My child is “challenging”. He’s seven, but he’s very independent-minded, and what many would call defiant. Riding him does not work. Punishing him does not work. Shaming him does not work. All of those things make his behavior worse and our lives miserable. What does work is playing legos with him and reading stories…

It looks like Cuomo is just going to keep his ass in office fighting off all of these claims of sexual harassment until the investigation into the allegations is concluded

Don’t do this. It’s impossible to avoid the implication that you’re attempting buy better service. Mentioning the tip, drawing attention to the tip is profoundly awkward and often insulting. Passing notes to restaurant workers is weird.

Walkers is a Lay’s brand: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lay%27s

As objectively shitty as Ted Cruz is as a person, I must point out that this is exactly how I’d expect any teen girl to react in public when her (in) famous dad tries to get PDA for the cameras.

Got 6000 eggs and made 700 tacos? And ran out of eggs? There’s a rounding error somewhere there, or there are some very inefficient tacos.

“He then trotted out the sales manager who basically fed us the same lines, low-key berating us for wasting his time and wasting his sales guy’s time”

If “hedge funds” actually operated as originally intended where you could use them to minimize risk to your bottom line caused by market fluctuations (“hedging your bets”), then it wouldn’t be an issue. Instead they’ve turned into massive slush funds that the financial sector can use to gamble on the stock market in…

Let’s not pretend like there are any good guys in this story.

That’s just it though - the advantage of Red Lobster is that it’s reasonably accessible seafood pretty much anywhere in the country. It’s not the world’s best and you can get a better lobster at some local place just off Cape Cod, but most of America isn’t that.

I won’t lie, the last time I went to a Red Lobster was treating my grandpa when I went to visit him a few states over last year. It was his favorite restaurant, and we insisted on treating him to a nice meal while we were there because his health was so poor that we weren’t sure we’d ever get another chance (turned…

i know it’s de rigueur to hate on ranch, and when it comes to the bottled stuff, i get it for the most part- but homemade ranch is delightful. what’s not to like about garlic and herbs?

It seems like there would be a really great way to teach people in prison trade skills while allowing them to build up a fund for when they’re released and supply furniture to schools, government buildings, etc, but... we’re not doing that.

Being put on admin leave after a shooting is pretty typical, actually. It’s just a free paid vacation. 

Funny that this doesn’t mention the largest reason: there are a lot of people outright looking for things that can be deliberately taken out of context and misconstrued to say they’re offended and thus show how much they hate witches. Probably the nastiest part is that they’ll all glom on to the attack and accuse…

Never tweet?

ARGH! Sentences like this make me cringe: “Gravy bread is just a French bun dunked in the au jus until it’s falling apart.”

It is *not* dunked in the “aus jus,” because “aus jus” means “with juice,” hence the sandwich name, “roast beef au jus.”

The sandwich is dunked in the jus.

No you don’t. You own a fork. I’m an acolyte of Alton Brown’s no-unitasker-devices scripture.

But if you’re streaming the game then you aren’t testing your hardware. You’re testing the servers and your internet service.

First of all, let me say that header photo looks like those old Brach’s nougats.
