Just Because You Can Make Your Own Hand Sanitizer Doesn't Mean You Should

by Beth Skwarecki on Vitals, shared by Beth Skwarecki to Lifehacker

Well shit. I guess it was too good to be true.

Hand sanitizer is sold out everywhere. That’s just a fact of life right now. But there are plenty of DIY recipes out there so you can make your own, so I set out to test them. And then I ran into problems.

Kay Jewelers Releases An Even Fuglier Necklace

by Editor
Erin H

I died.

After years of “charming” Mickey Mouse pendants, diamond-encrusted dolphins, and engraved baby feet, Kay Jewelers has just released an even fuglier necklace than ever before.

 

“The necklace is part of our curvy heart looking thing collection,” explains the designer, Michelle Anderson. “We’ve had all these swoopy hearts but none of them were quite as hideously unrecognizable as we thought a heart could be. We really went over the top for this one.”

 

The new necklace, which includes a series of weird loops, can be custom engraved with the name of your mom and fitted with up to six gemstones including lab-created opal and lab-created sapphire.

“It’s really disgusting,” says Kay Jewelers CEO Mark Fawcett. “I mean look at this thing. It’s everything we wanted.”

 

 

So far the consumer reception has been positive.

 

“Oh my god! Look at this one! I need this in white gold immediately,” said 61-year-old Gloria Young of Fort Myers, viewing the new selection.

 

According to the company’s projections, the new necklace will have thousands of uncles rolling their eyes at the cost as they say, “For that?! Okay, fine but we’re postponing the cruise.”

Adult Men Shouldn't Skateboard

by Maria Sherman
Erin H

Fuck this bitch and her shit-ass opinions.

Adult men shouldn’t skateboard. Let’s try that again with a caveat: adult men who are amateurs shouldn’t skateboard. It is an extreme sporting activity that should reserved for teenage stoners, Tony Hawk, women and girls who could easily kick my ass and appear regularly in coffee table photography books about major…

Evacuees from are on a plane to the US. Should they be quarantined?

Erin H

OMG CALM DOWN. The coronavirus has a 3% mortality rate, which sounds super scary, but the current strains of influenza going around clock in at nearly 8% despite tons of folks being immunized. Stop scaring people on purpose, CNN.

Washington Post reinstates reporter who it suspended over Kobe Bryant tweets

Erin H

So women are not allowed to talk about rape when a rapist dies, or when he's good at his job? Golly, it seems like men would prefer we just not talk about rape at all! How strange.

A top editor at The Washington Post said Tuesday that a reporter who was suspended for tweets she posted in the immediate aftermath of Kobe Bryant's death had not violated the newspaper's social media policy. The reporter has been reinstated.

Amtrak almost charged a group $25k to travel with wheelchairs. A ticket usually costs $16

Erin H

I've been following this story (I have a moderate disability and also have a connection to the Access Living group) and am so glad Tammy Duckworth is involved now. How on earth can Amtrak say that it will cost them $25000 to remove some seats? Why would they need to take the ENTIRE CAR out of commission for everyone except the wheelchair users? Why don't they have modular seat configurations already - the ACA has been in place for 30 years! Even the buses in Chicago have modular seats that flip up to allow for wheelchair use. Everything about this is so infuriating. If this had happened to "regular" people instead of a disability advocacy group, would we even have heard about it?

A Chicago-based disability activist group won't have to pay $25,000 to get its members to a conference on Wednesday in Bloomington, Illinois, a trip that normally costs $16 a person each way.

Willie Nelson Quits Smoking Weed the Same Day Hell Freezes Over

by Joan Summers
Erin H

He has not said ANYTHING about giving up edibles. He's had some breathing problems lately, seems like a no brainer to stop smoking.

It’s the end of an era in the United States of America. As a mournful sky slowly gathers above New York City, and snow begins to blanket everything around us, please lower all flags to half mast. Then, gather all your friends and loved ones and light a blunt with them, because Willie Nelson isn’t smoking weed anymore!

This is one of my favorite TV shows of all time.

Having been rightfully put in my place for my wrongful hypothesis that the Veronica Mars reboot wouldn’t deliver (reader, it did), I feel comfortable cheering on the news that creator Rob Thomas might do some kind of revival for his other small screen masterpiece, Party Down. Thomas seems a little cagey on whether or…

What's the Most Basic-Ass Life Skill You Never Learned?

by Nick Douglas
Erin H

I can't whistle. Like at all, not just the fingers-in-the-mouth kind.
I also never learned how to French Braid, and I super regret it.

Twitter users recently admitted to the most basic things they never learned to do: blow up a balloon, whistle, wink, snap their fingers. Some people can’t tie their shoes or unscrew a cap without reciting a mnemonic. Some can’t tell time. Some could get lost in a hallway. We all skipped a day of basic-life-skill…
