Hmmm, maybe it’s just the result of having been raised in one of Earth’s wood tick epicenters, but I can absolutely detect them and almost never get bit, and this includes forays to deep woods cabins where I picked up dozens of the little fuckers. Crush them between the edge of your thumbnail and index fingernail,…

I love this breakdown.

FWIW, I just happened to buy a sealed copy on eBay last night for $32.86 shipped. They’ve got some 15% off sale promotion going, and the listing said the seller had more copies at that same price...

That’s basically the standard uniform of mall parking lot attendants in Johannesburg, which is on point since the US seems dead-set on emulating the South African experience with pathological wealth inequality and the dramatically increased rates of violent crime that it inevitably brings. Can’t wait for the…

Pitchers lose their edge as they age.

How exactly would they have any idea what you paid for a given PS+ subscription unless you bought it directly from them? If you bought it via a third-party reseller (e.g. big box stores, cdkeys.com, etc.), they probably don’t even know where you got it, much less what you actually paid for it. So in point of fact it…

Biden is a mainstream neoliberal piece of shit from last century and will do nothing, unless he realizes (correctly) that it will be even easier for the state to maintain student borrowers in permanent neo-serfdom by transferring oversight for a portion of their debt from the relatively tame Department of Education to…

Hammond reveals that actually, Jurassic Park was one of two islands he created (of course it was).

FWIW, in my experience a lot of grocery stores sell grilled chicken at their deli counter, and typically an 8-pc will only be ~$2 more than rotisserie chicken, while being significantly larger and having superior flavor and texture. I split half of one in an initial meal with my dog while it’s still hot (she freaks out…

I think the moron actually meant “genteel”, it definitely sounds like a word a right-wing Southern wanker would love to use, but either way, JFC...

I’ve never been on a cruise (unless you count a couple of days on Titicaca from Puno to various islands and back a “cruise”) and admit that I looked down on them myself in the past, but with the way my lumbar spine is falling apart, it’s getting to the point where they’re probably one of the few “vacation”-type…

Good luck, the one good thing Dubya did was sign the Great Lakes Compact, so the only way this pipe dream (pun intended) happens is if you can somehow get Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Ontario and Quebec to all agree to the diversion.

We’ve known for close to 40 years that simply installing periodic passing lanes on two-lane roads, without taking any other measures whatsoever, reduces accident rates by approximately 25%*, nevertheless a small minority of such roads actually contain them, even now. Apart from climbing mountain sections, they’re…

Yeah, I’ve been buying a majority of my games from them for the past few years, several dozen now and have never once had a scratched disc or any missing inserts; I frankly trust buying a used game from Gamefly more than I do a “new” game from Gamestop, based on experience. I just wait for one of their frequent free…

For whatever reason you haven’t touched on the pigs’ great ace in the hole: the fact that they can absolutely detain you until a K-9 unit arrives, and can run the dog through its paces without any meaningful basis for suspicion. Moreover, as anyone who isn’t a total imbecile is well aware, any handler can easily…

It’s funny, I had Returnal and sold it on eBay when I heard it would be amongst the free offerings for the expanded PS+, but I see now that the joke’s on me because that is literally the only game out of everything listed here that I would like to get, considering almost all of these games have been given out for free…

Dude, the reason it’s triggering childhood memories for you is because Taco John’s is literally public school cafeteria-grade food. Same phenomenon as Proust and his madeleines.  Stay home and make a 99-cent box of Kraft Dinner instead, you’ll get the same sentiments for a fraction of the price.  

I agree generally, but Konami’s Blades of Steel was much better in this instance.  Only the fight loser gets a penalty?  That’s awesome.  

That’s hilarious, I had to crash at my mom’s place for a couple of months between the end of a lease and the closing date on my house and had my fat PS3 with me, and she had a conniption fit about her electric bill and would constantly go into my room and turn it off when I was at work. She also had all incandescent…

That’s funny, the Driver’s Ed car at my HS was a Corsica as well.  I loved Driver’s Ed; one time when we were out, I came back to find that I had won a school prize drawing for a $50 gift certificate at a local pizza place.
