One other thing that really helps to preserve the life of an avocado is leaving the stem in until you’re ready to eat it. When you’re at the store or farmers market, try to only buy avocados that have a stem in them.

There is one advantage to collagen peptides compared to other protein powders even if they have little benefit besides providing protein: they’re easily dissolvable and taste free. If you’ve ever tried any protein powder (pea, rice, or any animal based one), they all have that gritty chalky taste and feel. Some are…

I’m still using a late 2013 13'’ MBP with 512Gb HD and 8Gb of RAM as my primary work system. It still works. But alas, it won’t get the next release of MacOS. I plan to upgrade, but its not due to cost so much as the competition. I’ve worked in IT for 20+ years. No other vendor makes laptops that still run more than 7…

I’ll add that I’m a retired PJ and worked for years mentoring youth in high school that wanted to join the military after high school or college (I always suggested the latter so they would have a degree to fall back on if they were injured while serving... and ‘cause by the time you graduate college you can drink…

I think there’s more to the story. Ask yourself how many tall, female olympic gymnasts you see? Very few! And in many cases they also have small(er) breasts and higher pitched voices, even as adults. It comes down to hormones and the changes your body makes (or doesn’t) if the hormones are “re-directed” to say…

Worth noting... at least on a Mac its not Chrome: Settings. Its actually Chrome > Preferences which will open a new browser tab to Chrome settings. Pointing this out as it may not be obvious to all users or new Mac users who may look everywhere and not see a “Settings” option.

I can state unequivocably that I’ve never committed a war crime.

FWIW: I’m a retired Air Force PJ and Blackwater PSD contractor that did an 18 month stint as an air marshal. Even air marshals will often not get involved if they think the crew has it under control as protecting their anonymity is paramount. If an AM isn’t going to get involved, should you?

Until you actually go duck hunting and you tell someone about it but don’t bother to check it and next thing you know your wife wants to know why you’re out fuck hunting with the boyz... Or you tell someone that you had to duck real quick only now you just told someone you had to fuck real quick... which they’d…

Another option is to use DICKtation. Granted, Siri only understands what I say about 50% of the time, but she’s surprisingly adept at understanding things like bitch and twat. I find that when I reply with foul words from my Apple Watch or just talking to my phone she properly sends shit, fuck, and cunt (channeling my…

I’m pretty darn sure that The Punisher (2017) is NOT coming to HBO since its a Netflix owned series and there was no 2017 movie remake. But I am pretty sure the Punisher from 2004 is coming to HBO Max. Let’s just hope its not the 1989 Dolph Lundgren version...

Should probably go without saying... but also make sure you eat first. We have a “team building” event once every other month or so (starting up again after almost a year and a half). I will sometimes work through lunch or do a light lunch or even a workout at lunch, but not if I’m drinking with co-workers that night.…

“Still, it’s worth a shot. The auto-brightness setting is located in Settings > Accessibility > Display & Brightness.”

Another kitchen upgrade to consider if you’re renting longer term - add (or cover) a backsplash. DIY stores like Lowes have plastic panels with trim kits that are lightweight and easy to cut. You can mount them with 3M Command strips for easy install and removal. If you’re feeling ambitious, you can even customize…

I’ve been in apartments for 5+ years (hopefully this is my last year in one) and have done the following:

I’m just going to say this: thank you for a well balanced article. Most of the stuff that comes from the article writers on the related websites under your parent company/brand aren’t as well thought out and balanced as this article so thank you for that. I very much appreciate that you realize there are firearm…

My son is in college and did a proof study on this and found that the more personal information you include on your resume, they more likely you were to be subject to racial bias. Specifically, your race and address could be used to discriminate. They found that when a caucasian with a zip code in a “non ghetto” area i…

I wonder how the anti-stalking features of the Airtags will work when you’re with a friend? Imagine a road trip and you both have airtags and you have separate AppleIDs. To your device, it’ll look like the other is stalking you or vice versa. Or what about people that commute together daily say in a car or mass…

I’ve been using the command+shift+4 thing for years. My gripe is that in all versions of MacOS prior to 11.2 doing that would let you highlight the section AND immediately put it in the clipboard so you could go to another app like email or Messages and paste it. Now with 11.2 it shows a small thumbnail preview in the…

I’ve been doing this with old salsa jars and peace lillies. Just wash it out and soak off the label, then tie some twine into two opposite facing circles on each side (so they pull against each other and create friction under the threads), then hang them in a window or similar. The only real issue with doing this is…
