Hey Claire, did you seal the Koji steak at all, or just cover it with something in the fridge? After reading Kenji’s write up about aging (his Food Lab is my absolute favorite food column, by the way) I’d suspect that the Koji steak has also lost at least a few percent of it’s weight in water, which also affects the…

Yeah, that was my first thought, too. But when I thought about it, $675 for a one-way, point-to-point, economy ticket is pretty high. However, if they also would include multi-point one-way tickets, then yeah, it could get expensive. Also, if you ARE in Business or First Class and get bumped (side note: never having…

Wait, wait - the “up to” numbers, are those intended to be the 1x fare cost, or the 200/400% compensation?

Came here to say this... thank you.

Absolutely fabulous?

Sounds very, very similar to Debitize, which has been wonderful for me since I started using it about 6 months ago. They debit your account the amount spent on a connected credit card - I get the rewards dollars, but don’t carry a balance. They automatically pay the credit card with the money debited from your…

That worked for me.

Being super technical here, but Smith and Wesson makes a revolver in .45ACP that uses... wait for it... moon clips. I may be wrong, but I believe it is still in production (Model 625).

Oh my God, I thought I was the only one. I kept seeing articles about “scams targeting Chinese speakers in the local area” sort of thing. I figured I was targeted maybe because there had been an embassy leak and my visa info had been compromised (which included my phone number, if I recall correctly). But then my wife…

It would have to be better than Arlo. I bought a couple of those a year ago to keep an eye on stuff, and the triggers are awful. There’s no middle-ground, despite a 5-point “scale” of sensitivity. On 5, you’re running the thing down in less than a day because it records an endless string of 5-minute videos (literally,…

So... not terribly reliable then?

Ask my former neighbor - he can tell you all about pot overdoses. I can’t tell you how many times he woke me up retching over his patio wall into the common area, while the smoke was so thick that I couldn’t open a window unless I wanted it to absolutely fill my house. Why was the toilet not good enough for his…

Fair? Maybe. Expensive, though - more than I’d like to throw away on this asshat. Life in jail would be fine by me. Cheaper to house and feed him for 40 or 60 years, hell, even 100, than to go through legal challenge after challenge before flipping the switch.

Only read the headline, but yes. This is what I’m doing from now on.

Agreed. Even day-old crusty oatmeal comes off with some hot water and five or ten minutes of soak.

Which is why I led with, “This is almost certainly not the chic new style....” 

“Somethimes?” 

In California, roads must have road surveys in order to use radar and lidar speed tracking (full disclosure, this info is like, 20 years old, may not be totally correct anymore, but knowing the labyrinth of California laws, I’m guessing it’s still current). So every five years, every road that cops will monitor for…

After the last “departmental update meeting” that went so far off the rails there were actual shouting contests (multiple, simultaneous) that I just wrote them off entirely. Subconsciously, this is basically the list I ran through. Have now missed three subsequent meetings, and nobody has even questioned why. Must not…

This is almost certainly not the chic new style, but our pediatrician told us, “You gotta put her down, say goodnight, and walk out. Leave her there alone, let her cry, and she will, and you’ll hate yourselves. But give it 45 minutes. It will seem like an eternity, but don’t go back in. She’ll fall asleep on her own.…
