Road warriors, your luggages aren't safe even with TSA-approved locks

"I'll be damned," was what I said when I watched this video. I will try this out on luggages at home.

For now, some tips that come to mind when traveling:

1. No valuables on checked-in bags. Always hand-carry tech gadgets, jewelry, credit cards and cash.
2. It may be useful to tape the zippers so that if it was tampered, you would have proof. But then again, lost stuff in these baggages are not a responsibility of the airport nor the carrier.
3. Extreme: put your luggage inside a bigger luggage!

What's up with men and the "silent treatment"?

A lady posted this question on the only online forum that I visit. Very good question, I have to say.

The first answer on the thread makes sense. I should know:

We're hard-wired that way. We try and avoid the confrontation (the big talk) where the risk of saying unkind words is high. We process the hurt internally hoping it will go away in a matter of hours or days. I shouldn't really worry about it — usually, we're also the first one to initiate the reconciliation after we're done brooding.

But that isn't usually the case. Another member posted a proverb:

All talk, all mistake

Less talk, less mistake

No talk, no mistake!

Kind of simplistic, really. But if you want a quick answer to the question, that would work. But the thing is, and let's be honest...

It could be that he's thinking about:

Why the Lakers had such a bad offseason (or the Celtics or the Heat - you HAVE to know which one)

Whether to wait for the iPad 3 or buy the 2 now

Whether Ferrari can produce a good car for the next season

What his boss said yesterday

When the barkada will get together

How that chick in the other department is getting hotter

I'm trying to be helpful here. It's not always about you. He might have started thinking about you, but he'll have likely moved to other thoughts. We're not as focused as you are. Just be patient and try to reengage later.

Sad but true.

You know what, ladies, just settle with this one.

Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

About

“Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?” is a trainwreck of English grammar that first appeared as a reply post on 4chan’s /v/ board and subsequently spread across the rest of 4chan boards as well as other popular sites. Once this indecipherable phrase gained a solid foothold on 4chan and YouTube, it began to disseminate across other internet forums and social networks, including Twitter and Facebook (See Photos for Screenshots).

Background

The reply post, which read “Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?”, first appeared under a discussion thread about an upcoming Wii game called The Conduit. The original post featured a YouTube video of someone playing the beta version of the game and a short review about Nintendo’s latest release.

Both Intrigued and stupefied by its utter lack of coherence, 4chan users began making reply posts either in an attempt to decipher the phrase or to simply instigate the ridiculous phenomenon. Social networking sites were no exception to this 4chan flood material; the phrase became widespread and mild lulz ensued on Twitter as well as YouTube.

Popular Derivatives/Responses

After extensive flooding of the phrase on several popular websites, a witty user finally made a decent response:

“You’ve got to be kidding me. I’ve been further even more decided to use even go need to do look more as anyone can. Can you really be far even as decided half as much to use go wish for that? My guess is that when one really been far even as decided once to use even go want, it is then that he has really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like. It’s just common sense.”

Meaning

Original:

“Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

Rephrased:

“Has anyone really decided as to even go that far in wanting to do to look more like so?”

Deciphered:

“Has any video game company really taken such measure to make a game so realistic?"
