The solution, ultimately, may be to leave the country. My wife and I are thinking of retiring to the Far East (Vietnam, Thailand or Malaysia) ourselves.

Kavanaugh went out of his way to publish a concurrence (joined by Roberts) saying background checks and registration requirements are still legal and legitimate.

I haven’t bought margarine in decades, as its trans-fatty acids are horrible for you. We use real butter for putting on bread, waffles, etc, and canola or olive oil for cooking.

He’s referring to a situation in Canada where a trans woman (with no surgery) books Brazilian Waxing appointments at Female-Only waxing establishments, then screams and files Discrimination complaints with the local government when the technician refuses to wax her. Note that the person in question is considered an…

If you have an Instant Pot, you can buy an air fryer lid for it.

The only two times I’ve been in a GameStop in the last few years was to sell my old Xbox console (original Xbox One the first time, Xbox One X the next time). Other than that, why bother when I can just buy games through the Xbox online marketplace or Amazon digital codes?

Great post! I can verify that some actors get Producer credit just for the $$$. In the final few seasons of Dallas, Larry “JR Ewing” Hagman was listed as an Executive Producer. Years later, he was asked what he did as EP and his response was something like: “I wanted more money and that was a way to legitimately pay…

Good! The traditional dealership experience is horrid: it turns what should be a happy experience into a combative, endless slog that leaves the buyer feeling exhausted and forever wondering how badly he/she got ripped off.

The Shining is an example of a terrible adaptation of a great novel that becomes, in and of itself, a great movie. The biggest problem I had was Shelly Duvall’s playing Wendy as such a limp dishrag, but I read recently somewhere that that was Kubrick’s intent: he believed a strong, confident woman would’ve chucked a…

Not quite. You can give testimony then take the 5th when you’re asked something you don’t want to answer. However, once you’ve taken the 5th, you can’t start answering questions again; you have to take the 5th for EVERYTHING thereafter. Prosecutors will try to trip you up by asking you a seemingly innocuous question…

Don’t forget Raul Julia, playing a German(?), calling a Latino henchman a derogatory racial insult to his face.

Ratings are not why he left Family Feud. He left Family Feud because of a blackmail scandal. In short: In the late 90s at some point, he was in Vegas, befriended another guy, and made a pass at him. The “friend” turned him down, then blackmailed him for $80,000 (this was when a suggestion of being gay could legit ruin…

I finally bought a knife cleaner from Amazon and just use that to clean our cutting knives. It looks kind of like a set of fake teeth, except it has brushes where the teeth would be.

Same here. I’d rather buy a new grater occasionally than accidentally grate my knuckles trying to scrub one.

The best way to wash your cast-iron pans is to use a brush specifically for that purpose. I use an OXO brush for our $200 Staub cast-iron wok and it cleans the wok beautifully, no matter what is stuck on, with nothing more than hot water and a little elbow grease.

When you finally buy your Series X, plug in the external hard drive from your old Xbox One and select Forza Horizon 5, you’ll get a screen saying “There is an upgraded version available for your console. Press the A button to download it now.”

I purchased the treasure map directly from the Xbox store on my Series X and it worked fine.

The fast-travel boards are back. I went ahead and spent $3 for the treasure map, and I’m steadily knocking them out.

I didn't even make it that far. I got to the middle of the first book before realizing I didn't care about any of these people or what happened to them.

But when Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War WAS unabashedly pro-Murica, GMG lost its shit over that.
