To be honest, I’ve found the microwave to be the best biscuit warmer. Takes only seconds and it doesn’t dry them out. Cold biscuits are like hockey pucks because of all the butter in them, so heating them from the inside in a microwave gets them fluffy and soft again because warms the butter all the way through.

Interesting. I’m less concerned with social engineering as I tend to think that most things government and business do are in some form social engineering. My big thing is reducing/eliminating means-testing (it’s ineffective that we drive people into poverty before they qualify for social help) and absurdly punitive…

Sincere question. Why are you for UBI while being against headcount-based tax credits (which are basically the closest thing to UBI the US has)?

Perhaps, but it’s currently still scheduled so my hope is they’re working on shuffling some stock around to keep current appointments. 

Not likely. I’ve done some looking, but nothing. This morning was literally the first time in the weeks since I became eligible that I got a whiff of an appointment that was less than 3 hours drive from me, and there seemed to be a bunch of available J&J appointments, so I’m guessing pretty much anything that pops up…

After weeks of trying, I finally scheduled a vax appointment (for J&J) this morning, and literally 10 minutes after hitting “schedule” I got the news notification about this decision. I’m not worried at all about the risk, but super worried my appointment (tomorrow noon) will get canceled.

Yes. That's enough salt. Which was the entire point of my post.

My comment was about home cooking in general, but yes it applies to salting pasta water too.

FYI, butter is the difference between your cooking at home and what you think tastes better at a restaurant.

A grill and a gas stove function the same just like a butane lighter and a solo stove can both light a cigarette.

It’s more about the exchange of thermal energy of the two appliances. Gas stoves are intended to direct infrared heat to a relatively small space underneath a pot (that’s why they’ll boil water faster than your grill). Grills are intended to disperse a large amount of infrared, convective, and radiant heat across a…

I would like to see information about the fees added to the listed rates on major booking sites. I’m always like, “oh $125/night isn’t bad” only to find out that it’s $500+ total for a three-night weekend stay.

My neck hurts just thinking about trying to work in a recliner.

I bought this chair near the beginning of the pandemic. It’s been pretty nice for the price.

I’ve been on T-mobile prepaid for almost 10 years (first the $30/mo Walmart plan and now the Simply Prepaid 10gigs/mo), and I’ve always been able to access the T-mobile Tuesdays deals. I’ve done this MLB TV deal every year it’s been offered. 

Eat burritos in the car? No! The kids are gone. Eat burritos in the house!

I’ve never thought of the ice bath as a technique for easy peeling (I definitely start in boiling water for easy peeling). I’ve always done it to stop the cooking so the eggs don’t over cook, and for quick cooling so I can use the eggs soon after cooking.

You should let them warm a bit if you don’t want a couple of the shells to crack. That said, I rarely remember to take them out of the fridge and I’m generally using a couple eggs immediately after cooking, so I don’t mind if a couple of them crack.

It’s worth a watch. 

I mean, when you quote me out of context it sounds worse than the actual point I was trying to make, sure.
