Try filtering it AND adjusting the pH - acidic water doesn't taste great, and you may have it, depending where you are (drier regions, it's more likely; if you're a New Englander, nah, skip the rest of the post). You can buy pH test strips at any home supply store like Lowe's or Home Depot, or order them on Amazon. …

I should also take this opportunity to say, to the assholes who are so fond of telling women, "We're not mind-readers! If you don't like something a guy is doing, it's up to you to tell him!": Dudes, if it's obvious to an entire group of blind-drunk women that a stranger is uncomfortable, then it should be obvious…

Bachelorette parties will forever have a special place in my heart. The first time I ever went to a real club (alone and with a male friend), this guy kept creeping over and grinding on me, uninvited. I wasn't yet the elbow-throwing feminist menace I am today, so I didn't know what to do other than sort of awkwardly…

as a Price is Right enthusiast, I’ve often wondered what would happen if a thing like this happened.

I love this. My daughter loves the color pink but she also loves vehicles, dinosaurs, and science. I usually just buy her clothes from the “boys” section and honestly I think gendering clothes for little kids is dumb, but I’m all for campaigns like this for girls.

As a criminal defense lawyer in the US, I’m fascinated (and terrified) by the notion of being able to appeal a Not Guilty verdict.

I have done that. “Sorry, I’m just super shitty at these tasks. Whoopsie!”

The next time they ask you to cut the cake, you should totally cut it up all weird so that some people get a thin sliver and others get a hunk that hangs over the Chinet plate.

Correction: the attorney general is Maura Healey. She replaced Martha Coakley. Yes, the same one that lost to both Scott Brown and Charlie Baker. Healey is a considerable step up from Coakley.

PREACH.

I am salaried, I don't get overtime. but even if I worked 24 hours a day I would still be making more than minimum wage. I imagine most salaried workers are in the same situation so that argument would be some elitist bullshit.

As a former HS teacher, I feel you about the randomness of teachable moments with teens.

This reminded me of when I was in 6th grade and overheard a conversation between two of my very macho guy friends. They were going on and on about the "hot chick" in the music group Hanson. To be fair, Taylor was a very pretty boy. I could have corrected them, but I was enjoying the moment too much.

And yet here you are, Judgement Central, and you seem to have caught the express. 'This girl definitely deserves some jail time' is patronising bullshit - she's 33, not a girl.

I'm investing my life savings in LL Bean and Timberland.

Not to make light of this but does it seem like prosecutors were watching Monty Python to come up with ways to prove the validity of the fetus?

1) I used to work at a place where we had one regular who would order his toast completely burned through, like charcoal. He'd specify that he wanted it "so burned it is probably a carcinogen"

Exactly, because everyone knows that I go around to people's homes asking if they "have a moment to talk about the teachings of Laverne Cox."

I kind of wish they said they were trying to corner the lesbian market with it tbh
