TL... DR.

I second that. Some time ago, there was a similar 100-point food promo involving the Portland Trailblazers and a Taco Bell “Chalupa” night. These stories are fun, and worth reporting on!

I’ve found Splendor to be a disappointment at a high level. Reserving key cards, then building toward those cards, is a key part of high level strategy. However, the randomness of what comes up after cards are taken or reserved can greatly undercut skilled play. And the other issue is that a great player can nearly…

Horrible rich kid is horrible. So fucking what?

Someone who already plead guilty is a CONVICT, not a “suspect”. She gave a verbal allocution even! Knock it off with the presumption of innocence obsession. That time is past for this person.

“Pretend to be a spy” sounds fun, since real spies spent a portion of their time pretending NOT to be a spy.

What’s “spider ham”, like a pig in a spiderman suit that can defy gravity? Does he go by “Peter Porker”?

If Melissa Clark’s “Dinner” cookbook is so great, then why does her employer, The New York Times, have such a weak Cooking section? I have a difficult time believing that one of their writers could be a top-notch cook, when most of their recipe comments are filled with sane-sounding people coming at the Times with…

The internet sucks ass for doing important things that matter. Like cooking. A book isn’t gonna fail to load its content, time out, puke a bunch of popups at me, run out of battery, or ask me to update. Fuck tablets, they suck. Books work, paper is back IN.

Kinda sad how the same handful of commenters have the time and energy to show up with snarky comments on every minor blog post. Perhaps they think enough stars will cause them to “level up”?

A search of the term “Project Redwood” did not clarify what on earth you meant. I’m not a car geek, and I like my automatic 2010 Corolla LE just fine. The car just works, period. And it doesn’t have some damn touchscreen. It has DIALS. The car’s acceleration is occasionally slightly less than I would like, but I make…

“we look mostly the same”. I daresay that’s true of some more than others. 

I’m not saying the Surface is useless. Would probably be a great way to help pass the time on a gym treadmill in winter, by watching videos while hooked to a USB port. Currently I use my phone for this. But for NFL sideline work, I’m sure Belechick-style control freaks don’t see what benefit of a tablet is worth…

It’s Twitter. Tweets can’t be edited, and the error didn’t cause confusion, so it doesn’t matter. If there are grammar or spelling errors in the job listing on the Dow Jones site itself, that would be a different matter.

Is this the same NFL that tries to pretend the Microsoft Surface is a viable and reliable sideline replacement for laminated papers in a 3-ring binder? Yeah, that’s what I thought.

Kinja Deals! 40% off TODAY ONLY, they must be CRAZY to offer such low prices.

Maybe they concept was originally intended for military use until even the heavy-spending military told them they were not interested. If was ACTUALLY cool, it would be a military item first.

You ever hear of “measure twice, cut once” in regard to woodworking? Sure you have, you’re a manly man who knows these things.

It will be interesting to see if the ratings increase is sustained. I suspect that to some extent it might have been viewers hoping to see more drama. That said, I am hoping for a bright future for Hoda and the rest of the team.
