Not exactly a sound coming from the car itself, but I think it should be illegal for radio stations to play car horn or siren sounds. Almost any time it happens, it jolts me with adrenaline as I jerk my head around to see if somebody is about to hit me. I’d rather they play Carlin’s 7 words, but get fined by the FCC fo…

Yep, it has been majority Republican-appointed since 1968. I was born in ‘66, and Democrats have controlled the government (meaning control of 2 out of the 3 branches) only 8 years during my lifetime.

I graduated from HS in ‘84. Lots of feelings of nostalgia reading this. It’s missing my early HS uniform, though, of jeans, t-shirt, and unbuttoned flannel shirt. I probably wore that at least 50% of the time my freshman and sophomore years.

Really worth watching:

Cream, sugar, eggs, and vanilla premixed in one convenient package :-)

Also, depending on what you’re cooking, chopping the garnish first might save you having to wash the cutting board in between steps, because you chopped raw chicken on it or something.

I dunno...sweet, creamy, crunchy, acidic, salty. Add a savory slice of prosciutto or something, and it would cover all the flavor bases! And still probably taste terrible.

I don’t think these would be at all like the ones my Polish great aunt used to make. I think she used nothing but flour, butter, salt, and melted vanilla ice cream for the dough, and always used apricot jam for the filling. They were really delicious, but more of a cookie than a pastry.

I’m 55, and we did it at a birthday party when I was around 10. That’s my only experience with it, though.

I was thinking about getting a lion, but this article gave me paws.

Yes

(I can’t stop giggling inside over, “If you like a little head....”) But I agree with your point about a little heat. It’s surprising how much a pinch of cayenne can improve dishes, including veggies and even some desserts. I find that I like just enough that it would make me say, “Is there a little cayenne or…

Love the pic next to the pay phone!

Woo, man. My last year of college, my wife and I rented a house in the country outside of town. The first time I turned on the oven, there was the most god-awful smell. I don’t know how many mice had nested in the walls of the oven, but there were a several. I had to open the doors and windows and air the place out…

Parts have always been a challenge for us with ‘80s Shelby Dodges. All of the cars were very limited production, fewer than 500 ‘89 Shelby CSXes were made, for example. While many of the parts are stock Chrysler, and often interchangeable between models, even some of those are beginning to be hard to find. Other…

Maybe I’m more organized in my browsing or something, but I hate tab groups. I wish it was still possible to turn it off. :(

One year I gave my (then) college-age daughter 20 $5 bills all taped together end-to-end with easy release tape. I rolled them up, put them in a small box with a slit cut in it, stuck the first one out the slit, then wrapped the box. She had fun pulling what was a pretty long string of bills out of the box.

My only saw blade tip is that if you’re going to cut a bunch of laminate flooring, invest in a carbide blade. I was amazed at how hard that flooring was on a high-tooth-count blade. Dulled it pretty quickly. I replaced it with a new carbide blade, and that still looked new after finishing the floor.
