Correction. American companies are not willing to pay people enough to afford American-made goods, nor are they willing to accept the smaller profit margins. We bought American for a few centuries before everyone started outsourcing to increase profits.

You don’t have to say dickhead when you say pro-Putin. It’s like saying ATM machine. 

Open your dishwasher, take the bottom rack out and with a flashlight, look at the screen over the drain. Anything half the size or larger than that mesh (which may be quite small depending on the brand/model) is going to build up over time and impede the drain, if not block it and starve the pump. Grease buildup can…

The entire trend of videos that are “fuck with your pet by doing X” needs to die. Some of the things are harmless but all of them encourage the attitude that pets are entertainment instead of responsibility.

“Can’t you take a joke, maaaan?”

I’m with planehugger on this; saying that a broad group of people should be ashamed of their bodies and seek surgical care to “correct” it is fucking disgusting. It wouldn’t be any different than me going on Jezebel and saying, “Fat chicks are gross, they should all just get liposuction! lolz”

I think a person is being inappropriate anytime they suggest that someone is lesser because of a physical feature, and say they should get painful surgery to fix the supposed deficiency. That goes for the comments here, as well as the (far more common) comments women get about their physical features.

Only that’s not what she said. A person can say, for example, “I like women with small noses.” That’s different from saying, “Women with larger noses are lacking, and they should get surgery to fix their noses.”

This is all has such Tom Cruise shoppping for girlfriends vibes. Why is she talking so much about it? Why did they have their first date documented with an article and photo shoot? Oddly, I find none of it the least bit intriguing. It’s just so unhinged that I can’t help but look. Is that the design?

With the amount of music I listen to and the new music I find, there is absolutely no way that is the economical choice. I have found over 400 new songs just through the discover weekly playlist, most of which are different artists. That would be a whole lot of money to spend to buy their music.

How’s about auto-playing videos, can we put those in the dishwasher and kill them good?  

Thanks. If video is the format of the future for Gawker, I’m out. I already skip the slideshows unless I’m on mobile (so that I don’t have to see a slideshow). If they want to load pages faster, reduce the advertisement overhead.

It is said that there are two hard problems in computer science: dates, naming things, and off by one errors.

what I want in my car is a dumb display and a bluetooth speaker system.

I’ll bring my own computation thank you very much.

All this was really great information and took me quite a while to learn all on my own.

My parents just finished renovating their dream house for retirement. They specifically wanted a one-story home they could grow old in, hence a renovation, since NO ONE in their (metro) area is building new-construction single-story homes. So they found a mid-century 3/2.5 and did a period-sensitive gut reno.

I’m a real estate appraiser.

...the agency recommends buying one that is designed to heat the size of the room where you intend on using it...

we’re cancelling Diane Sawyer now?
