Experience has taught me the wisdom of leaving myself notes in the bathroom saying "YOU'RE NOT DYING YOU HAD BEETS".

I desperately hated the few occasions where kids would take turns reading for the rest of the class. I would read ahead and finish the text multiple times and get frustrated listening to other kids monotonously slobbering over monosyllabes and then I'd get in trouble for fidgeting. I was told I could read other…

My life goal is to make enough money to retire and start a senior dogs' sanctuary. Don't need kids, don't need a spouse (well, maybe someone to look after the place for a week or so each year while I go somewhere on vacation), I just want to give senior dogs a place like that.

I figured it was more a smallish-town pre-internet kids thing, rather than a girl/boy thing. Heck, we would focus sunlight on ants with magnifying glasses. The challenge was keeping the light beam on them while they freaked out because we were burning them alive…

“I feel that way no matter who is president,” the billionaire Berkshire Hathaway Inc. chairman and chief executive officer said Thursday in New York at the premiere of a documentary about his life…
“If they fail, then it’s your fault and you got to get somebody new,” Buffett said. “Maybe you change cabinet members or…

Spoiler below from elsewhere on the interwebs. This sounds completely batcrap insane, but the fact that the twist is so hard to find speaks, I think, to the fact that reviewers enjoyed it enough not to share it.

In my last job we had a number of East Indian DBAs and whenever we had a pot luck, it was knee-deep in samosa goodness. Like, small coolers full of them.

The only thing about cooking Indian at home is that I live in a one-bedroom apartment and EVERYTHING smells like whatever I cooked for a good couple of days afterwards if I can't open all the windows and get some fans going (ie, in the winter).

This is kind of soothing - at least the short run of videos I saw was. Mostly families and animals. I feel like I was missing out on the good stuff, though, based on some other comments here…

Did you have the pear dream?

What are you using mild-abrasive-wise? I've had good results with baking soda (dampened with water) on nonstick pans that I've subjected to various horrors.

"Tampopo" might better resonate with some familiarity with Japanese food culture. Personally, I love it.

Up until this month, this was my strategy, but the CDMA network in my area is being shut down as of Jan 31 so I'm stuck getting one of them newfangled fancy-schmancy intelliphones. While I definitely got more battery life and a sense of smug satisfaction from not being "one of the herd", I'm sure my friends will…

Now we need to see Simone Giertz's robots vs Hebocon champion.

See, right there, that should disqualify him. Unless Bannon's the new White House lapdog.

My brother and I both beat it on the NES. I think we may have skipped some university classes to do it, but by gum, we exploited every glitch we could find and did it.

Don't forget the well-timed encouraging "hnnnnn".

AND A BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER

So desu neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
