My fridge usually has salted (both Kerry Gold and Land o Lakes) because I don’t bake too often. If I am planning a special dessert, I will purchase unsalted. But if I am baking on a whim, I’ll use the salted and just omit any salt the recipe says to add. Land o Lakes tends to salt their butter in a consistent manner,…

My first memory is of a room with large arched windows and yellow walls. I vaguely remember lab equipment. It’s a fleeting memory. After telling my mother this, she was dumbfounded. Apparently, when I was six months, she took me to a lab with yellow walls and arched windows to get blood drawn for my checkup. It must…

If I remember EMTALA correctly, they must medically screen any patient that comes into the emergency room, regardless of their ability to pay. If they are not equipped to handle the emergency, they must stabilize the person medically before transferring them to another facility. In this case, the patient was in…

Yea, someone broke Amazon

It kinda makes me nostalgic for the game show Shop ‘Till You Drop.

Exactly. My first thought was, “How are they getting the enzymes into the skins cells?” Enzymes are huge compared to the materials that cells can transport across the membrane without phagocytosis (which I am not aware of keratinocytes being able to do*). Plus, the first few layers of cells are dead anyway.

Here’s a scenario: teen snaps and decides to shoot up the school. So they don a gas mask, and armed with guns, grab one of these canisters off the wall. With a gun in one hand and the pepper sprayer in the other, they spray to incapacitate the victims. Then while the victims are fumbling around blind and in pain, they …

One of the recent episodes of “Claws” on TNT dealt with abortion and pro-life protesters. Dean (the main character Desna’s brother, who is on the spectrum), sums it up pretty nicely:

Sadly, that looks like it won’t be cured for another 2.5 years....

I agree. It seems like this administration is arresting parents then claiming that their children are now unaccompanied minors because their parents have been arrested. Just so that they can turn around and say that this policy (the unaccompanied minors one) was used by prior administrations. Now they can say they are…

There is a product called got2b Glued. They have a styling glue which is water resistant, and a freeze spray that is mega super hold. How do I know? I had to be Maleficent for a dance routine and used it to make my long hair into horns. If it could keep my hair straight up while doing spins and turns, it has to be…

If you use the float and hover method, PLEASE wipe the seat when you are done! There is nothing more gross than getting into a stall only to find the seat covered in piss (or something else).

I’ve been known to polish off a small tub of marinated little mozzarella balls all my myself.

He can prepare all he wants. With his history of tangents and literally throwing away prepared speeches, I doubt it’s going to go as planned.

Probably because plastics can break down over time. Pure, unadulterated plastics tend to be extremely rigid and brittle, which is not ideal for water bottles. Chemicals called plasticizers are added to make them more flexible and stabilizers are added to slow down degradation. It’s these additives that can leach into…

I have made the mistake (one too many times) of touching my face after cutting jalapenos, and that spot starts to burn. After trying milk, I broke out the heavy cream and gave myself a facial with it. It helped so much!!

Most likely a male dancer. It was a little too polished to be Ryan. But then again, if it is him, that’s just makes it even better!

They smell like ball sack to me. There is a definite yeasty-ness to the smell. But then again, I live blocks from an Italian bread factory which smells heavenly. Maybe it’s a combination of both?

Years ago, my mother sent out a payment for the daily newspaper subscription. Back then, you got the canceled checks back. She took a look at all the checks that came back, and on that one, someone used white-out to cover up the addressee and put their own name. Their bank took a check that has white-out on it!!! How…

Exactly. I had an order delivered by Amazon Logistics recently, and the driver left it on the front steps. Usually not a big deal since this is what UPS or FedEx will do, but what pissed me off was the the tracking information stated it was given to a person at the residence. Every human who lives here is not home…
