He was joking, there is a big recall on from cuisinart right now for blades breaking apart. It’s been all over lifehacker and their sister sites.

I rambled a little more in a separate post, but please do reconsider using religious phrases with people who aren’t religious, or who disagree with your religion. Think about what they need, and what might bring them comfort. A moment vulnerable enough to require condolence cards is not the time to proselytize.

Also please, if you don’t know for sure that someone shares your faith, leave god out of it.

My mother in law sent me this:

Never give decor. I’m either going to have to live with the vase/candle/plant in my space for however long I know you, or I’m going to have to dig it out of a closet every time you’re coming over.

You’re right. How dare I expect people to be considerate of others.

If you go a gym to work out, the answer is never. It is never ok to drag your sick, sniffling self in there and infect every machine, bar and bench in the place. If you’re going for a run, or you have a home workout room, fine, but this is just like people coming into work. sick You aren’t showing how tough you are by…

A cool tool, but I feel like the person who regularly gets their “news” off of facebook isn’t going to be the person who is all that concerned about fact checking and vetting sources . . .

I had a friend in college who was a world class gymnast. Our Freshman year she broke her leg. A nasty compound fracture and ended up having to have a couple of surgeries on it.

I haven’t read all the comments, but I can’t be the first one recommending the Thanksgiving episode of The League can I? Season 3 Episode 8 if you really want to see how to cheat a fitness tracker.

This is perfect. You can record the accident caused by having this huge thing obstructing your field of view.

I hate it when I go to buy something from this list and realize half the reviews are “unbiasedly” bought and paid for. Amazon really needs to ditch that policy.

I always click the “unhelpful” button on these kinds of reviews. I’m not trying to be mean, and a lot of the reviews are very well thought out. Many of them are probably honestly unbiased, or at least the reviewer is making their best effort to be unbiased. But, a review a company paid for isn’t helpful to me. It…

Hi, I have exceptionally high arches, to the point where a podiatrist once joked that if they were any higher she might start looking for neurological issues. It’s lead to pretty solid hammer toes and overdeveloped (in relation to the rest of my body) calf muscles, as well as a tendency to hold weight on the balls of…

I’ve got a whole house running to keep my instruments in good shape, along with the wood furniture and wood floors, and I’ve noticed it seems to keep my skin a little smoother and I tend to get less sinusy and nasaly when I’ve caught something during the winter.

It’s an interesting idea (and one i intuitively agree with) that scary stories might serve a purpose, and at a minimum, aren’t harmful to children. That being said, am i mistaken or was there zero science here? All I saw was the opinion of one random sociologist.

I must be picturing this weirdly, because i feel like this would immediately alienate every woman on the staff from the male (numerical) majority. I’d be skeptical about any support any female employee gave for any other female employee, and feeling like every interaction was scripted as some manipulation.
