For most people being fat isn’t controllable either, other than with surgery. It turns out that evolution trained our bodies to relentlessly conserve body mass in any way possible. There was a study done on “Biggest Loser” contestants that found that their metabolisms were permanently reduced by the starvation diets…

I love my RAVpower 61W. I just wish someone would make a smaller multiport like this: https://amzn.to/2nJCZa3. I carry both chargers when i travel and still save a bunch of space compared to a normal laptop charger plus phone chargers, but now that everything is wireless, i need dem ports!

Tolls for every road!

What state do you live in that you think the state spends less on roads than it collects in gas taxes?

2nd Gear: The logical plan is to switch to a “distance x weight” formula of registration fees. This should get people paying for (very roughly) the amount of road that they use. Out of state travel will be a bit of a challenge to deal with, but it shouldn’t be too bad.

Exactly! The Flyers ALWAYS sold out, and even with this prolonged run of mediocrity and 43 years without a Cup, they still draw well. It’s almost impossible to turn off their fan base. Because of the vagaries of hockey and hockey culture, I think they attract fewer casual fans, so they won’t expand much beyond their…

Dude, I spent my formative years (after 1983, not counting 1993) watching shitty baseball at the shittiest concrete doughnut in the country. You don’t have to tell me. And you are right about Harold Katz, but I was also alive for the team that lost in the Finals 4 times between 1977 and 1983 before winning it all in…

I would argue you’re wrong. The Sixers have a much smaller core of dedicated fans than either the Phillies or Flyers. I like all 4, so you assume wrong. The Flyers have a very dedicated core but very few casual fans. The Sixers have only generated buzz as The Process began to yield encouraging results. I grew up on…

People vastly overestimate how much this market cares about the sixers.

I like how American gas pumps insist on asking for a zip code, just to annoy anyone from another country.

American Express Blue Cash Proffered. 6% back at grocery stores, and 3% back on gas. 1% everything else (besides a couple small things that are also 6% and 3%). There is a $95 fee but that gets made back pretty quickly.

“Wawa does not have Top Tier fuel.”

Oh, he got fleshed out.

Elba is such a kick ass idea for a villain. I am excited for this movie as a whole, but his being the lead antagonist only adds to the excitement.

I’m holding out hope that Lucas Black comes back to reprise his role as Sean, coming back to honor Han. Hopefully that includes kicking Deckard’s ass a bit, likely more…

Bruins, especially Chara, definItely committed the most non-called penalties in fucking NHL playoff history. Sit the fuck down or go cry somewhere else.

I feel like the fire is a stupid place to go.

Are you Nostradamus?

This tip doesn’t work for budget travelers, esp. since there is a very big chance you’ll overpay or purchase something you may not want to ultimately keep, out of desperation. Also - for anyone who has trouble finding clothes that fit well, if at all, this is not always a viable option. For example - if you are medium…

I think most plugs that properly fit the outlet work well ( I’ve been traveling internationally for decades and have built up quite a collection of adapters ) the one I posted also the added benefit of accepting the bulky UK plug in back and together they take very little space in my bag.

The days of 110v only power supplies is long gone , seems like pretty much everything I see these days is 110-240v.
