Not “fat guy” compatible.  I’m not really that fat but if you look at the size chart, I’d need the XXL for the neck and the L for the sleeves.

In other news, water is wet.  Film at 11.

maybe people just aren’t listening to you?

With kids toys, blanks, sheets, and clothes -- if it can’t go through a regular wash and dry cycle it isn’t worth buying.  That was my rule with all three of mine.

You could pray to Dog about it.

Sure.  I absolutely trust them not to change the terms as soon as there’s a balance.  Not happening, WF.

What is it? Just read the paper.

This is a manufacturing problem. These bulbs are marketed as direct replacements and should perform as such. If they need an extra capacitor to regulate voltage better, then it should be part of the design.

These rides make me vomit. I see no reason to go on them for artificial fear. I’m a firefighter. I tell people I’m too cowardly to go on these rides, and I usually get a pass (see also: firefighter). I further tell them that if the coaster gets stuck up-side-down at the top of the loop, I’m willing to climb up, rope…

This sounds like a problem for Toyota and other bad implementations.

My Ford has a system like this. If you get out of the car with the key in your pocket and close the door, the car honks the horn twice. After some amount of time it will shut off. The car will also not drive — it is prevented from going into drive or…

Most of the cars will not allow you to put them in drive without the key being in the car with you. They are running but disabled for driving, just like with remote start systems.

to get certification to fly transatlantic, the 777 had to prove it could make more than half the maximum distance it would be over water with just a single engine.

Nonsense. It’s just that soaking them in the wrong thing is pointless. Regular dish soap is a surfactant. That basically means it makes bubbles and that makes things slippery. It’s good for grease and oils, but it separates in the water and doesn’t do much else. Dishwasher soap is different, especially the older…

Taking a guess at this, I’d say the justification for the clause is that the station ownership makes a significant investment in marketing the particular personality as the image for their news station. I’d love to see what an employment lawyer has to say about how well that would hold up in court.

That we will, we think, get all three of our kids through college - at least their first degree — without debt. We don’t drive fancy foreign cars, own boats or snowmobiles, and we have a kitchen from the 1980s. We’ve made these decisions on purpose and the result is paying off for us.

I have pretty much always used a business card for this. The biggest pain in the ass was that the tv would reset back to the hotel welcome and I’d have to spend ten minutes with the crappy remote finding an english language news show.

You only need fancy olive oil when your fancy olives are squeaking and in need of maintenance.

Your boss sounds like a real pain in the ass.

1. The whole “cc: the Boss” thing — that’s one of the worst email practices ever. It escalates, it’s an implied threat, it annoys people up the chain that don’t want to see this. You look unprofessional to the boss.

2. If you’re not getting what you need by email, you need to stop sending the emails and set up a…

I did a lot of work comparing flights recently. The prices on the tickets purchase through the chase rewards travel desk were higher than what I could pay otherwise. It made more sense to take the points as cash and use that to buy the tickets. I was not impressed.
