This is in its third season and I have never even heard a rumor of it until now

Joule thief!

That’s an immediate tow from my perspective. And putting a little pebble in the valve stem cap as well.

He’s right about people in general, not just golfers. They don’t think ahead while in line. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been in a TSA security line and half the people walk up to the podium and only then start pulling out their ID and boarding pass. Or they don’t get out the credit card at the store until all…

My ‘15 was a great car. Loved it. But not enough to keep it when the buyback was so great.

LIST THE GODDAMNED PRICE OF THINGS ON THE GODDAMNED MENU. If not, I’m going to continue to sit there with your cocktail lists asking, “And how much is this one? And how much is that one? Oh, you don’t know—can you find out?” That’s not a better situation for anyone. Unless you’ve got something that’s dependent on the m…

Seriously, even another conservative Republican would be better than Mitch McConnell. NIXON in his prime would be better than Mitch. She can say whatever she wants just so she gets a shot at taking that treasonous bastard down.

Sometimes the writers here come off as living in a bubble. 

I don’t need her to be a leftist dream, I need her to be better than Mitch. It’s a pretty low bar. Campaigning in a way that talks to voters she needs to win over, conservatives who have probably voted red their whole lives (or voted southern democrat when that was still a thing) is smart. 

My response to both parts of your post: I’m for anything that gets Plaza more screen time.

Waited tables all through high school summers and full-time through college — wouldn’t have made it through university in DC without the income from waiting tables & bartending.

And I averaged around 23%, which I’m still proud of to this day. Naysayers to tipping often talk about it not being fair to everyone, but the…

“Into the Groove” from Desperately Seeking Susan, which was never released as a single in the US and so never charted (it was the B-side to the single “Angel”) is my favorite Madonna song

You know what they say: if everyone you meet is an asshole, you’re the problem.

I did not call you a douchebag.  That’s your persecution complex talking.

You are as big a snob as anyone. And newsflash: not-rich people can also be douchebags.

I’m a fan of the Alexia brand frozen sweet potato “puffs” — fantastic little orange tots, bake up nicely, just need salt & pepper.

Beyond burgers look weird, taste terrific. I prefer them to Impossible, actually. Way more meat tasting than the author implies. 

Sushi doesn’t go with crackers.

It all depends on what you are saving for, your risk tolerance, and how liquid you need it to be. I can buy 3 month treasuries (commission free at Fidelity) at rates higher than 2.2% so I don’t see much reason to be locked into a longer CD. I also put money into index funds because I can handle more risk. The long…
