Odd, I swear I always heard that you should use a lot MORE water than you would think because it keeps it from sticking together in the pot.

Pasta keeps/ reheats well, so I always just make the full pound and portion it out for leftover lunches. :)

Yeah I only assumed Google would try to grab it based on their size and influence, prior art notwithstanding.

Given the rumors of the new Google Phones being dubbed Pixel (instead of Nexus), I’m surprised there’s not a trademark fight going on over this.

I always go back and forth. My cards aren’t membership cards (if I carried all of those, i’d need a wallet wagon or something), I use StoCard for that, but there’s enough random shit -- insurance card, work AmEx, gym card key, personal and joint debit cards, license -- that I need just often enough that if ti’s not…

I mean... the answer is obviously no, “everywhere” I go I need my debit card and my license and I’m pretty much fine. But I’m also not particularly good at remembering things, so when I go to a Dr’s appt, I don’t have my insurance card unless it’s in my wallet anyway. If I need to purchase something for work, I…

I just carry a “normal” wallet in my front pocket. I’ve toyed with the whole minimalist thing but I just need to carry too many cards that it becomes ironically unwieldy.

It’s on Wikipedia, it has to be true!

Ha! I remember as a kid it would be a thing some people could do on command. Until this thread I actually didn’t know the term was well-known (I googled it before typing my initial response) or just something my idiot grade school friends made up 30 years ago. Not sure how common the “it comes out when you yawn”…

One with saliva and glands?

One reasonable reason to cover your mouth when you yawn is the dreaded involuntary gleek. Nothing worse than yawning and all of a sudden the paper in front of you is covered in tiny droplets of spit.

Thanks for the sanctimonious response. I more meant when she’s a passenger and I’m driving, it’s either at her feet (not ideal) or on the seat behind her (not ideal).

As a husband, I wish this were the case too, as this usually means if I’m in the car with my wife, the purse is either crammed in with the passenger’s feet (uncomfortable) or in the backseat (inconvenient for her).

Yeah I’m sure a lot of my memory of the horrible things that happened to that car are faulty, especially because I was young and knew little about cars at the time.

Noooooo!

If you’re at all squeamish, a spring trap might not be pleasant but it’s typically pretty quick. Sticky traps can be a fucking HORROR SHOW. The first and only time I used sticky traps, I had a mouse chew off his own feet trying to escape, at which point his head got stuck into the glue. And then they just die of…

I’d almost prefer sandpaper, as sandpaper would have some “grip.” I find using Scott like using printer paper. Might as well just smear everything around for an hour.

Learned half of this one by accident once. Took me frustratingly long to figure out the other half....

I like Amazon for a lot of reasons and use it way more than I should, but their UI is NOT one of their strong suits. I just played with this for 10 minutes or so, and it’s about what I’d expect -- pretty much worse than almost every car comparitor on the market. It’s not terrible, but it suffers from all of the…
