Honest question here: When I walk down the street, if I make eye contact with a person, my instinct is to smile. I'm happily married, and never, ever attempt nor desire any further contact with a person than this, but it is in my nature. Is this a habit I should try to change or correct?

Many reasons Miami would be better to live in than St. Louis, but the relative odds of getting a gun pointed at you? Not one of them.

You found the human equivalent of a Tennessee fainting goat.

"Hi, I'm Joe Belfiore. I'm a grown man, and I chose this haircut. Now let me show you what I think is another good choice; Windows 10."

This is fantastic. When I was in undergrad, I went to New Mexico for an archaeology field school. To get to our digsite, we had to pass through the land of two women in their eighties who had been together for years and years. One was a rancher, and the other was a rodeo queen. They're both in the Cowgirl Hall of Fame…

True enough, and there isn't really a better way to make the comparisons you make than with the data you use. Additionally, higher rated recruits make the NFL at a greater rate than those who are not highly rated, so there is some validity to the analysis, regardless of whether the chicken or the egg comes first.

Good analysis, but it neglects the frequency with which the tail wags the dog in terms of star ratings. A player who would normally be a three-star recruit who receives an early offer from a team like Alabama will almost certainly be upgraded to a four star after a short interval solely because of that fact. That's…

I think my biggest issue is that if I buy a used car, I want to get a very, very good deal on it. My current need is for a crew cab pickup, and the price drop from new to used feels so slight that it doesn't seem worth it to make compromises. Any tips to improve my used truck hunt that may change my mind?

I love Kaley Cuoco, but what's up with that Simple Jack haircut?

why not just do it at the police station?

Why, oh why did you have to bring Toad the Wet Sprocket into this? You hurt me Madeleine. We could have hated on pedos together. Now we shall most assuredly hate pedos separately.

I'm not so sure that this is true. There's no question that what he did was wrong, but as he says, this is also the way he was disciplined as a child. He was beaten as a child as well. This doesn't excuse his behavior of course, but those who have been abused do adapt to rationalize that abuse, changing what they…

I wasn't too much older than this girl when my dad, who had always had a mustache, shaved his off. I asked him where it went, and he said "down the drain". So I then went into my parents' shower and started trying to take off the drain cover so I could get his mustache back for him. He grew it back and never shaved it…

I moved to VA from Texas about a year and a half ago. I wake up in the morning and all I want are breakfast tacos and kolaches, and they are nowhere. NOWHERE. It's hell on earth.

You had me at "interacting in meat space."

Sorry, sorry. Force of habit

DAMNIT FIERS

You're absolutely correct. He just threw a ball as hard as he could and hit a guy in the face. It fucked him up, but he's got to do his job and get the batter out, so his solution is to throw hard, and it happens again. So he doesn't know what the fuck is going on, but he is a big ball of stress and then that fat shit…

Make sure they are legal in your state before you drop the cash. Illegal in Virginia for sure.

As someone who grew up in Oklahoma, this woman and the woman who told Wolf Blitzer that she was an atheist and didn't need to "thank god" after a tornado destroyed her home make me very, very happy. It's worth remembering that even the reddest of red states are not uniformly so.
