I find the best way to use reviews is to look for common problems. But this goes beyond just looking at the star rating and the number of reviews. If the product has a consistent problem people seem to leave 3-4 star reviews, so I start by looking there to see if the same thing comes up over and over.

I before e....always.

The British have been stubbornly hanging on to all their extra ‘u’s for nearly two centuries. The GIF pronunciation argument won’t likely die until the format does.

But how well do they hold their champagne?

I would like to add: Don’t Ship 80lbs of Beer in a Cardboard Box. I know this from experience.

It wasn’t an FPS but Magicka:Vietnam was pretty fantastic.

I do the exact same thing. Waking up is the worst part of the day.

Being a child of the 80's I have much <3 for the wedge, and while I won’t call the 308 ugly, you do have to find the right angle to make it look good. The 288 however, is perfect.

Big Bear is also small, lacking in terrain, and has to cater to the entire skiing/riding population of a 20 million+ metro area. Yes its expensive to get away to a big resort halfway across the country but its totally worth it.

I do this as well. My job has me working a different location every day, and driving 3-4 hours on top of the 8 hour work day, and despite dealing with people it’s still very isolating. So I take one evening a week and spend it nursing a couple beers at a local bar while working on my social skills.

I grew up going to T-road as well. Best race of the year was always the Enduro. 50-100 cars crammed onto that tiny circuit, mostly driven by rookies. It’s pure comedy at the start, and genuinely exciting racing once the herd got thinned out.

A couple articles that mention it, but no thoroughly documented studies.

The main culprit is not UV, but wavelengths in the blue and green spectrum. Brown glass does a good job filtering these out, green glass filters out green but not blue, and clear glass filters none.

I was there in August and it was in the 90s (30-35C) and very humid. Regardless of the weather, its a wonderful city to visit.

Vermonter reporting in. It’s pretty common to have class trips in the spring to a local sugar shack for sugar on snow. Never heard of the pickle though. I usually see cider doughnuts instead. It can also be fun to taste the pre-boiled sap. It has the consistency of water (being only 10% sugar) and a faint woody taste.

I don’t understand tamales. They’re at every mexican restaurant, and they’re a particularly big deal at Christmas time, but I find them incredibly disappointing. You take a tasty filling and wrap it in a disproportionate mass of terrible, bland masa. I live in southern California. I’ve eaten tamales at restaurants…

As someone who has spent some time crawling in and over air ducts, I can say the ones that are large enough to fit a person are almost always secured and strong enough to support a person.

Cataclysm was simply not enough content over waaay to long a time span. It was extremely well made and then devs put tons of time into redoing the old zones but in the end they just couldn’t make enough stuff and the post-expansion blues were drawn out far longer than any other expansion.

It’s absolutely hideous. It’s like the designers took a DB10 or an F-type and stretched every design element until a focus group started vomiting and hemorrhaging interally and then dialed it back one notch. It’s stupid and absurd in every respect.

Reading his article reminds me of why new new top gear will never quite live up to old new top gear. Clarkson’s writing is amazing! He is so enthusiastic about his subject material and pairs that enthusiasm with a combination of elegance and flare that it sweeps you away.
