I will never understand why people expect a fish that can be caught in the Atlantic and Caribbean to not have a common name different from the Hawaiian common name that was only popularized as a loan word in the past few decades. As for why dolphinfish, and why we shorten it to dolphin... Presciently messing with

I think most Floridians just call it dolphin on a regular basis, but most Floridians also pay attention to context clues. It's too crazy down here to survive long if you don't.

I thought octopus tentacles, but this works too.

Mahi mahi (see it all the time as just mahi) is dolphin, while ahi refers to certain types of tuna (Hawaiian common names). Mahi/ahi is a pretty easy point of confusion.

Wait a sec... Isn't the whole point of the wrap that you can stuff in more of the good stuff than you otherwise could in a sandwich without making the meal too unwieldy? Isn't the whole point that you get more calories? Have I been doing it wrong all this time?

Theory: this Dvorak person (this is assuming she is, in fact, human) is simply preparing the business community for the next big thing in management: the Naked Office.

Awesome, well researched reporting. Love it. And so long I can’t find the quote I’m looking for, but that’s not a bad thing.

Beer through a straw? Nope. Wine from a dinosaur sippy-cup with built in straw? All day, every day.

Winner.

Something about John Wall makes him exponentially more attractive for me the... sharper (?) he looks. Well-trimmed hair and uniform, hot, but John Wall with cuff links blows away the competition. I don't really get it, but that's how it is.

Hmm... I almost never watch the anime for a manga I have read/am reading (the pacing never works quite the same, for whatever reason) which means Kangoku Gakuen, Jitsu wa Watashi, and Gate (also feel like the manga lost its pace a bit as well, so doubly meh) are out (exception is being made for Gangsta).

Okay, two months late, but does this mean I should pick the Soma anime back up? I dropped after one episode because I thought they majorly dropped the ball on the absurd reaction shots vs. the manga (too short to be snappy, not long enough for absurdity, which just left them kinda porny). Does it significantly improve?

The Internet. The Internet is what you missed.

If by “abomination” you mean “gift from the heavens”, I will, thank you very much. Why settle for small speared pieces of fruit with your drink when you can get an entire mini pizza and a sandwich? Sheer genius.

I believe that 3) is already covered by 1)

Easy mode cooking: things put on top of rice. Helps when there’s not much in the budget for food. When I think about the fact that a takeout meal after taxes, fees, and tip can be 7-10% of the monthly food budget, it helps encourage cooking.

PEAS??? YOUR HEATHEN TASTEBUDS SHALL BE SCOURGED BY THE LASH AND HOT IRON, THEN BURNT AT THE MEDIUM RARE STAKE!!

You know what one of the best ways to get someone to do something is? Tell them it’s forbidden. I think the comments back me up. Luckily “enough body hair to successfully impersonate a very large otter” already disqualifies me from having a classic bikini body, I think.

This comment is so ambiguous...

Red velvet Oreos: meh.
