I wonder how much being exposed to Paris's brilliant art culture inspired Tomic's overwhelming love for art. What kind of criminal might he have been in a more industrial city?

Do you listen to podcasts? Because MeUndies ads are on every NPR podcast out there.

Why don't you... make your own lunch?

So where's the game developers' union?

If you think New Yorkers don't need the subway after 9am or at night, you're deeply mistaken.

Nah, all Japan would need to do is teach abstinence-only education.

My grocery store has a delivery service. The store is often full of employees dashing through the aisles tossing random crap in their carts to fulfil delivery orders. These guys are being paid minimum wage. I'm not surprised by the high rate of incorrect orders.

This is essentially the story of Supreme.

I do not believe this. Or if your friend WAS sued, I wouldn't be surprised if the case was thrown out.

Why IS post-office pickup such a pain? I wish Amazon would just set up reception in post-offices across the US. :|

Wtf? Are people stealing them to eat? To sell? I mean, I have a small amount of sympathy if someone needs to feed their family and can't afford food, but if someone is just trying to make $10, that's really sad.

Now THAT is cold-blooded.

Lots of people at my gym love it! It's so easy to use since they deliver to the gym.

This is old data and I don't trust it.

Name a single city in the US that has a better one.

NYC doesn't compare to Europe or Asia, of course, but it's streets ahead of anything else in the US.

*Note: there is SO MUCH wrong with the MTA and the NYC subway system, but it's currently the best in the country, unfortunately.

Chewing gum also helps to minimize crying while cutting onions.

Fascinating summary, but the comments got really nasty with people throwing around some pretty cruel terms for women. :|

In the "about" section it explains that he approaches people who are using their phones, and then asks them to remove the phones and pose as if they were using their phones.

He must have met a ton of people on this project, which is really cool.

Moby popularized this myth but re-steeping tea does nothing to reduce a tea's caffeine.

Well, data point of one here: my partner is an Asian man and I'm black ;)

And what decade were you in NYC? Because the F train of the past ten years is constantly overcrowded, delayed nearly every day, and often out of service on the weekends.

I'd love to see another version of this study performed at UCLA. Unlike New York, California has a huge and highly culturally-integrated Asian population.

> Yang is setting the bar rather high for himself.

That's precisely the point!

> If one could voluntarily embrace this process, would this make opioids less necessary and/or desirable?

It certainly would, but "embracing" the process of pain is an enormous mental and physical challenge.

Entire religions, for example, are devoted to separating the mind from the experience of the body. But this takes years of conscious effort.

Why on earth would your doctor say that to you? He or she didn't even suggest there might be the possibility of walking?

I'm so very glad you ignored your doctor, but I wonder how many people out there didn't and never even tried to walk again after complex knee surgery.

In the US, absolutely. In other countries, not so much.

This is certainly true, but Indian cooking is a commitment. You need to have several spices on hand (turmeric, cumin seeds, mustard seed, both coriander seed and powder, fenugreek, kashmiri chili, cinnamon bark, asafoetida, a decent garam masala, fresh or frozen curry leaves); you will need to understand how to grind these spices and then temper them in oil or ghee; you will need to have a variety of legumes (split dried chickpeas, split dried mung bean, red lentils); you will also need basmati rice and yogurt; you might like to have tamarind and mango pickle; you will need the ability to constantly mash together ginger, garlic, and fresh chili; you must have the capacity to finely chop onions.

Indian food has subtleties, and it's not easy for the beginner.

Maybe I wasn't able to use cannabis moderately enough, but as my tolerance grew and I had to take more and more to feel the effects, my depression and anxiety got much, much worse.

Nothing wrong with that kind of diet for people without a genetic predisposition for diabetes (or lactose intolerance) and who are otherwise eating moderately.

It's a real publication that does tend to hire a lot of early-twenties writers who I have to assume aren't getting paid much.
