If the victim was OK with this verdict then why does your opinion matter in the least? Did you even try to reach out to Ms. Rowe to get her view on it?

Thanks for reminding me that I always need to check my Lifehacker links to make sure I’m not clicking on a Root story.

You didn’t talk about two things proven to help - proven, as in double-blind scientific studies - gargling with salt water and taking andrographis

More than just saying it - the signature isn’t even close

Are you going to update this with the fact that she went on Kimmel and all but confirmed that she knew nothing about this statement and that the signature wasn’t hers?

I work at a downtown restaurant and have to be tour guide all the time for visitors - here’s a brief version. It’s very much centered on Central Austin, but if you’re staying North or South for some reason you can find plenty in either area without venturing far. This is a VERY incomplete list - this is a city with a…

Traffic is terrible compared to when Austin was half this size. Traffic is great compared to most other thriving cities.

The only thing ‘done’ is all the people whining that Austin used to be great but now it sucks. I’ve lived here 20 years, and for 20 years I’ve heard “This city was awesome (2 or 5 or 10) years ago, but now it sucks.

As for affordability, I’m a waiter who just bought a house 10 minutes from downtown. Try finding that…

I work in a restaurant that gets a lot of tourists (we’re downtown) and when I give advice I say the same thing - “You can wait 4 hours in line for a 100, or 2 minutes in line for a 98.”

Second for La BBQ - pro tip: it’s a food trailer with picnic tables. After you place your order go across the street to the…

So what is the counter-argument as to why this would be a good idea? And by “20% deduction” does that mean that if a company makes $1 million in profit and that all goes right to the owner then the owner only pays taxes on $800,000?

Wait, what are the rules? Can they dance to the song? If they do, can they sing along? If they do are they supposed to just mumble through that word, like when you join in singing Happy Birthday at a restaurant but have no idea what the person’s name is?

The best comment I’ve seen on here is “The Root is like a black…

That’s what I was wondering about too - wouldn’t it be easier to just download it?

Are we at the part yet where there’s an update IDing this ass and telling us he’s been arrested and lost his job? I would like to go ahead and jump to that part, please.

From everything I see this cop should be convicted of murder, but this is more than just someone who committed a petty crime and refused to stop - he could have killed those officers when he was using his car as a battering ram to escape (one officer is seen jumping out of the way to avoid being hit). When we…

“the Navy, at present, can’t do that job effectively, which poses a pretty grave existential threat to the country.”

Existential threat from who? The Chinese have one barely-capable aircraft carrier.

We face a much greater “threat” from our loss of influence in the world, as we put our heads in the sand and China…

“the need the US has for strategic forward presence and a show of strength.”

I believe the argument here is that 200+ ships are more than enough to do both of those things.  

Not sure what’s worse - this guy’s few stupid tweets, or you trying to ruin this guy’s career because of a few stupid tweets.

I know, I know...you gotta fill that daily quota, and “Hey isn’t this offensive!!” will always get you those precious clicks

The Analog Effex pack in Google’s free Nik Collection isn’t a one-to-one exact reproduction of Instagram filters, but it’s simple, easy, and customizable.

““Truth is, the only person who’s life is at risk is Kats himself”

In addition to the people who he IS putting at risk (like the drivers on this highway), there’s also the responsibility he has to everyone he is close to. They’re now the ones who are going to have to spend all their time and emotional energy nursing…

Remember, please, that that individual server might have only 4 or 5 tables and two table turns per shift (they get there at 4 for prep, restaurant opens at 5, most tables don’t arrive til 6 (or later) and each stays 90-120 minutes). You make a 7:00 reservation so they hold your table from 5:45 til 7:15 or 7:30. …

This might be the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever read here (and I’ve read some fairly ridiculous things before, although they are the exceptions) - this sounds more like advice on how to end a relationship, not terminate a first date.
