Eight is not enough.

I spent at least 20 winters in upstate New York (Saratoga County) and I always did this one weird trick: start car, turn heat and main defrost on full blast, wait five minutes, scrape. The ice, more often than not, just slid off. 

Better advice: don’t open lines of credits you don’t need.

Recycled papermaking. You just need junk mail, water, a blender (that will never be used for food), two identical picture frames and some window screen to make a mould and deckle, and a flat board or window for the paper to dry on.

Ahh Space:1999. I don’t think they ever had a “happy” episode, at least in the first season. Every story was bleak AF. Season 2 is trash; three of the regular cast just disappear and they ditched the spectacular Main Mission set (their equivalent of a starship bridge). Yeah, Catherine Schell gets added as a regular…

We made and combined two packets of Chapagetti with two packets of Top Ramen and added in shredded turkey and some olive oil. 

I use Earplanes or Mack’s Flightguards whenever I fly so I don’t have to deal with ears a-poppin’. They’re pressure-relief earplugs that you wear during the ascent or descent, they even-out the pressure changes for those with sensitive earholes (like me). Earplanes even has an app that monitors barometric pressure…

What, no love for Mt. Angel, Oregon??

The thing is, most people don’t do regular maintenance on their vehicles. Especially checking tire pressure and tread.

I’ve been an “urban chicken farmer” for ... 11 years. Just some things to note from my experiences: build a secure coop & run using a fine gauge hardware cloth to wrap everything up (raccoons can tear through chicken wire like tissue paper). Chickens poop. A LOT. Get used to it... and keep this in consideration if you…

Assume I don’t want to engage in conversation.

TSA PreCheck, doing whatever you can to get in the earliest boarding queue so you don’t have to worry about gate-checking your carry-on (I don’t trust airlines with checked luggage), and always aisle seating. I hate announcing I have to shit in public. “Excuse me, I have to do something disgustingly biological, could…

I raise with Giant Hogweed

English Ivy is the worst thing ever.

It’s worth pointing out that the Easter egger chicken “breed” can produce one of several different colors. You don’t know which color until they start laying, and they lay that color for the rest of their lives. The two Easter eggers we’ve had both produced baby blue eggs. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Easter_egger
