Hey Patrick, do you think you could add the OS to the title of This App is Fire posts in the future? Makes the posts easier to scan for relevance and on the main page and through RSS feed.

Reminds me of the Hotel Hell episode with the owner who is a Cher impersonator.

1. Is she trying to seduce America?

Aaaand “those Korean scrubbie cloths” ARE Italy cloths. I should have read closer on that “use an ice pick through the eyeball to hack your brain,” article...

Is there a good reason Idris Elba isn’t James Bond yet? Everyone I know who has watched anything he’s in says, yeah, he’s perfect.

People’s resilience and ability to not be physically harmed by words is not a reason to perpetuate demeaning and hateful expressions, even if they’ve lost some of that ugliness over time.

And I really fail to see the point of kvetching about these. Yeah the rhinestones are kinda wait what, but to me personally high heels are far stupider. (Shrug).
