A lot of research essentially demonstrates things that are either intuitive, or unsurprising upon reflection.

otherwise know as “DINKs” or “dual income no kids”

My personal favorite is the “no kids” one

Remember when gas/oil prices went up really high and flight prices skyrocketed because of it? And they crammed more seats on planes and charged us heavy fees for bags? Then fuel/oil prices dropped drastically and the flight prices never went down and fees never went away? Fuck everything about the airlines.

I guess it’s a disorder when it affects your ability to live a normal life. If you can get a work schedule and a family schedule that makes your natural sleep cycle possible, and you don’t feel negative effects from it, then you are fine.

Can’t resist that low hanging fruit huh? Weak, weak sauce with this abortion of a comment.

No one bats an eye at a Mormon joke, but Muslim jokes aren’t taboo?

I’m also a little disappointed that it uses AAs, which is a little surprising considering Anker’s expertise in rechargeables.

that would explain all the fences going up...

Bebop isn’t so binge-watchy for me because you can watch any one episode separate from all the others and, more or less, it completely makes sense. That’s my metric for binge-watching. Fully admit it’s subjective.

Sweet Jesus!!!

I never refrigerate bread but I had a co-worker once who had to because if they left any sort of food out on the counter when they went to work, their 2 cats would eat it. And I mean, the cats would eat it ALL. Chew open the bag and eat the entire thing.

A loaf of bread will mold in a just a few days here in Houston. This is especially true of anything that isn’t heavily filled with preservatives. A 10 pack of freshly made tortillas last maybe 2 or 3 days during the summer months. I don’t refrigerate my breads but I buy in small batches and more often out of…

As others have said, most Americans don’t refrigerate bread. I’ll put mine in the freezer if I’m going out of town for a week and don’t want to waste food, but that’s it.

When I’ve lived alone, I refrigerated bread since I’d waste half a loaf due to mold, especially when I lived on a boat. You get four days out of it if you’re lucky in a humid environment like that. A quick toast brings it right back to life. If you like it softer, a zap in the microwave does the trick, too.

I put my bread in the fridge because I don’t eat it fast enough. If I leave it on the counter, it gets moldy. Refrigerating the bread seems to keep it edible.
(It also reduces the temptation for my dogs...they try to counter-surf if it is alone and undefended, and I am off at work.)

I just don’t want my bread to go moldy too quickly as I live on my own, and refrigeration seems to slow this.

Preserves the bread from getting moldy?

Depending on the climate, bread goes moldy in a couple days and stale even quicker. Refrigerated bread doesn’t have quite as nice texture, but if you’re not consuming the entire loaf in a day or two you get to enjoy the whole thing.

One reason is that you typically can’t buy half loafs in the US and the bread will mold before one can eat it all, especially if the house is warm and humid. Some breads mold quicker than others. I personally don’t refrigerate my bread.
