Ever go to a bar and wonder what the words “neat”, “straight up”, “on the rocks” or “with a twist” mean?
If you have, then you’re in luck, because Jeffrey Morgenthaler is here to help you sort them out. (And apparently they’re confusing for both sides of the bar, so don’t feel bad.)
The short version is as follows:
Neat: Right out of the bottle. Up: Chilled, and served in a cocktail glass. Straight Up: Usually means “neat”, but check first. Twist: A thin strip of citrus peel. Default is lemon.

The Pickle Sickle is a frozen pop (similar to an Otter Pop) that’s made from 100% pickle parts, and it’s apparently healthy in addition to being tasty (or so they say).

With a bit of clever menu manipulation, you can finally force your Mac to show the date in your menubar using System Preferences.
In System Preferences, open International and go to the Formats tab.
Next to Dates, click the Customize button. Arrange your date in the format you want to appear on your menubar. Use the down arrows on each element to choose between formats. (January, Jan, 01, 1, etc.)
Now, select the entire date format and copy it to your clipboard (Cmd+A, Cmd+C). Hit OK.
Hit the Customize button next to Times. Choose the “Medium” format.
Paste the date format on your clipboard next to the time format, and hit OK. You’re done!
It’s not exactly easy, but it works, so there’s now no excuse for not knowing the date.
