I’m actually a bit bummed to hear about this.

I have been around the Gawker pages for something like forever, and I am in the black on Jez, Kotaku, Jalopnik and Gizmodo. It only came around because I’ve tried hard to be nice and supply good comments (not all were nice, TBH - I was there for the 500 Days of Kristin after all). I was ungrayed (followed) by editors…

Oh, faboo. I missed these updates. Thank you!

We didn’t have AC when I was a kid, so I would get a big bowl and throw a few cups of ice cubes in it at bedtime, and throw in a washcloth. The ice melts pretty quick but you get a bowl with a shallow amount of cold water in it and you can dip it and wring it out and throw it over your chest and get the coolness that…

I’m sorry it’s getting especially tough right now. Try to be nice to yourself when it gets hopeless-looking. You worry me a bit when you talk about the housing issues. Golly, do anything you can to stay housed. There was a time in my life (4 months or so?) when I had to sleep rough and it made everything tougher.…

My city’s “green energy” rep gave swamp coolers a hard time, saying that heat pumps were better. And fine, yes, they can do more (like heat AND cool) but they are so less energy efficient than my swamp cooler, which can hold the temp in my house at 20 degrees below ambient outdoor by simply running an electric fan. It…

Edgewater!

My hearing is so bad that I’d never be able to tell. Lossless streaming means nothing to me.

Forgive the twice post, but this question is very timely. I’m doing the drive from Denver to past Green Bay on July 1... and then back a week later.

At the start of every road trip, I fill up with gas and swing over to McDonalds’s, where I order eight sausage mcmuffins with no egg. I have 2 or 3 of them about every 300 miles, or try and keep a loose schedule of one sandwich every 100-125 miles. I augment that with beef jerky through the day, and water as needed.…

You know, this kind of thing ... this thievery and malfeasance ... is such a huge problem for organized labor.

Boebert is more intelligent than Gohmert, I think. She’s from my state but doesn’t represent my district. I don’t think she’s smarter than Louie, though. Louie actually represents his district, whereas Lauren represents The Orange One.

I think it might be best to just reverse the polarity of the neutron flow. I understand that it works in most cases like this.

Yes, this. A thousand times, this!

This is why I check twice, on each car -- so that’s four times, I guess.

For me it was pizza from the office cafeteria. Hit me in about five or six hours, lasted for a bit less than 3 weeks. Could not eat pizza for about three years after that. The smell of pizza would linger in my nose and seem to stick to my clothes if I got too close to a pizzeria during those years. All the same,…

Correction. I guess they do in Russia, where it’s a professional sport.

It wasn’t an especially hard slap, so I think it was an expression of teasing affection, as if to say “You incorrigible scamp!” I don’t think men slap each other, do they?

The design is crappy. It was the worst car my dad ever owned. His was green, just like this one:
