Sometimes you keep thinking "Man, the lunch options around work suck" and you don't consider any greater pattern. And then you read something like this and realize your life is a toilet exactly like everyone else's.

Are we sure that guy in the helmet didn't break his neck? That looked really bad.

I really think that if people said "for one month, I'm going to keep water available to me as often as possible, limit my non-water drinking to caffeine delivery substances (two-fisted with water) and alcohol (same), and drink as much water as I want whenever I get thirsty," by the end of the month they'll be drinking…

Echoing hossa458, but your claims about drinking too much are probably bull too. If you're comfortably drinking 3-4 liters, going to 5 is not going to destroy you. I'm a perfectly average-size man, and I drink 6-10 liters a day (I've also had those blood tests come out fine. The not-having-kidney-stones test was…

I got my first kidney stone when I was 17, and since then, I always have a liter bottle at my desk. I drink 5-8 of them in the course of a workday, plus another 1-3 at home before and after. It's not really very hard after years of reaching for water whenever I got thirsty. I also drink 1-3 cups of coffee in a typical…

Nostalgia was the most rewarding part of WoW for me before they started overwriting the entire game I had nostalgia for. I'm glad to hear this won't overwrite the original Outland, but if they want to make me nostalgic, how about they stop deleting everything I liked?

I thought Joe was presented as an empty suit from the first minute of the show, and the show tried to explore why he was a shell and how he felt about it. He's an obstacle for as much of the season as he's an ally. And there's no way they didn't figure out as they went along that Donna was the best, since I was saying…

I think she just thought it was time for him to face the real world again. She didn't seem happy he was spending his weekend hiding in his room. So she sent some of the world up to him.

I do not understand critics' (who I usually agree with) obsession with thinking the show is obsessed with Joe. I'd love to see a numerical comparison of the proportion of screen time, dialogue, and plot lines Joe got compared to Don Draper in the first season of Mad Men. I hated a lot about this show, but I felt like…

This is ridiculous, I'm sorry it happened to you, wow do you not get Orange Is The New Black.

Uh, nevermind?

This wasn't even a good fake trade; the Tigers are about as likely to trade for David Price as the Vatican is. They have substantially less to offer, but actually being a baseball team does draw them close to even.

I don't care if he's literally up in heaven looking down on us all, or a ghost roaming the earth for eternity; there is no fucking way Lord Byron has ever even heard of Babylon 5 or the desecration therein.

I'M SO HAPPY ABOUT MY NAME RIGHT NOW.

Jesus, I just remembered the summer game my tiny high school played against a local powerhouse team. I split the game with another goalie, and I won because, while he let in 10 goals on 18 shots, I only let in 9 on 19. Take that, Trevor.

Almost. Most saves are created by the good positioning allowed by good skating. I played goalie for a decade as a kid, so I'd have the positioning fine. But I'd stop 5-10% of the shots, max, because there's no fucking way I would be able to get to those positions fast enough. Not to mention jumping on a puck and…

I've certainly blamed high carriage fees for expensive cable before, but now that I think about it, why would cable companies charge less if carriage fees were cheaper? Pricing is always always always set to maximize profit, and lower carriage fees wouldn't change the demand-price curve.

It really doesn't take that long, half a dozen episodes at the most. This isn't something where you need to slog through 20 hours to get to the good stuff.

I don't really think Jude is being fair to Conner, who'd been a complete saint up until now. Sneaking out of the house to see him (and risking getting in trouble) WAS a real gesture to save the friendship; I'm not sure how that's less meaningful than standing up to his dad.

Looking at the street view again (https://www.google.com/maps/place/Gro…), it's pretty clear there isn't anything for sale, so I'm sorry I called it a "shop." But unless the pizza place went out of business or the Pointe After moved AGAIN, it is a store front between those two businesses. And the setting in this video…
