Empty water bottle that I fill before boarding, because I’m generally a thirsty person.

I like this. My model train garden needs some upgrades.

There’s a goat farm at my local farmer’s market that makes a horseradish cranberry chevre. I think I just found a way to satisfy that craving in the off season.

None of the women in the title picture look particularly pleased to be there. The one second from the right is getting rather close to a dagger stare. The woman almost directly behind the Cowardly Cheeto is giving the perfect, “Can you believe this shit?” face.

That seems annoying. I’ve never been in a bucket with that “feature.” I could see something where the top speed in PTO mode being limited to 5mph would be a good safety feature.

Fountain pens have been a revelation. 

I always found the pages to be too thin to write on both sides. Composition books ftw

Chinese noodle casserole. Egg foo young + Lo mein + chow mein noodles on top, all smothered in classic brown stir fry sauce.

If you’re 100% vested in the account balance, what you see is what you’ll get when you roll over. The process for rolling over a 401k into an IRA is very simple: choose the account you want to roll over to (I’d go with Fidelity or Vanguard, personally) and then as a part of the initial IRA set up process, tell them…

Yep. Have flow out of SFO and Reagan this summer and no one has said a peep.

Echoing this. The state deliberately spiked craft brewery development to make Guinness (who didn’t even want the new package of laws) and the liquor distributors happy. I will never be stepping foot in that monstrosity.

People rag on the InstaPot for it’s pressurizing/de-pressurizing times when it comes to frozen stuff, but for me that’s a huge benefit. I can come home at 6, realize “oh shit, nothing’s defrosted”, toss some frozen chicken breasts and salsa in the InstaPot and let’er rip. I leave for my softball league at 7, come back…

Also disagree with the advice to avoid Edinburgh Castle. If you like medieval castles, you’ll enjoy this one too. And you can see the Stone of Scone. The hop on hop off bus tours are worth it just to get a lay of the land and then you can prioritize what you want to see.

Hitting the majors at 20 and playing for 12 seasons will do that.

I’ve never had so much as a rumble from them.

Jimmy John’s is hella convenient and halfway good if you tell them to replace the assloads of lettuce with sprouts. Of course given the choice between Jimmy John’s, Jersey Mikes, and Subway, I’ll go Jersey Mikes, Jimmy Johns, and then I’ll go hungry.

I’ll still buy based on label if I’ve found a couple of possibilities and don’t have enough distinctions to narrow it down further. It’s no more arbitrary than scores and at least I’m picking something based on my tastes and not those of some knock-off Robert Parker (not that I think he did any favors for CA wine…

My pancreas just wimpered. But I’m making it anyway.

That has the potential to be good, even with iffy storage conditions. Prohibition era wine...not so much.

Not a bad theory. Could also be liver.
