I was gifted some Lume a while back (still not sure what to think about that), and it’s the best deodorant I’ve ever used.  I have bought some more, but it hurts to pay that much for deodorant.  I sure wish something much cheaper worked as well.

It seems they’re priced differently in different places. Interesting.

My Costco has relish and onions, but no sauerkraut.

Weird, I don’t remember the price exactly, but I seem to remember that a hotdog at Sam’s was around $5, which is a far cry from $1.50 for a hotdog and soda at Costco.

I actually got a Sam’s membership a couple of years ago, almost entirely so that I could buy their industrial disinfectant concentrate (a gallon that costs $5 makes hundreds of gallons of sanitizer).  Costco was absolutely superior in every other way that I would use the membership.  By far.

I totally agree.  And yet, over a decade ago, I somehow did it.  It was utterly surprising to me when I reached in my pocket and nothing was there!

Pretty sure the sensor is enclosed somewhere and measures the clarity of water that goes through it.  So, it doesn’t even see your dishes, it just measures how dirty the water gets.

I forgot my wallet once, years ago. I was aghast. The server blew it off as being no problem. I offered to leave my phone and he wouldn’t let me. He just said to come back that day or the next and pay it at my convenience. I raced home to get my wallet right away. He got a MUCH bigger tip than I normally would have…

Vinegar is great at removing soap buildup (and deodarant stains in the armpits of shirts). I put some in every load, and it’s so dilute that you cannot smell it after the laundry is washed. You can (and I strongly dislike it) smell it when you’re putting it in the washer.

This “article” has so many true facts, and yet, it’s still filled with misinformation. 

Right, and if you remove most of the stuff that will make the sensor tell it to keep washing, you may not get the dirtiest dishes clean.

In other words, it can only measure the average dirtiness of the entire load of dishes, not the cleanliness of individual dishes.

If you’ve designed a sensor that can tell whether the amount of dirt is due to one really dirty dish, or a bunch of moderately dirty dishes, I’m sure you could make a lot of money!

“Do your skincare routine as you normally would, including your toner, your serums, your retinol, and even your standard moisturizer.”

If you put a bunch of really dirty dishes in, it’s going to max out the wash process, right? If you put a bunch of clean dishes in, it’s going to have the shortest rinse process, right? If you put a bunch of medium dirty dishes in, it’s going to have a medium wash process, right?

For those with kids (or who are still big kids, like me), add a few drops to your bottle of bubble solution and your bubbles will be MUCH stronger.  Great for blowing big bubbles that float away without popping until you can’t see them!

Keep in mind grocery stores have different policies for how long foods can be outside of refrigeration while stocking shelves. I’ve seen employees with a giant cart full of yogurt and biscuits pulled out into the 70 degree aisle, stocking the refrigerated shelf for over an hour. Normally no problem, right? Except for…

My point is that plain English definitions are fine to use, even if the clinical definitions are more precise in some situations. There’s nothing wrong with using English words in a lay manner.

Particularly, as in your cancer example, when the clinical definition that we know today came from an existing word with a…

Good point about how some of these words are used today because of their clinical definitions, but the opposite is also true.

And yet, those words also have definitions that have the same meaning.  Incredible! 

Yes! Normalize the realization that words (and names) can have more than one meaning! I’m not the only Dave in the world, and you’re not the only Beth. 

I’m in a snake ID group on the book of faces, and the moderators often point out that “venomous” is more appropriate to use than “poisonous” when describing those…

I think it’s important to remember that these words have clinical definitions, but they also have plain English definitions.
