Beauty in the book is more than skin deep...don't judge a book by it's cover or format.

As a woman who doesn't like the price difference either, I'm more bothered right now for the "For a two-thirds less of the product!" Is it really so hard to make the correct decision of either "one-third less" or "For two-thirds the amount"? (or more accurately 5/7 as there is a blade on the razors beyond the refill cartridges)

I feel sad for Americans 12 comments

There was also, in the last year or two if I remember correctly [it is still ongoing - some reasons why ashp.org/menu/DrugShortages/CurrentShortages/bulletin.aspx?id=993] a major shortage of sterile saline. Just because something is "simple" doesn't make it easy to get. It takes almost a month to make a batch of saline.

Most of the key years/milestones are early in life: Driving, graduation from various levels of schools, legal adult, voting, drinking, then there is usually a "oh no 30/40/whatever" then senior citizen status, and retirement age, but in the middle there's no need to bring up your age on a regular basis, and if you're like most people it's less of a big to-do rather than a low key birthday dinner if any sort of celebration.

Is there a Middle Eastern/Asian restaurant that gives you delicious dates after your meal?!? With a long kabob stick you could get everyone elses' too!

A yeast doughnut like these ones smush down to nothing (easy to bite through), two whole bagels as a bun would make this impossible (or nearly impossible) to bite through.

Keeping hyperactive kids busy 11 comments
guest · 9 years ago
There was an article recently where a teacher did this for her whole class in elementary/middle school, the devices have no resistance so, properly maintained, they are silent. She applied to grants and whatnot to try and purchase them. I believe the teacher also allows yoga balls or fidget balls as seats. There are additional things like Bouncy Bands which are like rubber bands with special things to keep them up, and obviously heavy duty, that you can bounce your feet on without making noise so kids can get their wiggles out. Lots of attempts to help kids with lots of energy who have PE/Recess cut down time and time again to allow for standardized testing preparation and test taking.

Good god no! Yes the two primary candidates are terrible, even the little contenders still in the race aren't great, but if it's a vote for anything it's a vote for new options, not a third term of current. Term limits were put in place for a good reason, even people who would have easily won had they an option for a third term, were not granted additional time in power. The founding fathers did not want a monarch, they wanted an elected leader, it's bad enough that there are lifelong politicians, no granting twelve years of any individual as the leader of our country.

Mialinay it is "Shah Cheragh" in Iran. If ever you want to know what something is when someone's only posted an image, try Google's image search (google > Images > Click the little camera icon right beside the searchbox > Paste the URL of the image (or upload an image). For things like this one it works really well, sometimes it's not as great but it's easy and fast.

eh... is it okay to starve this time? 17 comments
guest · 9 years ago
Yes it's still about the election - the two main parties are the terrible cakes, and the minor third parties (Green, Libertarian) are the mini cupcakes.
Empty calories - they say what they want to get votes but it's all fluff and no substance said to win those votes and appeal to the donors.
Etc.
Though I'm pretty sure a couple of the comments are really about cake, not politicians.

How are people thinking this is real - very photoshopped look above her right eyebrow, scalps do not indent like that, the top of her head would be pale from low sun exposure (due to hair), etc.
Nair smells terrible ("fresh scent is definitely a lie), and Nair burns like you lathered your head with honey and stuck it near a bunch of fire ants, it definitely wouldn't have done this in the amount of time you leave shampoo on your head/she realized something was wrong.

Went into BK this past weekend, saw the poster for these, asked the guy at the register how they were he said pretty good. No. No a million times. He lied. They taste like salt and chemicals, no delicious cheesy flavor, horrible. Save your tastebuds and avoid.

Let's just elect Bill Gates 13 comments
guest · 9 years ago
Bill Gates:
He doesn't need the money (from post presidency speaking arrangements, regular pay isn't great but he doesn't need that either)
He gets progress done - he uses his money and demands progress/results before giving or giving more
He's recognizable so people could honestly go to vote have Clinton, Trump, and Gates and go "No, No, ehhh better than the other two I wonder what he stands for"
He's got a mind for economics and a passion for bettering people's lives
Say what you want about Microsoft, they are reasonably priced and didn't have to be

Truckers unite 7 comments
guest · 9 years ago
Do you honestly think people who drive like that even consider slowing down? You give them too much credit. Even, unlikely even, if they did the trucks would just slow down, the caption says very long, slow traffic jam - so it's more likely it took the hour and a half to go a couple miles and he was stuck in there.

Apparently he cleared the railing and fell the ~15 feet into the enclosure. If you've ever been around a four year old you would know they have almost no fear, are very fast, and very creative in how to get what they want.

Exactly how I feel being socially liberal but fiscally conservative (and no I'm not deluded enough to think an alternate party/independent would win a presidential election, otherwise we'd have a better third option than write in right now).
Bill Gates has been the greatest philanthropist of all time 8 comments
guest · 9 years ago
Even better than just giving money - he requires success. The Gates Foundation will give money to those that have won the funding but demand results to continue getting additional allotments. Just throwing money is rarely a solution - evaluation and results requirements make a world of difference.

They must have either hired very cheap labor or had amazing amounts of free time to waste on that - it looks great but that would take so very long.
The most annoying thing that new parents do 9 comments

As mentioned, important in pediatrics. But also frustrating when shopping for clothes and (in my experience) 24 month clothes are smaller than 2t (2year old toddler), so well intentioned gift givers are deceived.

My unpopular opinion but... 76 comments

"3. Why the fuck do we say black? Thank for erasing my identity of Native and African American(with some Haitian in) and putting me in a bucket full of people who are completely different from me. "
Because that's what we do for all groups - White, Black, Native American, etc. - if someone who lives in the US has parents from Cuba and is also black they are not African American, if anything they are Cuban American, just as using the term "African American" would include Charlize Theron. There will never be a perfect system, but using those groups helps with demographics and useful things like anticipated health risks - it's not saying you as a unique individual need to disregard your heritage. Just as a library catalogs books as fiction vs sci fi vs romance vs young adult, etc., the book isn't necessarily just the main category without any of the others mixed in, but if you're searching for a type of book that genre categorization will point you in the right direction.

If you don't put the warning then it is considered poisoning someone, even if they are stealing your food to do it (-_-) Just like the people who break into a house to steal, get hurt, then sue the owner. Stupid. Very very stupid. But it is unfortunately how things work.

They used to be relatively easy to find in larger cities (and German markets), since they became restricted not so much, and some of us are rather opposed, when trying to give one as a gift, to either declaring them and having them taken at the border or not declaring and being given hundreds of dollars in fines for "smuggling."

Did not recognize that they stopped putting the toys in the cereal but that makes sense (as much as this stupidity can), but makes me wonder how they aren't losing their minds over Kings Cakes every Fat Tuesday.

Only if you're getting small, low fat, sparse toppings, otherwise it's basically the same (or worse) in calories, sugar, and fat. Frozen yogurt is to yogurt as ice cream (or as Bryers and the like are doing to save money and cutting back on cream "Frozen Dairy Dessert") is to milk

Seriously? People are falling over themselves to praise Tom Hiddleston on Tumblr for doing basically the same thing with Emma Watson at some award thing add two (I assume - if they're MTV-esque I would not know them) random people and it's suddenly embarrassing?
