I'm a little obsessed with cast iron. Maybe I'll convince Susannah to do a big cast iron guide of some sort :-)

It's a good thing that you can choose the cards you wish to see!

Ergotron user here. Just giving others a heads-up that my employer was willing to pay for mine—I definitely wouldn't have dropped that much for it myself. You may want to reach out to your Benefits department and inquire about ergonomic equipment to see what they would be willing to provide. In my case it probably…

One thought is to talk with your local school's shop/industrial arts/votech/whatever you call it teacher. If you are willing to pay for supplies and provide a design, they may have some, most will have capable kids that can put together a desk that fits specific needs.

As if these weren't useful enough, you can shred chicken in these. The chicken just needs to be cooked (obviously) and warm.

Yeah, my partner pees sitting down. He finds it more comfortable. The masculinity police haven't come for him yet.

Mr. Nom and I share passwords b/c sometimes he's closest to my phone or vice-versa or one of us is driving or whatever. If I get a text, he can just read it to me. If he forgets his phone and needs me to look up someone's number, I can do it. Stuff like that.

I think in a healthy relationship it can often get to the point where the two people know most of each others passwords just out of convenience and trust more than anything else...at one point it makes sense to share password x (I need to get that credit card bill, what's your login?), later it makes sense to share…

I get better battery life with 5.0.2, a better notification system and smoother... Well, everything. I miss the customizability of 4.4 but I don't think I'd be able to stand not having the latest and (sometime) greatest.

I'm sorry it triggered such a reaction.

Do you have young children? Because being a dick to my young child means to *me* keeping her up hours past her bedtime to celebrate an occasion that really doesn't mean too much to her. On NYE I have two options for letting my 3 year old celebrate NYE, a holiday she has no concept of yet:

Who says a party is going to be wild? I prefer the kids go to bed not too late so they aren't tired and cranky the next morning. Also, if my husband and I are having people over to play cards it's a lot easier than having kids in the background shrieking, wrestling, asking to be on our teams, asking to play, asking…

I think you have older kids in mind when you wrote that comment. Do your observations apply to a 2 yo or even 4yo kid? My kids would not even be able to be up until that late. And if they were awake, I would be doing nothing but taking care of them and not enjoying the party.

Seriously, right now, the thought of being up til midnight sounds exhausting...

I am a long time chef so here is how it works.

exactly zero of these are death threats.

yeah, its not really necessary, and by taking off new oils you make life harder. When you leave a light layer of oil the next time you heat the pan to smoking point you add a new layer of seasoning to any 'weak points' you may have along the way, dings or scrapes from a spatula. This reduces the need to 'reseason…

Last time I checked "kill yourself" wasn't a death threat. It's extremely distasteful, crude, and awful, and shouldn't be said to anyone ever, but it's not a death threat.

One thing that doesn't usually get mentioned is that if you're a Sprint user and you've combined your Sprint phone number with your Google Voice number, you shouldn't use Hangouts for SMS - there's a known bug that causes your phone to blurt out multiple copies of outgoing messages if you do. Google has advised that…

@fuegerstef: I think that was only a rumor that he liked or even has played Half-Life.
