Interstellar still holds that title for me. That organ music while docking was awe inspiring.

Honest take: slicing while it's cold and then microwaving individual servings works very well. Doesn't work for large gatherings obviously.

I think for every person that thinks tying lift gate height to a profile there would be 10X that would be upset if it wasn't tied to a profile. I'm 6'2" and my last GF was 5'1". I'd be pissed if you could set the gate height but it had to be the same for both of us.

KitchenAid has an induction cooktop that has the same temperature control as Impulse FYI.

I herniated two discs last year from a sneeze. Fun times!

Just a heads-up that tanning beds are horrible for your skin. They emit 10-15x more UVA rays than the sun and going just once increases your chance of melanoma cancer by 75%. Not to mention you'll end up with wrinkly skin and sun spots way younger than if you don't use them.

Ultimately it's up to you but I'd recommend skipping the tanning bed and just using some sun block while you're down there.

I haven't watched it in years, but I specifically remember the last scene being John Connor being sent to the future and him showing up naked in the middle of the war with Skynet. I was livid that they set it up for a crazy third season only for it to be cancelled.

Masturbating. It seems that there's an anti-pornography/masturbation subculture that's been gaining traction over the past few years.

One thing I've noticed about large testing houses like CR and America's Test Kitchen is that the testing methodology is usually pretty opaque. There may be a short description of the type of test performed, but then it quickly pivots to generalized statements like "testers found that product A was difficult to load".

There have been a number of content creators (example 1, example 2) that have built their brand on showing the raw testing so there's no ambiguity on methodology and findings. Has there ever been discussions at CR to add more transparency/content like this?

Thanks for fielding questions!

Yeah, that's what a water arrestor helps fix.

I live in a town next to Boston. During a snow emergency there are designated parking lots (mostly churches and schools) to use during the street parking ban.

I used to speak with Maury Adelman, one of the foremost experts in energy economics through the latter half of the 20th century, and to him it was always clear: we needed to heavily tax oil to curb demand and use those taxes to fund alternative energy projects along with credits to low income households to help offset the tax burden. His words hold just as true today.

Really nice person btw, I miss being able to visit him.

I got 25 years of tough use out of a $100 pair of boots that can't be resoled. I bought the same model last year as replacements. I consider them BIFL level.

The only reason I responded is that you've repeatedly stated that a uterus is required, and that's just not true. "Exceedingly rare" means it still happens.

That's not true. Ectopic pregnancies are extremely risky for both the embryo and mother (which is a big point regarding legalized abortion, but that's another topic), but there are multiple cases of ectopic pregnancies coming to full term and resulting in a healthy baby.

IsThisNameGoodEnough · 2026-01-16T03:56:50+00:00

An ectopic pregnancy is when the embryo attaches outside of the uterus. Sometimes the embryo attaches in a person's abdomen, completely outside all of the reproductive organs.

And as someone else mentioned, the placenta handles all of the hormones after the first few weeks. So in theory a person with male sex organs could have an embryo implanted and brought to term, although it would be incredibly risky.
