It kind of seemed like Flash Gordon thought it was going to get a sequel as it closed with “THE END?”

Why can’t there be a print version of this? I don’t need a video to tell me how to make things.

It’s a nice thing, but it should be noted it’s an online university program, and the graduation rates are pretty abysmal for those programs. Hope they have good internet in Pigeon Forge!

Your story sounds like mine. After getting laid off twice in a two-year period after college (publishing!), I fell into a deep depression and totally pulled the ostrich maneuver and simply avoided my loans. I went into default, and now I’m paying back twice what I owed originally, at 7% interest. Every month I pay…

Some of these don’t seem like that great of a six-figure salary deal when you take into account the time and loan money needed to put in before you can even get in to the door. Also it should be noted that there’s age limits on air traffic controllers, so basically nobody can switch into that career.

There was just a really good article on Terracycle on Vox. I’ve been a fan of the concept for some time, and have signed up for numerous programs, yet they’re always full. Having learned how murky their disclosures are about how they actually recycle things that aren’t normally recycled, I’m rethinking the concept…

So happy to see Difficult People on this list (though what’s up with all the unnecessary slideshows?). What a hilarious show, gone too soon.

Pockets, vents and pleats are sewn shut before shipping in order for the garment to better retain its shape during shipping and while on the sales floor. It’s not a phenomenon, it’s practical. It’s called a basting stitch and it’s meant to be 100% temporary, that’s why it’s such a long, loose stitch.

I learned growing up that you age 7-10 days every night that you sleep with your makeup still on, since that’s when your skin cells turn over. How does Dolly not have the skin of an old witch? I’m jealous. I’d be a fright.

I watched this over the weekend, and it was so excellent. It was refreshing to see a documentary about women doing something without making any mention of men in the scene. It seems like lesser documentaries would frame a woman as “the female Brian Eno” or somehow otherwise try to insert a man into the conversation,…

I always groan when I get called for an HR interview first, because I know I’ll be sitting in a room answering boilerplate questions thrown at me from a person who has no clue what I do. I never send a thank-you for that.

This is my question, too: doesn’t a local pilot not come aboard to navigate the canal? It’s standard for coming into port since the routes are rather precarious, I can’t imagine it wouldn’t be the same for a canal with very little extra space.

I tried so hard with nice things, but my cat only loves wadded-up receipts and twisty ties (he doesn’t eat them, and gets a lot of exercise chasing after them).

The best diet is one you can follow for life, and can also prepare yourself. Figuring this out was a game-changer for me. Making my own meals keeps me on track, because I know exactly what’s going in my food. I allow myself two meals out per week because, well, I don’t love cooking all the time. But I’ve been the same…

No Emmet Otter’s Jugband Christmas? It’s a perfect thing: a Jim Henson project with a Paul Williams soundtrack.

There’s a very good chance people will have to wait in line for extended periods of time this year, so some elderly/sick/people with small children/people who can’t get out of work for hours at a clip/etc. will have some difficulty. Going to the grocery store isn’t really a comparable experience anymore.

Holy crap, don’t eat the candy at Fleet Farm! I speak from experience. There’s no turnover on that stuff. She’s going to take out a veneer. I’m going to laugh.

She pulled her stitches too tight, and I’m wondering if some interfacing might have helped with the puckers. There’s going to be some holes worn around those stitches, and fast. The only thing Katy can do is hang it on a wall, but why would she want to do that? That blanket looks drunk.

I’m so glad that Spencer Grammer didn’t fall victim to the Grammer family curse! I don’t think Kelsey needs any more horrifying incidents in his life.

A few weeks ago, I saw a photo of him holding a baby like it was filled with used syringes. I think he’s going for the robot vote.
