I eat the thing I like the most last, so the best taste is left on my tongue longest.

The odd thing is...the Cubs came first. The Bears took their name after the Cubs because when the Decatur Staleys moved to Chicago they started playing in the Cubs’ stadium and it helped implying they were bigger/meaner.

Regarding talking to your kids...I have a 4.5 year old girl. When she was young, she basically spent all of her time with me, my wife, or her grandparents. Our second child is only a few weeks old, so until she started preschool last year, she only really interacted with adults, and we all spoke normally around and to…

Then how come polls show differently? If the majority of Christians believe that, then they’re lying when asked about it. They don’t vote (or they vote as if they didn’t believe that stuff.)

If the paper roll isn’t on a dispenser, I wrap my hand three times, then pull my hand out and use the semi-folded wad to wipe. If it is on a dispenser, I pull a handful and wad it up to wipe.

Same here.

Sounds fun...but I like it better when the person can come up with whatever sentence they want. Some are raunchy, some are just complex, and some are picked purely based on the known ability (or inability) of the next person to draw something.

I’ve never heard of Telestrations, but it reminds me of a game my friend taught our gaming group. He said it was called “Eat poop you cat.” The mechanic is for everyone to take a sheet of paper, and across the top, write a sentence. It is supposed to have mostly nouns and verbs...and generally no proper nouns, but…

Re: Christmas Trees

A) There are a number of younger people for whom the prequels are the beloved Star Wars movies, and the Original Trilogy is either just a continuation, or three crappy old movies. With a series with such a large gap in the middle for new generations to grow up, there is no way to please everyone by going back to…

By the way, have you ever been on a diet where you actually measure food? I know you’re supposed to do this if you’re trying to keep your weight down, but it’s fucking unbearable. To get a measuring cup and scoop out one sad, tiny cup of cereal … I can’t. It barely covers the bottom of the bowl, man. I am not…

What you’re saying is contradictory.

At the very least, you should invest in an IRA or Roth IRA. I prefer Roths for after-tax investing, but any rollovers for 401ks and such go into a standard IRA. If you’re saving $3,000 a month, you can easily max out your input in these every year.

I was hoping someone else would point this out. I don’t have that exact model, but the long blade that you rock back and forth to make each slice across the whole pizza is clearly the best option.

Communism is a good theory that falls apart as soon as it runs into actual people. Greed and laziness are not things that can just be ignored when trying to create an economic system.

Yeah. The timing of the commercial breaks makes sense, but the length of the breaks is horrible.

I called that exact sequence out in my original post on the subject. It is incredibly annoying. And yet, it makes sense. There are a number of things that are going on between a score and a kickoff, and a kickoff and first down that the viewers don’t need to see. SO the choice comes down to more ads, or listening to…

I haven’t seen that. I’ve seen a few Senators talking about not confirming anyone nominated for the Supreme Court by Hillary Clinton. Of course, there are other Republican senators who say that they don’t intend to leave a vacancy for 4 years (or longer). And if the Democrats retake the Senate, it’s all moot anyway.

That’s pretty much my take on Libertarians. They’re either wildly naive, or evil. They talk a good game about freedom, but the type of freedom they advocate would lead to the downfall of the social order. Living in a society requires you to give up some of your freedoms because the people around you have freedoms to,…

What kind of vaping do you do? I’m not a smoker of anything, but I can clearly smell people vaping around me. Now, it’s not the standard cigarette smell, it’s usually more fruity or closer to a cigar smell, but still very noticeable.
