This is a very helpful list...but it also made me sad :(

why no pictures?  I’m highly skeptical and would love to see an example...I feel like sweaters are too stretchy and porous to be used as upholstery.

I think Dark is a much better show than 1899, but it is definitely a lot more...“dark” lol. It’s definitely more of a German show, whereas 1899 is much more Americanized in terms of tastes and sensibilities.

Gawker shills for Samsung appliances HARD.  I swear, every other day they’re advertising a Samsung appliance Sale.

No 1899?

Buying another cable from Apple...which used to be included...doesn’t really seem like a solution...definitely not a “Lifehack” at the least.

Unless you have a wet/dry shop vac...then you can suck up pretty much anything.

This would actually explain why so many liquor stores in Wisconsin have no windows, haha.  At the very least, they usually have small ones up at the top of the wall.  Makes sense, also allows more shelf space to sell more booze.

Do Gawker writers have some aversion to putting pictures in their posts?  Why would I just take your word for something so starkly visual?

The x-axis is always the independent variable. Proficiency of a subject is the independent variable. 10% proficient is always 10% proficient independent of how much effort you put into getting there. Effort is the dependent variable because it may take one person 10hrs of work to become 10% proficient, but it may take…

Why do those TV prices seem too good to be true?  How do these compare to the $2-3K ones?

You’re an idiot...that’s not how that works at all. It’s Federal Student Loan Debt that is being forgiven. The Federal government can decide you just don’t owe them money any more and it’s completely wiped from your account. The debt isn’t being transferred anywhere...

When time isn’t the independent variable. If you’re graphing somethings effect over time, time would be on the X-Axis because time moves on no matter what. But in terms of graphing a steep learning curve, you’re not graphing your knowledge simply over time (because if you don’t study, you don’t gain knowledge, even…

I’m sorry...but if we’re ranking the Indy movies, Last Crusade is by far the best one, and by no means are ANY of the Indy movies Spielberg’s best.  Jaws should absolutely be number one as it’s a master class of filmmaking.

I think steep learning curve is still appropriate. Time compared to Knowledge is not the appropriate things to graph. I think the X-Axis should be Master of Subject from 0-100% and the Y-Axis should be total time, or rather effort, invested. The first 10% mastery of a subject may require much more time invested than…

It depends on what your axises are. I would think of it as X=Knowledge Of Subject and Y=Time Invested. I think Steep Learning curve is 100% accurate. Time is NOT the independent variable. Knowledge, or mastery, of a subject is.  Time isn’t the independent variable because you’re not studying something ALL THE TIME.  I’…

It isn’t fair to ask millions of Americans to pay for wars they don’t believe in. It isn’t fair that corporations and billionaires don’t pay their fair share. It isn’t fair that new sports stadiums no one asked for are subsidized with people’s taxes.

My realtor told us that most people wait to list their homes until after the Super Bowl.  Which, to your point about winter being a slow due to holidays and such, it seems The Super Bowl is the last festivity people want to hold onto their home for before moving.

Holy hell! 1,250 to 3,750 streams equals ONE album sale?!?!?!? That’s totally absurd. If that’s equivalent, that means I’d have to listen to a 10 Track album 125 to 375 times before it equalled the same amount of play as streaming. I don’t think I’ve ever listened to a single album more than 100 times...but maybe I’m…

LED christmas lights look like ass though...
