The really heavily marbled steaks are going to be grain-fed (and quite probably pumped full of antibiotics and added hormones). Pastured (grass-fed) beef is definitely leaner, and actually more flavorful, I’d say, although if you’re accustomed to basically eating a slice of fat, that might take some getting used to.…

“I recently converted to veganism so I’m looking for replacements for yogurt, tuna, and turkey”

Yeah, I’ll second that. I love yoga, but there are some crappy (and dangerous) instructors out there. I have a friend who tore a pectoral (!) when the instructor tried to “help” him into a pose he obviously wasn’t ready for.

I actually like DST, and would be happy to have it here. People who complain about the one-hour jump twice a year obviously don’t make many 13-time-zone flights.

After the big earthquake and tsunami in 2011, when there were rolling brown-outs and a serious need to cut back on power use, a number of companies activated…

That would be a great chance to re-season your cast-iron pans occasionally, as well, if you rub some oil on them before putting them in. Two birds, one stone!

We don’t have DST in Japan, but Tokyo seems to be in the wrong time zone: both sunrise and sunset unreasonably early, all year round (well, I guess in the winter sunrise is at a reasonable hour, but it’s certainly not late).

Yeah, I do this as a sort of “magic trick”. I require that the subject maintain eye contact with me, and repeatedly demand that they hiccup now. Nobody can, of course, but their attention has been focused on the action of the diaphragm (required to “attempt” a hiccup), and within moments their hiccups are cured. I’ve…

Isn’t this just basically GTD?

The input box says “Enter Goal (individual or organizational)“...

I’ve tried doing this, but it didn’t really work. I wonder if there’s some kind of particular trick to it. Tried both circular and back-and-forth motions, to no avail...

I leave mine in my home office overnight to charge, where I put it at least a half an hour before I want to go to sleep (preferably an hour). This also keeps me from checking it as soon as I wake up. Anybody who needs to reach me in a true emergency has my landline number, and there’s a handset in the bedroom.

Alt+hyphen works in most programs in OS X; in iOS, just hold down the hyphen for a selection of all three. No idea about Windows or Android.

Hold down the hyphen and you get a selection of all three.

I love em-dashes, but I hate the way the New Yorker doesn’t put any space around them. It looks crammed together, which is the opposite of the effect I want when I use a dash or dashes. I don’t bother with en-dashes.

I think I’d be very tempted to eat that before I even froze it. Mousse!

Obviously, either one has pros and cons: even if you’ve got a picnic table, if the weather’s bad you’d be better off with a crockpot in the room. If you’re tenting, of course, a crockpot won’t very often be an option.

OK, but you’ve used it as an adverb in the post in question. ;)

My wife and I keep talking about trying a vegetarian diet, or at least ovo- &/or lacto-vegetarian. I think we’ll probably start with a week trial, though. Committing to a month with no meat whatsoever might seem just a bit too daunting.

I never had a bad soda habit, but I got one of those Soda Stream seltzer-water makers, and fizzy water with a shot of real lemon or lime juice is now my go-to beverage (even replacing beer on the weekdays).

If you used a flexible cutting board, you might even be able to pack everything into the crock pot.
