But if you drop the superfluous "tea", you lose the opportunity to make marginally amusing jokes by conflating the phrases "Tai Chi" and "chai tea".

Magnetic media in general. It was popular for a long time because it was the most affordable and convenient recordable solution for A/V and data, but the reason that it's been so completely supplanted is that it was so completely awful. There's been a lot of nostalgia in the last few years for VHS and cassette…

"Finned for your confusion."

The other than that the new one is a lot to the way of this is not sure you can get a lot to see the other day to be able to see if we have any attachments may contain privileged information that is not sure if we can be able to see the new year and I am so I am so I am so I am so I am so I am so I am so I am so I am…

This is probably the best news we've heard since it was announced that Star Wars was coming back.

I predict Our Heroes will be purchased by a collector in Japan. The newly-introduced characters will all be EXTREMELY LOUD, and most of them—even (no, especially) the cute ones—will have some sort of transforming ability. Jesse's new love interest will be an adorable kitten with an unavoidably visible penis which is…

"Over 2,270,000" is oddly specific. I feel like you wanted to write "2,270,002 people still use dial-up", but then you found out that one of them was considering a switch to satellite.

Surely you're not impugning the brilliance of "Wannabe".

Consumption and appreciation of... well, everything, I guess. New Stuff is much more plentiful and accessible than it was when I was a kid, which means I receive a lot more individual impressions than I used to, but I'm spending less time analyzing and appreciating them. This is easiest to illustrate in terms of…

Removable magnetic media, including audio/video cassettes, 8" & 5.25" floppies, 3.5" stiffies, etc., etc., etc. Easily damaged. Often lost. Sometimes accidentally overwritten. Enough storage capacity for a Hugo novel, but somehow not enough to store the font necessary to render it.

Depends on who's maintaining the card catalogue, I suppose. I could never understand why everybody else hated them so much, until I used one not maintained by my small town public library. Those librarians had redundant hashtagging figured out long before hashtagging was a thing. Come to think of it, the card…

Also, staffing firms: states sometimes have special requirements for legal entities that supply workers to other entities, and if they don't meet those conditions, then the workers are legally considered to be your employees, rather than theirs. This is not usually a big deal if they're reporting and paying…

It's worth pointing out to employers that under certain conditions, it's possible for an individual to have different classifications for different tax purposes. Most states' Unemployment Insurance tax laws, for example, use a specific, statutory definition of the phrase "independent contractor", and it's not…

While it makes for a good opening sentence, Roland Emmerich is hardly the father of disaster porn. That would be Irwin Allen. </pedantry>

Maybe there's a "legally" missing in that sentence.

...just in case you needed a reason to dump iTunes.

"You can fool all of the people some of the time, and some of the people all of the time, but you can't pick your friend's nose or find a word to rhyme with orange. 'cept maybe 'door hinge', and that's two words." — Abraham Lincoln

Part of me wants to point out that this looks like a longer exposure than the one in Mr. Qureshi's video, but most of me doesn't want to defend bad movie science.

I dunno—I've seen people thrust into vats of liquid nitrogen, but I've never seen it dumped over anyone's head in a movie, and that (apparently) makes all the difference.
