So I have a friend whose job is to find rental properties for people to stay in while their homes are being repaired from fires and tornadoes and such, so people aren't stuck in motels for months or longer.  So in the middle of a seven month rental agreement a landlord saw a renter wearing scrubs, demanded to know why…

Doctors don’t track down patients, even in a single-payer system, unless they’re infective and have bailed out of a treatment program, or it’s imperative that they have follow-up therapy.

might i recommend MTV’s The Paper? High School kids at a giant FL high school...... edit the school newspaper. 

Since you’re into refrigerator pickling, have you also tried lacto-fermenting? I started getting into it last year, and just started doing it again bc LF a great way to preserve fresh food longer (also stored in the fridge once it’s fermented). So I’ve been making kimchi, LF dilly green beans, LF corn salsas lately.

I have no good solutions for you, except on the pickles front. For some reason, quarantine has led me down the rabbit hole of refrigerator pickling every vegetable I can get my hands on-I’ve pickled all the leftover carrots and celery I didn’t use for chicken soup last week, and I even learned how to make half-sour…

Not only that - you can get rich with bar soap, too. After bar soap becomes a thin sliver don’t throw it away. Save it in a tin with other soap scraps to make a new big bar of soap. That’s what “the world’s greatest miser,” Hetty Green did among other acts of frugality. She died a hundred millionaire in 1916, which…

When’s the last time you looked at the old Deadspin “what we got stuck up our rectum” posts?

There are many ways to secure access. That Zoom has failed at this is total incompetence.

Individual unique ID for each participant sync’d to IP is one way as well.

Too bad we can’t give people like this a multi-year ban from the internet. How screwed up in the mind can you be to behave like this?

Rich, I really wish you’d change your lane and just stop reporting on “reality” shows. Meaningless trash-TV such as the Masked Singer / Dr. Pimple Popper is boring and fine. I’m sure other people out there enjoy the escapism.

However, when it comes to the Mama Junes, Duggars, OctoMoms, Gosselins blah blah blah we are…

TBH, the first thing I thought of was the Onion letter some years back about how “this is not going to end well.” From reading your article, I am amazed how well Alana is doing, all things considered. If this needs to exist (and by need, I mean some sadistic producer wants to keep milking this family for entertainment…

This is one of several I look after. He’s a stray feral who loves laundry. Have to beat him to it and throw something he’s destroyed on top.

Try seven cats on one king bed with two very large humans. That includes the 18 year old scoldy black cat, Princess Gabby, Paper Shredder, and Dollop, Percher on the Humans. The rest of the cats don’t necessarily get along, either. No one wants to sleep over on the couch because they’ll get trampled. Multiple times.…

This is what my life looks like, only I have two kids doing that as well, and less politely. 

My boy cat does the bodyslam + mewling to our hallway coat closet roughly once a day - I can’t image what kind of exotic wonderland he thinks is on the other side of that door.

Roughly, if he gave every employee $2000 a month for two months it would cost him about $20 million. That is a drop in the bucket for these out of touch money hoarders. Any billionaire who isn’t supporting their employees through this is a piece of shit.

Do you know that this guy’s net worth is almost three billion dollars...? He wouldn’t have a penny of that without his workers. I think he/the company should have offered some sort of part -wage stipend for a few months at least, and perhaps at least offered health insurance for even the part-time/contractors- which…

We will remember you, any company that tosses employees this carelessly and crazily will never get a dollar of mine.
