Heh. That reminds me of once when my kids were little, and we caught a praying mantis and put it in a cage to study for a while. We put a grasshopper with it, which it stalked and ate. In the evening we put in a couple of field crickets. By morning the crickets were still there, but all that was left of the praying…

First of all, I believe everyone who has a story to tell. These stories have been circulating for years.

So a hidden kitchen is a... kitchen.

“that’s big news, since the next-best Android smartwatch on the market, the Galaxy Watch 5, is only compatible with Samsung devices. Don’t be surprised if the Galaxy Watch 6 suddenly opens up its compatibility to other Android phones.”

I suspected something was up when I saw Trader Joe’s as the most popular store anywhere.

I use to feel that way too, having had to rip out tons of wallpaper in multiple homes, but after buying my first home, I’ve found places where carefully selected wallpaper fit perfectly.  I’ve changed my mind about it.  I think it can be done right...the properly is most people don’t.  The wall paper of yesterday was…

I think the wallpaper one has to be an outdated one these days.  Today, you can get some really nice and timeless looking wall paper.  Also, if it’s really that big of a deal when it comes time to sell your home, that’s something that you can removed yourself before you put your house on the market.  I think that’s…

I saw “my favorite corn recipe came from TikTok” and immediately feared yet another Nyquil-infused delicacy. Whew. 

The idea that anyone takes the movie at face value is pretty funny

Critically important, Fight Club was originally written by an openly homosexual man. Chuck Palahniuk is an unsung hero of the LGBTQ+ Community.

What is wish I knew 30+ years ago is that the 2nd mile is easier than the first mile both physically and mentally. I would have been a life long runner if I had known that, oh and the asthma medications in the 70s-early 90s sucked so that did not help.

good info, but can I make a suggestion? I had to look at your bio to see if you were even qualified to make unsourced claims like these, but you appear to be qualified.  If you could mention something about why you know these are myths (your experience as a personal trainer and/or science journalist) that would be…

miller high life might work because it’s fairly malty and has almost no hops. i prefer dry hoppy beer for drinking (miller lite is my choice macro), but for cooking “drynand hoppy” it can be a bit... ughhh...

Exactly.  Not only is it more sanitary, but it means that both sexes have to do something before they use the toilet.  It eliminates the question as to who has to do “more work”, as well as the idea that women are going to “fall in because they just assumed that the seat was down and it was dark...”

First of all, I always say it was Blockbuster who killed the video store. Growing up in my area there were a large variety of video rental stores. Then Blockbuster came in and offered $1 rentals until everyone else went out of business and they immediately jacked up the price to $5 or more per rental with a FAR more…

Hmmm, my Plex server finds this intriguing.
