When picking a standing desk, if you have a multi monitor setup and large laptop, weight may become an issue. Check the weight rating. You can have more than the listed weight since the desk locks into position, but you’ll need to use more effort to and be more careful raising or lowering the desk since the springs…

For beer bread, ditch the cheap lager for a nice porter. There’s a bitterness and sweetness that really add to the flavor in a way some bland nondescript beer just doesn’t. It adds a fullness of flavor without being overpowering.

Also say the name out loud with last name and also first middle and last name for any unfortunate sounding combinations. Don’t forget to see if the initials spell anything unfortunate. And my favorite test, first initial last name. Working in IT I’ve gotten immense pleasure from the following names, A Holz, S Hart and…

Back when I first got my Instapot I contacted their support about submerging the lid and they said they do not recommend it but to only wiping it down.

At my Christian school we would sing one that says Jesus’s name, but not the birthday person’s, which seems fair.

Taking pictures of the refrigerator and every cabinet you store items in seems like a less effective method than, like everyone else has suggested, lists. Use whatever shopping list app you like on your phone. Most of the time I add items to my list throughout the week whenever I think of things I might need. Shopping…

Bypass the preset buttons and use the manual settings, especially for the bluetooth version through the phone app for much less confusing and more customizable control.

Except the parts stained with feces, blood, semen and tears.

Anyone who wants to spend a portion of their disposable income on raw water, by all means, drink as much of the stuff as you can afford. The resulting premium dysentery you acquire will be a lesson the wonders of microbiology and it’s ability to turn your colon into a water slide.

Yes, kids need stability and structure, but that is not what she’s talking about. She’s not talking about the daily routines that help give children guidance and focus. She is talking about the type of rituals that are regular but not frequent to build fond memories. In either case you need to find the things that…

First off, you had a great childhood without a lot of rituals, but now to be a good parent you suddenly need a lot of rituals. Take a deep breath, relax and realize repetitive does not necessarily equal love and more often equals pacification of personal neuroses. Spending time doing something together regardless of…

It would be nice if science could stay out of politics.

Were talking cheese here. One of the most important creations in the universe. I’m sure there is a luthier in need of cat gut for strings that could take them off or hands. If not, who’s hungry for cat caserole? Yum yum.

Here’s all you need to do. Fly her to France for a romantic vacation (you have a magic money tree or golden goose don’t you). Point out how much better the cheese is everywhere and conclude that it must be because it’s always kept on the counter in a basket or cheese board. Then when you get back home and are…

Many types of cheese require no refrigeration at all and actually benefit from not being refrigerated. Considering whole point of cheese wass to make dairy products last longer when refrigeration wasn’t an option, a cheese that has been aged for years does not suddenly require refrigeration just because you have…

Hi-Soft. They don’t dull your knives, NSF certified, easy to keep clean and can be sanded as needed. Since switching I haven’t used wooden boards since. This or similar synthetic rubber boards are what you’ll see in sushi restaurants where blade sharpness and cleanliness of work surface are critical.

The bless you thing makes no sense whatsoever and serves no valuable purpose. You don’t bless people when they cough, hiccup, burp or fart so there is no rational reason for doing it for sneezes. Politeness is saying please and thank you, or holding a door open for someone behind you not for phlegm related blessings.…

The best way to greet a service dog is DON’T. The dog is not there for your amusement any more than someone’s cane or wheelchair. Every urge to pet a dog does not have to be acted upon.

The Dune was a terrible movie. 2 hours of whispering and scenes that made sense only if you had read the books, the heart plug scene comes to mind.

Yes, unfortunately there will always be situations where some are kept from the advances of the modern world through no fault of their own. For the ones who can, use the technology available and help the ones who can’t yet. Clay tablets are more accessible than pens but we stopped using them for general use.
