This article misinterprets imposter syndrome and then waves it away. Which is kind of a Dunning-Krueger way to address the issue...

I’ve got some tanks from Duluth Trading which fit the bill for me. I haven’t tried their Ts yet but the tanks are nicely weighted, nicely fitted, and nicely textured.

Thanks for mentioning the iodine. My chef-trained ex only used kosher salt at home and I wound up with a thyroid problem. It’s also relevant to note that *only* table salt is iodized — none of the sodium you get from chips or other packaged food has this supplement (seaweed chips are an exception).

That picture is funny. The small connector is just a small USB connector. USB carries both data and power both directions.

I got mine a week before I helped my sister tear down her old deck. I scraped my arm pretty badly with a nail throwing a board into the dumpster and I was really glad I’d had the booster. ;-)

“Be considerate” also means “don’t be fragile”. There are lots of things we can get worked up about in the right frame of mind which just aren’t a big deal. (I had a roommate who picked a fight with another roommate about a ticking clock.) Make a schedule around cleaning and list what you each expect to have done. If…

Listening. This is really important to me as I have been the designated listener in dozens of roles in my life. I will cut people off during the back-and-forth stage of seeing if we want to meet IRL for not really reading my messages (and for not re-browsing them after a period of not talking).

I was raised in an athiest family and we just took the day to do what we loved best: play, make and eat food you love, hang out with nice people, watch a movie or two, go to sleep whenever you want. Since becoming an adult I do some more religious stuff but on Christmas day I’m much more likely to be hiking or skiing…

It just might look like an “epidemic” if kids who got pregnant, or got a girl friend pregnant, were able to stay in school instead of having to drop out and get a job. It might also look like an epidemic if we were honest about the fact that we are expecting kids to be in school at exactly the same time as their…

The weird thing about this is that the “no”s here are sometimes lies and sometimes the truth. There’s no key for which is which. So isn’t the article suggesting that “no” is a word we’re familiar enough with that when we pay attention to how a particular person uses it we can start to decode more of what they’re…

I’m saddened but actually not too surprised. It simply did not add enough value over the basic app to justify the difference. I was hoping I could copy my mom’s recipe box into notes and then get a nice, orderly export for her along with the searchable database for me but no such luck.

That’s not what South Park looks like. That might be the one in Littleton, CO. South Park is a valley and the largest town in it is Fairplay — which has zero ticky-tacky suburbs. Here’s a lovely map for reference: https://www.google.com/maps/place/Fai…

That’s a really bad article. First, it’s how to pack a bag for backpacking. Second, it’s an overview of the techniques for that. And third, it makes assumptions about things that aren’t universal. So following it wouldn’t really result in “stress free camping” because if you used it for camping you’d either be…

I sincerely hope that neither this article nor the paper it summarizes are taken seriously by doctors. In our age of reduced doctor/patient time routine tests really are the only hope we have for identifying chronic illness — such as low Vitamin D — before they do irreversible harm.

It’s false to say “the answer is not 6”. There are many rubrics which can be applied which result in “6” while incorporating all the other numbers. It’s better to say “I’m looking for a valid answer other than 6”

“What I believe is based on science and empirical observation.” No. It’s based on confirmation bias. Not necessarily just yours. Doctors have been assigning biological genders to non-conforming human babies for decades, often without consulting families. So what are the genetics of those babies? What’s the biological…

I think the ‘estrogen-mimickers’ also include Soy as revealed by Jim Rutz in World Net Daily: http://www.wnd.com/2006/12/39253/

This one, absolutely. They’re small enough to not be intimidating, they have a good variety of recipes, and the recipes are accessible for beginners. Sure, in time a foodie will outgrow this, but it will teach you the 20~30 basic recipes everyone needs and the dozen or so skills you need to get by in the kitchen.

I can see taking the “bunk” out of the “everybody needs 8 glasses of water a day” myth. But I think there’s some valid information which remains in it. 1.) thirst is suppressed by caffeine so if you drink caffeinated drinks make sure you’re also getting enough water. 2.) water is more bioavailable than many of the…

Packing well doesn’t necessarily result in packing light. I think *lean* is important too. Instead of jeans these days I take two pairs of dress pants and throw in a pair of long underwear for varying the temperatures they’re comfortable in.
