“Modern” medicine is scarily built on lots of untested theories like this. And that goes double for theories about what women should be doing for pregnancy and childbirth, menopause, etc., etc. Time to demand robust studies to back up any recommendations our clinicians give us. If they can’t show that these are…

I would not ignore them. I would immediately report them to my Attorney General’s consumer protection division, while reminding the dealer that “a deal is a deal.” If not one reports this kind of behavior it will continue.

Came here to make the same point. This guy is so male-centric in his perspective that even his “expert” analysis of older women’s sexuality is 180 degrees out of whack (pun intended). I guess he slept through the 1970s when the saying “women need a man like fish need a bicycle” was invented to help explain that we…

Integers have genders and personalities for me. Most even numbers are female (but not 8s and 10s). The number 9 is not a very nice person. Six is maternal. seven somewhat paternal. BTW I’ve always scored very high on math aptitude.

My state is missing, as usual. We have kids up here in Alaska, too (and in Hawaii).

Where I live (Alaska), “morning flights” leave between 11 PM and 2 AM. That’s also the busiest time at the airport. The flights are seldom late leaving for the Lower 48, but by the time I make my way across the continent, delays often happen. And there’s nothing I can do about it. We don’t have enough people to…

Those bulkhead seats have been monetized into premium seats by all airlines I know of (even Alaska Airlines, which used to be the hold-out here in the USA).

Uh, don’t you find you need to recharge if you are watching the movie on a non-tiny, HD display? Also, some of us have to work, using laptops, during those long flights. And sometimes I arrive at the plane with my phone etc. depleted due to being in an ancient US airport with one power outlet per 100 people.

Some of us live at high latitudes where there is little natural daylight many months of the year. This also means our flights are long, in my case spanning several time zones to most places I go. Getting above the clouds into bright sunshine feels wonderful to me and helps me reset my body clock for my new timezone.…

I came here for prophylactics, not prophylaxis!!!

Yes, but a slice or two of red onion and a leaf of non-Yuma Romaine makes it even besser!

This story was written and published by people who lack critical thinking skills. Processed food involves lots of waste, too. It’s just that the inedible parts (bones, broccoli stumps, etc.) get thrown out at the processing plant, not at home.

Rapid caffeine metabolizers like me. We need a hit every 5 minutes to maintain stead state serum caffeine concentrations.

I got a candle warmer about 10 years ago, for less than a “specialized” coffee mug warmer, and it worked great. Ultimately, though, I upgraded to a 5-cup Bonavita brewer that allows me to place the conical filter holder directly on my double-walled stainless steel mug. I’m a sipper (rapid caffeine metabolizer based on…

What surprises me is that this is happening under the most pro-business, anti-consumer administration since before Teapot Dome. I sure hope whoever at the FTC finally got around to enforcing a law that’s been on the books since 1975 doesn’t up and retire so the agency can go back to ignoring it.

I’m on a private well with delicious, but very hard water. I use vinegar to remove scale from things sometimes, but more often use food grade citric acid powder in solution. Unlike white vinegar, CA has no odor. I bought a bag of it on Amazon. I add a small amount to a wine glass with pesky red wine stains on the…

Here in Alaska, it’s shoes off in everyone’s house. Same in Hawai’i, but easier because they just wear slippahs.

This works: https://greenhealthycooking.com/instant-pot-rice/ Note the 1:1 rice:water ration no matter what kind of rice. The only variable is cook time (including cool down time).

Do your research: the active ingredient in Tylenol PM, other than the non-NSAID analgesic acetaminophen, *is* the sedating antihistamine diphenhydramine. Which is the same thing as Benadryl! Anyone who pays extra for Tylenol PM, or even “name brand” Benadryl, is a fool. Generic diphenhydramine is like a penny a pill.…
