Same thing happened to me. That was the single shittiest kitchen task I’ve ever done, and I’m including cleaning my slovenly roommate’s month-old dishes in that assessment.

Yeah, but there are plenty of people for whom this will be a selling point.

Since moving to San Francisco a few years back, all of my minor gripes that I think about way too much are connected with how nobody in this city seems to know how to use a sidewalk. You walk right, you pass left. You don’t spread out across the entire sidewalk in a gaggle of people, all on their phones, all shambling…

That’s actually part of the reason why I stopped going back to the first PoE after I think maybe 30 hours. I know this will sound stupid, but it was just too BIG. I didn’t have time to do everything, and I was dreadfully afraid of missing out on the best stuff, so I just... back burnered it, and now here we are,…

I was happy to see the milk drinks so close to the bottom. I think the worst “cocktail” I’ve ever had were Irish car bombs. And this was not a desperation drink. It would be Friday, after classes, the world was our oyster, and my friends and I would say, “You know what tonight feels like? A carbomb night. John! Go get…

I feel like Poe’s Law is in ful effect when you read food hacks like this, especially in health magazines. Is this a legitimately crazy person, or is this a vegan prank (which, I guess, is just a differently legitimately crazy person)?

Clearly, you’ve never been in my fraternity’s kitchen. But we were particularly gifted at being slovenly.

I’m awfully excited about this. I think they overdid it in the second film, where everyone and their grandmother was an assassin, but I love the idea that there are a lot of them out there, just under the surface. Hell, they could even go with a “Black Mirror” bullet-sharing idea. I don’t know. I have great faith in…

I played through the game once, and loved it, then decided to play through it again and 100% it without using fast travel, except between zones. Right now, I’ve done every encounter, every map marker, every quest, except for the Gwent one. I’m still maybe three cards from doing that, and they’re all on random sellers.…

Reading this almost makes me happy that a confluence of where I have work and baby boomers’ shitty, fuck-you-got-mine policies have made home ownership a dream I’ll probably never attain.

Hmm, I wonder what percentage of their take ends up putting together stuff like this, and how much ends up in Backer’s pocket? Do they have to make disclosures on how much money they actually spend on advocacy?

You may have already been told this, but nobody in maybe twenty responses to you have mentioned it, and you seem willing to learn: Anything with USC in the citation is United States Code, which makes it a federal statute. CFR is Code of Federal Regulations, also federal law, but promulgated by the executive branch,…

Only tangentially related, but what are the search and seizure laws (if any) about electronic files stored elsewhere but immediately accessible from a site being search according to a warrant. Like, if I keep everything on an off-site server, but my local computer can get in to it with a saved password, can the cops…

Yeah, I just watched that highlight video. He knows that Simpsons where Homer takes up boxing isn’t an instructional video, right?

This is where I’m at. I don’t care how bad you thought Ryan was; I promise you that the next guy will be worse*. The Republicans are not a party trending toward the moderate position.

Man, these new Avengers characters suck.

Really? That’s weird, because he reminds me of a different kind of terrible boss that I have had.

The Safehouse in Milwaukee has a password, if you’re Nick. It’s a really cool place to take visitors.

I interned at the Milwaukee public defender’s office back when I was in law school. It was an office of maybe fifty attorneys, and there were two computers that had DVD drives. The prosecutors, of course, all had computers with DVD burners, so that’s how they would give us discovery, and we would have to get the…

The way that they use “surfaced” in that statement just makes it sound like something somebody ran through Google Translate. It reads like a cop’s report. There are so many better verbs for that job, like “disclosed” if you want to pretend to be smart, or “revealed” or even “told us about” if you don’t mind sounding…
