Because it was kept in a safe. You don't lock up your scale for measuring flour.

Try this guide (http://www.reddit.com/r/malefashiona…) from the subreddit MaleFashionAdvice, from which the article spawned. There are plenty of tailors in every city, and even the suburbs have them at regular intervals. It's best to go to many and get quotes for changes, see if you like the guy/woman.

This is the tricky part of the science behind this, which we discussed a bit in the comments on the original post. The phenomenon I'm talking about here relates more to how you remember time after the fact. So, when it seems like the last five years just whizzed by, that's because of a lack of new stimuli to trick…

If you go to a nice menswear store or boutique that doesn't do its own alterations you might ask for some suggestions. Every year, city magazines run "Best of __" pieces and they sometimes have suggestions for tailors. There also are specialized mens' style sites.

However, time loss can also be a symptom of hyperthyroidism, something you should have checked out if you are experiencing other related symptoms [enlarged goiter, bulging eyes, rapid weight loss, among others]. I used to have this happen all the time. Like in high school, I had over 2 miles to walk home. I'd…

Or it's a 100% PR move that the Patriots knew would be confused with a classy gesture.

Of course the jerseys won't end up on the backs of Burundian children. They already have too much Patriots gear.

I read that same quote and thought of something different. It means all those kids complaining about class dragging on and on are actually paying too much attention and thus slowing down time for themselves. Lol.

100% pilot error. He opted for a visual approach (confirmed via ATC) and ended up way short of the runway. He then flared to extend the approach a bit but lost speed and struck the tail WAY short of the lines. Pilot botched his landing BAD.

What I like about a Michael Wilbon is the tenacity and drive for constant improvement. Here's a guy who just loves the game of basketball and is the first guy in makeup every morning. He has all the raw tools to be a Henry Abbot at the cost of a Ken Berger. You can expect him to be a prime-time performer day-in and…

Looks like Chicago. Tallest building on the left is the Aon Center, with the Hancock Center being a few buildings in from the right. Looks like it was taken from a boat based on the wake visible at the bottom, but you can get a similar view by just heading out to the planetarium and looking back toward the city. I…

Nice effort by ESPN, but they got completely one-upped by NBC Sports today.

And lo, was the Way for Tebow cleared, that he might play Tight End, and probably sucketh at that, too. The Lord worketh in some mysterious-ass ways.

Yeah, I agree. As a couch potato, when I read "100 miles a month" I see "oh my god, that's a lot of running" but you're right, it's not marathon (3+ hours at a time) running. I found a blog post (here) that walks through the whole study (rather nicely) and basically says "some people who exercise to the extreme get…

Obvious next question - how about syncing extensions, bookmarks etc between Opera and Chrome???

Not totally free.

A story I made up to remember the sequence easily: Jack (jumping jack) walks (wall sit) into a bar, and pushed (push up) some guy. He got punched in the gut (abdominal), then he jumps onto the bar (step up), pull out two guns while squatting (squat), and then he jump down the bar (triceps dip), and hit the floor…
