Yes, carbonara has egg, raw not really cooked egg. Had some in Paris when I was a filthy meat eater. It tasted fabulous.

Also, just try to cancel right away. For some services, you still get it through the end date anyway. Like, don’t know why this comes to mind with the Olympics on now, but YoutubeTV. And I think Amazon Prime as well.

Anytime we go hiking, I always try to bring a bag or two. And they are inevitably full when I get back and I’m usually holding a couple things that didn’t fit.

Don’t forget also “cancers of the vulva, vagina, penis, anus, and oropharynx (back of the throat, including the base of the tongue and tonsils) are also HPV-associated...”

My mother was beaten regularly by her first husband. When she would call the police, they would see him passed out drunk, and say “He won’t hurt you anymore tonight”, and then leave. When she was granted a divorce, the judge said her now ex-husband would still live in the same house. It was called a nesting divorce…

This explains a lot about “Growing Pains”... it must be why Kirk Cameron went into super xtian mode, after Chrissy was born... She was a demon!

The tip I’ve been using with success has been is to see if the knobby stem remainder comes off. If it sticks in place it is unripe, if it comes off easily, it’s ripe. I’ll see how that compares with the bulb squeeze on future ones.

Ah, yes. Agreed they fuck with the growth off the median for sure. Driving it up too early, eventually causing it to correct. That’s a big part of the truism that “there is [always] a recession coming”. Could be today, could be 5 years, could be 10, but eventually the market will snap out of the inorganic growth, and…

I’m not sure if you are attacking me or the entire concept of stock market growth over the last 80 years. If you are attacking me, sorry, but I’m not the greedy/gleeful, nor rich. I’ve slowly been putting away money my entire adult life. I’m in for the long haul.

That’s why you shouldn’t pay attention to these kinds of dips. Long term, passive index investing for the win! Today just means stocks will be on “sale” for a while. With dollar cost averaging today will be a good day.

4% is a starting point, but there are good reasons to consider lower as well. See the great Big ERN SWR series. While he gets VERY detailed, even reading it at high level and skimming details will help you a lot: https://earlyretirementnow.com/2016/12/07/the-ultimate-guide-to-safe-withdrawal-rates-part-1-intro/

I learned three things from Good Eats about onions. First, the sulfur compounds in the gas reacts with the saline on your eyes to produce Sulfuric Acid. That is why it burns your eyes.

Soybeans do contain a lot of calcium, but in soymilk it is supplemented.

3 quarts a day?! Holy crap! Yeah, eating a huge portion of anything in your diet is likely to have a deleterious effect for at least some people.

When we had kids we were told this too, but I looked it up. It took a while to track down the source for this idea, and it was a study of elderly Japanese women, who ate a lot of soy. The study measured how much of the plant hormones were being urinated. So, different ages, different genders, different diets,…

In Wisconsin, it is totally legal for parents to serve their kids in bars, like pouring multiple beers from the pitchers or ordering them drinks. Crazy.

“Goodyear contended that Leroy Haeger was to blame for slamming on the vehicle’s brakes after the tire blew.” Hey Goodyear... Fuck you! Hitting the breaks when something crazy and loud happens to your vehicle is a completely reasonable reaction.

Oh, I believed you... I don’t believe him. :) I think it’s all revisionist history to address the changes they’ve made. Given how close the releases where, I suspect the publisher had all three manuscripts at once, so even if he optioned it after the first book, they could’ve given him the whole series.

Ummm... that doesn’t really add up with the release dates to me. Annihilation Feb 4, 2014, Authority May 4, 2014, Acceptance September 2, 2014. So the first book comes out, and was INSTANTLY picked up, and the treatment done before September? Plus, they didn’t announce the option until almost November. https://news.avc…

You are absolutely missing out by not funding a 401k. You can’t make up those contributions later, because they max out. And checkout the slow travel, early retirement community. You’ll find a lot of people that focused on savings at an early age, and now in their 30s and 40s are taking year long vacations, by moving…
