those temps are in C but it is snowing and below 0 in Calgary.

Phablets are popular in asia because of games and because the phone is often a persons only computing and entertainment platform. It's their xbox/laptop/TV/phone all rolled into one.

He does look really old. My parents are a few years older than he is and look ten years younger than he does. He's had that unhealthy old guy look since Lost In Translation, though.

I'm pretty sure everyone knows Jenny McCarthy's background and simply don't care, or consider her past nude modeling a solid career foundation for a public health spokesperson. After all, this is a culture that elected a dude who played a supporting acting role opposite a chimpanzee to be president.

it's quite literally every Australian redneck's dream vehicle.

I'm not sure why the Miata is always derided as a "chick car."

i hate that thing in a major way

Ricky is about 10x funnier than Louis CK, though. And he doesn't have kids so he can't retreat into that awful sad dad routine that worn out americans seem to love.

Wow, unexpected.

These articles just make me feel like a lot of people are in denial about what kind of world they are actually living in. This is a globalized trashy culture populated mostly by cretins and flying is more like taking a greyhound bus in the sky than it is the era of Pan Am and the Concorde. The assholes have already…

Hipsters in Boston used to drink Black Label. You could get it for a dollar at Bukowski's in 2004.

After the 1991 civil war in Somali, many refugees came to the united states via kenya. The federal government assigns a place to live, based on volunteer organizations that are contracted out. Minnesota just happens to have many of these organizations, like Lutheran Social Services and the Minnesota International…

Like DC, Boston has a height restriction for aesthetic reasons. You can build a tall building in Boston but the process takes years and probably won't get approved. There are also issues with the airport being so close to downtown, and the fact that most of Boston is built on landfill.

Actually the somalis are here because lutheran social services volunteered to take care of them in the early 1990s during the big civil war over there. MN is one of the last bastions of bleeding heart liberal protestantism.

People do go there, but to the beach, not to the ski hill.

Sochi is actually a summer resort, which is why it was weird to have the winter olympics there in the first place. Overbuilding in the ski area was probably a bad idea in the long run, as that industry has had a lot of setbacks due to it becoming an unpopular pastime due to the costs and time commitment. However if…

Why would she bother taking voice classes now? she already made $70M this year. At this point it's almost more interesting to see how far she can take it without knowing how to sing.

Most regular people don't use computers for their internet anymore. In some places, like most of Asia, they never did. The portrait mode videos look fine to anyone who just uses the internet on their phone.

It can be quite a moneymaker. Rush Limbaugh's deal is worth $400M. It seems like McInnes is attempting the same sort of career but destroyed his frontal lobe through substance abuse so doesn't quite know when to rein it in. It's a shame, because he can be genuinely entertaining, much more so than the shock jocks he is…

Fanny packs have had their second round of being "in" for so long they are now going "out" again (as evidenced by being picked up by mainstreamers like MMcC). Gawker media is kinda slow on the draw when it comes to trends, like just discovering boxer briefs. Next up: "Hipsters: What's up with their weird 'Skinny…
