Yeah, honestly, that’s why I’m on Tinder and only Tinder at this point, so only men 23-31 who don’t explicitly say that they want six kids/have a picture of them shaking hands with Newt Gingrich can message me. But yeah, dudes can be reeeeeal unreasonable about taking a couple hours to get back to them...like, maybe…

Compromise: tell them you’re not a good fit but don’t feel compelled to respond to endless requests for justification?

You mean everyone doesn’t just eat pumpkin pie for breakfast the day after thanksgiving?

Look for operating system manuals. I’ve seen big thick monster tech books for Win9x at my library. Any old OS will do. Maybe find something big and thick, to do with Unix. It will repel most everyone. : )

If you also roast the mirapoux and garlic (if so included), it adds another depth of flavor in your stock.

Instead of seven hours in a crockpot, make chicken stock in a pressure cooker. Done in 60 minutes. Absolutely fab

thanks! my local rural walmart has it, i just discovered, in the baby section (looked online). that’s a part of the supermarket i never visit so it went unnoticed. no asian/latin grocers around here for 100s of miles though the big supermarkets do cater to the population.

Turducken Butter FTW !

Oh yeah? How about bacon duck chicken butter?

Guys, learn to love your ladies’ body hair. If you decide to step away from the arbitrary norms of what hair is acceptable and what hair isn’t (at least in your own home), the lady in your life will probably really appreciate it.

Especially with pitcher cocktails, if you are going to have a mixer that will freeze, try making the pucks with some mixer so your drinks won’t get too watered down. At the same time you can also up the octane slightly if you expect significant melting to occur before the pitcher is refreshed.

Yeah, that sucks, but you’re right on target with what happened. MLA released their new edition and so for a while everyone won’t be able to buy used. It really is bad timing—MLA hadn’t released a revision in like a decade before this year.

I am almost 30 and back in school. I use my student ID alllllll the time.

Never cared for pimento cheese myself...but in my family, and where I grew up, a cheese-and-olive spread is popular. I may try this recipe and substitute olives for the pimento...and maybe horseradish for the hot sauce. It’s a Western Maryland thing.

Nope, he doesn’t even use a recipe book. Absolutely nothing he makes is from a book it’s all what his grandmother taught him and has in his head. He also does not use measuring cups or spoons as his Grandmother never used them.

There are bulk rolls and individual bags available out there that work with this system that are much, much cheaper than the foodsaver branded bags. I use them all the time and they work just as well, if not even better.

Wow. I’m special. Being a bad tipper is absolutely a deal-breaker for me.

Even if you had the vet put a microchip in your cat, you also need to register the chip with your name, address, phone number, email, etc.

Kitchen tips for parents. Put all the plastic kids stuff in a bottom drawer so your kids can develop self sufficiency skills. With littlw kids, put ALL sharp items in a single drawer so it can be locked. That way you only have to deal with one locked drawer instead of a bunch of them.

Shared this with a friend from across the country who actually works at a comics shop and also happens to be black, and has many amusing stories about casual nerd racism. He had a pretty good comment I'm going to paraphrase here.
