I don’t know how much of Karl Pilkington’s personality is an act, but he does seem to think outside of the box and look at things from an angle that most people never see, and that’s what’s so funny about him. Like when he said that rising sea levels have nothing to do with global warming, it’s just that we’re not…

Ah right, and when I made the point that Apple deliberately throttles performance in older iPhones in their new OS’s, I was flamed relentlessly on here by people “in the know” who had sworn that benchmarks “proved otherwise” and that it was all a big myth. LOL.

This will be useful for when my brother goes on one of his selfie binges.
However, the option isn’t there for me. Perhaps they’re staggering the rollout?

The library cards of certain regions and cities of the US will also get you access to Lynda videos for free. For example, my NYC library card gets me in. If your library participates, there will be a designated login page specific for your library where you enter your card number and PIN. It will get you the full gold…

Yeah I’ve had that problem as well. In fact I always have. When I was a kid I used to worry that I wouldn’t last long when I started having sex. And what I found was the complete opposite - it takes me a long time to finish. Part of my problem is that I over analyze things to the point of ridiculousness, so I’d be in…

Soundcloud never moved with the times and they were punished as a result. They want you to sign up for a paid subscription so you can upload as many tracks as you like, but their streaming quality is still stuck in 2007 (i.e. low quality compression which makes high frequencies sound grainy etc). So producers who have…

These days I don’t trust any man who wears an open shirt underneath a suit jacket. He’s either an arrogant bullshitter with an hysterically inflated idea of how much he’s worth, or he’s a sexual predator with a history of abusing his power to harass women. Or both.

I’ve had stress related ED and it’s no joke. And it’s a vicious circle - once you’ve been through that experience of not being able to get it up (the girl: “don’t worry about it, happens to everyone” etc) then it’s a source of stress every time sex is initiated. You’re worried that it’s going to happen again and that…

Sunscreen is not good for the skin, especially when used on a regular basis. There are alternatives to slathering yourself with toxins every day:

Millennial yuppies who get sucked into every new fad

Nobody wants to take a chance on an airplane 30,000ft in the sky full of hundreds of people who stand no chance if there’s a fire. That’s why airlines are cautious almost to the point of insanity. I don’t blame them, really. And my initial point was not a judgment on whether or not banning this luggage was a rational…

I have a very finely tuned auditory memory (great if you’re a musician) and I do this all the time. As soon as I hear myself say it, it’s almost like I recorded it onto tape. Good technique to use if you have to, for instance, remember a license plate fast.

Yeah you can imagine one of these smart luggage manufacturers going on the Shark Tank and being turned down because of the likelihood of being banned by the airlines. I’m amazed anyone invested in this technology, but then again you know how carried away some of these tech entrepreneurs get.

Just don’t do it too often or you will end up with a stretched butt hole and you’ll be wearing a tampon in your anus to stop the fecal leakage.

I have an awful confession to make. Back in the first wave of Star Wars toys my friend was lucky enough to be given a Millennium Falcon. I seethed with envy over this, because the best I had was a TIE Fighter. So one day he suggested we put them to battle, and he chased me up a path making pew pew noises as I…

The other day I went into a friend’s apartment to walk his dog while he was away for the day, and after yelling “walkies!” a dismembered voice from the living room said something along the lines of “I don’t understand that” and I almost had a heart attack. Horrible things.

Right now my favorite veggie meat substitute is vital wheat gluten. Crazy amounts of protein (although you’d probably have to mix with another protein to get a full amino profile) and tastes incredibly full and meaty. I get these sausages from Whole Foods and I’ve been addicted to them for a couple of years.

Yes that is an essential question. If you move into an apartment with radiators that are always on, you will regret it because of the excessive dry heat. Some buildings have such old ass heating systems that they actually prohibit turning off individual radiators because it interferes with the flow of hot water…

People who keep monkeys might get the idea to feed onion to them. I’m here to tell you that it’s a bad idea.

While we’re on the subject of onions might I also take this opportunity to remind everyone that you should never feed onions to a monkey. It makes them anemic.
