I’m all for freedom of speech, but this sort of thing ought to be illegal. How is this any different than selling patent medicine?

The Switch came out a month before my son turned 5. We’ve been having so much fun. Just last night, we were back to our favorite: playing Breath of the Wild while he holds the blue joycon and I hold the red one. It adds a whole new level of both difficulty and teamwork to have one person controlling Link’s legs and…

I really thought that “rare $10 deal” on that Roku meant that it was down to $10. I was like “WHAT?!”

I loved my Subaru Forester, drove it into the ground, and got a great trade-in value for it. Ultimately, though, they are just really lacking in comfort and features. Also, for all of their touted reliability, my Forester required nearly constant maintenance compared to either of my Honda Accords.

You’re right that it’s one-sided and biased. I totally, 100% agree with the statement and still thought as much.

My dad was a Korean War veteran and a freaking POW. Then he worked for 42 years for the same telephone company. He had what I thought was a good insurance and retirement benefits. Then he gets really sick and has to be put in a nursing home when I was just 20 years old. Here I am, a college student with literally…

Haha. Yeah, my mom was born in 1951 and my dad in 1933, so definitely grew up with that “nothing wasted” attitude.

Hah, yeah, I’m Latino but adopted by East Texas white folk. The coffee can of bacon grease was a staple of both sides of my family. My wife, who grew up very upper-middle class, was horrified when she saw me saving bacon grease in a peanut can a year or two into our marriage. She had never heard of it and found the…

I loved your story about your dad and eggs. I had the exact same experience growing up. I started cooking for the family as a biweekly chore in the 7th grade and I never even HEARD of olive oil until I was in college.

I always tip on carry-out at places that allow it. It’s only a dollar or two and I can all but guarantee that the people working there need it more than I do. Also, waitstaff typically tip-share with the kitchen staff at most places (as far as I know, anyway), so the money should in theory at least partially be going…

Yeah, I have a single smartplug. It used to be a Wemo, but Wemo had trouble dealing with my wifi network when I upgraded to 5G, so I replaced it with a TP-Link one that also has such a button. The problem is, that still necessitates you leaning down to flip a switch near the floor or behind furniture or something, so…

I have a Google Home and a GH Mini, but I’m kind of reticent to go with smartbulbs or plugs yet. They don’t allow you to use physical switches (or, well, you can, but then the smart part doesn’t work). Both my wife and my mother, who is at our house a lot, will get flustered with having to adjust lights by voice…

Not this week, but I started the Keto diet on January 4th. So far, I’ve lost just under 10 pounds, I feel good, and my bloodsugar is much more stable while I’m continuing to have to cut my insulin (I’m a Type 1 diabetic). Best lifehack I’ve made in a long time.

I thought about it last night, and I really need to do this with Reddit. I think I was on there just reading and posting on my phone for a solid 3 hours last night. Ugh.

Yeah, my wife’s uncle is a professional rock musician and a sound engineer. He’s now legally deaf.

My wife and I go to concerts pretty often and always, always wear earplugs to indoor concerts. Our friends make fun of us, but it seems like common sense to me. Now, at an outdoor concert like a music festival, we will still bring them but probably not end up wearing them unless we happen to be close to the speakers.

Any ideas for an iPhone 2, iPad 1, and an iPod Touch 1? I have all three sitting in drawers. I occasional charge the batteries and confirm that they work.

I’m glad to see that Fullmetal Alchemist is arriving. I’ve been meaning to finally go back and watch that, as it came stateside right around the time I quit watching anime. I saw the graphic and thought maybe it was leaving instead and was like “Oh, man, did I wait too long?”

They mean relative to the Android app, I think. The Android app has very limited features (such as starting in the Friends list) and what is to me its very worst sin - hitting the back button takes you all the way back to your Friends list no matter how deep you had gone into the store catalog.

I think this episode would have been a lot better if it were two separate episodes or one long one. As a single episode, it was just too much going on at once, like you said. I also got confused as to why Mac, Yoyo, and Flint were still in the Lighthouse while everyone else was on the surface. I actually watched the…
