^^THIS!^^ I’m almost positive I read the same article though I can’t recall where (popped up in my Apple News feed). We’re basically boned.

Oh god, I worry about this too.

Would you mind posting a link to the “mask muzzles” that have worked well for you? I have severe asthma, and have considered getting some to wear inside my masks so I could potentially breathe a little better. But when I searched Amazon, most of the reviews seemed mixed, or the ones I thought might work well weren’t…

I keep a flat razor blade paint scraper in my kitchen just for scraping burned on messes from glass (glass cooktop and oven/toaster oven door windows). When I insert a fresh blade into the scraper (every few years or so), I carefully “round” the sharp corners of the new blades with an emery board or sandpaper to…

Yeah, taking off the door and pulling it apart is pretty simple (assuming you are physically able to lift the weight of the door). But on my oven door, the glass panels are held in place with some heat safe double sided tape. Once I realized we didn’t have any heat-safe replacement tape around (and since I’m not about…

What’s the brand of Japanese sunscreen you like?

I think the idea (obviously unscientifically explained here) is that HA is a humectant, which is designed to attract moisture from the environment. This humectant effect results in the skin appearing more plump and feeling more moisturized. But if there is less moisture in the air, or if the HA containing product is…

Thank you! Yeah, I just looked at their process: https://www.oatly.com/int/our-process , and it does look like they heat the liquid for pasteurization. Also, some mention of enzymes added to help break down the starches.

Thank you. But I have a sincere question— when you say you’re not a fan of oats in uncooked things... are you able to actually digest it? Because I’m not able to digest it... which is very different than just not liking it.

Exactly. I’m physically disabled, and the ableism around here is just exhausting. It’s not always intentional, but it still gets old. 

Thank you for this! I’m probably gonna stay clear. Looks like the only heating process they use is intended for pasteurization. If this is similar to the relatively quick process used for pasteurizing milk, that might not be long enough. There is some mention of adding enzymes to help break down starches, but tbh I’m…

Not all of us are faddy eaters.

In the mid-80’s, my uncle and his new wife honeymooned at Disneyworld. At the time they had no kids.

I’ve had lactose intolerance and a sensitivity to the proteins in cow’s milk for over 30 years now. Because of the milk protein sensitivity, even if I consume tons of lactaid (lactase enzyme) to help me digest the lactose, I still have to tread very lightly when it comes to dairy. I can occasionally handle small…

Has anyone here tried oat milk and discovered that they just can’t tolerate it?

Yeah, I’ve seen those! It’s cool that they’ve made a hybrid solution.

I had the opposite reaction— but not because there’s anything usually wrong with finger sucking. Mostly grossed out because we’re still in the midst of a pandemic, ya know? And he was sucking on her finger while in a public setting. Like, did her finger taste like hand sanitizer? If not, please tell me she’d just…

I love this sink! Just as pandemic lock downs began, I had a very similar sink on order, to be installed with new countertops. Ended up canceling the order because I didn’t wanna risk having installers inside my home (disabled now, so this isn’t something I could diy). Every single day for the past year, I’ve missed…

Yes! I could watch Sohla El-Wahlly cook just about anything! She is a goddamned treasure! She’s such a creative genius and so, so funny. Glad she’s spending more time on camera, and hopefully enjoying more creative control, especially after being underpaid and treated like shit during her time at BA.  

Yes! I said this to someone else in this thread. It’s so gross.
