If you have the time and resources to care for them yourself then you are fortunate. Not everyone is so fortunate.

Regarding the Pyrex, Dar above says “the lids are replaceable and inexpensive”. I should like to know where he or she obtains them, as I’ve not found them either easily or inexpensively. The glass part lasts forever but the plastic lids eventually crack and break. My MIL convinced me to quit putting them in the…

When did adults start using the word “poop”?

I got that message on my first attempt. On the second I was able to complete my freeze. When I did my wife’s it took 4 tries to go through. YMMV.

It would be really great if all of NFL punditry and fandom would totally ignore these guys’ attempts to draw attention to themselves.

Just this morning bought a 30 oz Ozark Trails tumbler for $9. That’s a Wal-Mart store brand. We’ll see if it’s as good as my RTIC, which is quite good.

In the UK one should never refer to it as a “fanny pack” (not that anyone should have one in the first place). “Fanny” refers to female genitalia in British English. It’s a “bum bag” there, I’ve heard.

I’ve been using various MultiClad Pro pieces for about two years and I’m still very happy with them. They work great and still look like new. I highly recommend Barkeeper’s Friend to keep them (and other things) shiny.

This one of those Gawker articles where I say “People didn’t know this?”

A lawyer I respect used to do a talk show. He used to say “You can send your kids to college or send your lawyer’s kids to college.” So come to an agreement!

I do indeed like NPR, and I like Terry Gross, although I’ll tune away from interviews with show-biz people I never heard of. There is no question, however, that NPR in general and Terry Gross in particular come from rather left of center. As long as I keep that in mind, I enjoy listening.

1) The USB-C transition is not happening fast enough, in my opinion. I don’t see it “eating the world”.

I always wondered why the Geico gecko has a British accent. Jamaican would make some sense, mon, but geckos don’t live in Britain.

Costco fills my tires with nitrogen at no extra charge. So I let them. I don’t see how it hurts.

I guess it’s OK that less-than-intelligent people make the word “literally” into its opposite. Or at any rate, perhaps it can’t be helped. How many people actually say they’re going to “lie down” instead of “lay down”? Not very many. That usage is probably considered correct now, or soon will be (sigh). Language…

You must give credit to Steven Wright for that.

As a human with free will he can certainly “kneel, stand, or sit”. However, the Constitution does not protect him from the employment consequences of his actions, only from government action. And I retain the right to think he is a jerk and to turn off the TV if he’s playing.
