Why, it blocks 24 trackers on this very page alone!
(But thanks for reminding people about this great tool. I don’t mind looking at ads to fund free content, I just don’t want them tracking me all over the web.)

This is a great new writing rule. “If a sentence would look silly as hell in a blockquote on a website, ADD A FRICKING PERIOD OR TWO. And maybe delete some SAT words.”

For some reason, every time I look at that Sheriff’s Badge cake I read the headline as a “David Bundy” cake. Which sums up this goddamn year pretty well, actually.

You can save a ton of money by telling people on your presents list what you really think of their politics / religion / significant other / lack of significant other / booger-eating kids / lack of booger-eating kids / ugly face.

Why, all the time you save not going to parties where you might see those people or…

So, cops and reporters say this all the time - but are there any actual confirmed accounts of people breaking into strangers’ houses based on social media reports that the owners weren’t home? Last time I looked, there were zero - but it has been a couple of years.

And of course, that would only be a sample of _caught_…

I was going to lodge my standard complaint against any drink which mixes anything into a stout. God didn’t make Guinness perfect so people can go mixing it with champagne and cider and amber ales.

And then I thought about all those sweet milk stouts and imperial stouts which are usually too malty for my taste, and…

Autofill works on iOS browsers now. You have to install a Safari plugin and I find it a little counter-intuitive to use, but it’s functional.

That’s the thing - it’s not like this is just a slap at Trump. She put the Clintons (and the Rubios and the Cruzes and the Bookers and the O’Malleys) on notice too. She did landscaping 3 months before she moved out. That is some Grade A, Jackie-O-level legacy building right there. And apparently she managed to do the…

Mostly, Sawyer, I agree with you. I keep an umbrella in my car, and an umbrella in my office, and sometimes I can find the one I keep in my house... and if not, I get rained on as I run from one to the other. Life goes on.

However, if I worked outside, I would be likely to feel differently. (Admittedly, the boss would…

Given the other options, yes, for most audiences.

Whole milk will do, but it’s a little light for my taste. Full-fat buttermilk would be better. It’s supposed to be rich. I mean, sure, use 2% or skim if that’s what you like, but this is more like a dessert, or a hearty breakfast like oatmeal, than a bowl of breakfast cereal.

I’ve got a friend who keeps exactly this kind of log. (Not for ballhawking, but “lifetime batting average in games I attended” kind of stuff.) So to me, that’s a totally plausible story. Maybe he should have said “I checked my records and...” but that does sound kind of douchey, so I can see why he wouldn’t.

No, you can’t really go a la carte, but our experience was that 3-4 channels we watched occasionally were effectively costing ~$40/month. (Plus, for our $40/month, we got a bunch of channels that we never ever watched.) Going to a lower-priced bundle of fewer channels hardly changed our viewing habits at all, and we…

Always, always, ALWAYS do a Google reverse-image search for the photos on online profiles - not just on dating apps, but when strangers reach out through other social media too. (I don’t know how relatively hard or easy that is to do on Tinder specifically.)

I’m really curious to see whether this is persistent over time (i.e. over age groups). Will earlier and earlier keyboarding in schools reduce this effect? Will today’s kids learn how to summarize while taking notes, instead of taking dictation? Will their muscle memory be different than ours? Or does the benefit…

Citibank’s is still available, though they did a site redesign which took it off the account landing page and buried it under account management options. I still use it all the time, though.
