That does seem… odd. I’ve been enjoying mushrooms multiple times a year for 22 years. I’ve been around a lot of other people doing mushrooms. On fire lookouts. Rooftops. High in the mountains of Oregon, Washington, and Colorado. And I hav

Hard disagree. What are some obvious opposites - fat/skinny, smart/dumb, rich/poor, short/tall, crazy/not crazy… does anyone really think the greater the distance between those qualities the stronger the attraction,

You should read that article about how y’all got duped into buying diamonds as tokens of your love. It’s enlightening. And… I mean… we have (thank Satan) done away with swearing on bibles in all nations and all but a few backwater states in

Surely it does - the fact that most people—or large numbers of people—are still incapable of distinguishing between when they are exchanging their dollars for something that has no value beyond the hype behind it and making good financial d

What a great opportunity to re-share one of my favorite articles: https://priceonomics.com/diamonds-are-bullshit/ I really can’t think of an example better than people buying shiny rocks for absurd amounts of money tha

Counterpoint of 1 - for me, a morning Red Bull has the same deuce-inducing result as coffee. Both have higher amounts of caffeine than a Coke.

As long as we’re throwing out random theories, I submit he is just a cocksure asshole who still thinks he’ll get away with his scam based on who mommy, daddy, and their friends are. Pardon the language, but I think it is the most apt.

I imagine “connoisseurs” would try to disagree, but Mr Coffee makes a legitimately decent all-in-one machine for $230 - the One Touch CoffeeHouse. I mostly drink lattes and while they are not as frothy and airy as one from an actual coffee

I litigated mesothelioma cases and our experts were paid $600-$1,100/hr, depending on the expert. $1,000 is high but not unheard of. What’s really wild is, in addition to prep time, they get paid that from the second they cross the thr

This is a fun blog. It reminds me of old sites like Fuck Yeah Mens Wear, that smartly poked fun at consumerism. These days such pages seem to get commercialized and soul-crushed so quickly we hardly get time to appreciate them.

My understanding is that bacon itself is not the culprit of the possible (note — possible) carcinogen. The sodium nitrate that is often used as a preservative is. Nitrate-free bacon is easy to find though.

Can’t reply to the comment below inquiring about odor, but people smoking crack are easy to spot as you don’t roll crack in a cigarette, you smoke it out of a heated glass pipe. It looks entirely different. So it’s easy to notice when done

Not directly funded by tax payers… the exceptional tax breaks that oil companies have received from our shat government are astronomical.

Unadorned popped kernels are relatively low calorie, I think - 3 cups is less than 100 calories. Popcorn is also a decent source of roughage.

Popcorn is a magnificent flavor-vehicle! My personal favorite is to melt salt, ginger, and sugar in butter and toss the popcorn in that tasty mixture. Or just douse the popped-kernels in sriracha.

It’s odd in that there appears to be only a small handful of countries that do this. North Korea this year isn’t odd compared to North Korea last year, but sure is odd compared to any democratic nation.

The same was said of the iPad and Apple Watch… this may be their big miss, but based on the reviews I’ll keep betting on Apple.

I was so tired when I posted I didn’t notice I omitted a word from the lyrics: “This light looks good on you, morning came early. Sitting on a park bench that’s older than my country.”

The article reminds me of one of my favorite lines in one of my favorite songs, Absinthe Party at the Fly Honey Warehouse by Minus the Bear: “This light looks on you, morning came early. Sitting on a park bench that’s older than my country.

People have been saying this and it has been happening; it sounds like you may be unfamiliar with how many jobs are regularly shifted overseas: “Since Trump’s inauguration on 20 January 2017 to 31 July 2020, over 308,000 workers have been c

I don’t believe there’s a limit to the number of charges in an indictment… I know I have seen 100+ count charging instruments (for credit card fraud).

The way the Chinese government talks about things tends to not be that accurate. The Uyghurs are not terrorists. They are an ethnic minority that is being terrorized and subjected to genocide by the Chinese government. Edit: spelling

I’m not sure where this notion came from, but it is not true. You can page through all the Ultras and see that the top 3 finishers are, more often than not, men. Women are more competitive vs men compared to other sporting events, and occas

Car UIs are just overly complex, poorly oriented, and full of cruft these days. Look up the UI of ‘96 Toyota Camry and you’ll see the pinnacle of efficiency. I could manipulate everything I needed to without taking my eyes off the road afte

In law this is often couched as ‘retribution’ vs ‘rehabilitation’. I’ve been out of law school for over a decade, but about ten years ago pretty much all the evidence was the retributive prisons/legal systems were awful (created more r
