I’ve grown to hate calling my parents — more than usual — because of the conspiracy crap. In fact, my 70+-year-old un-vaxed Mom might be having knee surgery today, but I don’t want to call mid-week to find out if the A-OK was given by the doc; I’ll call on Sunday to see if/how it went, while also hoping to avoid any…

So cruel, but that’s to be expected of Red States. They’re turning away free federal money that’s still a lifeline to millions of people because they want them desperate enough to HAVE to work for slave wages again, rather than have wages rise just barely enough for them to WANT to work again (if even able, with kids…

Stay away from the crypto BUBBLE.

Yes - most people are “heel strikers” BECAUSE they wear high-heeled shoes with too much padding to use as a crutch. When you switch to zero-drop minimalist shoes without much padding you’re forced to stop heel-striking because it hurts. Just because it doesn’t hurt as much with extra padding doesn’t mean those harmful…

I used to hate running, too, but a seemingly odd thing happened a few months ago that allowed me to start loving it: I switched out of “marshmallow” shoes into more natural MINIMALIST / BAREFOOT SHOES, and I can confirm that the hype is real. Humans should NOT be wearing the currently-mainstream shoes with high heels,…

Being happy to finally unmask outdoors does not also imply being an anti-mask Trumper to begin with. Nice try.

I’m 1-of-2 shots vaccinated, and after a year of dutiful mask-wearing outside I finally stopped a few days before this official CDC update. The risk of outside infection was always NEGLIGIBLE, but the socially responsible among us did it anyway to send the right message. But no more! It’s so nice to be able to BREATHE…

*shrug* Big deal. We’ll live. And the immune system needs practice anyway.

In the end... most people just prostrate themselves before the god of boring resale value.

But only the first shot is free*. Fvckin’ drug dealers.

Amazon’s Presto brand ain’t half bad.

Whatever you do, don’t smoke it. Smoking anything gets carcinogens in your lungs.

Getting older, so not finishing most games is my worst habit these days. Come back to it months later, and have forgotten most of the keyboard shortcuts, game mechanics, and story details, and don’t have interest enough to get back up to speed midway or to restart, even for awesome games.

Could’ve used this article a few months ago. We bought a set of BLACK Turkish towels for xmas, and after at least 6 washings they’re STILL shedding like crazy many months later. After a shower we’re covered in disgusting fine black fuzz from the towels.

1. Cut the hairy ends off the onion, leaving peel on

I’ve never really had a problem with any pillow I’ve tried (except for hard asian “pillows” filled with rice or beans). The one I’ve used for the past decade is a simple memory foam contoured pillow, where one side is slightly higher than the other, making it more versatile for back and side sleeping.

The only thing I can’t stand about baking soda is its ridiculously short shelf life, and almost all packages you can buy are very large are not able to be sealed well. So you bake a loaf of banana bread that calls for 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and 3 months later the next thing you bake won’t rise so end up with a sad…

Spread it out over the day and it’s fine. If your urine is completely clear, then you’re drinking too much too quickly; if it’s smelly and dark yellow or orange, then you’re not drinking enough.

I can access it, but clicking into the Privacy section just returns an error and tells me to try again in a few minutes.

3 brushes: We use one toothbrush in the kitchen mainly for cleaning the gunk out of coffee and water bottle lids. We use another in the bathroom for cleaning out the ‘hair dragon’ in the sink when it clogs every couple weeks. I also used to use one for conditioning leather boots, but I now mostly wear vegan shoes, so…
