I spent eight years in DC and one overseas before coming home to the Boston area, and while there’s a lot that’s different, there’s also a hell of a lot that’s better. Various suburbs have been affected very differently. Wakefield is a thriving, outstanding town; most of the north shore has seen a massive influx of…

There are lots of places you can get a caprese sandwich with good prosciutto on crusty bread and if that sandwich had an established name (everyone seems to call it something of their own) it would be a first round pick. 

I don’t agree with all of your logic.

Man I have issues with EVERY ONE OF YOUR DRAFTS. But I did vote for a winner.

This could accurately describe stars in literally every major sport and I find players like that incredibly frustrating. The upside is that it makes the stars who don’t behave like raging assholes even more inspiring and impressive. 

Well yes, obviously. But the author of the comment I was replying to wasn’t. 

I mean, her route only works if you’re a raging sociopath who cares about nothing but her own standing and power. As the show has shown us that most of the other surviving power players aren’t, it wouldn’t work for them. It works for Cersei though.

This is the interpretation the show is actually showing us. Cersei sees all the possible ways this can play out. The only one where she ends up as queen is this one—the Northerners and the Dragon Queen weakened or defeated by the Army of the Dead, but victorious, so Cersei’s forces can mop them up.

THIS HAS DEFINITELY BEEN YOUR WRITING STYLE FOR A WHILE NOW WE HAVE NOTICED YOUR SERIOUS FACE

I wouldn’t conflate the concerns about not being able to get games on physical media (which are pretty easily alleviated by selling them on a thumb drive) with setups like Stadia where you’re just on a subscription service and you don’t own a permanent license to the game at all.

I used to be real good at Smash. And I lost about 2000 hours of my college career (and almost my entire college career) to it.

I hate that I love you

I... I don’t understand what you’re looking for. Prime video is loaded with libraries of TV catalogs including 90% of the HBO catalog up to a few years ago when they made the deal (so Game of Thrones is out, but all of the Sopranos, the Wire, Deadwood, Big Love, Curb Your Ethusiasm, Boardwalk Empire, etc), plus multipl…

Missed this back when you posted it, but $3.97 for a packer ends up being $5-5.50 or more once you’ve had to trim all the hard fat off. $6+ for flats isn’t crazy, although anyone who chooses to smoke flat without point might be...

So I’ve been doing a series of pastramis because science, and I gotta say I’m not sure 3 hours is enough smoke on most cookers. My first run after reading this I checked at 3 hours and my bark was not at all set the way I wanted it to be. I was running a pellet grill that tends to be a low smoke producer, but I threw…

I realize this comment is three years old, but I just had this exact same experience. Melatonin works pretty well on me and I was curious so I clicked on the delayed sleep phase disorder link. And it described my entire life almost exactly. None of my doctors or psychs have ever mentioned the condition, nor have they…

Feels like we’re about to see a whole lotta engaged one-and-dones

My mom taught me that one after my sister and I were in an accident and I called to tell her. Suffice to say I did not lead with the news that my sister was fine, and I have not made that mistake again.

Almost makes you wonder if, given that they act on screen regularly, SAG is the correct union. 

Mock the dude all the way to the bank (although the real criticisms about him for his real criminal history are probably more legitimate), be my guest. But 90% of these posts and articles are saying she got in because he bribed USC the old fashioned way, by donating a shitload of money, which is completely unfounded…
