I can't make out the first [inaudible], but the second one is:

The taxi scam should be updated for anyone going to Sweden. The fares are unregulated, meaning as long as the taxi posts its rates in the window, they can leaglly charge you anything. Several small companies calling themselves official-sounding names like "Stockholm Taxi" instead of "Taxi Stockholm" wait around…

Ugh. This article was well written, and funny, but the way it dislikes Garden State is the way I sometimes feel about Jezebel, because feel my pain! I am victim! All white men are inherently evil! The fact that it is not about a woman or a minority does not make the movie worse, it just makes it less worthy - those…

Well, Sierra published the very first Half-Life, so this can mean only one thing:

Wow. I just realized how much of a geek I am when my first thought on seeing the dress (not zooming or anything) was to think "huh, that looks like some Sandman in there".

Or... get a vacuum sealer. They're like 40 bucks. You'll save that on unspoilt meals in no time.

Just lay off the processed American cheeses and buy some nice aged ones; for example, cheddar has 0.07% lactose, you'd need to eat a couple of kilos to trigger an intolerance. I'd also recommend Emmenthal, Jarlsberg or Vasterbotten.

it's destroyed during the aging process - you'd have to eat a few pounds of good aged cheese before you got enough lactose to trigger anything

Kefir is NOT a milk substitute; putting in your coffee is like putting buttermilk in there. However, great on cereal.

Any yoghurt or "fil", of which Kefir is one, will have almost no lactose; you'd have to eat litres to trigger a reaction. Same with any aged hard cheese, which are the good ones anyway - a good cheddar or jarlsberg won't affect you at all. It annoys the shit out of me when self-diagnosed people pretend they can't eat…

I think you're completely missing the irony in the original piece.

Do NOT put salt in with the eggs, it'll start breaking the proteins down and ruin the texture.

I can't help but notice that I just made what I think is an entirely relevant analogy, which is a valid rhetorical technique. I don't think it's a ridiculous leap, if you think children can't make informed decisions in one area, you can't then turn around and say the opposite in another situation because it soothes…

I've been to Magaluf; it's probably real, sadly. When I was there there was a girl standing by the mens toilet queue soliciting people for "a quick shag". She was having a competition with her friends who could sleep with the most men on their holiday, and she just decided to go all in. She told me next day she had 21…

I learnt that a majority of people will always misinterpret sarcasm when I wrote for my college newspaper. I wrote a shockingly stupid "letter", where the fake author spouted some of the most sexist clichés you have ever read in such an obviously dunderheaded way that I felt sure noone would take it seriously, and…

Always had a soft spot for Mr Prinze (he got me laid a lot back in the late 90's since I looked exactly like him), so I know he has real geek cred. He also seems to have made a conscious decision to step back from the live actor gig - yeah sure, Hollywood wasn't beating down his door anymore, but he was basically…

Why won't it work on wi-fi? Added lag? Speed-wise, my wi-fi is at 90mb up and down, so that's better than most wired internet in the US, right?.

Always, ALWAYS leave your bag/purse/briefcase in the back seat, even if you're not the one who's usually driving your toddler - that way it becomes second nature to check the back seat.

I do a lot of voice-over work, and as such I record both place-holders and direct the final product. Even though I've done this for years now, I'm still amazed at how much better a VO will sound after filters are added and it's consolidated with the rest of the sound. Dinklage's voice in these sound like placeholders…

That is really not an attitude that will ever make you happy with anything ever, and it will actively make people who might have been allies turn away from you, so it's totally counter-productive.
