Mohicans and Mohawks are not even remotely the same tribe. One tribe is Algonquin and the other is Haudenosaunee. They have very different traditions and dress.

No, you can’t. That’s neglecting the cat, and many a person who does this comes home to a dead, sick, or neurotic cat. Who is cleaning the litter box? Playing with and interacting with the cat so it doesn’t freak out? Providing FRESH water? Feeding the cat something other than dry food (which causes health problems

Putting down a beloved pet or watching him waste away from a highly manageable disease because I was too lazy to get up and test him at night would have been way more stressful for me—even if I was working two jobs and going to grad school at the time. I do take my responsibility to care for my pets seriously—they

His health problems were significant, but treatable. His quality of life was just fine for many years (he was diabetic for 10 years—mostly in remission, Myelo for 5, CHF for 3), and when it started to deteriorate I did make the choice to euthanize him, at the age of 16. His vet (who he saw every 3 weeks once the CHF

Right, because you happen to know exactly what my life and stress levels are like? Because NOTHING in the universe is more stressful than your precious child that you CHOSE to have.

If your cat was barely a responsibility I feel bad for your cat. You’re not supposed to leave a cat alone for more than 48 hours—they get lonely, depressed, and anxious, and they often have psychosomatic conditions crop up as a result, sometimes life threatening. And while a cat and a child are two completely

Well, here’s some good news—once stores are in the “opening” category and out of the “future sites,that means they’ve purchased the land and begun construction, so it looks you will be getting one in Brooklyn next year.

I know it’s probably super weird to like a grocery store this much, but I don’t think I could live more than 15 minutes away from a Wegmans for the rest of my life. I seriously wouldn’t know how to shop or feed myself. Coupons, recipes, nutritional info, and shopping lists are all integrated into the app, which also pr

I realize the taste test is limited to Chicago grocery stores, but if you’re on the east coast, Wegmans rotisserie chicken beats Whole Foods hands down. I don’t typically don’t prefer white poultry meat (I’m weird, but I always think it’s too dry), but actually enjoy it from a Wegmans rotisserie chicken because it’s

Well, Nietzsche would say that it was the triathlete’s right to exert his will in eating the 100 plates of sushi, but it was also the restaurant’s right to not allow him back to the restaurant. So neither the triathlete nor the restaurant behaved unethically, because eating the 100 plates of sushi and banning the

There’s something in LaCroix’s Lime and Peach-Pearnatural” flavorings that trigger my allergies. No idea what it is, just that the same thing happens when I drink cheap Sauvignon blanc so it’s probably the same chemical flavoring. I really wish it was required to list those on products.

I don’t know what flavoring they use for the lime, but it tastes like absolute garbage. Regular plain Perrier is fine, but the comment in the article that it “tastes like a lab from where scientists are trying to figure out what a lime tastes like” is spot on.

I’m a huge fan of their Lime, Cranberry-Lime, and Georgia Peach (I wish the peach came in cans!) but their limited run of Tangerine-Limeade they had a 3 or so years ago was literally the best seltzer I’ve ever tasted, and nothing else comes close.

I rushed down to the comments to make this exact same post, but you beat me to it!

Polar Lime is by far my favorite seltzer. With Polar Cranberry Lime coming in a close second. I don’t know what it is about the flavoring they use, but these two flavors at least taste like the real thing—like you just squeezed a lime in

Did you watch the show? Because it’s actually about how Patty becomes a worse person once she loses the weight and destroys every good relationship she has. I’m not saying the show is good (I can see why it got an F because there were some really obnoxious elements to it), but people are definitely getting offended by

I can’t agree hard enough. I worked as a sommelier for a fine dining restaurant for several years before I went to library school, and boy do I miss the exploration of so many different wines I was able to experience that job (which I usually received for free from local wineries and distributors or were at least heavi

This is definitely not the case in NY—there’s a lot of Finger Lakes blended wines that are excellent, typically Bordeaux style blends of cab sav, cab franc, and merlot. A good vintner combines flavors to accentuate the best note of each grape, so that the end product is more balanced in flavor than any of the

I’m more excited for Overcooked 2 than I probably should be.

It was funnier when Cards Against Humanity did this exact same thing last year.
