If cuz’s instagram feed is anything to believed, the food AND booze scene in urban Houston puts that pussy on the chainwax

My cousins grew up near Houston in the burbs, and one of them now lives in the city, and he actually really likes it, and definitely falls into that multiculturalist bucket you mention.  He’s a good guy and makes me kind want to visit Houston.  In January.

Driving in Boston sucks, but other than severe congestion, it’s really no worse than most other major, east coast cities. Just beware Storrow Drive. And I guess there are very few off ramps on I-90 in Boston. If you are going west coming from the Airport and you miss the exit for downtown, the only options to turn…

People forget what Boston used to be shaped like (this)

You stuck to sports so hard you might never get peeled off the sports again.  SPORTS!

Big Vlad had nearly 2600 hits over his 15 year career, so it stands to reason that at least one or two hits by a guy who looks very much like him, and learned how to swing a bat from him, are going to look similar.

Yeah, I guess, but even still, part of the rank you get is whether you win or lose, and with crap DPS, it doesn’t matter how good of a healer you are.

The problem is that DPS is still flooded with people who have no business playing it.  Yes, it’s good that I will have enough healers as a tank, but so far my games have been way less competitive and fun, even if I do have a “balanced” composition.  

You could wet a washcloth and freeze it, then let the kid chew on it.  Similar effect, less mess.

I don’t know.  Much like with the metric system, much of the world has switched to the 24-hr clock away from the 12-hr clock.  I don’t think it’s as widely adopted though as metric.  The US (except for the military) stubbornly continues to use the 12-hr clock

Switch to a 24-hour coco and your AM/PM dilemma is gone

Also, upstate NY is dark, cold, and snowy for half the year, which is most of the academic year.  

I’m surprised you didn’t get more stars on the “don’t give them salt and pepper shakers” comment.

Those are definitely palmiers, if you go to any french/euro bakery they are called that, even in the states. It is actual, laminated puff pastry with sugar in between the folds.  Funnel Cake is some sort of dough or batter that is poured through a funnel in hot oil that resembles almost like, a nest or something. It…

Making a diagnosis is often playing a game of statistics.  Do you have back pain?  It’s very likely that losing excess weight will help alleviate that.  But losing a meaningful amount of weight can take months, or even a year, and an aggressive cancer can kill you in that time.  It is hard to do, because by nature of…

They’re more likely to steal your credit card number from hacking Target or something than they are digging through your trash.  Searching for credit cards in the trash like like looking for a needle in a haystack.

They will be good, but man is their pitching mostly bad.  I don’t know enough of what they have in the minors or what they can trade (and who would be available to trade for).  Gerrit Cole is an obvious choice if they want to go for it.  Strasburg may opt-out, but he still has 4 years and $100 million on his contract…

When I was in 4th grade I once threw a pitch sideways, it just slipped out of my hand and hit the fence on the 3rd base dugout.   The ump was confused, and my father had to tell him that it was a ball.
