I feel like this chart is skipping the critical element of breed. I have a newfoundland who regularly looks at me like I’m a jerk and refuses to come in when it’s well below freezing. I’ve had to literally bring him in by his collar when it was below zero and I was ready for bed. The gigantic coat is for more than…

Almost had my UK marriage visa declined for something like this. I’d actually heard about the three month thing, but for that specific visa, they wanted a six month window, I had a four month window. Ultimately, it just meant I couldn’t do the typical process, and ended up with me being shuffled into this “manual…

Mostly, how to avoid anyone with homemade slime.

Those are the top ten things people want to learn how to do . . . we’re all doomed . . .

True, but it would only be “asking for trouble,” if there were something you didn’t want them to see/have access to. If there weren’t anything like that, then there’d be no trouble to ask for.

Because, people who have nothing to hide hide nothing.

I’m in a town near Denver. There are lots of markets there that sell them there, but the closest one I’ve found to me so far is about thirty minutes away, in an area I have no other reason to visit.

I’m going to choose to believe I had something to do with that, despite the overwhelming likelihood I didn’t. I can improve my day through the power of denial!

The most common time I can’t seem to help but interrupt is when someone is starting down the path of a large argument based on something we aren’t even sort of in agreement about.

Hmm . . . I didn’t go the full milk and spoon route, but you can bet they weren’t thrown out. Definitely beats popcorn for movie night.

I feel like that is literally their job at Lifehacker.

That seems like overkill until you’ve known the pain of opening your box of Jammie Dodgers (they refuse to sell them locally) only to find pack after pack of cereal sized crumbles. . .

I’ve actually heard carpenters make the claim that a wood handled hammer is less jarring to use after it’s been worn in a little, for what one would assume is a similar reason to the instruments. I find it hard to believe, but then again, I’ve never swung a hammer enough times in a row to “break one in.”

Thin layers of wood, like the soundboard (top) of a violin/cello/guitar/or the reeds in a lot of instruments, sort of “break in,” for lack of a better phrase. It’s quick and really obvious with the reeds, slower and less obvious with the soundboards, but still clearly there.

I know this isn’t at all what you mean, but instruments sound much better over time; particularly wooden ones. They don’t do anything new, but what they do, they do much much better.

I don’t know that you need to use the word “vasectomy,” in your post, but I think it’s only fair to make sure the other person knows what they’re getting into by saying that you don’t want kids and don’t plan on having any.

I know it’s a really specific objection, that doesn’t apply to most people, but my field is 95% female, and despite my best efforts, I keep getting older.

“No thanks.”

Can’t stand Dunham, but polygraphs are junk science. People just need to quit including that in this story because it might as well say “the police then read her tarot cards to determine she was being truthful.”

The system my fiance and I use for this is basically “is there some major flaw in my outfit I’m not seeing.”
