Yeah, starting on a hill just isn't that hard if you've driven stick for more than 3 days.

God I bashed my head on that thing in my Escort so many fucking times....

Came here to say this. I mean, obviously he should toss the thing, but if he's for wahtever reason insistent on keeping it, just put it in a mattress bag and no one will know his shame but him.

Hooooold on now. There's two factors in this equation, the friction (your feet not sliding along the ground) and your ability to keep your body angled backwards. It's not like tug of war is won when one team DRAGS the other across the ground. It's (typically) won when one team causes the other team to FALL forward.…

Woohoo! Go Team Lethargy.

I had to Google "putrescence" (because I'm apparently bad at recognizing root words) and I was confronted with one of my biggest pet peeves - dictionary definitions that seem to just be mocking you.

"Putrescence : n. The state of being putrescent." Fuck you, merriam-webster.

My '04 Impreza has had a "pretty substantial head gasket leak" for about 4 years and 80,000 miles (per the mechanic at Subaru). I'ts an "external" head gasket leak which basically just means some oil is leaking out, rather tahn mixing with coolant. I COULD have gotten it fixed for 1600 dollars... or I could have…

The sea was angry that day, my friends...

As a New Hampshiran, I have two thoughts :

I have at least one person in my smallish office who does this regularly. I've half-confronted him about it (in a friendly way, he's a nice guy and we get along), like "wow, you're... you're really microwaving fish eh?" His response was simply "of course, why?" I have to assume some people just don't have noses?

At least popcorn smells NICE, even if it's a little torturous for the people who also want some. Fish is like walking into someone's cube / office and just farting and leaving.

1999, I think. End of my first year of college. It was a Nokia brick. I felt like Gordon Ghecko (the high-power part, not the asshole part). CellularOne.

There's a Civic at the end of my street - probably 2000-2004 vintage - for sale for something like 3700 dollars.

That certainly makes financial sense from the perspective of the company, who almost certainly makes out on the deal. The number of employees who leave having spent their FSA money is far eclipsed, presumably, by the number of employees remaining. FSA's generally have a 1000 dollar cap, a pretty negligible amount to…

I love all the responses to this. Makes me feel better about the time I confused these terms too. :)

God, FSAs are such a scam. Why the money you don't use doesn't just get taxed and returned to you is BEYOND my comprehension (outside of the previously stated "scam" opinion).

I can't just let this one go. Just like not everyone who "believes" is a moron, not everyone who DOESN'T believe is trying to be "cool." Some of us just think rationally, and not like superstitious cavemen.

There's gotta be an easier way to get wood.

Nice psychobabble nonsense. He killed one animal (a BIRD no less). Not exactly a string of animal cruelty.

Oooo, I like the price point of this one MUCH more than the Maxpedition, thank you!
