As a white male, I’m not allowed to engage in a conversation about abuse of the patriarchy; my opinion is generally regarded as irrelevant, and part of me agrees. So all your judgements about how you “just know” he’s an abuser will go unchallenged from me; I’ll allow someone else address those assumptions of yours.

I’ve not watched the trial, but neither do I get my news from social media. What little I know comes from “reputable” news sources (if that exists anymore) that at least try to perform some fact checking... and I do my best to give equal time to biased sites across the political spectrum so I at least have a chance of…

yeah, if only “her” version matched “her” version.  how many times has she contradicted her own testimony?   I lost count.   Who was it that said: when you tell the truth, you don’t have to remember anything!

Also: fixing squealing belts under your car’s hood.   Granted it’s a stopgap measure and you should plan to replace those belts once it starts happening but it’ll buy you a little time and keep people from staring at you at stoplights.

Nick, I can give you a firsthand example of why that won’t always work. Police had a reason to knock on my door that I had no power to prevent; they found a dead infant a few streets over in the bushes.

Disagree about your assumptions, CaninesAndCoffee. Take my job: For discretion’s sake I’ll just say I earn well over 6 figures as a pharmacist making chemotherapy. Can’t do that from home. Neither can the nurses that give it.

After the deal was said and done with my most recent car purchase in 2012, when they were “bringing the car around after the final inspection” I instructed them to remove not just their license plate frame but also the dealer identification they glued on the back near the car model name.  I got 1/2 a dirty look from…

While I have to agree that this article is finding its target audience in me, it makes me ashamed for my own demographic. I feel like turning down a deal on otherwise expensive stuff solely because there might theoretically be a safety issue is definitely the territory of the privileged. Many (most?) do not have that…

I take my hat off to your recognition of the “original” daiquiri - indeed, done correctly it’s very hard to beat. 1 part 2:1 simple syrup, 1 part fresh squeezed lime juice, 2 parts white rum. Shake like hell with the ice you used to chill your cocktail glass while you assembled ingredients and strain back into the…

When I finally decided I was done filling the landfill with kcups, I stowed our working Keurig in the basement (just in case the family’s revolt was more intense than I hoped) and replaced it on the counter with a burr grinder. My typical setup that I do most mornings is rest a metal strainer over my large pyrex…

Fair enough, thanks for the reply. The breach didn’t concern me and I’d rather pay money for a service I use than the alternative cost for “free” versions.

seriously! I love John Oliver but sometimes wish he could lighten up a little bit on the topics. I don’t watch him as much as I would otherwise because I don’t want to learn about yet another cesspool corner of our society.

As soon as my dependent children are out of the house and I don’t feel like I need to be available 24/7 for them and their safety, I’ll definitely be turning those text notifications off. (My wife already has, which only increases my sense of duty to be available, which has paid off several times over the years, showin…

Curious: I’ve persistently seen LastPass at the top of password manager lists.  Has it fallen from grace or did you just want to pick two other ones for variety’s sake?   (Asking because I’m a premium LastPass user and want to know if there’s something I don’t know?)

my wife has a “spotty” shellfish allergy, and we’ve started to notice that she reacts to what’s pulled out of the Atlantic & Gulf more while she doesn’t have a problem with what’s from the Pacific.

A driver’s license is no longer the milestone that previous generations considered it to be. My 16 year old has yet to develop interest (though my currently 18 year old got hers the minute she turned 16) and I will not force her to do something as dangerous as drive a car if she doesn’t feel ready. It’s a different,…

Which state’s dmv allows APPOINTMENTS?!?! Sign me up! I don’t think you realize how lucky you are (or did you have the option for an appointment because of the disability?)

Hey, don’t knock the cb radio. It was circa 1992 and lots of my high school buddies had one, and we played “hide and seek” in our cars, using the strength of the signal as a homing beacon to find each other.  Good times.

As a former K&N enthusiast, I was sorely disappointed at the results shown by the youtube channel ProjectFarm for their reusable air filters. :(    Won’t buy any more.

same.  hard to beat two buck chuck!  lol
