Now that I think about it, it has been a long while since I’ve seen anyone getting a blanket or a pillow on a Southwest flight.

Planes can get cold, and some people are more sensitive to lower temperatures than others.

Same. I’ve only seen the sealed blankets on long-haul or international flights— granted, I don’t fly long distance much.

Probably a fringe case, but what’s the deal with (plug-in) hybrids, where the engine doesn’t turn on unless you try to accelerate really fast, or force it through an EV/HV mode button. Then again, winters in my part of California rarely drop below 40F, so maybe my idea of “cold” is pretty different.

I just wish they were more upfront about it. It sucks thinking you could achieve the same results with some expensive designer sulfuric acid day cream when really the answer was implants and skin grafts.

Ugh, what? Just crush up the Cheetos and bread the chicken with it, the way nature intended.

I hated gym because it always felt like you were on display and in a competition, which really sucked if you were a floppy, asthmatic kid like I was. I basically didn’t even try because I’d just further embarrass myself. I honestly got way more exercise chasing my friends around during recess— which is probably what…

It’s like if I wanted to get a tattoo that said “barracuda,” but decided to drop a few letters and ended up with “bra,” or “bud”.

I’m not surprised. People who go into higher education with a curious mind usually come out the other end as a critical thinkers who are capable of changing their opinion in the face of cold, hard facts. If they were an egotistical bigot going in, they’re just going to come out an egotistical bigot who is now armed…

It’s probably because anti-vaxxers grossly underestimate the chances of their child contracting measles, and grossly overestimate the chances of their child having a negative reaction to the vaccine.

The snooze button is my best friend, but probably because I don’t fall asleep in the 9 minutes it takes for it to go off again— I normally use that to muster enough willpower to leave the warmth of my bed.

Depends on the type of dirt. A fine, even dusting (the sort my car collects because I basically only drive on California highways) won’t show up on white, but it’ll dull the gloss of a black car real quick.

As far as I can tell, car loans still amortize similarly to mortgages. You still pay more interest in the beginning than at the end, so taking a longer term, even if the interest rate is the same, means you’ll be paying more in interest:

Taking the longest loan term possible is a no-brainer if you’re looking at 0% APR (or perhaps any rate that’s lower than what you’d earn in a high-yield savings account).

That’s also assuming they have a smaller table they can move the party to, which may not be the case in a busy/small restaurant.

Asking a seated party if they could move so the restaurant could accommodate a larger party is probably a huge faux pas, particularly if they’ve already been seated long enough to put their orders in.

I’m not a cyclist, but she’d basically be jam if she fell at that speed, right? Unassisted or not, 184 MPH is crazy fast for a meatbag to be traveling at, let alone in a controlled manner.

I think it’s the urushiol in the mango skin, specifically. I wear latex gloves regularly for work and have had no problems with dentists poking around wearing them, either.

Same! Though the causes are different.

Whoa, hey, I have the same reaction to mangoes (particularly less-than-perfectly-ripe red mangoes)!
