“They’re the best friends I’ve ever had. Nobody in my life has ever stood by me more.”

Structural engineer here. The fact that this is the largest of the 3 (apparent) braces running across the short axis of the car to stiffen the frame rails tells me it has the most load on it (yes real engineering-ish). I’m having a hard time orienting the pictures with each other but regardless: corners are always the…

Edith Windsor, an activist whose landmark Supreme Court case is largely responsible for dismantling 1996's Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) and making gay marriage legal in America, died on Tuesday at the age of 88.

Coming from the guy trying to troll these comment sections and keeps recommending his own comments right after publishing to make it look like someone agreed with him.

Ice cream commercials should be like this ^...........not creepy.

I think that’s true. Plus, I can’t imagine Baldwin pursing that line of questions with a male documentarian. That’s one of the reasons I read Jez: as on old white man, it helps me see some issues in a different light.

Yeah, I don’t know what the fuck is up with you guys in the US.. for every step forward in one thing, someone’s taking two or more back somewhere else.. I was taught through the mid-to-late ‘80's here in Canada about proper sex-ed and condom use, in public school. They brought in a nurse in grades 7 and 8 for an hour…

Good article, I thought this was going to be nonsense (most online legal advice is) but it was actually pretty good info. As for Miranda 2 things: 1) not everyone needs to be mirandized (lot of people aren’t because we simply don’t need to ask anymore questions) 2) public safety exception, the classic example is if…

I used a trackball for years, but I don’t like the Logitech design with the ball operated by the thumb. I used a Microsoft trackball (yes, they made one!) where the ball was on top and the buttons on the right side, one above the other, operated by the thumb. Took all of five minutes to clear the learning curve and…

Saw this on twitter and it made me laugh.

Just make sure the fish turner is in an easy to find place so that any visiting friends or in-laws can be sure to use it on your non-stick.

I’m Rob Lee and I haven’t left the church. Y’all haven’t gotten rid of me yet.

Well our president is actually less qualified than she is, by a lot, so why the hell not?

To cover their asses over a potential unwarranted high speed chase; blame the victim, not themselves.

Boy, one thing that is just shocking is I never pictured the military repeatedly and openly questioning their commander and chief like this. The military is famous for keeping their collective mouths shut, at least publicly, and just following their orders. Not this time though. They are showing open contempt and it’s…

Longform:

My parents packed my older sister and me to the library every weekend so we could save money on heat and AC throughout the year. I went through a lot of the books in the library, and after a while I tended to prefer to read the “new” books—the ones with the sharp creases and paper smell—and timed it down to…

Aw man, I thought that was cake, the prettiest cake I’d ever seen. I’d totally eat that soap btw.

Nothing to contribute, but your soap totally made me want an ice cream sandwich. It’s very pretty and I love bergamot!

“10-year-old: Isn’t that enough?”

Or just stop caring what random people think of you, especially since you likely won’t ever talk to/see them again.
