This is like a “myth,” I’ve heard where people with back and some joint aches should drink milk, the idea being that they are so lacking in vitamin D that their bone density is suffering.

I’m a bagpiper, and I was in Scotland recently, so obviously I had to bring back some pipe related souvenirs. I grabbed some artwork and a few other odds and ends, but on my last day there, I happened to be by a little bagpipe shop, and decided to pick up a new practice chanter (the thing you practice on, when the…

You joke, but a little Benadryl is all it takes to make the rest of the airplane not hate you. Works in the car too, I suppose.

Format with Calibre then sideload your ebooks and you can use whatever reader you like.

I started to write something sarcastic, but that really wouldn’t be helpful, so all I’m going to say is that if you really wanted workers to make a living wage, with solid benefits like health care, sick leave, maternity leave etc etc, one of the first things you’d do is get rid of the hot mess that is tipping, and…

It’s really really nice that it can be helpful in this type of situation (honestly not trying to be sarcastic there), but the DMCA is a mess. We need real legislation on this, and the DMCA needs to be routed and reworked.

A good solution for taking your storage into your own hands is to set up a reciprocal arrangement with a friend. A buddy of mine and I each have a drive set up for one another that we can access remotely.

It is a health risk to your computer though. Laps/pants aren’t designed for solid airflow, and the cloth that has been on the front of your body all day has plenty of particulate matter in it to coat cooling elements.

I’m probably a massive jerk for this, but if there is a tip box already checked for me, I’m always tipping less than that, I don’t care if it’s five percent.

Dammit. Guess the murder spree is on hold for now . . .

It’s depressing how surprised I am to see a rich and famous predator being held accountable. This should not be surprising.

I feel like even if we give the cop the benefit of the doubt and assume he isn’t an aggressive racist who attacked a kid for skateboarding, he’s still incompetent.

Weight issues, infidelity, and body shaming aside, that is some weirdly well produced porn. I’ve sat through a lot of big budget movies with worse cinematography.

There’s also the benefit of not having to deal with streaming services if you don’t have access to an unlimited internet program. In the states, most of us take it for granted, but it’s by no means universal. That’s a pretty specific instance though.

Yeah, I have an absolute favorite movie I rewatch a few times a year. I used to rent it, but ended up just buying it from Amazon or Google, I can’t remember which, so that I can just redownload it.

Yeah, there was a copyright issue with 1984 and Animal Farm of all books. Basically, someone used their self-service publisher to upload the books, even though they didn’t own the rights to them. Amazon deleted them, and gave everyone refunds. As I understand it, their system has changed so that they can no longer do…

Yeah, her armchair diagnosis of depression makes me doubt she’s been all that understanding about this. Foisting a mental illness on a significan’t other just because you don’t like their habits is a little condescending.

Agreed. I know I wouldn’t be able to make myself walk away six months into my marriage, but it doesn’t seem like he sees it the same way she does.

Worse in a year, not worse in a decade.

Whatever you say . . .
