I thought online billpay had completely replaced my need to write checks. I use it for all the bills that charge those BS “convenience fees” for paying online. I use it to send funds to friends/family who aren’t very tech savvy.

But a few years back, I had to pay a vendor to work on my garage door. Cash or check only,…

Everything about your reply sounds right to me.

We talk to friends, acquaintances and strangers differently. For good reason. None of those reasons change just because you’re addressing someone who is pregnant.

You should learn how springs actually work.

Agreed.

I can say it was happening 20 years before your experience, and I’m sure there are others that would tell us that it was happening 20 years before that.

I’m on the fence about cultural appropriation in many instances, but this is simply trying to hard, and using false information to try to make it cultural…

Another problem is that twerking has been around in the US for much longer than the “cultural” ties that are mentioned here. As someone who was sneaking into strip clubs long before Big Freedia performed publicly and before those twerk teams were even alive, I can say that it definitively appears that twerking was…

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.

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

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?

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.
