Because the only reason to have compassion for someone is that you’re having sex with them.

We used to be able to use our TiVos with just a cable card, which costs $1.99/month. I’d buy the card if I could. A couple years ago, our provider (Cox—one of the good ones for service, though not necessarily for price) started requiring a tuning adapter to support their use of switched digital video (SDV). It doesn’t…

She should be paid MORE than Duchovny!

What she said.

I think you’re right. But I don’t think that’s the way people who are posting it are using it.

I was hoping this one was fake, since it promotes the idea that personality is affected by the “blood” of one’s parents, an idea that underlies racism—not that Rickman was racist. But it seems to be a real quote.

Why would a company announce, before it releases a new product, that there will be no upgrade path in the product family?

Didn’t she play a drug lord (“drug lady”?) on Weeds?

The increasing economic polarization of the population means that fewer people will be able to afford an Apple Watch, but that more of those who can afford them can afford more than one.

We just rewatched it a few nights ago, and I was struck by how great the mythology is. I didn’t write an essay about it, but I did tell my husband “This is better than Star Wars.”

I have a friend who is using this now. It’s applied not just during the chemotherapy treatment, but also for four hours after. You switch out the cap every 30 minutes (if I remember correctly) to ensure that the scalp stays cool. Apparently they have similar therapies to prevent fingernails from falling out.

I use all of the above, but there are some caveats. As scoobydo says, you can’t pre-sign for everything. Also, USPS tracking is sketchy. A recent example: I ordered a MacBook Pro from an Amazon seller that shipped via USPS, and the only tracking notices I got were when it was shipped and when it arrived. And the…

I looked into the Surface Book, but it has 25% 1-star reviews on Amazon. I ended up getting the MacBook Pro.

You can cut the heteronormativity with a knife.

The Levi 511 Slim Fit Jean price of $30 was apparently just for one size (30×30) and style (Rigid Dragon), a combination that is no longer available.

When I click the link for the Panasonic LUMIX DMC-FZ300K 4K, Point and Shoot Camera with Leica DC Lens 24X Zoom, the price that appears is $547.99 rather than $400.

They both give me the creeps.

If only FedEx weren’t worse.
