You make some good points but 2.3 grams of tracking force is not “way heavy.” There are many very fine cartridges designed to track at 2 grams and that extra .3 is by no means an issue. Also, this is the part where I remind you that too little tracking force can easily cause just as much damage as too much. The advent…

Over one hundred Facebook followers? That doesn’t sound a lot. Then again, one million followers does qualify “over one hundred”

Uh-uh. Stash Your Keys Under On Top of Important Items so You Don’t Leave Them Behind. Take it from a certified scatterbrain: it works better.

Eggs? Milk? What’s that about? Traditional sweet pie crust is flour, butter, salt, water, little bit of sugar. If you’re feeling like Chris Kimball, maybe split the water into a 50/50 water/vodka mixture. Let’s you have a wetter dough, but the alcohol evaporates and reduces gluten build-up. Dough is easy to handle.

I can’t think of a single reason I’d need these over plastic zip ties, but I still feel like I should buy them...

I came to post this. For those of you who don’t use a scale, it’s 1 lb macaroni, 1 lb cheese, 2 cups milk, 4 tsp sodium citrate. You can use any cheese, even stuff that doesn’t melt well (like feta). Since there is no starch and half as much milk as a lot of recipes, the sauce is intensely cheesy- super-sharp cheddar…

Boulderers tend to just boulder, not climb. Many climbers warm up on bouldering, but mostly climb. Look for boulderers that don’t have those giant over-sized chalkbags, and have a harness with their chalk, and you’ll have more luck.

So I’ll go a bit more into hydrogenation:

All fats come in a form called “triglycerides.” These molecules have a glycerol backbone and 3 fatty acid chains. Fatty acid chains are long molecules that are essentially big carbon chains. Now, if every carbon on this chain has the maximum possible number of hydrogen atoms…

I have a ton of nostalgia for Ledo’s but I avoid going back when I’m in town because I think it would ruin it. In terms of “DC Style Pizza” you’ll also hear people claim that the Adams Morgan jumbo slice is some sort of regional style, but this is really bullshit. And anyway, it’s not like DC has some historic…

Ledo’s is OK but would graduate to “good” if they could sort out their sauce. It’s too sweet!

I’ve never really used this technique for smaller peppers but I do use it for bell peppers. Makes quick work of it and you get flat pieces to chop, slice, etc without having to deal with the seeds.

Most manufacturers now make a screen protector that is made with a flexible glass similar to the glass your screen is actually made of. It is made of glass, for glass (as opposed to plastic films), and as I understand it usually is actually a layered set of a glass film, a plastic film, and an adhesive. They are…

Since when does McDonald’s have “malted” milkshakes? Is this a regional thing, like only some McDonalds having grits on the menu?

That’s my plan as it usually works fine and I’ve got some that have been sitting around in the freezer for a bit. Just add 50% to the cooking time here - I’m guessing a half hour to 45 minutes would do it.

Right, like how they talk about affordable small town living. As a black person, I am not interested in living in Trump country.

My husband and I are set to achieve FIRE status by the time we’re in our mid-40s. Out of the two of us, I’m the main driver of this goal. I’ve always been frugal (I saved for and bought my first townhouse when I was in my mid-20s and working in customer service), and have ensured that our lifestyle has always stayed…

Grapefruit juice in a can is still pure acid. I like it for punches and cocktails.

This is false, for no other reason than not everyone needs to do all the things you need to do. Not to mention some people prefer smaller form factor.

States were Alabama, Colorado, Georgia, Minnesota and 2 from Texas.

Your comment made me realize that, with all the bitching about Texas you hear from us non-Texans, nobody has a thing to say against Texas cooking.
