This is a good, measured post on a widely exaggerated threat. Thank you. Most EMP claims are total bunk.

“The takeaway: Try not to be too much of a split personality.”

Boooooooo for rescheduling this to a holiday weekend! Boooooooo I say!

There are a few other 2% cards out there that I don’t think are the one you’re talking about (Fidelity’s affiliate card has 2% cash back deposited straight to your Fido account, and the Citi Double Cash card gives you 1% on purchases and 1% on your bill payments, so 2% assuming you don’t carry a balance).

And after you forget pumpkin in favor of sweet potato, forget sweet potato in favor of squash. As you said, pumpkin is just an inferior squash, so why not just use the superior one?

I love this advice.

I’m looking forward to participating in the one car show at which anyone will ever think my car is cool enough to comment on. :)

You’re reading too much into that one word. If I restate it as “young person would be better off starting out in...” the point remains: that is only true if you think young people ought to value the things that make SLC > NYC. I don’t accept that they should. Heck, at 40+ I don’t necessarily think I should...

I’m sorry, but any list that concludes a young person would rather start out in Salt Lake City than New York City is definitely failing to grasp the lifestyle preferences of most young adults, not to mention the likely tradeoff between future career prospects and near-term comfort.

I am SO IN. This is a great idea.

I’ll say it: that book was a worse pile of shit than Gladwell’s usual piles of shit, which are pretty shitty in their own right.

I’ll do you one better, and reduce this to two signs you can use to evaluate if you’re in a good cocktail bar:

Nice article, by there’s one very important question left unanswered:

I had a ‘98 Prelude. I traded it in when I bought a pre-owned ‘04 S4 wagon. I still have the S4. I love the S4. The S4 wagon is a Jalopnik classic, and why shouldn’t it be? It goes like stink, makes intoxicating music at 3000+ RPM, gets me up hills in the winter and has room in the back for a truckload of crap. It’s…

I’d add one more thing: if your dog has serious issues and the first trainer doesn’t help you enough, try finding one with experience with extremely difficult behavioral problems before you re-home.

There’s nothing more expensive than a cheap Ferrari.

I thought this was going to be an app that just displays the word “NO”.

I saw “Meditation” and was instantly intrigued by the insanity I was about to experience behind the click.... Alas.

Your average New Yorker would walk right past 10 screaming lunatics jack-hammering in front of 20 honking firetrucks running full sirens to get to a raging fire 50 feet away, and not even glance up from their cellphone screens. Fuck this woman.

My car is grey, and it is awesome, thank you very much.
