I suspect it has to do with eliminating the waste heat. Dumping excess heat is really difficult in a vacuum.

Sadly, there aren’t many women of that age and build in the ranks of active actors, outside of a few character actors...because Hollywood.

So it’s a two-slot toaster (extended slots, each one can actually hold both halves of a sliced bagel, so you can toast two bagels at once). When you press the “bagel” button, the toaster only heats up the inner elements. That way the sliced face gets a bit of lovely crisping, while the outside remains doughy. It makes…

My Breville does this (and it’s glorious). Then I discovered that my wife didn’t realize, and had been putting bagels in backwards. I wondered why they seemed to weird when she made them...

Pizza and bagels were both ruined for me once I married a girl from Jersey. I was just tootling along through life here (near DC), in my blissful, mediocre ignorance.

In Baltimore, people like that used to be known as “City Goats.”  

Maintenance is easier on trucks with hoods—at least on trucks with long-haul sleepers. No sleeper cab, no problem, tilt that thing forward, get on in there. Add the length and weight of an extended cab, that complicates a tilt-cab quite a bit. Easier to tilt just the hood itself out of the way.

Yeah, in high school in the early 90s,“sucks” would still get you detention, at least where I’m from!

Didn’t Putin do exactly this same thing the last time he hit the consecutive presidency limit? Just swapped places with Medvedev for one term (after tweaking the PM’s power), then went back to being president (after readjusting the power balance again)? 

One of my coworkers, who grew up in his family’s dry cleaning business, told me that the sticky lint roller was the greatest scam ever perpetrated by the dry cleaning industry.

I think it’s Josh Gadd. In some things, he works really well (1600 Penn comes to mind), but a lot of the time he’s just...a bit too much.  I worry he’s gonna overdo this one, and chew big holes in the scenery.

To be completely honest? I picked my cargo warehouse location specifically because it was on the same block as Lux!

Puerto Vallarta? Puerto Vallarta?!?

...or they have some absolutely brilliant folks on their marketing team.

Thank you. 100% Accurate.

and I don’t presume to know what Ben Carson thinks.

Is the dome light thing something that used to be illegal, and now is not?

Maybe this one is made from something other than majority soy? I originally thought (like Beyond Meat) Impossible was made from other bean proteins. I should have paid attention better before wolfing down my first Impossible burger (which I thought tasted and felt far more like beef—though still not quite there—than…

It’s one of the required pieces of documentation for my state’s new* Real-ID license. I know where mine is, but it’s tattered beyond easy readability.  When I finally have to renew, it’s gonna be a chore....

I’m just puzzled by this whole story in that even though I only fly (round trips) about five or six times per year, I have never once seen an empty first-class seat (or successfully been able to upgrade to one before boarding, due to lack of availability). Where are these flights going to or coming from that have…
