A la carte TV exists (though not for live programming). It’s called the iTunes store, and most people have decided it’s too expensive for regular use.

Is a hot dog meat?

One thing that goes completely unstated in the article: people in long term relationships can forget how hard it is to be single and looking. If you’re 25 and out of school, you probably don’t meet many new people outside of work (and hooking up with people you work with isn’t a great idea). You’ll be attracted to…

In general, I use vermouth whenever a recipe calls for a dry white wine (plenty of good garlicky dishes, and also some lemony ones). Decent quality, relatively cheap, universally available, screw cap, doesn’t spoil as readily as regular wine, and as an added bonus, you’ve got the ingredients you need for a variety of…

I’m a little skeptical when the liquor industry tells me my liquor is “spoiling.” I’m sure more complex liquors lose some of their subtler notes after not too long, so don’t save that single malt scotch for a special occasion, but if you’re mixing up some rum into a sugary cocktail, I’m not sure it really matters much.

I had $4 toast this morning. Ok, technically it wasn’t $4 toast, it was toast that came with a $14 plate of potatoes, mushrooms, and eggs. But it’s toast that I’d definitely pay $4 for. A big, thick slice of delicious sourdough, brown and crumbly on the outside, and warm and chewy on the inside, with just enough…

I agree that players should be able to be paid. But your math is wrong, since you’re comparing annual costs against a multi-year contract.

I know the USWNT has great TV ratings for the world cup semis and finals, but how do their ratings compare the rest of the time? It seems oddly selective to ignore world cup revenue but only consider world cup revenue.

It isn’t legal for the coach to be standing on the court, but other than that it’s legal.

I think co-borrowing is different from co-signing. Co-borrowing seems to describe a situation where there are actually two people borrowing the money and making the payments. If you’re actually treating the process as, “WE are borrowing this money, WE are buying a house, and WE are paying the mortgage every month,”…

She’s saying privileged people (“folks [who] have the luxury to hold out for ‘the perfect’”) shouldn’t withdraw their support from the process just because they don’t get exactly what they wanted, because vulnerable people will suffer under a GOP president.

Here on earth, tweets exist in context. And this tweet exists in the context of #bernieorbust.

I always use anchovy paste instead of tinned anchovies. In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever eaten tinned anchovies (unless they were prepared by someone else, anyway). Am I missing out on anything?

Don’t get me wrong, peeps are terrible, but have you had a cadbury creme egg?

Easter is a dumping ground for crappy candy. Peeps. Cadbury jizz eggs. Off-brand jelly beans (starburst and jelly belly are legit, but the once-a-year jelly bean buyers don’t know the difference). Robin eggs. Hollow bunnies made of some substance that can hardly be called chocolate. The colored eyes on those bunnies.…

I assumed she was the “Sophia Taylor” from the “My apology goes out to the Taylor family and especially Sophia Taylor,” line. Is Sophia Taylor someone else?

I don’t think a handler wrote it. This reads more like a handler heavily coached him on exactly what to say, but still let him write it. Something along the lines of:

Thanks for the correction

Good point. I think their preference here is pretty clear, I guess I’m mostly wondering whether this is actually something they’re willing to spend political capital (and, likely, actual dollars) on.

MLB still let Arizona have the ASG after they passed their papers-please law. On the other end of the spectrum, the NFL has been pretty unequivocal about Georgia not getting the super bowl if they pass their proposed anti-gay law. Any idea where the NBA falls? This feels like a “sure, everyone is outraged today, but…
