I first learned this tip from the geniuses at America's Test Kitchen. I'm not saying they invented it, but when you do a web search on "vodka pie crust," they are almost all of the hits, so maybe they invented it. Credit where credit is due.

Har de har. Those stupid Nigerians. How dumb are they!

I'd like to call out the way in which this headline and article contributes to the propagation of sexist ideas about masculinity. The definition of "masculine" is, "possessing qualities or characteristics considered typical of or appropriate to a man." If you think about it, things that happen to men ought to be, by

I think they're talking about Google's autocorrect—that is, the one it applies when you do web searches—not autocorrect on a mobile phone's keyboard.

Given how few people actually understand the definition of an assault rifle, I'm thrilled with this comment thread. I don't care whether the rifle was truly an AR or not; that you folks are aware of the distinction and have gotten the definition right makes my day.

Spotify has been up for way longer than two months. It's only been available in the US for two months, but Gizmodo no doubt has international users who might resent the implicit US-ian focus of the statement.

As long as we're nitpicking, you capitalize the U in "University" when referring to a specific school. Just like you capitalize the J in "Steve Jobs," but not in, "The government released the jobs report today."

It's presumptuous to assume that we know what he would have wanted. Unless, of course, you knew him when he was alive, in which case I apologize.

If you drink Emergen-C for electrolytes, you can get so much ascorbic acid that your gums bleed. Ask me how I know. Stick to electrolyte replacements that don't have any ascorbic acid.

Urinating on the playa is a violation of LNT. If the BLM catches you urinating on the playa, they will ticket you.

You've hit on the exact issue: geographic size and density. My impression is that carriers are so invested in their infrastructure that they feel they need to lock customers into their network with phone exclusives. Even with GSM networks in the US (AT&T and T-Mobile), it is often the case that phones are sold

Bread may go hard faster in the fridge, but it absolutely doesn't remain edible longer—at least, not at my house. In the summer, with relative humidity in the range of 80-90% and indoor temps in the 80's, bread goes moldy on my counter in about two days. In the fridge, it stays edible for a week or longer.

Yes, this.

This is not because it's organic, but because it's UHT processed. You don't actually have to refrigerate UHT milk before you open it; you can store it on the shelf.

What's all this electronic gizzywizzy? My pressure cooker/canner has a weight that you put on the exhaust tube. The weight has three graduated depressions in it, calibrated to 5, 10, and 15 lbs of pressure. If I want 15 lbs, I just put the weight on at the 15 lb depression. I'm of the understanding that dial-type

I think they're just screaming in horror, not because they are in any danger themselves.

This "New York" place sounds like it's pretty great. I want to live there so I too can partake of the New Yorker's app! One question: can I bring my chickens, pigs, sheep, bees, and garden with me?

I worked in a roller skating rink as a teen. Years later, I got a black belt in jiu-jitsu. All of which is to say that I know a thing or two about people falling on the ground. Presumably, these skateboarders are experts in their field, but I can't figure out why, when they fall backwards, every single one of them

Who walks around on the street at the beach with a handgun on his belt unloaded?
