Don't forget abortion.

Sorry, too busy. I need to optimize the ROI of that piece of dirt you are standing on so I can increase the value of my derivative trades before the second quarter stockholder meeting.

I learned from America's Test Kitchen to look at the ingredients. If the first ingredient is tomato paste or tomato concentrate, pass. If it is tomatoes, it will probably be fine. Although usually this means a more expensive jar, there are plenty of expensive/fancy looking jars that don't pass this test.

That said, Del Grosso's has a premium line with "Aunt Mary Anne's Marinara". It is our go-to and far and away the best I've tried.

I have had good luck installing Gallium OS on a Chromebook for my daughter, so you might look at some of the Chromebook tablet/detachable keyboard options. Just make sure the model you get is supported.

Independence Day. That shot of the White House being obliterated was amazing at the time.

Yes, you will be safe from hurricanes while you are baked alive by global warming.

When I read this, I thought, "Is Lawrence Greenspoon the Canadian version of Alan Greenspan?"

This feels like "the ultra wealthy have already squeezed all the money they can out of the poor and lower middle class, so now they are starting to cannibalize the merely wealthy."

I know the wealthy don't see this directly, but if it keeps the machinery of government running so they can continue to benefit and they can mine it out through subsidies and backroom graft.

I am not saying that these millionaires shouldn't get targeted for not paying their taxes, but the IRS should start at the top and work their way down.

That is one of those right angle bolts for getting into tight places. Hang onto it because they cost about $15 each new. It is specially made to transfer the torque from the head around the 90 degree bend. Just line it up with the nut, slap a driver on there and go to town. I promise, it will be amazing and nothing bad will happen.

I finally got fed up with Evernote's increasingly aggressive paid upgrade requests. It would flash an "upgrade special" every time it opened and a followup, "Are you sure? You won't be able to get back to this offer". Like, please, let me not get back to the offer ever again.

I have been using Joplin with Dropbox sync. The UI is pretty good on Android and windows. Markdown input is easy to manage, it does checklists well (you can check and uncheck the boxes without going in to edit the note). The folder structure for organizing notes is good.

Not being able to share notes with other users is the main limitation. My wife and I have solved this by syncing with one dropbox account on with phones and computers and just having a folder for each or our personal notes plus the shared notes. But really it is all shared. I don't consider this ideal, but it's workable for now.

The dropbox sync is kind of slow / not very good if multiple people are making edits in real time, but I had this problem with Evernote too.

I think you can get more functionality out of the Joplin cloud sync, but I am already paying for Dropbox.

I used to live in Houston, and I always tell people it is a strip mall the size of Rhode Island.

I know what you meant, but now I am imagining a giant yellow dildo in each space to stop the car.
