It's going to take 50 years to undo the past 4.

This was what my mother made us for lunch regularly. Neither of us were particularly picky eaters or anything, but it was an easy thing to get together - some cheese, dried or fresh fruit (sometimes a little of each), some chopped up crunchy stuff (celery, carrot slices), some other vegies we could eat raw like…

I agree! My kid (well, a recent college grad, so no longer a “kid”) and I were just talking about this recently— his favorite childhood meals were what we always referred to as “pick up dinners,” meaning veggies and hummus, sliced cheese, and sometimes some pepperoni or salami, prosciutto, etc., fruit and any small…

This was always my ‘rescue’ dinner for the kids when I worked full time & wouldn’t get home until 5-6pm. Sometimes it included a bit of leftovers from the night before. My (now adult) girls fondly remember them and asked recently about what we called the surprise plates.

Actually, you REALLY need an attorney to draft the agreement and guide you how to properly implement this. It’s really, really easy to do it incorrectly. Or to have the agreement and to implement it in a way that causes penalties.

In-home care is domestic employment, so people receiving pay in exchange for providing care to family members also need to be aware of Unemployment Insurance tax requirements which vary from state to state. Most states have exceptions in certain cases, but it depends on the relationship between the caregiver and the…

For slightly newer, as I’m unsure of what constitutes “Classic” movies, check out Paper Moon and The Last Picture Show.
Night of the Hunter is so damn good though.  

They look like they’ve gotten lame, but dad lame.

I’m nearly positive the best engine pre-Google was HotBot

As a teacher, I’m praying for an all virtual return, though I know it won’t happen. I teach in a private school (because I just finished my PhD and couldn’t stand the thought of going through more coursework yet to get my teaching license). Our parents are demanding their kids go back to school. Our classrooms are…

if conservatives and Republicans remain silent while McCain and Tammy Duckworth get attacked for their patriotism...I don’t know how to finish that, except to say I hope the Democrats get their shit together and find a way to collectively hang the rotting, stinking carcass of this administration around the GOP’s neck…

In case anyone forgot, Claire is the fucking best.

And there’s not really a point to compare tape drives to hard drives in this context, because tape drives are already the preferred format for this sort of storage. The headline makes it seem like tape drives are going to start out performing hard drives in an application in which that is not currently the case.

You should try to find the Star Wars Radio Drama and see how that expanded the SW universe at the time. There are entire scenes that play out before the point at which the movie begins (I seem to remember a dinner that Leia has with an Imperial officer) and there’s just a lot of extra worldbuilding through dialog,…

What, no Top Secret!? Heat? Incomplete list is incomplete.

The entire mask topic is entirely non scientifically backed.

I mean, after all of the dozens of countries the U.S. has interfered with over the past 100 years, I can’t say we don’t deserve it.

I loved him as Frodo in the BBC Radio Lord of the Rings. Highly recommend if you need something to listen to for the commute. I think it’s around 13 one-hour parts?

This has malice written all over it from the humiliation he faced recently. He truly is a sadist.
