We have used wool balls for at least a year now, and they’re great. We, too, upgraded from the plastic spiky balls. Plus you can put a couple of drops of essential oil on these bad boys and it will make your clothes smell all essential-oil-y. Citrus FTW.

YASSSS. A hilly, curvy road in the middle of nowhere is perfect for a nice car with a responsive manual transmission. That being said, I deal with Austin traffic, so it’s just not worth it. My wife and I do agree, however, that if we ever buy a “fun” car, it will definitely be a stick.

Part of my trip might have…

My boss usually goes on cruises for her vacations. She says, “I will check email once or twice a day, so don’t expect an immediate response. Cell reception is spotty, but here’s a number you can call if you absolutely need to reach me. It better be really worth it, however, as it costs XX per minute”.

Business trip, and my boss (who has already done this trip) said, “Automatics are only a few more bucks than standards, so make sure you get one.” And my company does business with both Hertz and Enterprise/National, so I am not worried. :-)

I think you spoke for all of us, there. “What’s this impression crap, AMC?”

When I glanced at the title of the article, I quickly read “Hatfishing” as “Hatfisting”.

I had so many questions...

Yeah, I have already done a lot of research on road rules and such. And I definitely want to learn some Dutch for the road signs (although I know a little German and can kind of work it out).
Fortunately I am not planning on going as far as Amsterdam. But I will be driving out of Brussels and into Turnhout &…

The ones I work with are definitely laid back and cool. They’re all from the Dutch area (Turnhout, to be specific). Not sure if that makes a difference, but I do think they are pretty chill.

We tried hard-boiling eggs via sous vide last week. Because, hey, sous vide all the things!

Well put! I have a business trip to Belgium and the Netherlands coming up. I have never been off the North American continent in my almost-47 years on the planet. I already told my hosts to expect that I will most likely fuck up at least one custom while I am there, and to please forgive me in advance, because,…

I’ve always called them “snotrags” for a damn good reason...

I begin drying off in the shower (head, arms, torso) and then step out onto the bath mat to finish the job (legs and naughty bits). This includes fending off my alien cats, who are absolutely fascinated with water and have to twine around my legs and all that.

It’s this sort of transience in cloud services that makes me wary of hitching my wagon to any kind of backup service. Heck, even Google keeps sunsetting the services I love.

“The rootless transnational elite knows that a tidal wave of white identity is coming.”

I’m sorry, the what whats that the what is what?

I’m in Central Texas, so was not in the path of totality, and initially was going to ignore it altogether. But they had the NASA or CNN or whatever feed on the TV in our cafeteria during lunch, so I got to watch it being filmed from Oregon, before, during and after totality.

I’m starting to think they’re going through these old ads and using them as checklists.

I’m with you, redzed. Sláinte Mhath!

Just the thing to wash down that Khlav Kalash

I really tried to keep it vaguely PG-rated. Something that goes against every fiber of my being, BTW, but I figured I’d give it a shot.

Agree. But I also agree with the fact that tartare is incredible. Especially with a raw egg and a cornichon, chopped up into itty bitty bits.
