Who is Alfred Einstein?

Many significant scientific discoveries could be thought of that way. Who cares that the earth revolves around an axis once every 24 hours while orbiting around the sun once a year? It has 0 impact on most peoples' lives to know that information, and humanity survived and thrived tens of thousands of years before we…

Who makes a calendar appointment to go grocery shopping?

This is a very tan man.

This is a great list. Here's mine.

Judaism is a strange beast (in these contexts) sometimes, because it is both a religion and a cultural identity (and sometimes even a "race"). Most Jews I know don't go to temple, eat pork and shellfish and cheeseburgers, and have christmas trees (some don't even have menorahs). They still consider themselves Jewish,…

This guy's maps always go viral, but are riddled with cartographic and analytic problems. Coming from a GIS professional, I hate it.

Ugh, more bad cartography from Nathan Yau. There are too many categories in this map for the gradient to be useful. A vast majority of the country looks light purple. What does that mean, exactly? Is that mostly "drive alone" and "carpool"? Mostly "drive alone" and "public transit"? If he wanted to use so many…

YEah i'm playing a super fun mission right now where I have to move some fucking containers around and take pictures of a boat. I love this game.

If you're having thick soup, then you would have already pureed it, though.

I'm not sure this is really great advice. It completely changes the type of soup you're planning on eating. Your soup is going from potentially a brothy type to a pureed type. I wouldn't do this.

I used to go on Fox Nation (that's where the real Fox news commenters go!) to troll. It was actually quite fun, and there are a lot of liberals trolling there, as well.

It's a hollow statement point.

I think Super Bowl rings are fine, as long as you're doing a promotional event wherein you've been hired as a former Super Bowl winner.

What about wedding rings? Will that help me get laid?

I'm not exactly sure what you're saying here. Are you saying there is no legal precedent for privacy when in public? Or are you saying our rights have deteriorated to the point where the only place we can reasonably expect privacy is in our home?

Republicans will just use it as a canard to say that Obama vetoed Net Neutrality

That's a bit of a fallacy, isn't it?

Excellent advice! I wish some of the commenters here would follow it, instead of shitting on my stella and corona (it's hot where I live, and those are wonderful hot weather brews, though most asian beers suit well, too).

I'd like to try this. We don't have it on the west coast.
