THIS. So much. I wondered if I was the only person who actually read TKAMB to begin with, because it’s right there in the text.

Mark, we’re in the minority here, but I have a secret love of Olive Garden too. Everyone is always like “it’s not authentic Italian...blah, blah, blah.” I am fully aware it’s not authentic Italian, I’m not an idiot, but that doesn’t mean it’s not delicious in its glorious, fake Italian ways. Give me all the fettuccine

Mark, I hate to be the one to point this out, but friends don’t take friends to Olive Garden.

They’re are trying so hard it’s like Leonardo Trying to get an Oscar, but it’s just not working.

Much like every single stock image of nuns. That one’s a headscratcher.

The Museum claims it's not running a charity and, perhaps to the surprise of their donors, that appears to be the case. After reviewing their website I found no mention of tax status or deductibility for the donations they're soliciting so earnestly, although they do accept city funds. So while it's true they're not

Right? It's bizarre that they haven't thought of that.

Why don't they just take her on as an oral history project? Allow her to remain at her base rent, with the condition that she records her memories of the neighborhood for use at the Museum. Everybody wins, nobody's a charity case.

In the summer of 2013, I had spent 8 Very Long, Very Hard years in graduate school and was a mere two weeks away from defending my Ph.D. My monogamous husband of 8.5 years went over to visit our closest couple friends' of 5 years house to drink and play video games while I worked on all of my dissertation shit.

Back when I was fresh out of undergrad with my bio degree, I worked at an independent "lab" that tested efficacy claims of beauty products. We definitely had to keep FDA-approved records but everything was SO subjective and I had basically zero training. We had to evaluate fine lines and wrinkles, skin pH, moisture,

Embarrassingly enough, I can't see where I should be voting. I think the Pimsleur system is astonishingly good. I've used it both for Japanese and for Thai. In Japan, after 30 lessons on Pimsleur, when I'd get into a cab and tell them where I was going, the taxi drivers would just assume I was fluent in Japanese, and

No excuse???? They haven't been going very long! And they're completely free to use! What's your excuse for not getting off your backside and creating a language learning website yourself?

I recommend LingQ and the Michel Thomas Language Method - the latter is an audio method that is extremely helpful and available in 12 languages, including Dutch and Japanese! Rosetta Stone is only good as a secondary resource imo; the lessons are basically copy-pasted from one another without regard to the differing

Agreed 100%. I used to be such an avid Firefox fan...then I tentatively started using chrome just for gmail and facebook...but at some point in there I just fell head over heels for chrome. Automatic bookmark sync really turns me on.
