I generally like Rob’s take, but I have an entirely different reading of Jon’s ultimate fate. He doesn’t abandon the Night’s Watch. He’s too honest and noble to do that. He’s dressed in the all black uniform of the Watch, in clear contrast with Tormund and the rest of the free folk they are leading. The…

The carriers are quite nice and practical though. The main thing that sold me on buying one was the full, padded back. I was standing in line at Target one day behind a woman wearing a carrier that had crisscrossing straps I could see digging into her shoulders and back. That made up my mind that I wanted a carrier…

I wear my grey Misssion Critical carrier nearly every time I get my daughter out of the car someplace that isn’t home or daycare. Love that thing. I’ve got the insulated bottle pouch and the smaller expandable dump bag attached to the front MOLLE webbing. It’s a hell of a lot more comfortable than lugging the carseat…

This article speaks directly to every MG owner in America, myself included. I doubt you could find a single one of us who doesn’t have a dog-eared, oily fingerprint stained Haynes guide laying about.

“Bugger” is generally used as a verb, not a noun like “faggot.” And it is far, far milder, not usually suitable for business lunch but nowhere near a slur. Bugger literally means to engage in anal sex (the noun for the act is buggery), but it is more often used in a non literal, idiomatic sense. Instances of buggering…

Yay for CityMapper! I cannot recommend that app enough for navigating London. While the Tube may be managable for mere human intellect, making effective use of the buses is impossible for a tourist without the help of CityMapper. And even for those who can navigate the Tube pretty well unaided, the estimated travel…

Here’s a cheap way to score 2-for-1 admission to many tourist attractions.

Actually, the revenue from selling broadcast rights outside the UK for its biggest properties is what pays for a huge chunk of BBC content, rather than the license fee. North American viewers watching BBC shows on BBC America are subsidising UK viewers, not the other way around.

Murphy’s Oil Soap, the stuff you use on stained wood furniture, is a wonderful leather upholstery cleaner and is a bit milder than saddle soap (which as others have mentioned can dry and crack leather upholstery if you aren’t careful).

If she’s in the market for a Q5 or MDX, why not look at a Subaru Forester? My wife and I test drove all three, and now we both drive Forester XTs.

Repetitive commentary is a punishment for the author’s oversight of failing to point out the glaringly obvious parallels with In the Flesh.

Nope, more like they took the entire premise of the BBC series In the Flesh and made a movie out of that.

How the hell did someone manage to do a write-up on The Cured while failing to mention In the Flesh at all, even in passing?

The fact that Best Buy apologized indicates nothing more than that they’ve got a PR team that isn’t entirely brain dead.

Think they might’ve apologized because the internet pitchfork mob, directed by lazy journalists, was clamouring at their gates?

You are ignoring the incentive to bring additional water and other supplies to Houston BEFORE the storm arrives which would exist if not for the price controls.

You’re overlooking an important aspect of price-controls, which a few others before me have pointed out: They also discourage the pre-positioning of the resources ahead of the anticipated demand shock.

“It’s incredible that anyone could ask whether selling $100 cases of water is actually good in the middle of this disaster like this, but here we are.”

Given the history of well-intended “compassion” causing disastrous misallocation of resources that harms huge numbers of people, one might consider that the counterintuitive but economically literate course of action is actually more beneficial to the people you wish to help.

I’d wager that “No One Seems to Know Why Audi Shipped Thousands of Cars with the Same VIN” precisely because Audi didn’t actually ship thousands of cars with the same VIN. Presumably, manufacturers also use VINs for all sorts of internal controls (why assign an internal use only serial number to your products when…
