So high quality that even the royals eat there!

Salty and completely dry. No mold will form if there's no moisture. The guy who made that video sounds like a complete jackass. I won't argue that McDonald's is good for you, but the fact that the fries aren't covered in mold isn't a scandal.

I've actually been planning to do this exact thing for a while, I just need to get to the bike shop. Right now, I need to wear gloves to deal with my mower for almost two hours every week. Even with the fingers cut off a pair of old work gloves, my hands get pretty sweaty. This should help.

People have actually used a couple of candles to replace the Wii sensor bar.

Why are you converting your video before uploading it to YouTube?

I think knowing where to find the best coffee in a new city is a skill that would be worth acquiring. Every city's got at least one good coffee shop. When I was in Portland earlier this year, I made it a point to hit up a few good coffee shops. I also went out of my way to drink all the crazy local IPAs that I've…

Well I do own two Aeropresses—one for work and one for home. I actually brought a food thermometer into work to test the temperature of the hot water that comes out of the water cooler (it's 180°), and I know how long I need to microwave the correct amount of water in order to get it to ~205°. I take this stuff fairly…

Lifehack: Buy a second one to keep at work.

"Carry around a portable coffee grinder" may be the worst lifehack ever.

You'll never eliminate stupidity, but you can attempt to minimize accidents. A slightly higher railing won't stop an idiot from climbing it, but it will prevent you from falling over it if some asshole pushes you in a crowd.

Well obviously you shouldn't hang over them, but if the railing were just a bit higher, it could prevent accidents like this probably was, and discourage people from sitting on them.

I think another foot and it would be fine. It's the difference between able to lean over and fall versus having to actually hoist yourself up to be able to get over it. For a 65 foot drop, I don't think a 48" railing would be an unreasonable thing to ask for.

That's a terrifyingly low railing. Whether alcohol was a factor or not shouldn't matter. If someone can easily get their center of gravity over the top, then it's probably too low.

Believe it. here's my own graph from LoseIt (ignore the steep incline at the beginning, it's just looking at a very old weight).

It was leaking from the little slit where the water is supposed to come out of when it's set up. It could have been just mine. For a buck, I wouldn't let my anecdote stop anyone from giving it a shot. Who knows though. My wife probably had the thing for years before we met. It's possible it just got a lot of use and…

I had one of these. No idea where my wife got it, or how much it cost, but it leaked like crazy.

When I was in college, my dorm's bathroom had five stalls and and four or five urinals. Nobody used the urinals. They were these ancient (1940s) things that stuck out from the wall, almost like a regular toilet, except higher and with no seat, with no barriers between them, and they were all right next to the door. It…

This is the kind of thing that a good tuneup once a year (or every other year) will take care of. I learned the same lesson long ago. My bike is 10 years old, but it still rides great thanks to the occasional tuneup. For ~$130 I got a tuneup including new cables, a new bottom bracket. My shifters were always really…

I highly recommend The American Way of Death Revisited, by Jessica Mitford. Of all the books I had to read in college many years ago, this is the one that stuck with me. It takes a serious look at the funeral industry and it's actually a very funny book.

UNACCEPTABLE!
