equation Lisa pointed out.

No, it comes with its own mount included in the box. The tv can sit 100% flush to the wall because that mount fits up into a recess in the back of the tv. There are probably some good pics of it online. It’s pretty slick and what really makes it not look like a tv.

Ah, no lag there! I thought you referring to online gaming, of which I know little.

I was talking with my friend who worked in the Obama white house for 8 years about this. I said I like her, but I don’t think she can get elected. I can’t imagine my mom or dad voting for her (working class Missouri suburbanites). I think it’s the “would I want to get a beer with this person” effect — and that answer…

I doubt it would do it as well (assuming you’re referring to the “screensaver” art). The tv is off and in an ultra low power mode when the art is displayed. The tv senses how bright the room is and changes the amount of backlight to compensate. If the room is really dark, it turns off altogether. The matting around…

Yeah, i was just thinking yesterday how i flip past the Amazon Prime app anytime I’m looking to watch something. I’ve liked a few things on there, but it’s basically just weird crap. 

I did play Red Dead Redemption on PS4 on it for a couple weeks and it looked fantastic, but I wasn’t playing online so I can’t really speak to the lag. I would imagine I have the 2018 version.
