One new service my local library in Cimmeria started this summer was lending state park passes for 24 hour periods, so that the vehicle use fee wasn’t prohibitive to families or kids who wanted to go visit the parks for the day (and go swimming in the hot weather). I thought this was an amazing service for low income

Judge John Hodgman disagrees.

Let’s not forget the OG Elephant Queen, though.

Was there really a difference between the Egg Cooker eggs and the steamed ones? Because I love my Egg Cooker precisely because it’s so fast and easy to use, and I find it hard to imagine a big enough difference to warrant the extra work involved. Also, I don’t own a steamer pot.

Mostly male life in Gallifrey

it always seems that the waitstaff presents the bottle to me

Also, I’m now randomly in the the greys again for some reason? Can someone ungrey me?

It’s the AV Club. The author has a perfectly reasonable expectation for readers to be relatively familiar with Oswalt given his history with this site. It’d be like showing up at Kotaku and getting pedantic that the author didn’t clarify in their writing that Samus is a woman or Zelda is the not the protagonist of

Yeah, that sounds awkward and is largely irrelevant in the context of the (very short) article that makes no mention of his current wife. Maybe just be more like, “Thanks for responding with that information I didn’t know,” rather than get all pedantic about how you would like the phrasing in the article catered to

There’s 6 or 7 in NY State that have liquor stores on the property, but they’re all technically separate businesses (and buildings) even though they’re owned by various members of Danny Wegman’s family.

Wegmans in Ithaca bought the wine/liquor store down the street last year, and there’s been rumors they’re going to build an annex in their auxillary parking lot and move it there and rebrand. None of that’s happened though, and it’s stilling going by its old name and the only difference is that they have

Both Gravity Falls and Star VS the Forces of Evil are on Hulu.

You should see the 3D printed weapons I’ve been forging in our library’s Makerspace. By Crom, this year’s Summer Reading program is going to have the best participation rates yet!

If someone is super nice to you and an asshole to others (e.g. the waitress), they’re still an asshole.

I’ve been in their situation before, and I don’t empathize. Just last week I was waiting at a (busy) tapas bar for my check for well over a half hour. Instead of just walking out (because checks usually get pushed to lower priority for servers when it’s super busy), I got up, found our server and said, “Hey, we’ve

Exactly. Ask for the check at the bar or flag down your/any server if you’re in a big hurry but don’t just walk out. That’s a super dick move, not just for the waitress but for Paul that they left to deal with the problem.

Now playing

So, the waffles reference in this trailer is a call back to the 2014 Teen Titans Go! episode “Waffles,” which itself was a reference to the 2005 Teen Titans episode “Cyborg the the Barbarian.”

It’s old humor, but self-referential old humor.

What sort of deterrent is a fine if a youtuber makes that fine back (and more) in revenue from their videos, maybe even the one where they committed the crime? There needs to be actual consequences to his actions beyond paying fines. Otherwise, this sort of thing can turn into a business model for sociopathic

No one can escape from my mighty legs!

I know shitty amateur DJs that have been working for 20 years, too. Heck, this guy Bob has been DJing Karaoke nights around my city since the early 90s, for nearly 30 years. Just because you’ve been DJing for a long time doesn’t mean you’re actually good, and if you’re adjusting room sound for yourself and selecting
