I’m 57 now, and about 18 months ago I set myself a goal of being able to do one chin-up. I started not being able to raise myself at all! It took maybe 8 weeks until I could do one sloppy one, and a bit longer to be able to do a good one. I’ve worked up to the point where I can now do 3 good ones, and 4 sometimes. New…

A page’s load speed affects an article or site’s search engine rankings, with quickly loading sites appearing higher on Google which prioritizes sites that load in no more than 2.5 seconds.

Even my cheap toaster has a bagel setting, which only toasts one side.

At different times of the year I do that with blackberries and mulberries while I’m mowing.

You never forget your first. I’d still kind of like to have my first car back, a ‘76 AMC Pacer. A car ahead of its time. Mine was blue like this one, but never this shiny.

Ha! Same. The first new car I ever bought was an ‘85 Escort, and while it had serious issues, it was clearly way ahead of my old Chevette.

Give ‘em a break. AI is the only I they have.

Hey from another downstater. Yeah the movement to split the southern part off into a separate state doesn’t seem to realize we would instantly become one of the poorest states.

I feel like Texans who think Blue Bell ice cream is the best have never tasted any other ice cream.

Kroger’s house brand HemisFares has a very good reasonably priced balsamic vinegar option. It’s got some thickness to it, and decent flavor for something that costs a lot less than the real stuff. You can also improve a cheap, thin balsamic vinegar by reducing it down to about half the original volume. You need to…

The second one was even better, because it was more self-aware and knew exactly what it was there for.

If you don’t have a kitchen torch but have one in the garage or workshop, it’s perfectly fine to bring it in and use it for this. Nothing of the torch touches the food; you’re just using the flame to melt and caramelize the sugar.

I just tried them for lunch. Warning that if you get them to go, they will be soggy by the time you eat them. I only had to drive down the street back to my office, but they were a soggy mess by then. I mixed the cheese and red sauce, as suggested here, and that was a good call. They weren’t too spicy at all. Very…

It’s incredible the number of murders there are in small quaint British villages.

My wife and I have almost finished a bag of Ruffles Honey Habanero. I personally don’t like them on their own, but we’ve found that they’re excellent on a sandwich. Any kind of cold cut or meat, with a slice of cheese, some mayo, spicy mustard, fresh tomato, and a few of the chips for crunch and kick. Mmm. I just…

Sounds like my mom. I think if she can taste it, it’s “too spicy.” One Thanksgiving I made a sweet potato casserole with some cayenne in it. She actually said to me, “Don’t do that again.” lol

...a partnership with Best Buy would mark the first time Google would offer official repair services outside its two brick-and-mortar stores....

Quote from my oldest daughter, “If there’s one thing I learned living in Southern Illinois, it’s that there’s a limit to how many zucchinis your neighbors will take.” I imagine the same principle applies to yellow squash.

I think emigrate is also correct here. It can be an implied, “...emigrating from the United States to Russia.” If you left off to Russia, it would certainly be correct. Rephrased, that would be, “If you don’t like it here, leave!”

“Daich DCT-MNS-TS Quart Spreadstone Mineral Select Countertop Refinishing Kit” in the color “Sundance”. I think it was around $160 when I bought it. The kit probably had enough to do at least twice as much area as that countertop. I’ve seen similar kits at the store from Rustoleum.
