Just so we’re clear, the air conditioner doesn’t make you sick ... the filthy crap that people let grow inside of them does.

We’ve had a Winix air filtration system for years and it’s one of the best investments ever made. It really does make a huge difference with the air quality in our apartment. It’s set to automatic, but now I can’t even get away with a silent fart while under the blankets in the middle of the night without that thing…

Can confirm. I also grew up in the same region and now live near the Great Lakes. When I tell people about growing in Mississippi, I always describe the heat as a “blanket”. My father would eschew air conditioners for enormous attic vents during the summer, because of some fond childhood memory spending summers at his…

Wasn’t uncommon for soldiers during morning PT to be in the worst place possible when the fiercest of urges relentlessly comes knocking.

They could be easily identified by the tell-tale sign, one of their socks would be missing.

Could have been Joanna’s obit in Kramer vs. Kramer.

Somehow face ID works when I wear sunglasses, but good luck trying to unlock the phone after just waking up in the morning.

To add to the rage, during the times I actually do need to screenshot and then annotate it, it’s kind of a PITA to then go into the photo library to send it anywhere... whereas if you don’t do any annotation then you can send it right away.

Just wait and see... this thing will start landing in local police departments because of a federal grant. Wonder who would authorize that kind of grant?

The idea that a liberal candidate should be extended moral license because they are the only stewards of the environment is a joke within a joke.

Whoa, whoa, whoa ... this is far too many words for our “Dear Leader”.

... fossil fuel lobbies.

On first pass, I thought you were referring to the vertical designs, which I haven’t known to be inefficient... though if looking at roof top turbines, my understanding is that they don’t work very well.

Wind turbines are highly dependent on sustained wind to be worthwhile, and wind patterns are greatly affected by…

In Chicago, I spend $4.50 roundtrip to work each day for bus fare. With about 21 work days per month, that’s roughly $95. Prices for groceries are considerably marked up for our neighborhood, so it’s cheaper to have them delivered by Amazon Fresh. For everything else, we use CTA/Lyft.

My wife needs to drive for work,…

Chicago is awesome. We’ve got a paid-off base model Hyundai and a rental spot behind our Lincoln Park apartment in Chicago. Most of our mileage is from long drives out west to go camping or visiting family. My wife needs it for seeing clients at their homes, but otherwise we rarely ever drive and the bus commute to my…

To be clear, the block is self-imposed by the media companies, not Europe.

... and not just any hipsters, but the ones that couldn’t make it in SF ... so like, wannabe-hipsters.

Upper West Side? It’s not that they don’t have a reputation to protect: http://gothamist.com/2018/05/01/upper_west_side_diversity.php

Probably a good reason there is plenty of available housing.

My neighbors below just moved out and the landlord is turning it into an AirBNB because he can make about 30% more compared to what monthly rent in the area would fetch. For the guests, that’s still half of what the nearby hotels charge, and easily getting probably 4x or 5x the space.

I don’t fault my landlord or…
