Wait??? Valkyrie is Tomboyish? Am I the only person who thought she just oozed (admittedly universal) sex appeal? Since when is confident and badass “tomboyish”?

IMHO, being “worthy” of Thor/Mjolnir requires a need to be Thor / weld Mjolnir. Well - Thor is Thor therefore he gets carte blanche barring major character lessons. Cap only gets it when the self-less need is great enough. 

Brah! The beautiful thing about modern America is that we accept (and cherish) all cultures and cuisines. I’ve had better German food in Norfolk, VA than Kaiserslautern or Berlin. You can (strangely) find legit pozole in Honolulu and make-you-cry Greek in Tarpon Spring, Florida.
We aren’t just hamburgers and fast…

Yes. I’ve been thinking of renting out my condo to support a change of location. In my city, the average property manager charges 10% of what you collect (including any taxes you collect like 4.5% General Excise Tax). It’s a *&$%^$ racket, just like being a realtor - but it is also legally mandated if you aren’t…

Tell that to Gaiman.  :-D

My Dad bought a new 98 5.2 Crewcab 4x4 (auto). It was sweet until that auto started being a giant pain. I seem to remember a myriad of accessory problems around 2005-2006 when he ditched it. Lasted through some harsh New England winters though.

I didn’t know I knew a Jonas song until someone told me it was a Jonas song (In fairness, I knew it from the Postmodern Jukebox cover). 

That always baffled me. “I’m afraid of looking old, so I’m going to choose to look weird instead.” Fillers never seem to work as advertised. Even when they look ok, like Matt LeBlanc, it still doesn’t look “ok”.

Yeah. I’m definitely over-extended because I have more  fixed expenses on top of that listed. My wife has different priorities. Best of luck.

I guess it depends if it is net or gross.... I’ve found that 1/3 of gross is achievable. 1/3 of net is not.
But I definitely purchased a reasonably nice, not too old condo in a High COLA city in 2013. It took 40.6% of my gross income. 5 years later, I’ve had two promotions for a 21% increase in income but my HOA fees…

Easy recommendation to make. Hard to follow. 

This is one of the few reasons I enjoy working for the government. When I was a contractor, I was given >4 months notice when a contract would not be renewed. Later, as a government employee - they have so many hoops to jump through to lay you off that you’re given as much time as you need to transition. 

Aa s a government employee, I can tell you that we’re encouraged to give 30-to-60 days, partially because the hiring process is so long. When you give only two weeks, that’s barely enough time to update you position description, close out your performance evaluation, and complete all the mandated various steps without…

As a resident of Hawai’i, let me tell you - there’s more shops with the word “Aloha” or “Poké” (fuckers couldn’t even spell it right) than you can shake a shaka at. “Nobody else uses” HA!

ok.. now I’m curious. What job involves sprints?

Solid advice. I don’t really care about hot dogs, but when I go to any “better” burger place, this is how I always get my burgers. I don’t care for gussied-up condiments and combinations. I will gladly wax poetic about the delicious purity of meat, cheese, tomato, lettuce, ketchup, mustard, mayo, and bun - but I need…

As the grandson of a (former) Cabot, VT dairy farmer, thank you for the plug.

Agreed. Isn’t that why journos like Brendan Hesse and Lifehacker should do a better job reporting?
Remember when journalists at least felt like they had a responsibility to the good of the public?

He is just so god-damned talented.

This is Trump picking up the lines of his conspiracy-theorist constituents. My MAGA-wearing-parents lived in Vermont until a few years back when wind farms were erected at the far edge of their multi-acre property. In 2012, my mother started talking about how low-frequency infra-sound was hazardous to human life…
