We already reached peak smart appliance:

I used to want a smart thermostat so I could set my thermostat to 85° when we leave for vacation in the summer, then the night before I come home, I can set it back to 75° so we walk into a nice, cool house after our road trip.

I’m a computer professional and I won’t allow these “smart” devices into my home, especially things like Alexa. Most appliances will last much longer than the support for their smart features will, leaving owners with a device that might very well become useless, or at least a possible security risk inside of your…

Is this the first shot at an all-pumpkin spice Thanksgiving meal? PS stuffing, PS sweet potatoes, PS creamed onions, PS gravy, PS apple pie.

You’re welcome.

When Dr. Oz won’t sign on, you know it’s a shitty con job.

“What do you mean he’s the best boy? I’M THE BEST BOY! This is my party! This cake is pathetic! I have the best cakes!”

The Guardian points out that Subway bread not only exceeds the amount of permissible sugar in staple foods, but contains five times as much sugar as Ireland’s Value-Added Tax Act of 1972.

Atwood didn’t own Harry Potter which was a major hit among teens when it came out and before any movie license was discussed. Lucas earned billions through keeping the toy rights when the series itself was pre-super mega hit and people questioned whether SW could be a hit. He took a risk and made bank. JK had no risk…

Trump’s bucket would look like weak ass Tang 12 seconds into Biden’s response.

Id like to see the candidates put on chairs above big vats of ice water. If they break the rules, they get a warning, two times and they get dunked. (It would be nice if, say, ten lies triggered the same, but I’m willing to be reasonable.)

Sounds like someone’s never heard of the miracle cure: laudanum.

That’s a start, but he’s done so. Much. Damage.

I am officially an old person because “small bags of yogurt covered raisins in various flavors” sounds great to me. I mean, it’s not far from Raisinets, which are a perfectly cromulent halloween candy.

I’m very annoyed that people use the phrase ‘snake oil’ for a dubious or fraudulent medicine or supplement. I used snake oil on my old rusty snake and now it doesn’t squeak at all!

KFC is slow and has a high priced buy-in for their main product, making it better for families than individuals, and forcing them to diversify their menu into different realms trying to find one that will be a hit with the lunchtime customer. Chik-Fil-A meanwhile focuses exclusively on a single product that they churn…

I agree with this, but stand by my previous statement that anything that claims to cure everything under the sun without side effects is probably a placebo at best.

Maybe this is just life in the East Coast pizza bubble, but I would expect a significant portion of pizza dollars to go to independent operators rather than chains. Pizza as a foodstuff is likely more popular than this chart shows. (See also: my hips.) I suspect “Global” loses some to local competition too. Segments…

Yeah any decent cop could tell that this was fake, or at least have some suspicions. Why didnt they just knock on her door and ask to speak to her about it? Its not like someone with a pair of scissors is going to go on a fucking rampage or anything

So, what do you use the paper towels for that you can’t use a regular towel for... just like your husband’s hands?
