Hall of fame baseball player? When did that happen? 

I have been using the oven method to cook my bacon for several years now. The only downside is when I spilled the hot grease all over my arm one day. But is smelling like bacon really a bad thing?

I’m not saying that I agree with this, but are you saying that knowing that you are being tracked, and someone trying to open up dialog with you is worse than doing nothing? You would rather keep your issues to yourself? 

I once threatened Comcast that I would cancel them (without any alternative) and went through with it. Told them to shut me off when my cycle was up. The problem was that I forgot to tell my wife. Went off on a trip only to have her call me saying the cable was out. She was not pleased to have to run to the Comcast…

I thought we weren't supposed to be eating avocados from Mexico because of their connection to the drug cartels. 

In Philly the biggest scam is the PPA. Park illegally and they’ll have your ticket written before you walk away from your car. Park legally and they’ll have one waiting on your windshield when you return. They are notorious for ticketing before your time runs out. Don’t be surprised if you get a ticket in the mail for…

But if rent is going up because of things like taxes and utilities then that is probably going to affect the rent at the new place as well assuming similar places in the same area. 

When a landlord raises your rent it’s not always because they are trying to squeeze every dime possible. The cost of living is constantly going up so the owner has the choice of asking you to pay or eating the cost. Taxes usually go up every year, and despite what renters think, that is factored into the rent. Same…

She thinks you should ask, and tip an extra 15% for the request, 25% if it is granted. 

Four letters, BYOB. A couple cans/bottles stuffed in a big bag and you are set. When it’s time for a new one you excuse yourself to go to the bathroom and pop open a new one.

Nice reference. 

One of my favorite Morrissey songs, Girl Least Likely To.

I just figured this out last week and the first thing that came to my mind was that I needed to share this with Lifehacker. Now to figure out who the Reddit poster who is looking in my window is. 

Count me as another who misses their Minidisc. What made them so much better than CDs was the ability to customize. The ability to cut, merge or rearrange songs was amazing for the times. Not to mention that you could name albums and tracks. And you didn’t need a computer for any of this, it could all be done with…

Let’s remember our favorite jobber. I remember Billy Berger and his match with Jimmy Snuka. For some reason hearing the announcer call him “one tough customer” as he took a beating stuck with me. My brothers and I still break out that line on occasion.

I too believe that whoever is in charge of the Pixel line follows the Apple model for selling phones. No SD card slot, carrier exclusivity, lagging behind the competition in specs (they put out the last premium phone of 18, and only 4gb). For various reasons Apple can get away with those shortcomings, not so much when…

Not a millennial. 

So you’re just a judgemental dick then. Carry on. 

Let me guess, no kids? 

I’ve found that using the screen time feature works with my kids. Before, I would fight with my kids when it was time to turn off. Then I started setting them up for a specific amount of time and it’s worked. Once the screen locks they accept it and put them down. No more fights.
