I mean, I don't like my job, but it's stable and cushy. It pays "well" but it's not going to make me "wealthy." Due to my family situation, walking away to pursue a risky, consuming, entrepreneurial dream, or even something that felt rewarding but required double the hours, would be really hard...

My dad had a string of electric candles that would beep out a few carols, on repeat, with accompanying choreographed blinks. He'd run that for a couple hours then switch to his beloved greatest classic Christmas hits cassette and play that a couple times. Every year, every day, starting when the...

Yeah, those are the ones. I heard these were the good ones so was pretty surprised.

I'm a bike noob. Recently picked up a Cannondale Synapse 105. Happy with it except the mechanical disc brakes. They're bad enough that I feel unsafe. The guys at the bike shop told me I needed to bed them in with some hard brakes. Tried it. The rear brake has gotten marginally better but the...

They bill themselves as a "bakery and cafe" but it's a glorified bodega that sells pantry items, drinks, and also sandwiches/pastries from a deli area. Everything in the deli/pastry area is premade. There is no seating. There is no custom ordering. If I stroll in to buy 3 beers from the cooler...

General store type place with a deli near me will flip the tablet around for a tip when you walk in and grab a couple beers and some cheese from the cooler. It's out of control.

Two weeks ago one of my friends was looking at his phone waiting for a train and was randomly pushed onto the subway tracks as a train was entering the station. Luckily, he managed to avoid the train. No mention in the news. Stay safe our there.

Me: Wow. How'd you slice up all that bread without getting crumbs everywhere? Wife: I didn't. I cleaned. up. after. myself. *the look* Me: I'll just see myself out.

I finally got the rona in October. Ran 5 miles in the morning and 3 days later I was out of breath walking up the stairs. Took a solid month to fully feel like myself again. Went out to eat and sat behind a guy who kept coughing. Figured there's no way he'd be out here like that without testing...

I swear if they restart this game without even confirming the guy is alive I might be done for good.

The picture quality blew me away at first but it hasn't seemed the same recently.

Redzone has destroyed my desire to watch any single game. Feels like watching 3 straight hours of commercials.

Is Zeke even trying?

I've started running/cycling again and now that I'm post-40 it feels like an uphill battle against injury rather than a battle to push myself. Constant shin/hip/ankle issues. I sat out all of August so my shin splints could heal and they came back after 1 ride. After a 5 mile run yesterday my...

Anyone know what's up with Harris?
