stinging rebuke of Republican Gov. Paul LePage

I had the same question. We tried anodic protection on the Z (blocks of zinc) - no luck. Probably would have worked if the sheet metal had all been galvi.

Forgot to mention: I rolled the odometer twice, then came close to doing it again. No digit for hundreds on that car. The drivetrain was absolutely trouble-free through all that* - and I did plenty of stupid stuff.

I had one of those. Total blast to drive. Major issue with body rust. My friend the body shop owner (because of course you get to be friends when you’re in the shop getting the rust fixed on a regular basis) said to me: “robert... put that car in a dark room and you can hear it rust...”

Never mind traveling in time, travel in the present - to Hawai’i. Only place I’ve ever been where mixed couples (and mixed kids) is seen as ‘just normal’.

You realize that making this about the anthem is a pivot? The point of kneeling is to bring attention to how badly Black people are being treated.

If you get any kind of ‘discontinuation notice’ from anybody - go to their webpage (not the link in the email - although a scammer will try to make it ‘look right’), login, see what’s up with your account. If you use their fake link, they’ll get your login details as well.

About the only thing that will make me drop my tip below 20% at a restaurant is if the wait person screws up. Delays and mix-ups in the kitchen don’t count, but leaving a meal after there’s been a mix-up, and not coming back to the table to check for 5 or 10 minutes certainly does.

Cooks Illustrated has done a review of supermarket turkeys. Not surprisingly, Butterball was in the ‘not recommended’ category, and Jennie-O as the best of the water-injected.

Got vegetarians coming? I’ve tried a few non-turkey recipes, and this tofu loaf is close enough to turkey that some of your omnivores may prefer it.

Bingo! Wish I had more stars to give.

Did you know that one of your options with replies to your posts is ‘dismiss’? I don’t hesitate to use it when someone makes a troll-ish reply. If they’ve raised a question you want to answer but called you something rude (e.g. ‘fucktard’) you can answer the question and still dismiss their post - just reply to your…

I’d guess it depends on whether you care about having a bit of fiber in your diet, and how you feel about glycemic index,

I was wondering if there was a port of Privoxy to Android. And there is.

Looking at what Kevin Spacey wrote, how, exactly, do you apologize for something that happened 30 years ago and that you don’t remember? I expect it’s hard to say, ‘yeah, I did that’ when you have zero recollection of it happening.

You can make cranberry sauce weeks in advance.

Sorry, but I have to disagree, I wouldn’t put raw flour into a gravy. Just make some more roux, mix that in.

Fetch? i’ve never had a dog that would bring something like that back to me... :-)

A ‘gravy’ is just a roux mixed with drippings from whatever it is you are cooking. Making a roux in a pan in the middle of everything else (things are busy in a thanksgiving kitchen) is a recipe for failure - even though it needs pretty constant whisking, you will keep getting pulled away from it - and then it lumps,…

just to tow the party line.
