I call bullshit on the “never used” business. The TV (in one of the pics in the Daily Mail article, is late ‘80s or early ‘90s.

I withdrew my funds. I learned my lesson when I lost my poker money on Black Friday.

Men deciding what’s “unfair to women” is a pretty good working definition of sexism.

I used to work with a woman who claimed she decided to be a lesbian after being mistreated by a series of boyfriends. That's obviously not how most gay people see their sexuality, but it's a perspective that exists. I'm sure some people would argue this woman isn't really a lesbian so much as a disgruntled straight…

The gardens may be gone, but 2/3 of the Cleveland mall is now being converted into a YMCA.

Your Jay-Z on a bike photo isn't the best example of uncool shorts-wearing, since, as anyone who bikes know, the cuffs of non-skin-tight pants are bound to get caught in your gears, possibly throwing you from your bike and into traffic. The only solutions other than wearing shorts are to tuck your cuffs into your…

This advice was more useful before colleges began instituting online waitlists. The university I work at uses such a system, which takes the decision entirely out of the professor's hands.

I'm a guy who's always been unusually nervous asking girls out and I can still say, objectively, that the pursuer is in a much more advantageous position than the pursued. A man, acting like society expects a man to act, can go after any woman. A woman, fulfilling those same expectations, can only hope the man she…

The few name brand items they carry are almost always great deals. It seems like they use them as loss leaders to get you in the store and spending on their private label products.

My commute to work takes 30 minutes by car and 35 minutes by bike, due to the heavy traffic I have to drive through. When I add in the hour I don't spend at the gym every day I bike to work, it's a net gain in free time. Everyone's commute is obviously different, but for me, combining my transit with my exercise is an…

For some reason, this is epidemic in people being interviewed on NPR. "So" is the "uhm" of people with advanced degrees.

MLB suspended Schott twice. She couldn't go to the ballpark or run her team, but she was not forced to sell it. She eventually sold the Reds when it looked like they'd suspend her again, but that was her choice.

Can Silver make him sell the team? I'm old enough to remember when MLB banned Reds owner Marge Schott. They suspended her twice, but they couldn't actually force her to sell her business.

MLB TV plus a $35 per year overseas VPN equals all the in market games I can watch. I can even get the international playoff package if my team makes it. MLB either doesn't notice or doesn't care that I temporarily relocate to Glasgow every October.

One more great reason to use a VPN.

Cleveland was the 10th largest city in the country in 1890 and back then it was booming. Its population tripled by 1920.

What's your BMI?

I work in college admissions and this is something I always stress to new employees. The point when I admit I don't know something is often the point people stop treating me like a salesman. A side benefit is that, if you actually do follow through with an answer, you've opened a line of communication with a potential…

It's like looking into Gerald Laird's future.

I just quit Minecraft, cold turkey. It's amazing what I can accomplish with an extra 25 hours a week.
