Don’t need this. Both my UU congregation and my local performing arts association acknowledges that we are meeting on the land of the Dena’ina Athabascan people every time there’s a service (even a virtual one) or a performance.

Maybe time to call in the UN election observers instead. Because apparently we live in a banana republic whose totalitarian overlords don’t want an election that’s truly democratic. Ironic in that us females have only had the vote for a century.
Yeah, but . . . please don’t buy any more single use plastic bottles, people! The oceans are full of this shit and it’s a total waste of energy to manufacture them and transport them all over the world when most of us have access to potable water from our faucets. Use re-usable bottles instead. Here in the earthquake…
1) Get a chest, not a stand-up freezer.
Thanks for writing this story, Beth. I just sent the WaPo author (Allyson Chiu) and their corrections folks a long email objecting to the way they characterize the Duke study results. Note that I’m a retired scientist who used to work for a major national outdoor agency that has just supplied its rangers with Buffs…
Actually, some of us are just trying to get from our US state — you know, the one bigger than CA and TX put together, with 2.5 times as many earthquakes as CA, and that includes the easternmost, westernmost, and northernmost points in the USA — by road to the rest of the USA.
If sent, this letter would definitely provide fodder for many the bookclub laugh session for months to come. But if you seek a reputation as a pompous jerk, by all means do it!
Biblical.
Unless they are doing full body searches (please tell me they aren’t) it seems like cheaters could always stash a wad of notepaper with notes on in inside their panties or bra, while the rest of us could stash a spare tampon or two in a similar place.
This. And you don’t even need oil. I used to travel a lot for work and would take some kernels, bags, and seasoning with me — small, easy to pack, and no oil means no TSA hassles. Biggest challenge was estimating how long to microwave. Better to overestimate the microwave’s wattage than to set fire to your hotel room.…
Citric acid (anhydrous powder) works just as well and is cheaper, plus you can cook with it, which is something I don’t want to try with efferdent.
Au contraire. I am a scientist and into efficiency. I use the minimum amount of cookware and I clean as I go, while waiting for ovens to heat up or water to boil, etc. I keep a tub of sudsy water in the sink to put utensils etc. in while the food on them is still soft, or to soften baked-on stuff while we eat. Cleanup…
My solution to this problem is to live in Alaska. I’ve worn fleece for at least part of every day this week, and have slept under a down comforter. I’ve disconnected the the power to my car’s AC compressor because I never use it (otherwise it runs when the defroster is on, but we have dry winters so that’s a waste,…
I’ve never weighed enough to give blood. But I have had a 23andMe DNA test, and while that company does not include your blood group in its reports, I know how to browse my raw data by reference SNP number, using SNPedia as a guide.
“Find Something New” = “Let them eat cake.”
Use H2O2 (3% hydrogen peroxide). It is a good disinfectant that is odorless and breaks down to water and oxygen gas. It will definitely kill mold and leave absolutely no taste or odor behind - no rinsing required. Costco sells it cheap.
I’ve sewed a bunch of masks at home, both the pleated kind that look like the cloth version of a surgical mask, and the kind with a vertical seam up the middle, which does a slightly better job of staying out of the way of my lower eyelids.
Because six feet is THE magic number. It is a quantum phenomenon. So why bother?
