inescapable fact

Filming someone in a restroom/dressing room without their permission is how Dani Mathers got into trouble. The same invasion of privacy charge should be filed on this living bridge troll.

Depends on the plastic jug. If it’s a milk jug or other disposable-quality plastic, it’s not ideal. If it’s designed for emergency preparedness use, it should be fine. My FEMA instructor has one of those 55-gallon drums and he definitely does not buy a new one every 5 years.

If you never eat any salt, sure. But most of us are consuming several times our RDA of sodium. Preserved foods in particular are likely to be high-sodium, so in a survival situation distilled water is going to be of minimal concern.

So I should be afraid to use a hand dryer or a kitchen sink, but miraculously this fear of everything that has ever been in the same room as a germ should not extend to water that’s been sitting out?

don’t do anything fun

Anywhere you find a Mumsy and Da-da who bought an Ivy a new library so Mary could get the degree she needed to get nepotized into the trading desk at Da-da’s bank.

Sometimes I really miss not being vegan.

My friend got TSA Pre and has never been hastled since.

There is not and has never been a credible threat that someone would hijack a plane with a water bottle. Checking for liquids is security theater. There is not and has never been a credible threat that someone would blow up a plane with their shoes (as we already saw, it is not possible). Taking off shoes is security…

There should be a separate terminal for people like you and me, who are willing to take our chances that we’ll be in the whatever fraction of a percent of people who actually experience terrorism if it means we can avoid all this nonsense.

It’s called the Fourth Amendment, and I find it vaguely troubling that you’ve never heard of it. Most of the stuff TSA does is not a reasonable search, as it is not intended to protect anybody but only to give the appearance of trying.

I totally agree, except they shouldn’t be armed. If they feel an armed response is necessary they should retreat and call for backup.

I don’t think the article was meant to say you should feed your non-vegan guests the vegan food. I think it was meant to provide options to serve alongside whatever meat/egg/dairy you’re serving.

So apparently I’m in the minority but I think this is totally fair. How is it less of a dick move for me to expect you to do extra work than it is for you to tell me you won’t? Doesn’t make sense to me. Sure, if you want to impress me with your cooking skills/research skills/etc. that’s fabulous, but if you’d rather…

All of your suggestions are also good (and bibimbap is a good fit for this article because it’s just as easy to do DIY stations as it is with tacos and burritos), but meat substitutes overall haven’t been subpar in years. If a host just wants to throw some things on the grill and be done with it, Smart Dogs and Beyond…

Thanks! I saw it on one of those shows about extreme frugality. World’s Most Extreme Cheapskates, or something to that effect.

Nickelback is a shitty band, but as far as I know none of the members have driven a car into a group of protesters because they believe they should be the only band on Earth. It’s not the same thing.

Look, you don’t understand. All he’s saying is if Americans were nice and tolerant like they say they are, they would have let Hitler win World War II and not interfered with the whole genocide of all non-Germans on Earth thing. Because if you really respect human lives, you will let one group of people wipe out…

Sounds fine to me. There is nothing about sitting in a car, and then at a desk, and then in a car, and then on a couch, that makes you dirty enough to need a head-to-toe cleansing with soap and water every 24 hours.
