I just pledged what I could afford, too. Hopefully they'll manage to pull through before the end.

The worst part is, it hasn't achieved funding on Kickstarter yet with only 8 days to go. :(

Yeah, my mom was in high school in the mid-'60s and talked about the hassle of wearing those in gym class, especially stuff like trying to do situps and having one of the straps come loose suddenly. So glad that was over by the time I had to deal with it.

Do this. Except it's usually more expensive than canned tomato paste, so either cope with the higher cost or freeze the leftover canned paste in a little freezer bag, making sure to label/date it so you know what the hell it is.

Other suggestions for taking it further, see the croque-monsieur and related sandwiches.

Yeah, I get that. My husband grew up thinking he hated mushrooms, asparagus, a bunch of other things. Turns out his mom sucked at making them into any texture other than slimy/mushy. The difference was that he was willing to give it a little try when, in adulthood, someone else (me) cooked them for him.

Yeah, that's pretty much what that facial expression says. Ugh.

You're awesome! Thank you for taking the time to defend these great young women against these attempts to dehumanize them.

Disposable ponchos are (in my experience) super-fragile, and may not cover both you and your bag. I keep one tucked inside a ziploc (to keep it from shredding prematurely) in my backpack as an emergency backup/thing to give to some random person stuck out in the rain, but also have a super-compact hooded…

My husband has the same problem. Messed with us royally our first attempts at sex, until we checked out the wonders of the Magnum line. I think the demo is cute but needs to immediately be followed up with "if he says they don't fit right, condoms come in all different sizes and you need to find one that doesn't…

Like the others have said, it's just the kind thing to do and who knows, you may need someone to take care of you/drive you home/etc., depending on how you react to it.

The Daily Mail is "quality"? Hah!

Conviction is after a trial (or plea) and a judge pronounces the accused guilty. Even being arrested is still being accused. You may be confusing this with "suspected," which means there are one or more possible suspects but no arrest has yet been made.

Agreed, my rather large bank has a terrible restriction in that respect, and that always makes me nervous.

Joss, not Josh. (It's short for Joseph.)

In most cases, I'd agree, but this was a repost of an article by someone else, written by someone who isn't a GawkerCo editor. It looks like the editor who reposted it here basically did a cut-n-paste job for the website.

Because the original article was written on June 19th before it even happened?

I'm pretty sure that will require a huge apology.

Did you read the account of Kitty Genovese's murder at that link? Reporters made up the story about how people watched as she was raped and murdered, and that no one called. People did call. She was attacked a couple times by the same guy at different locations, some people only heard one attack, some people saw…

Hooray, there it is! :) (Now, off to explore my workplace and discover some caffeine-containing beverage...)
