AngryBob and BigAl have brought up a good point - restaurant staffs (staffers?) deserve a proper wage and unfortunately, we have a system where we require diners to make up the difference.

What’s a newspaper?

Sorry about your boyfriend :(

I still don’t have an airfrier. I’m thinking I could suspend them over a baking sheet at low oven temp?

My #1 annoyance: If it’s going to snow tonight, don’t leave your car(s) on the street! When the plow can’t get around your car, we all suffer.
I should mention that I live in a neighborhood where every house has a driveway.

“Drip machines suck”? Since “everyone knows that”, I wonder why they are the most popular, most common way of making coffee.

All that, plus the fact that someone forgot to replace the “unobtanium” placeholder with an actual name and they went with it anyway.

One of many recipes:https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/230049/chef-johns-make-ahead-turkey-gravy/. The key is to buy some turkey wings which produce lots of good drippings when roasted. You can make it weeks ahead, freeze it then add more drippings from your turkey when you are ready to serve.

Hi Claire! I’ve recently experimented with mixing different potatoes with great results. I’ll do half russets and half yukons with butter & cream. If it’s skins on (typically) we call that a “dirty” mash.

Meh. I’m old enough to join and I don’t see the point. AAA offers discounts on pretty much all the same stuff but better deals.
The real value is for the insurance for the retireds. Medicare Part B is necessary and ain’t cheap; AARP offers it for a good rate I’m told.

For my long-term storage freezer (that lives in the garage) I purchased a model that is NOT frost-free. Freezer-burn sucks.

People who confuse “podium” with “lectern” or “desk”. When someone says that they are standing behind the podium, I imagine they are crouching behind the little stage that the desk sits upon.

My preference is to NEVER use autopay. It is only advantages for the seller/biller, not ever for the user. If I ever had a bad month where I had to pick and choose whom I paid (thank goodness this hasn’t happened in years, but it’s always possible) I’d hate to think my mobile carrier or streaming service would get…

Many cyclists use cooking spray on the underside of the downtube - sort of like the wheel-well of the front tire. The spray keeps mud and dirt from this notoriously hard to clean area.

This is so timely. My 2019 Jetta lease expires next month and the best the dealer is willing to do on a new lease is a joke. I’ll get a third party loan (VW financing is high by comparison) and keep the balance of the warranty (3 years). The mileage is very low thanks to lockdown, and the previous owner is a super…

Oh, you missed so many things!

In my area (and probably yours too) there are plenty of coffee shops. Heck, every gas station and C-store offers excellent coffee and drink options these days. You do not have to go to Starbucks.

If I remember correctly, the reason I purchased my first bagless is because of the difficulty in finding the correct sized bags. Maybe it’s easier to find bags on-line now but years ago, if you had a more obscure size you were SOL and when they were in available you needed to hoard stock up. Before this post, I’d…

I’m guessing this is emblematic of the general leasing situation: the residual values are far lower than the actual values. As the article points out, used cars are worth more than dealers expected when they set residuals 3 or 4 years ago.
