I made a “beef stroganoff” the other night that was pretty good — just fried up some ground beef, onions, and mushrooms, and added them to beef ramen along with a dollop of sour cream.

My god man, why would you include Martyrs on a “horror newcomers” list? If anything it should be on a list for “people who are ready to be done with horror movies forever.”

Something I’ve always wondered — how/why does this work? What does the vinegar do?

He forgot step four: work for Google!

The most useful tip for me from this article (that probably should have been obvious) is that page loading only improves as much as your slowest activated ad-blocker. I have three of them installed, and have had all of them turned on, thinking more would cover more bases. D’ohh!

Now I want a website that reviews loading times of other websites! Some of these benchmarks are shocking!

Someday, it will be possible to physically prevent yourself from downloading and installing software that you don’t need. Until then, all we can do is complain about their existence in Lifehacker comments.

I’m conflicted about this, as an Asian-American who’s planning on submitting some work under a non-Asian pseudonym. My primary reason for doing so is that I don’t want to be pigeonholed as a “minority” writer, and it hadn’t occurred to me until now that this might be unethical.

These magnificent weirdos have always been with us...who was the guy who looked at a snail and thought, “I wonder how that tastes?”

Um....

And no I am not an alcoholic. I’m from Wisconsin.

Doesn’t it kind of freak you out, though? The first time I saw a planet up close through a telescope, I wanted to vomit! I don’t know...something about the fact of these immense objects out there just blows all my circuits.

In this overpopulated world, anyone deciding to have children should at least be cognizant of the fact that they’re burdening society with their offspring. The time is long past when we should be treating new humans as precious miracles rather than the fruit of their parents’ narcissism.

That would describe many children in their 30s.

The answer of course is to eat more salt, so your taste buds will be corroded like the rest of us!

I have no clue as to the true nutritional benefits of bone broth, but if you’re saying bone broth = soup, you apparently don’t know what bone broth even is, making this post effectively useless. Google is your friend!

I think that's what makes King such a compelling storyteller — his ability to tell a story in a perfectly natural-sounding voice. I find his writing instantly immersive because I'm not constantly reminded of WRITING happening, as I am with lesser writers. It's so awful to read a story where the author has no natural…
