what i’m starting to see around where i live (the rural southwest) is people buying those cheap wooden sheds they sell by the side of the highway and fitting them with pipes, electricity, insulation, etc.

I’ve been using a roasting pan and a tall rack for most of my cooking life. I also stuff the heck out of my turkey and truss the legs. I also shove herbed butter under the skin of the breast and then cover said breast for most of the roasting time with a big square of foil to retard the roasting temp as well as…

Finally someone who recognizes the greatness of a peanut butter & pickle sandwich. Everyone thinks I’m nuts for saying it’s good, but my grandma (who did grow up in the Depression) knew what she was talking about.

For many years I’ve had OOMA service. About 2 years ago I blocked all incoming calls except those I enter on a whitelist. If it’s inconvenient for my friends, I don’t really give a shit. It’s worth it — at one point in 2020 I was getting a dozen or more spam calls a day. Now the phone is blissfully quiet, yet still…

If the service providers can label a call “Illegal Scam” - explain to me why they can’t block them?

You will pry my cargo pants from my cold dead legs. I have upgraded to Prana, so they are a little more fitted and less obviously cargo pants. Having an extra pocket is nice so you have room to carry keys, wallet, phone, sunglasses, a camera, etc.

And if they get bored after one month, at least they discovered for themselves.

“Retirement is supposed to be your reward for lifelong hard work and spent doing something you enjoy...so here’s 1000 words on why I don’t like the thing you enjoy!”

Like, how the hell do you watch this episode and miss out on that? A bullet wtf.

By the show’s third episode, “Emergence,” out today on Paramount+, there’s a bullet lodged at the base of his spine. A frighteningly uncanny valley Cortana (Jen Taylor) guides him through some self-surgery, in which he plies the bullet out with a knife.

Yup, but since there’s nothing else I want to watch on Paramount+ right now so I figure I might as well wait until most (if not all) of Halo is available before starting my trial.

There’s a cookbook called Good And Cheap, by Leanne Brown. It’s for folks living on a SNAP (food stamps) budget of four dollars per day. It’s also available in .pdf format, and I think you can get it for free (or cheap, from eBay, as I did).

Heck, it’s not even usually more, they are usually less. In my parts a rotisserie chicken goes for $5-6, while a whole chicken goes for at least $7, depending on size of course. 

Yup same. I can manage a day fine, two with trouble, a third I am screwed.

I can function on a night of five hours of sleep at 100% gym, cardio, work, ect I can do it. Another day... bye bye performance. Another day... bye bye operating anything more than a can opener because I am done.

The advice that I think needs to be consigned to the “myth” category...or at least “myth-ish”...is to avoid looking at your phone in bed. The blue light issue is no longer relevant now that phones have night mode. I believe the actual problem with using your phone before sleep is not the phone itself, but the content.…

Because I wanted to see if it could give me enough tips to make it worth it for me to do it myself. And after I read the article I’m still 99% sure I couldn’t do as good of a job as a Costco chicken and it would probably cost me double in price and double in time.

That’s not Apple specific. There’s cheap shit in the world and we should be careful not to buy it. That said, there’s never a real reason to buy Apple accessories.

So that's where my charger went...

Wait...does that mean you have all my cables?
