Definitely appreciate the use of Camelcamelcamel to show stuff is actually on sale and not just shitty marketing fiction

I’ve tried this method. It doesn’t work, because the premise—that it gets easier to get rid of clutter as you get rid of more of it—is wrong.

Pull through sharpeners (manual or electric) are garbage. They’ll never get your knife as sharp as a pro can, and, as someone else pointed out, they destroy knives with glee.

Sharpening with a whetstone is more of a skilled art than this article lets on. It’s not easy. There are systems (Lansky, etc...) that make it…

In general, use dried herbs early in the process and fresh herbs late. Dried herbs need to spend time in the pot to release their flavors but fresh ones wilt quickly and are best used sprinkled on at the end.

just another way the US is a fucking shithole

Check your ‘scrub it with bleach’ paragraph.  Do you mean bleach or vinegar?

yes.

Two words. Water chestnuts. Thank you.

That’s exactly what I do and really expected this article to say. It didn’t really address the sticking together problem at all.

Or to prevent them from sticking together like that, freeze them on a baking sheet, separated from each other, and THEN put them in a bag and suck all the air out. Pretty sure that’s how the companies that sell frozen fruits and veggies in bags at the store do it.

I was labeled “gifted” (they still use that term today???) back in grade school. Those myths are pretty accurate from my experience.

The pretreating thing. A small drop worked into a grease stain and let sit a day then toss in the wash works great!! Hell if I ever wash a whole load that way. I have been treating butter, bacon, to auto grease stains with dawn for decades and letting it sit a day before washing seem to make all the difference.

In most newer construction, there isn’t even a floor in the attic, it’s just a pile of loose, blown-in insulation over the joists.

Wasn’t there an episode of “I Love Lucy” where she did this and filled the whole house with soap suds? WAAAAAHHHH....

Keep in mind that attic space is not livable space. The joists are rated for an uninhabited area and will flex a lot more, potentially causing cracks and screw pops on the ceiling drywall below it. Expected live loads are at least 10 pounds less per square foot.

For road trips, we bring our pillows and our plush blankets plus instant coffee and sugar packets. It’s has nothing to do with cleanliness. We get homesick and those things help. If I were flying to a destination and staying for a while in one place, I would probably bring pillowcases and maybe a flat bed sheet.

Bring a blacklight and you’ll sleep in your car. Or don’t and sleep in ignorance of all of the bodily fluids covering everything.

My wife is a vegetarian, I don’t attend or host Super Bowl parties, and I don’t have real-life friends to feed this to, so I’m just going to bookmark this and look at it every once in awhile in private.

Some people use PornHub, I use AllRecipes.
