Buy better litter. We switched to silica litter and now guests can’t even find the cat box.

The articles seem split. Some reference Momo and other creepy images put into YouTube videos to tell kids to hurt themselves (which no one has been able to prove and YouTube says doesn’t exist). The rest reference WhatsApp where someone is cyberbullying kids into escalating acts of violence and hurting themselves by…

I had a friend stay in the hospital long term. Since they woke you up every 4 hours for vitals regardless, it doesn’t really matter when you sleep, so he gamed all night while the WiFi was best and slept all day while it was slow and awful. And just woke up for vitals or to talk to doctors and what not.

I came down to the comments to mention Subnautica. Any one part of that game doesn’t seem so scary on it’s own, but the combo of alien sea creatures, stellar sound design, and open endless ocean add up to something special. Walking the line between curiosity and dread for several hours at a time definitely puts you in…

“It is hard to enjoy Herd of Zombies after we just heard of the massive layoffs at publisher ActionSight. But if you can ignore hundreds of folks losing their jobs, Herd of Zombies is a solid and fun shooter with some cool ideas and great co-op.”

To be fair, the people getting cut work in customer service, financials and accounting, and other office jobs. Blizzard/Activision is actually hiring new development staff at the same time as these cuts.

Yup! I was looking for lactose free sour cream (which is supposed to exist but I’ve never found it) when I found it. I’ve also learned that the nicer neighborhood’s grocery stores have way more lactose free products than places like Walmart do. 

I once had a client whose logo used the same font as the “California” text on the state’s license plate. When finding a complimentary font for some design work, I used the typeface used on freeway/highway road signs (the ones that give mileage to the next cities).

I wonder if lactose-free cottage cheese would work...

NES Aladdin, the lava level. Just brutal. Admittedly, I don’t gravitate toward challenging games and I’m perfectly happy to put modern games on the easiest setting. But I took turns playing Aladdin with some friends who do play a lot of platformers and everyone struggled with the lava. Only one of us was able to…

I have the silicone tipped version of this. The nice thing is that you can just push the lock in (down on a counter for example) while holding the tongs with one hand. I leave them unlocked while I cook and lock them again when i put them away.

does telling her to tape it for evidenceto give to police constitute a crime if she’s under legal age?

Well, the insurance totally covered the lady who’s fence got mowed down and the dude who drove through the store’s front window (guess he was really hungry), but I can’t say for sure that it was totally comprehensive. I just remember my managers’ attitude toward the driver freaking out about his accident being “this…

That’s not to say there weren’t other problems. During a big event in our town, I’d open with the assistant manager, do all the cleaning left over from the night before (which happened when we were busy) and prep and stocking, then get through a mild lunch rush before our dinner rush started around 3pm. I was…

To add a second perspective, I used to work in pizza. The divers made minimum wage plus mileage, while the inside workers made minimum wage or more. The drivers kept any tips they directly received (cash or credit). The people working in the store only got tips when someone left a tip when picking up an order (only…

There’s no financial advice that can help when the problem is that you just don’t have enough income to meet your necessary expenses.

I was 6 when this was in the news. Adults didn’t even want me to know about it, but of course kids at school knew. And no 6 year old has a good frame of reference for that kind of thing when adults won’t talk to them, so it was always a punchline to me, too. If bringing this back into focus raises awareness about…

The people who play all the time just aren’t talking about it as much. It still has an active playerbase.

Baby Driver had great use of music, but I wouldn’t call it a musical. Atomic Blonde did the same - using music to move along the story, set a scene, drive a particular emotion. But there weren’t really musical performances in those.

Crazy Ex-Girlfriend manages to be just delightful to watch. The (sometimes ridiculous) song and dance numbers manage to feel like a cohesive part of the story, not like they take a break for a song-and-dance with stage choreography. It’s totally underrated for it’s quality.
