Not really a hack, but on the NYC subway, the faster you swipe your MetroCard the more likely it is to ask you to swipe again. I notice this whenever I find myself in a touristy area, there is a line of tourists who just seem to have difficulty swiping. 9 times out of 10 they’re doing it too fast. Getting this right…

Clearly Brady sees Kraft as his father-figure. 

Not from New England but I agree. Polar has the right balance of price, bubble amount/size and taste.

Do the Australian commentators always mention that he used to play basketball?

Elon tried but couldn’t appear cooler than a 78-year-old.

Ironic because it was actually after Bin Laden that we started to say “never forget”. 

Not quite the same thing, but any recommendations on kid-level explanations of special effects/CGI? My kids are having a hard time wrapping their heads around special effects in some movies and YouTube videos, and I have a habit of either over-explaining or over-dumbing down.

Am I the only one that thinks something looked off about Putin and maybe this was a body double?

Dumb question, in the photo, is that Taylor Swift or the Fox News lady whose name I forgot?

Will this movie get a global release?

I think they’d honor the Klan before the Wu Tang Clan on Staten Island.

I look forward to future Newsweek titles:

Conspiracy theory: There was no loop in the Cannonball loop, it’s actually just connected at the bottom and you’re switching from one pipe to the other. You’re still going fast as hell because of the steep drop, but the loop itself isn’t functional. People are just keeping the legend alive.

Thanks for your clarification. Maybe I’m a bit dense but, just to try to get this a bit more, is the uncontested win different from “giving up”? Maybe I just have to play this type of game to get this more (I’m more of a fighting game kinda guy).

Not sure I get this fully (I don’t play Overwatch), but is there an advantage to the team giving up? Is there a disadvantage to the team that wins because they beat an opponent that gave up?

Man this is tough to read. I really want the GMG team to be successful. I’ve been an avid reader for years, and while there are a lot of things to criticize I still read Deadspin, Jalopnik and Lifehacker religiously. They’re not perfect at their job but the first two are not as bro-y as the competition, while…

This might actually be reverse-racism

I’m sure he’s helped plenty of people find God. More than most at least.

This is perhaps off-topic. I consider myself fairly conservative when it comes to this sort of thing, I don’t think because of spiritual/religious belief but moreso perhaps from lack of experience in this regard. How do you know this is something you want? I mean it’s pretty objectively cool, and yeah I’ve seen porn…

Am I misunderstanding something or is this just showing the “Last Seen” data but doing it over a period of time? It’s not like if it’s showing friends’ actual conversations?
