Just got through our wedding, and instead of registering for any China, we splurged on nice everyday flatware and table settings. Rose Gold flatware (my wife’s favorite) for 16, and service for 12 from West Elm with all the plates and bowls.

Put on headphones, put a note on your office door, tell your admin to not let people into your office, lock yourself in a quiet conference room, whatever. It’s not hard to get privacy, even in an open office. 

What’s the most expensive piece of equipment in your kitchen? Has it made your life better? I have a full set of All-Clad pots and pans, and yes, it does make your life better. It heats better and more evenly, and is more resilient than any other 2-ply or 3-ply, normal stainless, or anything else. Clean it with soap…

I have owned a king bed since I got my first college apartment, and you will pry it from my dead body. I will buy three burial plots so I can have a king coffin.

The root’s description of jezebel’s beckys(ies?)/rebeccas will forever be one of the most accurate things on kinja

Skyline is good, goetta is kind of weird for a while, larosas is by far the best shitty pizza chain

I will eat 3-4 Sausage McGriddles, a large coffee, and a large ice water to get rid of a hangover. In college, I didn’t eat because I was nauseous, and it prolonged my hangovers. Today, it’s all about getting food in me ASAP and keeping it down.

I’ll take an ungreying, if possible. While my reasoned takes are best suited for a HamNo post on Splinter, I have strong emotions about foods, and am likely to post while hungry at my desk.

My office has a sludge machine. There are these....bags of extremely concentrated coffee sludge, and you press a button and either get coffee or espresso, I guess?

Move to Florida! The closer you get to the equator, the closer your days are to a 12/12 split of daytime and nighttime.

You could do something about it. You could vote for people of color in political office, you could donate money to organizations that support racial issues, you could hire and promote POCs in your company, you could even educate yourself.

It’s probably money laundering. The best part? Their “products” are meant for asset management in adverse environments, primarily with military applications.

No, they are alive and well. In my business, I sell to startups and mid-size tech companies. There’s a lot of wild stuff that happens in the industry, and I’ve read through most of it going through SEC filings and the like.

I keep my passwords written down in a locked drawer in my desk. I’m not worried about physical access to my office, so who cares?

In truth, there’s really nothing wrong with outsourcing “Walmart manufacturing” to other countries, and it’s good in theory. Trade allows for labor diversification, which means that people can focus on what they are best at, increasing overall production (and consumption, because in the long run,…

When HipHop Nation on SiriusXM was announcing him for first alerts and new music, it was Ex-Ex-Ex-Ten-Tayshun

Men need to get down to 8-10% body fat to really get quality, defined abs, women need to be around 15%. Getting that cut, and staying cut, is hard, especially when you have to bulk to build muscle continuously.

Perhaps, a 1.45 trillion dollar student loan market?
