I never expected to read the type of misandry on Lifehacker as I just did in the first paragraph. Men as lovers, ew? It’s hard to ever feel bad for a man?

A Deere?

Again, where do you live?  I’d like to see a conviction from anywhere in the United States where someone was found guilty of a crime for simply tapping someone on the shoulder to get their attention.  It’s not illegal and this myth needs to die.

What country do you live in? Luckily, in every state in the United States, it’s not illegal to lightly tap someone on the shoulder to get their attention. There’s nothing assaultive about that.

Yes, the entire federal government (except “essential personnel,” which are the folks that work on holidays anyway, like cops, some military, border patrol, customs, etc...) shuts down for a day of mourning upon the death of a President. It’s definitely happened for Presidents Nixon, Reagan, Ford and, now, Bush. I

Those domestic prices make no sense.  Some of them are far more than the normal price, depending on your location.  I think domestic fares are too location-dependent to list them like this for the whole country.

Tack is a sailing term that, roughly, means the direction you’re headed at the moment. In order to sail into the wind, you actually have to sail at an angle into the wind, and then change your tack so that you alternate, say, going 45 degrees to the left of the direction you want to go, to 45 degrees to the right of

When you pour, instead of putting the hole/spout in the bottom corner, ensure it’s in the highest corner. This will allow air to flow in and prevent it from “glugging.”

There are quite a few airports here that I’ve never been to, but there are quite a few that I fly in and out of a LOT. Phoenix is nice. Philly is nice. San Diego is nice.  Chicago O’Hare, Orlando, LAX, Newark, and both New York airports suck. Washington Reagan is nice. Dulles is OK.

Barrel ice is completely different and is not soft and crunchy like this nugget ice. Barrel ice is hard like regular ice cubes (but is in a cool shape that increases surface area).

I look at my horoscope every now and then. I’m actually pretty impressed with how it applies to my life. Most of the time it fits me perfectly, other times it’s surprising, but after some thought I realize there may be something there...

What is a CWP?  The Texas License to Carry has the same address as your driver’s license and it’s a crime to not update it within 5 days of changing your residence.

They use your credit report, not your credit score (huge difference there!). In fact, they’re unable to see your credit score, per federal law.

LOL!  Live life all you want without borrowing money and you’ll have no worries about this score!

Lambrusco.  Red, crisp, sweet.  Good at room temp.  Great when chilled.

He’s pretty much the opposite of fascist.  He’s actually very libertarian, if not anarchist.

There’s nothing racist about the people who have died, and there’s nothing racist about the thousands and thousands of dead pets, all from China’s lack of quality control and safety regulations.

My only trip to Athens was before their recent economic struggles. It was a work trip, but I had a full day layover in town. I was booked into a hotel out by the airport, so I took a train into town and just walked all over the city. Looked at everything in the Acropolis and then just kinda wandered. Turns out there

I don’t think you’re going to get the creamy-without-dairy effect from most rice.  There’s a reason that only a few varieties of rice are considered suitable for risotto.

Nope. I can afford any of the things listed here but my preferences are based on quality. Sometimes I prefer the more expensive brand. Sometimes I don’t. Apple hardware is more expensive for the same or less capabilities than Android or PC. Nvidia is more expensive, but has drivers that don’t crash your PC regularly.
