This is really a problem of the airlines’ own doing.  By charging to check bags they’re basically begging us to drag everything on board - and as much of it as we can.  Can you imagine if your first checked bag was free but each carry-on was $20?  This article wouldn’t even be necessary.

I flew 135K this year. All short hop domestic - a LOT of flights. I checked a bag exactly never. And never ONCE did the TSA “unpacked my bag because there is too much stuff in it” - that is just not a thing. They unpack your bag when they see something your should not have in it, or something they can’t identify (a…

...never use a debit card.  Good advice in all situations.

My favorite progression was always:

Negatives are also a great way to work on pull ups if you aren’t there yet. Just jump to the top (or use a bench) and slowly lower yourself down. If you are going to go assisted definitely use bands vs the assisted machines at the gym. You will progress a lot faster because you still have to stabilize yourself.

If you read the judge’s decision, there are a few things that stand out.

It doesn’t really taste like chicken, not really a mystery to me. If you were to grill some chicken strips and taste it side by side with Subway you’d notice pretty quickly you were dealing with a different kind of protein. Obviously Subway has the money and motivation to fight it, but I hope they lose.

Side note, a…

The cover photo shows two phones plugged into wall warts plugged directly into an outlet. I don’t think you would need USB condoms for those—you’re only getting power from the wall if you supply your own adapter. It would only be if you attempted to use the direct USB ports that the “condom” would be necessary, since…

I was obsessed with last year’s Peloton ads, where a man bought one for his wife for Christmas and hid it in the garage, but couldn’t resist the urge to keep sneaking in and using it himself. Meanwhile, a separate ad showed the wife stumbling upon her gift (which just sat openly in the garage) and *also* kept sneaking…

The ones that irk me the most are those vehicle insurance ones that only advertise that you can load their app to keep in constant contact with your car insurance agents. Sheesh, I don’t ever -want- to contact my agent. Other than to pay a bill as ours doesn’t do online bill paying, I don’t contact them.

I don’t remember that one, but it likely made people less angry than that Brooklyn kid saying “what’s a computer?” last year :D

And since they’re re-running the same GMC commercial from last year, this means they bought each other THE EXACT SAME watches and GMCs they bought each other last year!

I get angry every time I see the house in the GMC commercial with the couple in their late 20s/ early 30s living in a million dollar modern mansion and he buys them matching GMCs because her matching watches for the hell of it. Who is this supposed to appeal to? 

I always thought 6:00 was a fairly normal time for adults to wake up. It’s not pleasant, but it’s not something I ever thought of bragging about.

I hate how aspirational this commercial is.

The coup de grâce really is at the end when they are watching her old Peloton workout videos on the couch as if that’s completely normal.

Thank you for posting this. Every year there are ads that stick out in this way (there are several that make me shout at the TV “it’s just fucking insurance!”) but this one is really aggressively toxic. The girl is already gorgeous, she looks like Odette Annable and Ana de Armas had a kid. Then she struggles for a…

The real change is... ON THE INSIDE.

Why would she be nervous about riding on a stationary bike? You can’t fall off, get lost, or get side-swiped by an impatient driver. And when you can’t pedal anymore, just get off.

Why would I want it? I had a very brief ownership of an iPhone and that was one “feature” I turned off immediately. Now if it could tell when I was in a car, ask me aloud if I want to receive the latest text message aloud, and I could respond to it by talking then I would be all over it. But to keep me from getting…
