I tried this once, and it all worked well in theory. Had all of my cute little sandwiches in the freezer wrapped in aluminum foil, but when I went to remove them from the foil they were stuck. I obviously couldn’t put them in the microwave with the foil still stuck to them, but it was nearly o=impossible to remove…

Yes, this most certainly applies to traveling. But, like you mentioned, this applies to everything. I used to travel all the time, and made lots of shallow friendships across the world. Great. Traveling became just a thing to do, like watching Netflix. Now that I don’t travel as often I can appreciate it more. …

Couldn’t agree more. But also, your comment is so true: “Lastly, keep applying to other positions and other companies just in case things don’t ever get better. Actually, never stop doing that. It’s how you climb in the professional world these days.”

Maybe this is me showing my innocence here, but I’m having trouble believing my stoner friends went to this much trouble to make pot brownies. I always just assumed that they used a regular box of mix plus some ground up weed. Guess that’s not a thing?

It’s not that I ghost, but I just mirror the level or engagement. When I sense things are getting too one-sided, I pull away. I stop reaching out, waiting for the other person to say “hi” first. They have never said “hi” first, so the relationship fizzles naturally, by attrition.

Fantastic explanation that I never thought of. Though I wish the video gave some sort of idea as to how to attempt to prevent cheating in happy relationships. Great that there is an explanation, but how does one avoid this potentially hurtful outcome?

Also, dinner parties. Every single recipe that you make at a dinner party should use this technique. No one wants to watch you scramble to find and measure ingredients, making a mess in the kitchen. This also helps to greatly reduce stress when cooking in front of other people.

My cats are weird. They have had name recognition since the day I named them, and then come when called. One of them even plays fetch. He loves it! But they don’t like treats. Guess I’ll have to give wet food a try if I want them jumping through hoops.

Yes! Also, this rule applies to every city you may visit that has an underground metro.

All I want is to be able to watch ABC and HGTV.

Yeah, but did you write a cheeky, fun-to-read blog about it?

Have you done burgers yet? Because there is always a lot of discussion on how to make the juiciest burger, and it seems that sous vide could be perfect.

Great ideas. I think the ceviche one could even be moved to the “Ready in 10-20 minutes” section, per this previous Skillet article.

Yes: If you deny it they can try and add you again. If you leave it pending they can’t.

I dress up for flights, but for a completely different reason. It’s about the experience. There is just something exciting about getting dressed up on your day off, like you’re getting ready for a fancy event. When I wear pajamas I’m doing boring/bland things around the house. My mind associates getting dressed up…

• What kind of lunch-carrying container do you use? I have this tall monogrammed lunchbox from Thirty-one that can hold my lunch and keep i cold all morning, if the office fridge is full. It’s also tall enough for a bottle of wine, for picnics.

I would star this, but my mandolin can slice and dice in so many useful ways that I would choose it instead. Especially when it comes to a small apartment kitchen.

I just went through this in the past few months. I realized that the structure of my organization was such that I wouldn’t be able to find a new position where I would be happy or challenged, and the company was so big (100+k employees) that I wouldn’t be able to redefine my role. I went looking for a new position…

I have several Macs, from an 11" MB Air to a 27" iMac, and a few in between the only dock that isn’t on the bottom is my 11" MB Air. All of the others in my home are docked at the bottom. No auto-hide. I may feel differently though, if I had to do actual work on these machines. If I had a Mac at work I would…
