Not buying it.

I think it's fine in general. Anti-theft tech is a good thing.

Kind of a waste of two full paper towels... unless you don't pack a napkin, I guess.

I loaded it, it showed me ten or so results (I didn't count) and then I left the house to take the kids to school and run an errand. I came back nearly 90 minutes later. The page hadn't changed at all. Not a single thing added. And I haven't been Liking things all willy-nilly over the years - my total list is not…

Yeah, or people that genuinely enjoy chatting with each other and being social. Saying that the only people who use it are narcissists is as accurate as saying that everyone who doesn't use it is a smug, self-righteous prick. While you do make a case for that quite well, it's not an attribute that everyone shares.

If you're with someone who is willing to drug and rape you, probably best not to advertise that you're testing your drink. Best case scenario, he cuts and runs (which, good for you, not good for his next target), worst case scenario, he gets pissed off and decides he doesn't need drugs because he'll just kill you in…

Quality headphones - can't agree more. I have a great pair of Shure headphones that blow my Apple ear buds out of the water. But they come at a price - there's no kind way to say this... you kind of look like a d-bag wearing giant headphones just walking around. I know one man's fashion is another man's gauche, but…

Remember too, that if you're tying up something a little more delicate than a roast, the dental floss may cut. If you're tying up any kind of rolled or stuffed poultry, be gentle.

Funny you should mention that. I have a blackened outlet in my living room that I'm not replacing because it's a reminder that you can't leave kids around outlets - even when something is plugged into it. About a year ago my then-four-year-old noticed that a plug wasn't pushed in all the way, leaving the two prongs…

Logic doesn't matter as much as the "ew" factor. It's pretty gross, thinking about gnawing on a corn cob and then using it to cook with after - especially if other people are involved on one end of the process or the other. Sure, logically, it's probably safe, but still... ew.

True, true. And I picked up on that after I got into the article. I should have made myself more clear, that was just my reaction immediately after reading the headline and looking at the graph :)

I created a spreadsheet that projects finances for the bank accounts and the credit cards. This goes way beyond simple "budgeting", which I find to be completely useless - for us, anyway. Doing it this way allows me to see how much money we have and how much money we will have over the next six months to a year,…

"This chart shows the cars most likely to be stolen... huh, this should be interesting. Surely nobody wants my boring Honda Accor—oh, shit." <- exactly what went though my mind just now.

And not just for the person ordering - presumably, you'd place the order for everyone you're with and just pay the $5 once. If you're ordering half a dozen $11 beers, all of a sudden $5 so that two or three of you don't have to go to the stand to lug those beers back doesn't sound so bad.

I know it's technically correct, but "turn of the century" still means 1900 to me lol

Don't get me wrong - I'm certainly not advocating for irresponsible use. And I've gotten behind on payments myself. But these are tools that, when used properly, are incredibly powerful. I just hate seeing an article like this and then coming to the comments and - in this case specifically - the first five comments…

Can we skip the part where holier-than-thou types post about how all credit cards are evil and only suckers would—oh, too late.

Not bad. Not something I'd do except in a garage or a little-used closet, because I'm not a big fan of PVC aesthetically. But a good idea, for sure. And if you wanted to upgrade, I guess you could do the same thing with a wooden rod.

I was only half kidding ;)

Piracy directly led to a sale for the company. The system works.
