The Irwin quickgrip packs are $20 at Lowe’s. Always be sure to check out local prices before ordering online - I usually can find tools for about the same price or cheaper at a physical store versus Amazon.

Same here - that line is describing democratic socialists, who want collective ownership of the means of production.

I absolutely love my Snapware set and actually ended up buying a second. I was initially skeptical of how good the seal would be, but I have transported soup sideways in my messenger bag while biking to work many times without any issues. The lids are simple enough to clean with a dish brush, but they are also…

Misery indeed - I can’t say I am interested in living under any of them! There is a certain amusing irony in seeing someone get accused of being an anti-communist communist, though.

If your definition of socialism is “any sort of state-sponsored, collective action”, then socialism as a term is essentially meaningless. You might as well call it “governmentism” or “anti-anarchism”.

Ha ha ha - definitely agree on the Bernie Bro point; I am a little more hopeful about Millennials more generally, though perhaps being a bit overly optimistic. It’s amazing how many people use the term, either in the Bernie Bro way or as an epithet they don’t really understand. I particularly enjoy the word salad…

That seems pretty relevant to the article and not at all ironic, or did you mean the mere presence of another article is ironic and not the subject?

That’s not what socialism is. Socialism is the collective ownership of the means of production, as opposed to private ownership. Government intervention in the economy is not socialism; short of being an anarcho-capitalist, any capitalist would still advocate some level of government intervention, even if it is…

The irony there is those western European countries aren’t socialist, they are social democracies. Bernie Sanders is a social democrat, not a democratic socialist. If you don’t want collective ownership of the means of production, then you’re not a socialist, or you’re changing the definition of socialist.

Coming from Dutch Country, I struggle with that one. I think I finally got it figured out, but it feels awkward and overdone if I try to distinguish them. This guy is helpful.

I suspect the two suitcases included a checkbook attached to an account with a positive balance.

Also, maybe just when your partner is falling asleep is not the greatest time for you to unburden yourself. There was plenty of time to bring it up before you got into bed.

Oh, I love this phenomenon - if I remember correctly, it is called diglossia and code switching. We do it a lot in Central Pennsylvania, where you might “talk Dutchy” with friends and family, using strange words like dopplich, spritzing, schusslich, and rutsching, but then you would speak with a more GenAm accent and…

Philadelphia* has a soda tax. Much like New York, it may come as a surprise to some that there is a vast part of the state outside of its most populous city, but I assure you it is true. ;-)

I really love my Calphalon anodized aluminum skillets. They seem to be at least as non-stick as my Teflon-coated pans, there’s no PFCs whatsoever, and I can use metal utensils and they are less care than my cast iron. I am pretty much ready to pitch my remaining Teflon skillet and not look back.

But how is it a salad if you don’t include celery and/or onion?!

This is really one of the most fundamental points here: you should not have to choose between health insurance for your family and starting a business. Entrepreneurship is critical for the economic health and upward mobility of this country.

I have been interviewed by many panels and been on many panels, but I do not think I have ever had someone pace or walk out. They seem to be growing in popularity, especially when working in an environment that involves a lot of teamwork. It’s helpful to get the opinions of the people the applicant would be working…

Ah, so that’s the solution! I was frustrated with how soggy my breakfast casseroles get and went on a hiatus, but I had been omitting the cheese and heavy cream suggested by the recipe because of my significant other’s preferences. I’ll bet it is the fat content of the cheese and heavy cream that help prevent that.

It’s amazing: you just keep shooting them down with reality and they keep coming for more. I feel embarrassed for them.
