I’m confused. Chris Pratt and Channing Tatum are both American.

Damn you Michael Douglas for making me actually Google that!

Miss America is the scholarship program. Miss USA doesn’t even have a defined cash prize. The prizes for Miss USA are a bunch of photo shoots, beauty products, and travel, but nothing to take to the bank. 2014 Prize List. As most of the list appears to be sponsors of Miss USA, I do wonder whether Trump’s comments are…

Fair point, but I consider the sugar to be optional. When I make whipped cream whether or not I sweeten depends on the specific application. The same way as salt is optional in butter.

Lets be REALLY honest: The only difference between whipped cream and butter is the amount of time spent whipping. So not really that big of a mistake either.

I think the canned beet story really just proves that a good chef can work with anything.

People with nice voices are NEVER the ones who think it is appropriate to burst into song randomly in public. NEVER!

The burning question is, was this groups rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody better or worse than Kanye’s?

I think I may just have to take a trip up to Manchester this weekend and give this place a try.

It’s virtually a public nomination and vote. Anyone who pays to attend Worldcon or buys a supporting membership for a reasonable fee has the right to nominate and vote. The people who had membership to last year’s Worldcon had nominating rights this year, and anyone who bought a new membership this year has the right…

I do this. Empty stuff gets stacked at the edge for easier retrieval at the servers convenience. I have been told by some that this is rude to the server because it implies that they are not paying enough attention. I’ve never had such confirmed by a server, but I figure that even IF they thought it rude initially,…

I feel like there is a false analogy comparing this to the Apple Music deal. With Apple, there is an agreement that every time song X plays, the artist gets a cut. Apple wanted to stop paying that agreement on the grounds that they weren’t charging for it, which is their burden to bear, not the artists. With the…

If weather is not an act of god, then please tell me what it is? Who should I contact for my future weather related requests and grievances?

Why is this your particular sticking point? Yes, we get it, weather doesn’t always behave averagely, but I think it’s still fair to bet on average and be surprised by out of the…

One of my best friends from high school had moved to Australia and met the love of her life there. As a consolation prize to all of us staying here in the US, she had her wedding here at a beautiful beach garden. There was a permanent building on the site that was intended to be used just for the wedding party,…

And hospitals with poor transplant results get dropped down the priority list to receive future organs, even if the poor results are due to patient non-compliance.

I’m ok with that, because NO ONE can safely drive 100 hours a week. Which is why anyone driving on any sort of legitimate commercial license is specifically restricted from doing so.

But you do completely ignore the possibility that women want to look and feel nice in the vary same sex sells clothes that are available and yet, are not allowed to because rapists gonna rape, boys will be boys, men can’t control themselves. THE CLOTHES ARE NOT THE PROBLEM!!

Can most people actually judge another person’s height reliably within an inch? I’m 6’ and I definitely can not. People are 1)Taller than me, 2) A little bit shorter (meaning I can make eye contact without neck strain) or 3) A lot shorter than me. If you ask me for numbers I can only give wild guesses that are…

I worked in a movie theater for 7 years. Most people were smart enough to be done with that crap well before the credits were rolling. One couple, not so much. Last show of the night, so it’s about 2:45am or so. I just want to clean the theater and go home. I walk into the theatre and right in the front row there is a…

I was assaulted by a movie goer who felt she shouldn’t have to wait in line behind the 300 people who arrived before her, so she trampled me to get into a theater that wasn’t prepped yet. Thankfully, she also obstinately plopped her ass into the seat of her choice and refused to move. That made it easy for us to get…

How does taking away means of transportation and putting someone in prison help them to pay child support? It doesn’t it actively makes it harder for them to find and keep work. So they get trapped in a cycle of too poor to pay, locked up, still too poor, so lets lock ‘em up again. That is not effective enforcement…

Explain to me how sending poor people to prison helps them pay their child support. If they had a shitty minimum wage job before, they certainly don’t after. Why not skip the whole prison step and just help people to find jobs so they can support their child?
