Now dump the popped kernels into a bowl and put the unpopped ones back in the bag. Stick that into the microwave for :45-:60 and BOOM, you have more popped kernels.

I just eat the seeds. I’m that guy.

Conversely, if you don’t own all this metalworking equipment or if you got to the third sentences of the directions and decided, nope, this was not for you, you can just buy a Solo Stove. I have one and can heartily recommend. They’re not cheap, but they’re also not terribly expensive. They have frequent sales.

A 20 quart stock pot is pretty small, I’m wracking my brain trying to think of other materials that could be used. Any ideas? If you can get your hands on it, a stainless steel clothes washer or dryer tub would probably work well. Does anyone know of any good videos that demonstrate this?

30 Helens agree: the original theme song was a banger.

A couple more: Slit along the side (like the blade protector or bucket grip), snap it over the edges waste baskets with bags to keep the bag from falling down into the can; place over thin wiring you don’t want your dog to chew; around dog chain to keep it from tangling, and if it is big enough, over the top edges of…

Weed has three to ten times the tar per joint compared to the average cigarette. At least based on analysis done before legalization. Smoking is still smoking.

I don’t know, I’ve decided that purposefully inhaling any carcinogens into my lungs is not something I need to do going forward. 

I’d love to know what prompted this article.  Before the pandemic I was part of a group that went to a new restaurant monthly, so I knew a ton of foodies.  Most of us wouldn’t have dreamed of going to a restaurant nicer than Chipotle without making a reservation. 

Also, I’ve never heard of the idea of reservations being “old-fashioned” from the customer side. If anything the more common situation I’ve found is where I want to make a reservation, but the restaurant isn’t doing them. Which I can understand if they for whatever reason aren’t signed up for services that require a…

Discounting the liqueurs, gin, and flavored stuff.

I’d say this is all wrong.

Distilled/age liquor like whiskey or rum is insanely stable stuff. Open or not. Yes it can oxidize and there’s an outside chance that makes it actively unpleasant and obviously things will evaporate. But I’ve polished off a bottle whiskey…

For some reason I’ve never had to worry about how long liquor lasts after opening the bottle.

I wish I wasn’t shocked that this sounds like two extremely normal people making good decisions and being able to respect each other in a public and private way.

Trail-trotters,

If Putin died now, I’d say it was very timely.

Whelp, that was surprisingly emotional.

Welllll, shiiit. Made me cry.

I don’t get the snarky take here. This isn’t some random cash grab - it’s a legend whose onetime best friend was killed coming as close as he can to sharing a stage with his friend one more time. It’s not “see John as if he were alive” or something creepy.
