When I started buying most of my clothes online is when I finally took the time to take all of my measurements and start buying to the size chart. The number size might lie, but the size chart is usually right or pretty close. (Disclaimer: websites selling a bunch of different brands and don’t necessarily have the…

Postal worker should probably carry one of those “potentially dangerous” warnings. It’s pretty infamous for its back and repetitive motion injuries and its high stress.

The part I’m puzzling over is that 95% of the time and work is in hard boiling and cleanly peeling and cleanly splitting the eggs. The deviling/smooshing part, and then the spooning back in part, occupy less than a minute total. As long as I have already hard boiled eggs on hand, deviled eggs is my “last minute…

Well, this was a nice ego boost - a 99 on Skill, and my second guess brought the pool down to just one word (which I got).

I’ve never found an alternative program that I have any trust in, including RandySpade’s MediaMonkey recommendation, which IIRC eventually corrupted that copy of my library because it couldn’t handle the size. (It was the free version, admittedly.) iTunes sucks and I don’t spend any substantial time in it, mostly for…

The biggest problem with this list is that with a few exceptions (Runaway Bride, for instance), it shows had how poor an indicator box office take is as a measure of perceived quality. It’s not just that many of them are bad. It’s that many of them were widely acknowledge by the viewing public as being not great even…

Am I alone in that I genuinely never think about it? I don’t generally wear shoes at home, but that’s because I don’t really like wearing shoes. In the very rare occasion I have a guest in the house, it’s never once crossed my mind to look to see if they had any on. I’m kind of oblivious, though.

They’ve been promising that that online portal mentioned in the last paragraph will let you add them and change your filing status. I just had my first kid in 2021 so I’ve been keeping an eye out for it.

I would try to use the Get My Payment tool if it’s still open. It was supposed to allow you to add a bank account.

Right. Who are these coders who are regularly putting out 70wpm, and what are they doing with it? Probably not writing code. I can count on one hand the number of procedures/classes/etc. I’ve written in my career that are longer than 2000 lines, and those took weeks to write and debug because the important part is…

I suspect BrianGriffin is actually thinking of water intoxication aka water poisoning. Drinking water faster than your kidneys can excrete it (20–28 liters of water a day, but no more than 0.8 to 1.0 liters every hour) or without replacing the electrolytes you’re diluting will absolutely kill you. It’s a hard limit to…

I’ve been there, done that. (Not for the IRS, though.) Never sucks less.

I mentioned in the comments of the original article that my mom died of cancer in 2018, and it was actually the same one - small cell lung cancer. And yeah, she survived for about 10 months during which the chemo and radiation took out all but a tiny speck in her brain, as per a full body MRI. But then that speck…

Thanks.

I’m familiar with this. My mom (66, life-long smoker, diabetes, and blood clots in her legs) was diagnosed with Stage IV lung cancer in the summer of 2017 and was given I think a year. She did decide to do the aggressive chemo and such, and by Memorial Day of 2018, the only cancer they could find was a tiny spot in…

Boy, you’re super comfortable being nasty online, aren’t you? You don’t think your petty insults here don’t show who you are as a person? I’m going to bet you wouldn’t be comfortable saying those exact words to me if we were at a party, but thinking it instead of saying it doesn’t make you not a jerk, just cowardly.

LOL, so I’m supposed to ignore when someone is getting hurt because “it’s personal” and “not my business”? Tell me, are you one of those people then that ignore it when you pass a woman on the street being groped and trying to get away? Do you not say anything when you see a kid getting punched at the store because…

Nah. A conversation is a restaurant, unless it’s someone who is rude enough to talk much louder than the general hubbub, takes work to listen in on and probably to reply to. Text on a social media site is a billboard that is RIGHT THERE, with a chalkboard and chalk attached to the bottom for replies.

not everything is FOR YOU.

I’m going to flip that around and ask you why shouldn’t we use a tweet from 10 years ago to judge someone? Some percentage of people learn and grow, of course, but in my experience, the vast majority of complete shitheads are still shitheads 5, 10, or 20 years on.
