I’ve worked in a high-end hotel for 24 years, and while I’ve seen and heard about a lot of abusive guests, almost none of them were celebrities. Most celebrities know that if they’re assholes to people it’s going to get out. Most basically keep their head down and try not to attract attention, either positive or…

A lot of people are going to say “this is just how celebrities / super wealthy people behave,” which is complete BS. Thanks to my job, I’ve had dinner with people own two private jets, lunch with the owner of a major league baseball team, etc. and the vast majority of them were perfectly gracious and “normal” in social…

Yes Bose developed an adaptive suspension back in the 90's, don’t think it made it to production, that could, in theory, make it so you never felt a bump or dip. It could raise and lower each wheel independently in anticipation of a bump. There is even a video of it “jumping” a 2x4 in it’s path. Here is a video, it’s…

Looks fantastic and like nothing else. People will say it’s too expensive, but I think It’s smart. No other $300k+ luxury sedan offers this level of modern design; they all cater to old school luxury. I bet there’s plenty of new-money crypto bros who would rather have this over a Rolls. Though we all know the ultimate…

I’d love one of these... If it was built on a non-shit car platform. 

of all the articles that are slideshows with pictures, why isn’t this one of them?

Longtime Bostonian, and same. Also, that’s a long walk from the Comm Ave PP to the statehouse, I hope they all got blisters.

It depends on the type of food + duration that the dish will sit in the dishwasher. I don’t pre-rinse if I ate a plate that only has some ketchup residue on it and I am going run the dishwasher that night during the overnight hours.

Not that I think the Austin Powers movies were any particularly high moment in the history of cinema, but I think at least there they were parodying the Bond films, where the female leads change every film with almost no explanation.

I eat meat and enjoy Beyond/Impossible products interchangeably. I like knowing that I’m reducing my participation in factory farming, for example, and I feel slightly less weighed down by a Beyond burger than a normal one. But yes, even as someone within their target demographic, I don’t go out of my way to purchase…

LOL I love how the little leather wallet for the badge is clearly brand new, probably bought yesterday.

Can we just give debate moderators a microphone kill switch, or perhaps a lever that operates a trap door behind the podiums? Every debate now involves a moderator saying “Excuse me. Sir. Sir. Excuse me. Sir. I have to... Excuse me. Sir, your time is... Sir. Sir.” for several minutes with absolutely zero effect.

(D) Don’t split the bill... Our friends were ordering 2x or 3x the drinks, large-sized beers and/or ordering shrimp and scallops (versus the chicken) whenever they assumed we were splitting the bill. We just couldn’t keep up with how unfair it was getting. Avoid this mathematical mess altogether and get the credit…

To be fair, who hasn’t wanted to throw children into the trash?

AND - all the parks raise their prices (tickets) within days or even hours of each other. Keeps the bitching of the non-cultists to a dull roar.

Pre-gaming is not limited to college or concerts.  Pre-game and get your buzz on before going out, then your wine bill will be cheaper (and you are ok with cheaper wines), plus you will have some fullness and won’t order extra appetizers or entrees. 

Drink beer. Save money! One of my dearest friends and I go out to dinner sometimes. She drinks wine and sometimes martinis. I drink beer. Her bill is always significantly higher than mine.

The best part is that in the end, it’s probably a win for us either way - we’ll likely get a cool VR world thing (but probably not made by Meta, someone else will sweep in and do it properly) and with any luck we get to see the demise of easily the most morally bankrupt bottom-feeder software megacorp as it’s burned…

“But there’s something especially funny about this in particular”

They all suck so fucking much. They’re like modern plantation owners- a bunch of talentless pretty much 100% white rich dudes playing with each other off the backs of the labor of black men. I am so glad I’m not interested in football so I have one less thing to feel guilty about supporting. It’s bad enough that baby…
