Yeah, it seems veryodd to do a piece on sour candies and not mention SweeTarts.

I really can’t imagine paying for a classical streaming service at a price equivalent to buying one or more classical CDs per month. I either listen to my local classical station, choose a classical composer on Pandora’s free service, listen to something available on Amazon Prime, or listen to an autorip version of a…

Sadly, i must report that Qdoba is still ubiquitous in much of the country.

I can’t see where that happened.

I was briefly excited because I recently turned up some 20+ year-old Kool-Aid packages while reorganizing my kitchen, but it doesn’t look like any of the flavors I have are collectible....

Removing his clothes would suggest an accident rather than a suicide, as it’s uncommon for suicide victims to undress. (Only about 5-8% of suicides involve the victim being undressed according to this: http://jaapl.org/content/36/2/240 )

Do you actually know if there was a hook in that case? In a lot of public restroom stalls I’ve been in, the hook on the stall door has been ripped off.

I don’t use Venmo, but, if I did, I absolutely would link it to a credit card because I want as few things as possible to have direct access to my bank account in the event of a data breach or other hacking incident.

What are you fishing for with wanting to be remembered as a good tipper?

Baking bacon is the best way to make large quantities of bacon at one time, but it’s nowhere near as tasty as pan frying....

Holy crap, I would have gotten that right!

Yeah, the running is just kind of weird, but some of the jumps are actually pretty amazing.

Piers Anthony beat them to that pun by probably a decade or more:

Yeah, the number of occasions I’m in the vicinity of a driftwood-based campfire is probably an average of once every three or four years, and I know to stand upwind of it, so I’m skeptical that my health is really being seriously affected by this.

the Challenger II’s barrel is rifled for accuracy

+1 for the immediate recognition. I’ve never seen it actually used before, but one time in early spring, when there was still snow on the ground, I went past it and there was a large churned path going about 2/3's of the way up the ramp, so I presume that a truck had been forced to use it in the previous few days or so…

Because it’s a really dramatic looking between the sheer slope of the ramp and the surrounding scenery?

I’m not tulleytwo, but there is fairly extensive body of research by actual academics showing that greater ethnic/racial diversity in a country reduces popular support for social welfare programs: https://www.google.com/search?q=diversity+support+for+social+welfare&rlz=1C1GGRV_enUS757US757&oq=diversity+support+for+soci…

Hot take: All sports involve completely arbitrary line-drawing with regard to their rules — there are no objectively correct rules for a given sport that can be deduced through scientific testing, nor is there some platonic form of a given sport that can be reasoned out — thus this standard is just one more…

Uh huh, sure, an accident. I believe it, really.
