I’m impressed at the results of the faces, for most of what I’ve seen. Sometimes it overcompensates and I don’t know if there’s a way around that. Here are two good ones and one not so good.

My “cure” is being genetically resistant to hangovers - I’m assuming it’s genetic, that is. Basically, no matter how much I consume, what type of alcohol, how long I’ve been drinking, or whether or not I vomit from drinking (which, to be honest, hasn’t happened in so long that I can’t remember), I will not get a…

Nope - I grew up in central Jersey. I did visit Vermont briefly once in the mid-70s, though.

In the mid 70s there was a roast beef chain called Roy Rogers that was big in the northeast (the current chain is mostly related in name only) that had this awesome dessert called Apple Cheese Crisp. I’d never think to put cheddar on an apple pie or apple crisp, but I guess it’s a thing. You can find recipes for the…

Texas is a weird one. It’s still technically illegal, but mostly decriminalized if that’s your only offense.

Not a celebration, but my mom passed away at the end of March (not virus related) and we were strictly limited to 10 people total in the burial party. So it was my immediate family and the rabbi, and 6 friends of the family. No chapel service. I set up a Zoom appointment and emailed, texted, and Facebooked the link…

I’ll keep this handy just in case - I don’t have a Costco membership and I’m not in IMMEDIATE danger, but if things don’t get back to normal within a few weeks, I might have to take you up on the offer.

Can you send some TP down to your Clear Lake store at Clear Lake City Blvd & El Camino?

My local HEB in Houston has been bare in the paper aisle (TP, tissues, paper towels) for a few weeks now. The manager told me that there’s a line of people outside in the morning when they open and even with capping purchases at one or two per person, they’re sold out in 15 minutes.

Why can’t you just push the power button until your computer turns off?

Also good for helping dry out your phone after it’s been dunked. I guess it’s not such a big thing now that phones are waterproof(ish), but a couple of times I’d drop a handful of those packets in a plastic bag with a wet phone and it dried the phone out such that it worked. Better than putting it in a dusty bowl of…

This is from 538, nearly 17 years worth of Daily Double placement. Of course, it doesn’t say anything about where they might have shifted over the years.

Seriously though, I thought pilots have to perform a pre-flight check to ensure all control surfaces are working before taking off. A jammed elevator surely would have been noticed, at least I hope it would.

Via HowStuffWorks, I think the first point is the most important one.

Also a good reminder why the flight attendants tell the passengers to put their seat belts on. If you’re going fast on a runway and you’re running out of runway, the only way to stop is by going off the runway which is going to slow you down in a real hurry. If the plane stops by hitting a fence, if you’re not buckled…

You used to be able to do that “legally” on Southwest, until they changed the rules a few years ago. All you needed was someone’s unused credit (that they had for finding a cheaper fare after buying a ticket, or from a cancelled trip), which was tied to their name and confirmation code. When I was ready to book a…

Here are the features I use in my iPhone stock app:

Holy motherforking shirtballs!

High school in the early 80s.

Yep. In Texas, I’ll take home $687M when I win the $1.6B lottery, but living in NYC you’ll only take home $600M. That sucks.
