I’m trying to understand how the hell this happened, too. I feel like, at my school, the students chose the commencement speaker. (The graduating class, specifically.) Or, at least, we had a say in who was chosen. I can’t imagine DeVos had much support from among the student body, so why was she inflicted on them in…

Hah, that’s adorable that you think he’ll apologize. If he ever revisits this it’ll be to double down, mark my words.

I don’t quite understand why you seem so hell-bent on arguing the deplorability of your childhood actions, but you’re not going to convince us. You were providing a useful service to people at face value and a fair price. I don’t give a fuck about “illegal”, “illegal” is bullshit. Jaywalking is illegal, but that isn’t…

And yes, it was the same Republican President that enacted the free cell phone for low income and unemployed households that later became known as “Obama phones.” Formee President George Bush Jr., the Republican President that FORMER President Obama blamed everything on.

Not really my mod since the car came to me this way, but my first ride was a second-hand 1988 Buick (your standard boring-ass K-car... I think it was a Skylark maybe?) with part of the back emblem broken off. We got a lot of mileage (no pun) out of jokes about my Italian import car, the “Buici”.

I would even go a step farther and say that, if you are comfortable with the prices charged at airport stores/concessions (instead of, like most of us, paying them grudgingly and under protest), then that constitutes a tacit admission that you would gleefully charge the same outrageous prices if you were to operate…

Seems more likely to me that the finger is superimposed, over sped-up video of the truck changing lanes. I think? That’s probably how I’d try to do it.

I just feel like someone should point out that this problem could also be avoided by writing headlines like, “December 20, 2010 will be the darkest night of the past 500 years”. A headline with “Tonight” in it just feels like someone thumbing their nose at the fact that Gizmodo’s content engine is going to keep…

In the spirit of Walt’s comment about lifehacker, above, those Personal Experiences pieces are exactly the reason that visits to Cracked are still a frequent part of my regular daily web-slinging. They’re the target of So. Much. Whining! from the “Remember when Cracked was funny?” crowd, something I will never…

Everyone got all caught up picking their theme song, and I feel like we’ve failed to properly appreciate this hack and what it represents. It just feels... Important™. Like it represents the culmination of everything lifehacker has been working to achieve since its inception — their Magnum Hackus!

This is blog worthy because it is one of the greatest baseball players ever condoning one of worst racist things in sports today that would probably take the 1 spot if it wasn’t for Washington football existing.

My life changed, shower-accessories wise, the day I realized that 3M Command® Adhesive Strips work on tile. Overnight, the maddening ritual of having to reattach those infernal suction cups every week or two disappeared from my life. One little plastic caddy-cup thing was attached, firmly, in the same place in my…

The price of the wall plate for these should read $6.34, which is rather a lot more than “Leviton sells one for just $.34”.

The standard-issue, ugly-ass brown doorstop is practically a cliche, and not a particularly endearing one. (These stops appear to come in either gray or white, which... is its own sort of odd, but whatever.)

If you think a 3D-printed plastic one is going to be any use whatsoever, you must not really need a doorstop. The whole point of these is that they’re made out of textured, incredibly-high-friction, non-skid rubber. As their copy on the Amazon listing says, “No door in your house will dare to move, unless you ask it…

Shouldn’t they make the pathway to the locker room as short and straight as possible?

Yes, all of those. Depends how anal-retentive you are, and also how often you reconfigure.
