No way Lisa would even thing about considering caring about racism.

I can’t speak for Mississippi, but there are several accents/dialects in the Southern US that are similar to some English/Irish/Scottish accents, especially along the coast from Virginia to Georgia. I’ve mostly trained my accent away, but I still have hints of an Outer Banks accent.

Forget Ohio six months ago, it happened in North Carolina more than 10 years ago: http://www.nbcnews.com/id/11660817/ns/us_news-crime_and_courts/t/driver-charged-after-suv-plows-through-crowd/

Didn’t you hear? Fanny packs are cool again! Forever 21 sells them, and Kendall Jenner wears them.

Bonus, my feet don’t always reach the floor, so the weight of my legs pulls at my hips. Or if my feet do reach the floor, the front of the seat hits the back of my legs below my knees, so I have to slide forward in the seat to make my legs bend/fit.

More - it aired in 2008, but was filmed in 2005.

Airlines have to report involuntary denied boarding cases to the FAA. They don’t have to report voluntary denied boarding. The reporting is significant enough that airlines would rather give $$ to avoid it. I’ve definitely received more than twice the value of a ticket in compensation for volunteering to take the next…

There is a standard process followed by most (all?) airlines, including United. United failed to follow that process in Dr. Dao’s case. Generally speaking, the process is:

Oh good. One more visual distraction for drivers who are already confused/overwhelmed. I expect we will see an increase in rear end collisions and car vs. pedestrian incidents as drivers spend more time looking at the street view images instead of the view through their windshield.

Someone has been ghosting writing the bulk of his tweets for at least the past month. Most tweets are mostly coherent, and the incoherence ones often seem planned.

I like my sandwiches simple - 2-3 ingredients max, but everything needs to be the best available. So many people/restaurants use excess condiments to make up for shitty ingredients. If they stuff in the bread is good and the fillings are good, you don’t need half a jar of mayo. My current favorite sandwich is the…

Same here. It was perfect weather for binge watching TV, and it felt effortless to watch the whole season in one sitting.

On my last trip to NYC - My mom (65 y/o at the time) and I boarded the subway, followed by a woman who appear to have cerebral palsy or some other musculoskeletal disorder. She used crutches and clearly didn’t have great balance. My mom sat down in the last open seat before seeing the woman on crutches. The train…

Bags fees are not enough to offset the cost/damage of a mid-flight fire caused by lithium ion batteries in the cargo hold.

Currently, yes, that is the standard for contract of carriage. They can do that in part because passengers have the option to carry valuable electronics in the cabin. If passengers can’t carry their valuables in the cabin, airlines will be under an enormous amount of pressure to protect electronics from theft and…

Airlines are going to fight it - they don’t want hundreds of lithium ion batteries in their cargo holds, nor do they want the liability of valuable electronics in checked bags.

Give it 10 years. We are rapidly approaching automated RFID-based payment. Once that happens, RFID home inventories won’t be too far behind.

eShakti was a game changer for me - None of their standard sizes would fit me without alterations, so I pay the extra $9 per item to get everything custom made. I add cap sleeves to every sleeveless dress, high scoop neckline for anything that would show too much cleavage for work, and knee length hemlines for…

Minimize contact with food waters unless it’s a matter of life or death. At best, the water is full of raw sewage. It also probably has gasoline and other contaminants in it. Depending on the region, possibly also snakes or other dangerous wildlife.

My gray hairs first appear when I was 18, and they never really bothered me. I started dying my hair at age 32 because it was suddenly dull and mousey. I now get a demi-permanent glaze every 8 weeks. My salon only charges $10 for the color when it’s an add-on to a hair cut appointment. It’s great - it looks like the…
