That’s the darn truth.

A strange game-theory experiment plays out in my house with some frequency: I am a person who wants to eat 2-4 “Natural” Oreo-equivalent cookies after dinner, hoping that the package will last the week. My wife, however, eats them a sleeve at a time. As a result, I feel compelled to gorge myself on them just so I get…

I didn’t mean to say you didn’t have a say, I just meant to put my own credentials on the table. Not to try to trump yours, just to clarify my own. Hence: to each their own.

25 miles of range in 12 hours? That doesn’t seem right to me. My Leaf can charge 70 miles or so overnight.

For what it’s worth, I’m also speaking from 20 years of restaurant experience, 15 of them serving/managing. To each their own.

I think I nervously looked at my watch.

Do not, I repeat, DO NOT draw attention to the dropped plate. They know. Everyone knows. Let the record-scratch silence speak for itself. Have whatever 4-year-old feelings you have, but do not under any circumstances clap, or yell “Hey!” or groan loudly like you’re in the studio audience of a sitcom taping. Silently…

Because it was one of the most egregious wasted opportunities I’ve seen in a loooong time. That episode was painfully bad. I almost gave up on the show right there.

Flipside: only complain if the noise is actually unreasonable/ disruptive. I used to live in a condo building that allowed dogs. My upstairs neighbor didn’t like that my dog sometimes barked when people came and went. The dog was not barking at odd hours or keeping anyone awake (I am sensitive to shift work concerns…

I’m dissapointed. In order to really replicate the experience you should have invited two friends to stand in the bathroom and look the other way while pretending they couldn’t hear or smell you.

I’ll still wait until Gummi Bears is over to start watching, though.

They should have a playlist that let’s you reproduce an entire Disney Afternoon block from your year of choice.

You know that super-intriguing cyborg you’ve been seeing on the bridge and want to know more about? Well, I know you want us to give her a few well-placed character moments over several episodes to reveal who she is and where she comes from until you organically grow attached to her a fully-formed person, but how…

A large handful of food allergies for my youngest have turned this into a special art in our house.

OK, I’m confused then. I thought he was named showrunner a couple of weeks ago. Still, his presence gives me much hope. He doesn’t get enough credit for his world building. Yiddish Policeman’s Union is an alt-history gem.

Isn’t Chabon the show-runner now? Kurtzman is a ceremonial emperor at best.

That’s a great little commuter. I’d daily that and keep a high-mileage 4runner or Tacoma around for the weekends.

Ever since my toddler stole my stovetop kettle, yes. It is his now. There is no getting it back.

My house came with a microwave. Otherwise I wouldn’t own one and probably would have bought an electric kettle instead.
