I love how great of a base ramen is. Want to shake it up:

Just had one the other night and it hit the spot. I’ll back you up with my three-pound bag of Cuban coffee juggling all the blocks of cheese.

God help you if you try to convince my very PA Dutch grandmother that this is true.

I’m surprised they don’t have something like EZPass: connect your credit card, when it goes below a certain amount, it automatically reloads with more money. I think that’s how the Oyster Card works in London too.

A Costco pack of toilet paper will take you far. I suppose it will take you even further if you want to hop on the bidet train.

I draw the line at “family cloth” reusable toilet “paper”, but I much prefer cloth napkins and using a bucket of shop towels instead of paper towels.

I do occasionally, but I heat them up in a skillet with a little oil, which does the trick. Sometimes I’ll throw an egg in there and call it a meal, because, why not?

New Year’s Resolution: wear my only set of workout clothes to the gym every day for a week (it worked in high school, right?). Get wrecked by DOMS. Get discouraged. Wash clothes and repeat next year.

Like a vocative comma, but in reverse! Just like in “Be a Pal, My Dudes”. Well played, Nick!

That’s my best guess, but I’m not sure of the mechanism. I saw something that suggested the fatty acids might act as a natural preservative, but there are also apparently people who swear whole fat spoils faster than skim.

Great points. For even an enthusiastic outdoorsman, I couldn’t see owning more than a deer rifle, a .22 rifle for small game, a shotgun, maybe a higher power rifle if I ever went hunting bigger game (e.g. elk, caribou), a muzzleloader to extend the season, a revolver, and maybe a semi-auto handgun, with a second…

I agree. I didn’t take the article to suggest that a parent be completely hands off, but rather offer a way to nurture self-direction and self-motivation while being there to offer some guardrails. I struggled with time management all throughout college in part because I had parents that were pretty big on maintaining…

It’s certainly my favorite foodhack.

Milk stored in the refrigerator door will spoil faster than that stored in the back of the fridge. I have also found that whole milk seems to stay fresh longer than skim or even two percent, though I am not sure why.

I strain it through one of these into a cleaned out, glass salsa jar and keep it in the fridge with the lid on.

Exactly! The people screaming in the forums that people have to start over on day 19 because they stepped on a scale at the doctor’s office and accidentally saw their weight are ridiculous. It’s just not a healthy mindset.

My girlfriend does Whole30 periodically, and I tried it once but found it way too restrictive. I also get that it’s supposed to be a reset followed by a slow, deliberate reintroduction of foods, and not a permanent diet change. But it was still not very fun (though I did have tons of energy after a while).

Finding interesting things to do is a really great point. We had to practice every weeknight, I think a half hour per day was expected. It is only possible to play the page or two of exercises so many times before that becomes impossibly boring. Fortunately, my parents were great about buying us songbooks that…

Your comment strongly reminds me of the short story “Axolotl” by Julio Cortazar.

That really sickens me - can they seriously not let her grieve. The fact that so many of my fellow gun owners cannot seem to bear the idea of being mildly inconvenienced to help prevent these tragedies is disturbing, and to go to those lengths is disgusting.
