So assuming most people work a 9-5, the pre noon lunch seems crazy to me. You’re eating two and a half hours into an eight hour day?

I’m with you. I grew up in Oklahoma and after leaving managed to come back for work by chance. Some friends of mine from the coasts also by chance ended up here. The bought a house and had a kid here. But after just over a year, they have had it and are leaving. The rampant fundamentalist Christianity, the rejection…

My evidence is purely anecdotal, and probably skewed because I worked at a university. However, in my three years living in Los Angeles, it seemed like most of the people I knew or spent time with were not actually from California. Granted, I didn’t make friends with everyone I encountered and I’m sure that most of…

That book excerpt is just amazing. What sort of mentality are you raised on when as a kid you devise a plan to scam your own friends? The whole family is truly loathsome.

I air dry jeans and my more expensive clothes (e.g. button down work shirts). The key for me was just looking at the lint screen after each dry and realizing that I was seeing the remnants of my shirts thinning and decaying with each dry.

I think she did— look at the email with the 4:22 time stamp. I believe that that’s Courier New.

So you’re saying I need to change my font back from Courier New. This is depressing, but at least I know why people at work think I am crazy.

It depends on a lot of factors, but the turning tires can tear up the green’s Bent grass and can leave ruts. But again, it depends.

As a follow-up to my other post (I don’t know why I am obsessed with this), Rob Gronkowski— meathead Tight End for the New England Patriots— reportedly only lives off of money he makes in endorsements, etc. All of his NFL salary remains untouched and is presumably just earning money in investments.

Gronk is not nearly…

I totally get flying on a private chartered plane for him. The crowds would be impossible in an airplane. But chartered planes are not horribly expensive for someone like him. This site quotes ca. $2000 an hour for a small cabin jet, and ca. $3000 and hour for a mid cabin jet. That’s a lot of money for you and me, but…

I don’t understand. This man should have generational wealth. Even living a lavish lifestyle, it’s hard to imagine how someone can spend literally hundreds of millions of dollars in such a short period of time. What a waste.

Joke’s on him, he’s billing a guy who is notorious for skipping out on the check.

OK. I know each state is different in how it deals with booze-makers/importers and distributors. I didn’t know that a distributor could acquire a brewery, or that that was a thing.

If only you knew. Jay Sekulow is is best known for “defending” the civil liberties of Evangelical Christians and has (or had— I don’t know if it’s still on) a daily radio program that you could listen to on Christian radio. And of course, “defending” here means just fighting for anti-abortion, anti-LGBT,…

Distributors say the law aims to prevent larger beer companies that acquire independent breweries from avoiding paying distributors.

I will tell you that I can totally sleep on my side with my CPAP. I use the full mask version, but it’s totally possible.

Show him the news reports of Carrie Fischer’s cause of death? I don’t know. My girlfriend threatened to leave if I didn’t get a sleep study (it’s easy to tell if he has sleep apnea: if he snores and then occasionally stops breathing for a time before finally gasping for air, he has it). I did and of course I had…

If the air is getting in your eyes, then the mask isn’t fitting you properly. I’d go back to the place you got your CPAP from and have them help you. There needs to be a tight fit so that it can achieve the positive airway pressure that counters the apnea.

Yes, I don’t really like it and just force myself to do so because not doing it just means I’m shortening my life. And I have noticed a difference: I can now actually sleep through the night for 7 or 8 hours without waking up once. Before the CPAP, I was waking up every few hours due to the apnea. So I’d say it just…
