If Ikea, then you’d have to assemble it yourself, but you could pick up some meatballs at the snack bar.

Yikes, now you’ve got me worried about myself as I get older! I am pretty similar to how you’ve described your father -- I’ll admit that I am very technically minded but often a poor judge of character. I try to compensate for this by being skeptical of everyone and anyone, but there’s always the chance that…
I wish I had the motivation to string along phone scammers like that (I usually just side-button them). I once watched a video that went on for about 45 minutes of someone playing along with a scammer with the intent of just wasting his time -- time that the scammer would have otherwise spent targeting other marks.
I’ve heard the term “salad cream” before, but I’ll admit that I’m not clear on exactly what it is. Is it a uniquely British thing, or is it something that we colonials changed the name of? The closest things I can think of are ranch dressing (the creamiest salad dressing) or Miracle Whip (looks like mayo and the store…
I tried to get into the show but was also turned off to it by all the screaming. It seems unnecessary for a family sitcom. The ‘80s references were sometimes cool, but pop culture references will only go so far.
If I’m baking, I am meticulous about getting the measurements right and following the instructions diligently. Those are real chemical reactions going on, and I do not have the knowledge required to know how changes in each ingredient affects the end result.
You’re not the only one who thinks about those things, and you’re a good son/daughter for looking out for your dad the way you are. Whenever I hear about a story like this, I think about how the people I love would react if put in a similar situation. My parents are the ones who taught me to think critically, so I…
I really would love to hear the audio of this call and others like it. The scammer must have been incredibly confident and incredibly convincing since there were so many points in the process where most people’s B.S. detectors would have been going off the charts.
As far as I can tell they still teach math. Sticking a dollar sign in front of the numbers doesn’t change the basic concepts of arithmetic.
That is another of my favorite segments!
How are the purchase prices so low? When I think of a <$2,000 car, I’m picturing a rusted-out hunk that’s leaking all kinds of fluids and barely runs. These look like very nice cars for their age, and I would have expected their asking prices to be much higher.
How does putting down a deposit at one school help you to get off the waiting list of a totally different school?
This is welcome news for me. I love turning Top Gear on as background noise on the weekends. When the show left Netflix and Prime, my only way to watch it was through Motor Trend’s TV channel (I don’t have the app and even though it’s very inexpensive, I feel weird about paying a recurring subscription fee to watch…
Is there a good lighting solution for eyeglasses wearers? The round light reflection looks cool in naked eyeballs, but it looks pretty dopey in the lenses of glasses. I usually stick to still photography, so a simple flash (off-camera if I’m feeling fancy) usually does the job, but something like could be fun to play…

My answer isn’t particularly exciting, but I plan to continue to lay low for a while, even after I’ve been vaccinated. There is a lot of pent-up demand from people to do all the stuff that couldn’t be done over the past year (travel, concerts, sporting events, restaurants, etc); while I miss those things, I don’t want…
“Her name’s Ann, Dad, and he’s not ‘going on’ her.”
I can never get the math to work out for an RV — even a small one like this.
This article was enlightening to me because in my mind “Soylent” and “Huel” were the same thing — a powder that’s dissolved into water as a meal replacement; the same thing for every meal. Seeing the different types of “Huel” showed me that it’s more versatile.
