Who in their right mind lets their 7-year-old brat rule over their lives like that?! The only answer to “are you staying upstairs?” is “you’d better stay in your room.”

I did this after both my Travelpro and my Samsonite carry-ons developed flat spots on their wheels that made them embarrassingly loud to drag around (“CLACK CLACK CLACK CLACK!”). After switching them to inline skate wheels, they both glided so smoothly and silently that I went ahead and swapped out the wheels on the

Whatever they’re calling themselves, their one-handed interception was awesome enough that it won Wisconsin over.

Clearly you’re a fan of more well-done, American-style scrambled eggs, with solid curds that holds their shape; that’s usually my go-to as well.

100%. I use my car’s nav for any drive longer than 20 minutes so it can route me around especially-hairy traffic. It uses Google maps and Waze traffic info, and comes up with some pretty ingenious routes.

Man, it never fails: those Neue Klasse/02 Bimmers give me the hearing-a-song-that-gets-you-in-the-feels/seeing-the-Grand-Canyon-for-the-first-time tingles. Great pics of a beautiful car!

Yep - preordered a jet black 256GB 7 Plus. I tried Android for a year, unfortunately it was a Galaxy S6 edge with Samsung’s bloated, buggy version of Android...plus AT&T replaced it twice, but it still has battery life and overheating issues. I’m primarily going back to the iPhone so I can get rid of this stupid thing.

The Boeing 777 is still under development, slated to start flying in 2020.

Reading the article is especially important here. When I initially saw the headline, I thought it meant you should run prospective neighborhoods by your coworkers, the nice receptionist who gives you a heads up before putting leftover muffins in the break room, the IT help desk staff, the perpetually-hungover summer

Check the bottoms of some of your nicer suitcases, between the wheels. There will probably be a hard plastic “skid plate”of sorts protecting the edge between the wheels, and it will often have a handle-like indentation molded into it - that’s what the baggage handler is referring to.

In either of those situations, you should make yourself appear larger by raising your arms above your head, or raising a jacket or shirt, until the hotel staff offers a room upgrade, or at least complementary breakfast for the duration of your stay.

I didn’t read it that way - I interpreted this advice as being targeted not to the lifelong workaholic, but to the otherwise normal person who has to handle a temporary stretch of work-related crunch time.

After getting my first Android phone last year (Galaxy S6 edge) and discovering the joy that is Quick Charge 2.0, I stocked up on cheap Aukey QC2-compatible stuff: 4-port charger for the bedroom, 2-port charger to keep at work, single-port charger to stash in my laptop bag, single-port 12V for the car, and a 6000mah

You’re getting flamed for your comment, but I’m with you. I used my last hair brush for 15 years - it was pretty grotty by the end. So just last month, I threw it away and picked up a new one for $4.99 from the grocery store’s hair care aisle...I was there to pick up other stuff anyway, so there was no extra time or

Boom, second paragraph right there. You have a gift.

I think I just found my next cover letter.

I’m sure plenty do; in my volunteer experiences at a massive university research hospital (I say this because I’d assume a place that huge & flush would have the most scrubs variety), when I actually had to use the machines, they only had S-XL. If you wanted big/tall or petite, you were on your own.

I have a friend who’s a doctor, and he used to get scrubs dispensed from a vending machine in his hospital. I asked him once if he would grab me some and he said he would, but then he didn’t. YOU OWE ME A PAIR OF SCRUBS, BILLY. We should have scrub vending machines out in the street, available to the general public.

Very well played.

Beautifully written. Also 100% true - the Blackwing 602 is, far and away, the best pencil on the market today.
