Listen to it? It’s a Bosch. I can’t hear that thing even when I am standing right next to it.  No need to set the timer and run it in the middle of the night or turn up the volume on the TV to compensate.

I assume it means it is made of mostly carbon. Mostly it just means it costs more :).

It’s free, but you can take advantage of in-app purchases like unlimited plant ID privileges.

If the last episode is done in the style of a Matt Groening cartoon, it would have to be Maggie.

Do you mean chipotle in adobo sauce? I’m not being a pedantic dick here (for once), I’m just wondering if this is a product I don’t know about and want to try.

I’m not confusing them, I’m saying people with “emotional support animals” want other people to confuse them and to get the same treatment as real service animals. They try to abuse the system and that hurts people using it legitimately. 

Your Pyrex bowl is going to insulate better than a brown paper bag and if the bowl was also refrigerated and cold, that is going to stay cold and keep food cooler a lot longer than a brown paper bag.

Often these rules exist because a few people take advantage. Some people take advantage of service animal rules and get their pet “certified” and some people don’t control their animals. Our favorite bar used to allow dogs inside, but had to stop because some owners weren’t being responsible and were just letting…

Illinois does need to save money, it is bankrupt and is going to have trouble meeting it’s pension requirements.  But that law may also exist to make it harder to award contracts based on who pays the bigger kick back or who’s cousin made the bid.  Sadly, these things happen regularly in Illinois.

Whatever your budget or food needs, it is almost always cheaper to buy something in it’s original form and break it down yourself. You can also probably use the “waste” to make more food. Instead of buying chicken parts, buy a whole chicken and cut it into pieces. Buy a chicken and roast it yourself instead of buying…

Substitute literally anything for “McDonald’s” and this story remains accurate.

Barsanti? Never!

The main problem with “The Sisters Brothers” is that the trailers sold it as a dark comedy. I enjoyed the movie, but it was not what they advertised.

I know they have electronic column-inches to fill, but I don’t know why people keep falling for this. ScarJo is done with Disney/Marvel, Peter Jackson isn’t making “The Hobbit.” It is always about money. Somebody sues? Somebody quits? Somebody else fired? It is ALWAYS just part of negotiations in Hollywood.

These bottles don’t look all that similar. Different heights, different shapes, different fonts on the label:

It is paradoxical that I now live in a city with a big Polish population and settle for glorified donuts because I am too lazy to hop on a train or bus and go get some real ones but when I used to live in a typical white-bread suburb I drove by both a real Polish bakery and a more standard bakery owned by a Polish…

Do-Rite is what we had because I love all their doughnuts, but their Paczki are more like jelly donuts than the ones you will get at a real Polish bakery. Their raspberry, though delicious, is also marketed as a sufganiyah or just as their regular jelly donut depending on the time of the year. A few weeks ago, it was…

Why have him win a surf contest when you could have re-created the original jumping of the shark?

I just bring an insulated bag with an ice pack in it in the summer. Any fish, meat, or dairy goes in there before and after checkout.

I am currently pickling some chunks of pork shoulder in anticipation of making red beans and rice, so that’s kinda corned pork.
