I’m 63 and still have two of my 3rd molars (16 & 17), with no problems, even though I have a very small mouth. The two on the other side were coming in sideways, undermining the roots of their next door neighbors, so I had them extracted when I was in my early 30s. I like my medical decisions to be based on evidence,…

At almost 5 pounds, it’s pretty heavy for backpacking. Maybe OK for car camping or canoeing etc. I’m a long-time REI member and some of their products are great, but I prefer Big Agnes products for summer backpacking — more expensive, but far, far lighter. If you need a more substantial tent, you probably also need a…

If you can’t taste the bitterness in tonic water, you probably don’t carry the TAS2R38 taste receptor gene.  I do. 

“It is literally impossible for a beverage to be both bitter and refreshing.”  Tell it to all the people (me included) who love IPAs and gin and tonics.

So, you’re probably also not a fan of the WiFi enabled toilet paper roll holders I just got for my 3.5 bathrooms at Chez Sinic? But without that functionality, how else would I know that the guest bath was down to just 10 sheets? Instead, I can wake up and start my day by looking at my phone and immediately putting…

Vulva, vulva, vulva, vulva.

Correction (I’m going to keep commenting until you folks get it right): “Subscribers of Amazon Prime are eligible for free one- or two-day shipping on most purchases IF THE DELIVERY ADDRESS IS LOCATED IN THE LOWER 48 STATES . . .” 

A lot. And when I travel, I like to keep things simple, just as I do when I spend time off the grid. Which I do, a lot.

You do realize that the TSA is now banning largish quantities of powdered substances from carry-ons?  Bad timing for this product.

Which is also quite ironic, because the Irish were the great illiterate unwashed masses no one wanted in this country from the mid 1800s through the Depression. Pretty typical for a member of an ethnic group formerly on the lowest rung of society to want to gain self-esteem by stepping on another group’s neck. What’s…

Moral high ground? Then stop using sexist language. That’s right “bitch,” douchebag,” etc. are words used to shame men by comparing them to women, especially female (dirty!!!) genitalia.

Our governing authorities have declared that Constitutional privacy protections prohibit the government from banning first trimester abortions. So there, so called right-to-life Evangelicals!

Maybe your brown and white eggs weren’t the same temperature to begin with? An egg straight from the fridge is going to take longer to cook than one at room temp. Likewise, a bigger egg will take longer than a smaller one.

I’ve never quite weighed enough to qualify, so get to keep my Type O+ all for myself.

Here are additional factors to consider: 1) your skin gets less efficient at producing vitamin D as you age; and 2) Vit D. is fat soluble, i.e. stored in your body, so you don’t need sun exposure or dietary intake every day. In fact, maximum serum levels will occur several weeks after your biggest sun exposure.

Why aren’t there separate terms for vagina and vulva? Two different places, and based on the slang terms in the link, I think most actually refer to the vulva, despite the oh-s0-helpful key (that does not include this term!). Way to many people of all sexual persuasions call it all “the vagina” when they think they…

But we already know that the cure for racism is to stop taking Ambien, right?

I gave the crew chocolates when I was doing a Christmas Eve red-eye a couple of years ago. They definitely accepted, and gave me a bottle of wine when I deplaned!

Not sure what your point is, Kari. Obviously the Catholic church opposes abortion in both the North and Republic, and everywhere else in the world, for that matter. But I was trying to answer a question about voters’ attitudes — not the same thing as Church policy!
