Slideshow?  Nope.

Because you’re a weirdo if you don’t put mayo on both sides?

Like mayo, butter is a fat that will provide the same barrier to moisture that prevents sandwiches from getting soggy. Very different flavor profile, though.

I’m not sure Miracle Whip does the same thing, so that explains why butter was the go-to in your family to keep bread from getting soggy.

Mustard doesn’t provide a barrier to prevent bread from getting soggy, and, in fact, itself can make the bread soggy.

Up your sandwich game and put mayo on the bread, and then mustard on the mayo!

Sure, but we all know that being morbidly obese is working that heart like a mofo. My point clearly stands.

Cardio is indeed exercise slang for cardiovascular exercise, but it’s also fine all by itself to refer to things related to one’s heart.

There are some people looking for cardio fitness that aren’t interested in (or are unable to participate in) other types of cardiovascular exercise. Don’t assume everyone is looking

But the heart is a muscle, and it’s definitely working more when I’m in the sauna. Even if the increased calorie burning is trivial, it’s definitely doing some cardio work, no?

Came here to mention the same thing. My heartrate goes higher in a sauna than it does during a brisk walk, so it’s got to have some sort of mild cardio benefit and calorie burning, I would think.  Is there really evidence to the contrary?

As a lawyer, surely, you suspect that saying “we reserve all rights” is affirmation that whatever they’re saying isn’t an unequivocal settlement offer on whatever their message is?

And how would these trash confidentiality statements be enforced? If some lawyer sends me an email with sensitive information, it has one

Not always ideal, but putting on loud movies DURING fireworks/thunderstorms also helps mask that the noise is coming from outside.  Jurassic Park was a popular one for my dog.  She didn’t care about loud movies at all, but firework and thunderstorms would make her very anxious. 

Knives. They also usually carry a good selection of Victorinox Fibrox knives, which are absolutely the best bang for your buck if you need some good steel. They may not be as pretty as some fancy knives, but they’re great knives!

Have you done an article on knives already?

Crepe Myrtle is a nice tree that can be pruned to make a nice “fence” and has nice flowers. The foliage will be off the ground, though.

The news van won’t get there before you can find clothes or a sheet to wrap yourself in.  I hear people say this whenever sleeping naked is brought up, but, honestly, it’s a phobia.  It’s an unreasonable fear.

It might. It might attract them, but what would trap them?

There’s a dry ice shortage around me, though. Not sure why.

But also don’t pay the premium price for big names, either. Injection molded coolers are nice, but Coleman and Igloo make some “extreme” coolers that are just as effective (but a little less rugged) for a tenth the price.

If you’re at home, there is a relatively new tech that also works: CO2 traps. Mosquitos are attracted to your CO2 rich exhalations. There are traps that you put in the far corners of your yard that work to attract mosquitos to them instead of you.

Obviously, this won’t work if you’re going to a park or hiking, but it’s

Yes. Preventing them from breeding near you is important. Mosquito dunks are good if you’re unable to keep the water drained (bird baths, stock tanks, natural ponds, etc...). Harmless to everything else, but it prevents mosquito breeding.

Rule #1: Never, EVER, shake a baby.

This is kinda a sad inside joke from when I had a baby. My kid was born in a hospital that, at the time, led the nation in shaken baby deaths. They had a mandatory class on not shaking babies.

Adobe is not my favorite PDF software.

I prefer PDF X-Change, which allows you to save “optimized” versions that are compressed.

You kinda touched on it, but the whole ‘burning off’ thing will avoid much of this. I was horrified when I saw a neighbor take burgers off the grill, turn off the gas, close the lid and walk away last year.

Let your grill burn on high for 15-30 minutes after you’re done cooking and grease will NOT build up like this.
