This admittedly may not be the proper place for this, as it’s only tangentially related to your comment, but your comment sparked this, so I’ll post it as a reply to you. Apologies in advance - it’s not really meant as a rebuttal at all.

Like, all the keys you personally use to enjoy access to things you own. House, car, storage locker, gun cabinet, you know - the basics. Because, to paraphrase Jack Handey, “let ‘em go, because, man, they’re gone.” If it’s a fire or earthquake or whatever, you may not be able to get back to them for hours or days, and…

Wait, so you’re telling me that some people exaggerate what they do for some reason? On the Internet? Pull the other one!

What’s the advantage for placing flowers in my coffee?

While this trend is something to keep an eye on, and certainly it benefits someone to know that their personal health data that CAN be read WILL be read and stored and owned by someone else, it sure seems like the first three examples of the data being used are, on balance, good for truth, and not (apparently)…

Oh, whoops. I failed at reading. Ice... that’s the key difference.

Where I’m from, this is just a “Scotch and Soda.”

Was going to ask this, too. The Android One version of Moto X4. I’m liking it a lot better than my Nexus 5x so far. I’m fine with the flavor of Android it runs for the moment, even.

I’m not entirely what to say: I mean, do these things actually exist? Does anyone expect that they will be purchased? Knowingly? Or is it a form of corporate tax fraud that they make these pictures available? I’m not sure what I love more - the idea that these exist in some way, or that someone might conceivably spend…

My mom is investigating ways to donate her body for good when she dies (soon). This is horrifying. Thanks for posting it so I can warn her.

This is the most infuriating thing that drivers do. For Pete’s sake, the right-of-way goes to the cars going straight OR RIGHT. You bastards who think that your left turn lane gives you any kind of preferential treatment are idiots.

I do this for trucks, too, although I find it pretty rare that a truck is needing to pass me....

Obviously I missed the original call for hacks, but one that several baristas have pointed out for me (I don’t really try to take advantage of this) is for my favorite hot drink - a one-pump mocha. I find the regular 80-pump mochas to be too sweet, so I cut it down to one. Used to be that you could order a latte with…

And then, for an excellent, relatively affordable, example of Speyside whisky, go buy a bottle of The Balvenie 12 year Double Wood. You can thank me later. Bring about $55 to the store. You can get it a BevMo, and it’s wonderful stuff for the price.

I have conflicting thoughts on this:

Well, none of these worked, and for the first time ever, I was the parent with the kid in the office who screamed loud enough to scare everyone else’s kids. I don’t fault the advice, though. Just luck of the draw.

I’m confused by this part (is it a typo?):

Good article, Claire. May I suggest some more tips for those who need to do more rehab for their pans?

While this is not a great “recipe” to recommend to the person asking for recipes for their new pan, I had to give your post a star because the flaxseed oil method is a *great* method - not the only one, and not necessarily the best (though it’s the best of the many I’ve tried).

Timely as can be - 4 p.m. appointment today with pediatrician to get the kiddo vaccinated. Thanks for the great tips!
