You can block callers in recent versions of iOS as well, but I think the majority of people who are going to be subjected to these calls are getting them on their landlines. Blocking numbers at your phone service provider is never so simple

I'm not very interested in what you believe, actually. My point—which is that the way people subsisted on the Kentucky frontier 200 years ago would probably not have been congruent with Pollan's idyllic notion of the good food gra

My data is generations of my own family living in the same place, where I have also lived functionally my whole life, about which I think I'm allowed a little introspection in this casual discussion without having to cite some manner o

There are also good banks that, unlike USAA, most people can actually join with minimum hassle. CapOne360 and Ally have both done me very well, no connections needed.

This is a great point. My great-great-great grandmother lived in Martin County, Kentucky, most likely ate mostly cornbread and string beans in fatback her whole life, and never saw quinoa or kale so long as she lived before dying in childbi

It's probably not worth getting bogged down in the details when it comes to Pollan's polemics, but in my (admittedly limited) understanding the whole point of GoGurt is that it's less thick than ordinary yogurt, so you can su

It's not "book burning", it's just the routine collection maintenance that goes on in every library, every day. These books are usually given away or sold for pocket change, so "burning" really isn't apt e

"Lessig said he would serve as president only as long as it takes to pass a package of government reforms" So in other words four years, eight if he gets re-elected. Awfully roundabout way of saying that....

I'll just drive an hour to the nearest farmer's market, hoping they're actually open according to their loose-at-best schedule, also hoping there's something on offer that I can/want to eat. To desire anything more

I'm certainly in the minority, but as much as I have enjoyed using the Apple Music trial, I doubt I'll stick around when it's over because unlike Spotify and Rdio, I still can't scrobble to Last.fm with Apple Music.

Can you elaborate? The Perfumed Court is a great place to find decants of fragrances that you may or may not want to buy a full bottle of.

it's hard to argue that any of those groups are truly "unbent" outside of very narrow, precarious and conditional contexts.

some of these comments are baloney, e.g.: "This country is the only one I know in which 'popularity' or 'coolness' are even concepts for middle and high school -age adolescents. There is something seriously, deeply

Here's a theory: people who buy McNuggets on their own to eat as a meal for 1 to 3 people want to buy 20. The 10-piece is for combo meals, with fries and a soda; it's on the menu because if they have a 10-piece McNuggets box for t

Probably for the same reason your TV/car/washer-dryer/digital watch/whatever is ugly and overloaded with "features" you never use: they cost nothing to tack on, and people will pay more for it.

There are heavy human costs, too, when you consider that mining and oil extraction can leave their laborers handicapped and often dependent on the welfare system, and when it becomes unprofitable to extract from a given area, these companie

Then your problem is with the corporate office, and not individual salespeople who don't need to be reminded that they're being obsoleted by online shopping, and who can't do anything about it even if you do.

Whether it occurred to her or not, she most likely has absolutely nothing to do with Sears' inventory decisions, so I don't understand what the need of saying something like that is.
