I thought everyone knew not to use the Facebook app, and to instead access it via the web.  Facebook app is too invasive for most people.

Most teachers (and other occupations that interact with the public) have two FB profiles, one for real friends, and one for, well, the rest of us. A lot easier to carefully curate what you post that way.

Really, they’d have to be stupid or a saint to do it any other way (other than to eschew social media entirely).

Have something specific to share?

If you’re talking about where it comes from geographically, I’ll take the yummy pre-peeled California garlic from Costco over the cheap, (relatively) flavorless Chinese unpeeled garlic any day.

I thought everyone ate the skins? They’re delicious, and it’s also where the most nutrition is going to be.

I thought only picky eaters and little kids didn’t eat the skin.

They’ve actually removed their recommendation against chewing ice, as people were misunderstanding the issue. It’s not “over time bad for your teeth.” It’s a hard substance that can cause injury just like any other hard, brittle substance that you might bite.

The “over time” part of it is a myth.  Healthy teeth aren’t…

I think you didn’t read the article.  Fresh tomatoes never entered the conversation.

I thought this was a myth?

I had that same issue on Firefox this morning, but it’s fixed now.

That’s exactly what most cooks do. They wash their knife.

I don’t know about the science, but it definitely works for me.  Rubbing stainless steel removes onion/garlic smells from my hands.

1. CDC doesn’t certify N95 respirators, NIOSH does.
2. This doesn’t seem to on the list of approved respirators?

Bad advice.

Telegram doesn’t have secure group chats, and it doesn’t enable end to end encryption by default.

Signal is the best option, for sure.

Indeed. That’s how I usually do it, but I do prefer the dry heat of the oven if any bits are sticking out of the oil. It’s important that they’re totally submerged in the oil when doing it in the microwave.

Costco sells giant jugs of peeled garlic. You can fill the ramekin with garlic, add oil until it’s covered, then roast. You’ll have 20 times as much garlic, twice as much oil, and an infinite amount of flavor. You’ll be everyone’s hero when you’re serving it with goat cheese and toasted sourdough!

And you shouldn’t…

“Sure, people shouldn’t steal packages, but the number of video clips that feature children in them really makes you consider why people are stealing Christmas gifts to begin with—it’s hard out there right now, people.”

FYI, not all Android phones even have this app, or the issue that goes along with it.

Yeah, they definitely look nice at first. And, like I said, the concept is great.

Anyone have one of the machine washable rugs that is being advertised so heavily on social media these days?  Concept seems awesome, but I want to know how they really hold up. Rugable is the brand that I keep seeing pushed on me.

I read an article that said that people moving to Texas from other states tend to be MORE conservative than the average native Texan.

I just hope the libertarian spirit isn’t driven out of Texas. I love the sense of personal responsibility that tends to pervade both sides of the traditional political spectrum.  No…

Just wanted to let you know that I tried it and it didn’t do anything to improve the taste of the Taaka vodka ($9 a half gallon, well, 1.75L) that I bought to make a rosemary infusion. The infusion, however, is fantastic straight, on rocks, or in a cocktail. Bloody Marys are soooo good with rosemary vodka.

After Xmas,…
