Butter, mayo or some other layer of fat is vital to the construction of many sandwiches for a very good (and scientific) reason: It seals moisture away from the bread so that it doesn’t get soggy.

Whether your preference is butter or mayo is personal, but not the fact that some (most?) sandwiches absolutely need that…

Huh.  Never seen or heard of those.  Had to look up belted galloway.

I just want to say that Dr. Bronner’s soaps are awesome.  I use their regular ol’ liquid castille soap to refill foaming handsoap dispensers.  Put a half inch of soap in and fill it the rest of the way with water and you’ve got real foaming soap (not detergent) that will really clean your hands. 

They’re the most common beef cattle around here. They carry a LOT of meat on ‘em for being such a moderate size overall, and they do well just about everywhere. Very hardy.

I thought they had pretty much taken over the beef industry. What kind of beef do they raise in Florida? Brahman?

Looks good, but pricey. Are you able to turn the watch’s GPS completely off?

Are you sure Android doesn’t do it natively, or via the WearOS app in Android?

I could delete the companion app for Pebble and still get notifications. I can delete the companion app for my Amazfit Bip and still get notifications. I don’t think the Bluetooth connection is dependent on a companion app. Maybe some…

Wait, notifications go through the Wyze app?  So Wyze gets to read all my text messages?  I figured it would use Android’s hook to just forward it on via bluetooth.  This thing might just go right back for a refund.

I live just outside of Dallas and I go by a ranch that runs a huge herd of Red Brangus. They’re good looking cattle and the bulls are intimidating looking.

I think the breed matters much more to the ranchers than to the consumers of beef. Texas Longhorns do great in the Texas heat, but they don’t have a lot of meat on…

My GF thinks they’re cute, too. Always needing to have their bangs cut...

She also likes Longhorn cattle.

Wait, maybe there’s something Freudian going on there...  Nah, sometimes a horn is just a horn, right?

This just shows that everyone wants a smartwatch for different reasons.

I want to be able to go on a week long business trip without needing to charge it.

There is no successor. FitBit did buy out Pebble, and then shut them down and has done nothing with the brand. Hasn’t even incorporated any of the tech into their own watches, that I can tell.

There is a good community updated spreadsheet if you are looking for Pebble-like features:

I think the author offers a great balance of reviews, and seems pretty accurate on the watches that I’ve personally seen.

That’s good! Review units are sketchy. Off the shelf reviews are always better (but I bet Giz doesn’t buy these watches for you to write about, so I understand). But surely your editor will shell out $20 to order a watch for you to review!

They say my crowdfunding order is supposed to ship at the end of April, so I’m…

If you want to live dangerously, turn the overflow cover so that the hole is pointing down. This will allow you to fill your tub to the brim (or even overflow it, hence the “living dangerously” warning).

I use a sponge. It’s like magic. No need for abrasives at all.

Unless you already have coke laying around, I’d start with vinegar.  That’s something we all have on hand for cleaning, and it’s so effective here.

I don’t think “everyone” can learn. There is a LOT that goes in to sharpening knives.

If you’re a knife enthusiast, it’s fun to learn about the angles and stones needed to sharpen different knives properly.  But it’s a lot to learn.  Even if you just want to keep the same blade geometry as the knife maker used…

Vinegar or any other mild acid will take care of urine deposits pretty quickly.  Coca-cola works if you have any that’s gone flat.

Indeed.

Cooks need to realize that knives need professional sharpening every year or so. Dull knives are dangerous!

In many areas the local DFW is recommending that...
