When it is a prop that takes over the conversation as quickly as baby Yoda did it is 5 mil well spent. 

I recently also decided to watch Schitt’s Creek, but I couldn’t possibly tell you what service it was on without at least 10 minutes of searching or googling...That said, I did appreciate that it was a device that solved an actual problem I have. Personally, I hate navigating through smart TV apps or typing out show… Read more

Everything about this looks like it’s absolutely right up my alley... Read more

Keep in mind that this is a casting call. They aren’t referring to the characters in universe as Hispanic. If they’re holding auditions for an Imperial officer they also likely refer to them as having a “British” accent. 

Looks like it’s $8 off $26.99, not $8.

I didn’t like Rose much as a character (I hope they drop the whole love triangle thing for the next one because I don’t care who Finn winds up boning) but I like KMT a lot. She has seemed like the person in the new cast who is most excited to be in a Star Wars movie. Read more

Ah, a Jeff. Time to dig this up:

Salted melon is one of my favorite summer time snacks. Wrapping it in proscuitto like my grandparents taught me is also delicious. Salty plays really well with sweet. 

As someone who works in retail, Google is going to confuse a hell of a lot of customers by calling them Nest mini’s when there’s already Google home mini’s. They should have kept the Nest name specifically for the thermostat and video surveillance devices.

If you want to eat bread, go to a bakery. If you want pizza, come to Wisconsin/Minnesota/Chicago. (99% of Chicago doesn’t eat deep dish. & Their dairies get their milk/cream from Wisconsin.)

Hard disagree. Being a man who is 5' 11" - 6' 0" has so many advantages. You’re the default height, the world is designed for you.

I would argue that the dibs system itself is entirely a dick move.  You are basically claiming a piece of public property.  If Chicago wasn’t so corrupt they would have city workers that clear these spots but instead they pocket any money they can and allow people to dibs public property.

Chicago has two well-known winter dick moves: Read more

On the vodka issue, running vodka 2-3 times through a Brita does work, but pretty much kills the filter. The filters are 4-5 bucks a pop and you’ll lose some vodka that will never fall out of the filter. It’s easier and probably cheaper just to buy handles of Smirnoff. Read more

Then you either have a very slim amount of music you enjoy or you have spent way more on your collection than the cumulative monthly fee. If you can’t understand why a streaming service would be appealing then you have a very narrow view in life.

I have it on good authority that that “rat” was actually a squirrel, and that squirrel was named Tippy Toe. 

Stuff without a return address, I just put it through the shredder at work. No body, no crime!
