Heard a similar story years ago but not so flaw-oriented, necessarily. It was someone whose job it was to (IIRC) create commercials, and he referred to it as 'taking out the helicopter' - they'd do a promo for their work which would include an expensive helicopter fly-over camera shot as well, and the client would…

Doesn't aspirin tend towards potential for more stomach upset/irritation after its expiration date? I thought it started breaking down into plain ol' salicylic acid (instead of acetylsalicylic acid) and that's why you get the vinegary smell in a bottle of closed-up or old aspirin.

And I'm not even someone who's paranoid about cops just being out to get people, but it does happen, plus there are innocent people who confess to crimes just because they're scared/ignorant/mentally deficient in some way/believe it when they hear something that seems to indicate that if they confess to something they…

Yes, it's an actual class lecture so it's long. It's also quite good and worth watching, seriously, even/especially for a law-abiding citizen.

Yup. Poor dude is wearing some overpriced garbage that looks like grandma's quilting bag.

Oh, I agree. It's just that for Americans, the conversion charts I already have on the fridge have "US-centric" (imperial?) conversions plus metric conversions, and tsp/tbsp to fractions-of-cups is a pretty common inclusion, especially for when you start scaling up recipes to serve more people.

The subtitle on the image is "for the UK" so I assume they don't care about such things. I wonder if they have a US-centric version?

Store them in the fridge.

I went to a cooking class at a Michelin-starred restaurant around Chicago, and they recommended rice bran oil as their standard high-heat, good-for-frying too oil. Didn't know TJ's was carrying it now - they said to check Asian supermarkets.

Substitute in place of vegetable/canola/olive (when used in high-heat cooking). Voila.

I have that problem even if I tell them that I'm Mrs. HisName (I'm a hyphenate) because my name isn't on the account, period. They don't care about the surname. Whatever.

There's the Guide 10 Plus made by Goal Zero, was that what you were thinking of?

Same thing here - was a G+ user (haven't posted in a long time), etc., and mine was unchecked by default. I must have hit the right "I care about my privacy, dammit" settings before this launched.

Go ahead - I know they're on my "I'd rather go without" list of companies!

If it has "or current resident" in small print on it, sadly you're out of luck.

Eh, I guess that'd work? I would have been happy with eloping/going to a courthouse and would do so if I had to do it all over again, so to me that actual formalization of it was the point, rather than the party.

How did he manage the marriage license, is what I'm wondering? It's been a while since I got married, but I seem to recall needing signatures from both members of the couple and a waiting period.

I'm on my phone so it's awkward to post my GIF responses to that suggestion. Let's just imagine a NOPE GIF party, shall we?

Hey, awesome, Syberia is on sale on Steam for $2.49 right now. Thanks for the pointer. :)

If it's that annoying, use one of those measuring cups of the graduated cylinder/push-up bottom style. I've seen one-cup and two-cup measures; they're composed of a open-ended hard plastic tube with volume markings, and a rubbery/soft plastic plunger that's basically an inverted cup. The cup goes flat-end-up in the…
