I thought that’s what the primary use of packing tape was.

Really smart, well written article. What I liked best were the (mostly) intelligent, thoughtful responses in the comments. This is so very different from what one would expect following such a potentially explosive subject.

You could probably combine North & South Dakota into one state now - only upsetting the 600 or so people who will live in the combined state of Dakota. I think the only reason there are two is because they can have 4 wacko senators

Blame Kinja

Dad did divorces for a few years when I was little. I remember the phone calls in the middle of the night from his clients and my mom putting me back to bed. He told me years later how the calls always went:

Unless you are looking for design work, you might consider a font that has serifs. Most people who receive resumes are scanning, not reading them. I am told that Serifed fonts are much easier to read, because they guide your eye along the line. Helvetica might be mighty pretty, but it is sans serif.

I dress up compared to the people who work in the office. At least I shower and put on clean clothes that include long pants and shirts with sleeves (tech firm).

I bought one of these because the clip may be placed on either side or either direction. As a leftie, this is a must.

I’m not sure there is a big difference between airlines in this regard. Baggage handling, ticketing, ground services, etc., are typically all outsourced. The would-be thief might have been an employee of the airport, a contractor for a third party, or something else with hardly any association with your airline.

I thought the purpose of having a deals site is to report deals. That is what was done. If you have an ethical problem with shopping at Sam’s club, don’t. You are not being forced to buy this, nor are you required to read articles in blogs.

Rent, and you have to deal with a shitty landlord. Buy, and you are your own (shitty) landlord

Buy the Thermopop for around $25. Still not cheap, but made by the same company and also an exceptional device. Takes about 2 secs to read vs. instant, but knowing you’re saving $55 makes it well worth it.

My birthday as well. We also share with Leonardo Da Vinci, Seth Rogen, and Uncle Sam.

You may have heard this, but a bit of baking soda in the boil makes the shells more brittle. I also boil some extra eggs knowing a few will not come out right.

We should have like a Loudoun meetup one day at the Shoes in Leesburg

I've been enjoying everyone's "best guac" recipes, so I'll share a trick I learned that was a major time saver: I make pico de gallo with tomato, onion, jalapeno & lime juice, then refrigerate for a few hours. Delicious by itself, but to make even a small batch of guacamole, just add the appropriate amount to mashed…

I made a hotlink, but here's their site: http://www.skratchlabs.com/

Many elite cyclists use a product called Skratch. It used to be called SDM (secret drink mix) and it was well known that athletes sponsored by "other companies" would dump it out and use this stuff instead. It isn't cheap, but it's all natural and it WORKS! They make products for everyday hydration when not at the…

This is so useful and timely. I was looking to replace my 2004 CLK and was hoping for another Mercedes.

Here's a thought: When asshole was cleaning his car with the squeegee, that's when you approach. "Hi, you look familiar. Oh I know, I served you dinner tonight. What's going on?" you ask innocently. AH tells you sad story. "Why not use the car wash? you ask. AH comes up with excuse. You offer to pay for the car…
