If you were on Mandatory a few weeks ago, you may have noticed our guide to the 10 Must-Haves for Every Bar. I got this idea after having one of the greatest cocktails I've ever had at a secret, hideaway bar in San Diego called "Noble Experiment." If you're ever in SD, you'll regret not having a nightcap (or three) at this speakeasy. Do a little research before you get there. They only take reservations via text and email. So what was that cocktail I was raving about? It was called "Leaving Tijuana" and it was the perfect blend of spicy and citrusy. (Full disclosure: You have to like spicy cocktails if you're going to like the Leaving Tijuana.) And even better, it's simple to ...

For decades now, there has been an inherent wiring in people that has them constantly gravitating further towards idiocracy through their cable television. While it may seem normal to lay wastefully connected to the boob tube simply because everybody with a hangover does it for consecutive seasons of "Game of Thrones," cable is, in fact, not something we need. As consumers, we are constantly fed ideas of material importance for things that add little to no value to the quality of our daily lives or self-worth. Just as silly as big, shiny diamonds being held as measuring sticks for a person's love and devotion to their spouse is the belief that cable is something we cannot live without ...
Some people just can't resist, others apparently don't know better. All of them should. This week, The Independent revealed that three police offers were fired in recent years for mouthing off on Facebook with "offensive, intimidating content," including racist and homophobic rants. In recent years, the media has repeatedly documented employees' actions on Facebook that led to a firing. A couple other examples: the woman who called her boss a scumbag in a posting, and the workers who 'planked' on a helicopter pad – during work hours. In certain cases the firing feels justified (overt racism) but in others, not so much. In any case, common sense ought to guide the way employed (and ...
To quote Macklemore & Ryan Lewis' "Thrift Shop," now the longest running No. 1 rap song in Billboard's history, "Savin' my money and I'm hella happy that's a bargain, b**ch." The deal hunter's mindset applies to anywhere you can save a buck or fifty. And it doesn't matter if you're a comfortable professional or a student who's flat broke: you can make some small changes and save big. Macklemore is finally cashing in on his talent but according to Lewis, he's still "a f-ing thrifter." Lewis continued, "When we went on tour, I think he hit a thrift shop in at least 25 cities, which made the back of the tour bus literally into his closet." So we'll credit the rapper with the first money hack ...
