All it takes is one time...

"Famous" is relative in the first place, and famous people aren't always wealthy.

In general, people are a little more serious about their food than about whatever retail crap they're buying, so I would guess that food industry workers have it a little bit harder objectively, although retail workers make up for it in volume (ex-retail here).

I don't think the name thing is a big deal unless the waiter is making a point to remember everyone's at the table (even so, I still feel this is optional).

I made that mistake once. I ripped my entire collection of CDs (around 500) circa 1999 as 192K MP3. I spent a lot of time several years later (more hard drive space, better equipment) ripping the same content to lossless FLAC, and a few extra years of wear and tear made the process even longer- using EAC's correction…

Re: burn-in. Burning in electronics is a waste of time, but burning in speakers absolutely makes a difference, because it allows the components of the drivers (the parts of the speaker that move) to stretch out. I'll just run pink noise on repeat through a new set of speakers every night for a week, it doesn't have to…

I get it, but after the third or fourth nearly identical situation, you'd figure he might get a clue. The way I see it, people float in and out of your life and sometimes back in (and out) again, you've got to just enjoy what you can while you can not sweat change.

+1 to most of the advice to the second guy re: boring sex. If you're not at a point where you can be just chilling and having a drink on the couch and talk about sex positions and kinks, you need to postpone any talk of engagement because that shit turns into resentment and bigger issues to work through later (spoken…

I group people into "acquaintances/drinking buddies" "friends" and "not friends." The women described in the first section are clearly in the first group. Note it and move on, stop taking shit so personally.

There is no faster way for me to end a blowjob-in-progress than putting anything in my ass without warning. Male G-spot, I'm repressed, blablabla - not into it; you've got to get me comfortable with the idea way beforehand.

I only have a desktop that stays on nearly all the time, but on the occasions when it reboots:

+1 - Asylum was by far the weakest, but Freak Show is really gunning for that distinction

If you're not already in it, just wait for the public's verdict at the end of the season. The other seasons were much stronger by this point so my hopes are not high. Disclaimer: favorite season - Murder House.

Not to you personally, but to all the people in general complaining about spoilers for this show: if you are actually watching and comprehending the storylines and character interactions, it is one of the most relentlessly predictable shows I have seen in a very long time.

I cannot possibly be more bored or annoyed with Dandy. He's trying way too hard to channel a more unhinged and adolescent version of Christian Bale's American Psycho and it is not working. And with Twisty's apparent demise (spoiler alert! who didn't see that one coming from two episodes away), there is not enough good…

Maybe I'm misunderstanding something, but isn't this like an airplane-based Tinder? I.e., both parties have to have signed into this app, published their info, etc.? It's not like someone on your flight can just randomly find you and your FaceBook info, unless you checked the box that says "I'd like random people on…

But only if they're both, like, hot

I don't know enough about the Salem Witch Trials to refute or support that claim, but I would note that it is absolutely possible for women to act against their own self-interest in support of the/a patriarchy - e.g. women today who support slut-shaming/victim-blaming, reductions in abortion rights and access to…

I've built websites for companies in the past that have you included such certifications and badges on their site, and they have told me that having it there matters both to them and their customers - that's as far as my interest goes. I don't think I've indicated anything here other than that these badges can be…

The point of the article is that the presence of a graphic, unverified by a third party, means nothing. If you think that the verified third party endorsement means nothing that's cool (i.e. it's paid for, anyone can get it, etc.), but plenty of people disagree with you.
