As a wallflower, I used smoke breaks with people at events as a way to break the ice with people I might not normally get to meet. (I don't normally smoke cigarettes, other than with my daily coffee.)

WELP, I was going to return a bunch of PBR tallboys and buy boxes of off-brand mac & cheese with the deposit money, but now it looks like I'll be setting up my own DIY standing desk with them instead.

It tasted like liquid hamburger.

I recently spread solidified bacon fat on toast — and I regret nothing!

Hey Moon, sorry about the phase lag in sharing my recipe. It's not terribly empirical/scientific as I tend to fly by the seat of my pants in the kitchen. Here it is:

Pssst—the Sony A99 is not a professional camera; nor is it a DSLR.

There's no shame in filing for a BK to make a clean break when you're dug in that deep.

There's a time and place for hating Doug's writing, but this post was pretty snappy.

Any explanation as to why baking powder/soda would "go bad?" Is it because they draw moisture from the air, or some other mechanism? I have a package of each from who knows when yet they still make for fluffy pancakes.

I will write up this exact thing as a "hack"—this I promise you!

The DIY light source discussed in this post here is a continuous one; a speedlight is more, umm, "discrete."

I'm sick and tired of hearing birthday-having Millennials younger than myself complaining how "I'm so old now" as they reach the ripe age of 2X, where X ∈ {0,9}. They need to be shown this post. Because when your backpack looks like this—then you're officially an Old.

You need to treat your video calling area as you would a TV set, so lighting is paramount. The main light should be a diffused lamp from one side, placed behind and slightly above the laptop. Shine a second spotlight-type source from the opposite side of your main – and from slightly behind you – to accentuate your…

Second-last graf — needs "dearth" not "death."

Their only downside is they tend to turn bitter more quickly, so covering/refrigerating them is vital. Also I don't know where else to get them besides Costco.

If you're gonna pack a lemon, at least make it a Meyer lemon!

I happen to like the "pop" feedback when I'm using the Mac remote to control the volume. When I want to change the volume discreetly, I prefer Shift + Up/Down Vol. instead.

I've also used the following, depending on how broke I am at that particular moment: dark beer; PBR; water with a quarter of a stock cube crumbled & dissolved in it.

Antenna placement = "your location, the location of the local TV transmitters, your antenna of choice and your TV (the TV itself and its location in the house)", no?

That's because you've already that line, in a comments section, somewhere, here on Gawker Media.
