I’m glad to see that we’re not equivocating or excusing gas prices, because the recent price jump is BS, and will negatively impact millions of Americans. Factoring in wage stagnation, inflation, and the overall disruption to our economic system that occurred in ‘08 and is still playing out today, please keep in mind…

Also, that’s NOT the SNES Classic, if we’re being technical - it’s the mini.

So, I follow the link, and just get a page of buying options, none at the price listed. Are we to assume that since your 9pm posting last night, they already sold out???

Here’s the cold, hard fact of the matter: The most effective (and also most frustrating strategy at first) is simply to build up your strength by using proper form and doing partials from a dead-hang until you’re able to do one clean rep. Out of all the suggestions above, scap-pullups (or scap shrugs, as I call them)…

An important consideration - to me, at least, as a runner - is the intersection at which efficiency and artificial assistance meet. In other words, at what point do the elements in a shoe, such as a ton of springy foam and a kind of rebound plate in the sole, constitute....well, cheating? How much assistance can a…

In our current age, with the beervolution sweeping the world, we’ve seen a substantial (and I’d venture, at times, blindly unilateral) obsession with ever-hoppier brews being hocked as craft, regardless of whether they possess well balanced flavor profiles. The “more hops=better” equation used by many brewers and…

You just have to wonder, with a net worth estimated at $225million and endless connections throughout the artistic communities, how in the ever-loving-fuck does a celebrity end up with some of the sloppiest ink you’re likely to see this side of a prison cell??? It’s not a question of style preference, here - that is…

Been doing this for years in single-serving portions, but in a different baking vessel. Never liked cake pans when cooking anything with oil & fats, so instead I use a vintage Corningware “Spice of Life” 1qt roasting dish and toaster oven. Amazingly versatile option for anything from roasted veggie medley that can…

It’s a cool idea, and logical, as any other filtration system adds bulk to a pack, which is particularly a concern for backpackers doing real distance. But at $200, that’s a hefty price for convenience, when you could simply bring a squeezable filter bottle and spend the extra 60seconds using it to fill your hydro…

It’s a nice starter kit, but I’m immediately gazing at a few gaping holes in this arsenal. First, garlic powder. Sure, fresh garlic is cheap, superior, and relatively easy to use, but in a pinch (if you run out of garlic cloves), having some garlic powder on hand can save the day for countless recipes. If blended…

Love the idea, but my first reaction was worrying about the relative durability of standard mason jars for baking, as they’re not really designed for that. Sure, you can pressure can with them, and they endure heat, but baking is different. Pyrex is much better for baking (wish they made pyrex mason jars). Just…

The study, when scrutinized closely, doesn’t really offer compelling evidence of overwhelming and significant change in consumption. And their characterization of it as “the largest study” is relative and misleading, since it included less than 900 people. Considering the vast range of lifestyles, personality types,…

This is yet further evidence to support my feeling that the human race will be destroyed, not by war, famine, disease, or aliens, but simply by willful ignorance run amok in the atrophied minds of some none-too-distant future generation who’ve surrendered their capacity for critical thought to some fucking App, or…

While I’m glad to see some relativity brought to this situation, it still seems like a typically obtuse response from those of us cocooned in first-world privilege. We’re all fuming with righteous indignation over some tactless ad from a soda company, and THAT’S reason to boycott them. But nobody bats an eyelash at…

This is one of those items that elicits an initial “oooooh, me wanty!”, followed by a “wait, but actually...” kind of response. Been using a standard wand trimmer for years. The idea of going cordless seems awesome, as the cord is often a nuisance, especially when cutting the back. But I’m wary of cordless trimmers,…

Yeah, so....no, definitely no on this one. If you can’t successfully clean the lid of your food processor, maybe just stick to ordering take-out. A simple bristle brush does the job fine. And the water-waste vs. plastic wrap waste argument isn’t even valid. That saran-wrap will basically sit in a landfill forever - or…

Gotta agree with the rest on this one - seems like a bit of effort just to end up with compressed paper. I don’t have a syringe around the house, either. But like everyone, I do have an endless supply of dryer lint, scrap paper, cottonballs, etc, etc. When the “hack” takes more time than the regular method, it’s not a…

A good alternative is a hanging L-sit, using a pull-up bar. It can be a little easier on the shoulders (for some folks), and can help beginners build up to a strict 90degree “L” hold. But it also offers the progression of an L-sit pullup, which is full body engagement.
