I had Sprint back in 2011 or so. Even back then, I recall joking with my family that Sprint’s “Unlimited” data was a joke, because the download speeds were so slow that I could be downloading non-stop for the entire month and still never pull down more than 2 gigs. It was literally dial-up speed most of the time.

Anything that comes in a tiny glass bottle. Because tiny glass bottles are badass.

When I would complain as a child about canker sores in my mouth, my parents always advised putting a used teabag on it. Don’t know if it actually works. Could never get an explanation for why it worked, either. I assume some kind of anti-inflammatory effect.

I think “Music Streaming Service” is an overly-broad category. Google Drive can be a “music streaming service” with the right setup, but it’s probably not what most people think of. What works for people will depend on whether they want to stream their existing collection or whether they want a focus on music…

Especially when she finds out he’s Turkish.

Does anyone actually take the monthly payment option? I feel like that’s honestly the safer choice. I’m less likely to do something stupid with my money if I only get access to a little bit of it every month.

I make my own ginger syrup curbed from an Alton Brown recipe. But I diverge at the last step where he pours the syrup into a bottle with water and yeast. Instead, I just pour the syrup into a glass bottle and keep it in the fridge. That way I can either add it to seltzer water and make ginger-ale or add it to hot…

I’m starting to get tired of how frequently this happens. This would be the third card I’ve had cancelled in as many years due to shitty security at retailers. Target, Wendy’s, now Chipotle.

Psh. Those poser ragers got nothing on this guy.

Grilling Tip: The article picture is a bad way to grill. Your skewers look pretty, but they’re going to cook unevenly because stuff cooks at different rates. Put like things together on skewers (e.g. a skewer of all chicken, a skewer of cucumbers, etc.) so that the cook time on the individual skewer is uniform.

but if you get a weird tingly feeling in your mouth when you eat raw fruit, you may wonder—can a person be allergic to apples?

What is that girl thinking, trying to get an education? Surely she should have realized that graduation caps weren’t designed for those people.

If the houses in my area were $196,000, I would have one by now. Unfortunately, I am on the coast, and so Condos are about $250k while Townhouses start at $300k and up.

Giant ice cubes suck for filling your water bottle, however. Even the wide-mouth ones have their limits...

The best roux I ever made for a gumbo was made using bacon fat. It was simply divine.

A whisk works too.

Hi Breanna,

In light of yesterday’s *ahem* vote, may I suggest a follow-up script:

I’ve been calling reps all day. I’m getting a constant busy signal. It’s possible they’re being inundated with calls, but my suspicion for any Republican-held office is that they’re intentionally leaving the phone off the hook so that they don’t have to listen to their constituents screaming at them.

Admit it, Patrick. This is a thinly-veiled ad for Pocket, isn’t it?
