The blades of REAL shears are not screwed together and should be treated with the same care as any of your other knives. It’s just like the vacuum cleaner I was talking about (on Lifehacker the other day) - anything you can’t take apart and clean yourself is useless garbage and Americans need to stop buying crap.

USA Today’s editors are garbage and participating in the wearying trend of incendiary media content (which is not journalism). A decent editor would have corrected the sentence from:

My mother gave me a lot of grief for spending nearly $600 on a Dyson vacuum cleaner but I’ve had it nearly ten years and I love it. Unlike a ridiculous number of things in this modern world, Dyson vacuums are designed so that the consumer can take them apart for cleaning and maintenance.

I routinely vacuum out my dryer’s lint trap with a long crevice tool.  It’s an excellent thing to stop and do.

I’ll try anything.  They make us taller and our legs look longer, so it’s *impossible* to resist. I’ve never understood why someone hasn’t invented a pair that comes apart, tho. We’ve got convertible bras - let’s see some convertible heels!

It’s more-or-less a good thing. Calling it “Big Brother” doesn’t really track because it’s a voluntary service that you have to opt into. They’re also *not* wrong that texting while driving is a hazard and that we ought to just chill out and drive.

Do the thing properly:

I’m guessing these conversations are more along the lines of couples griping to each other about how much it sucks to be poor.  

Yeah,girl - me too! That’s why I don’t commit crimes.

I try to tear off what I can first - like, if there’s a yellow tag sticking out. It depends on what kind of labels they are. Most of mine are totally sealed over with plastic film and the dishwasher just softens them enough to be scraped off. If it’s a plain label, there could be some bits left to pick out of the…

I put my old pills in used coffee grounds, wrap up the filter and place it all in the trash. Coffee is very acidic and will break down the pills.

I’m not sure the “13 year old girl market” is really what you should aim for when selling liquor, Applebees.

I lived in SF for five years and I snorted SO hard at that comment.

People hate Chris Pratt because he belongs to a passively-aggressively homophobic and racist church.  That shouldn’t extend to Peter Quill - who has his own set of problems to deal with - but people do it anyway.
