Those are pony bottles. I just attach a line to the nozzle of a box, strap it to my back and get on with my day.

Can’t speak to worthiness, but will tell you to avoid this one:

I’m a standalone subscriber, no access through cable or Amazon. I eventually got access to Max on my devices, just took a bit of time. I think it was around noon EST.

HBO Now is the separate pay app to view HBO content. It similarly will not be getting Max content (just what HBO broadcasts). If you subscribe directly through their web service you’ll also get access to HBO Max

I think there were some arcs that covered several episodes, but otherwise, yeah, typically not a feature of Law and Order shows.

Shut the fuck up.

From what I’ve been able to figure out, if you already pay for an HBO Now standalone subscription it’ll be updated to HBO Max. I’m not at all sure how it’s supposed to work with, say, Amazon add-on subscriptions or access provided by cable companies.

Still a rare sight in your area? The past two weekends the flour shelves have been loaded. Weird how seeing flour in aisles again can be a bit like running into an old friend all of a sudden. I think my eyes teared up a bit.

Was hoping for a Ship of Theseus reference. Got one and a good burn to go along with it. Kudos!

This right here. I’ve not missed food so much as I’ve never been one to prefer to eat out over cooking in. Stopping in for drinks with friends, though, is very sorely missed and will be the first thing I do when I feel it’s safe enough.

This. Grilled cheese isn’t a planned-for meal for me. It tends to happen when I have bread I want to use, which isn’t terribly often. I don’t keep butter out because I don’t use it often and I’m not waiting for it to soften up before I can cram some melted cheese in between toasty carbs then shove it all in my…

I’d been at someone else’s place the first 1.5 or so months and had to reload on groceries, figured that was why my bill was so high. Two more weeks of grocery store trips later, fewer necessities to replace, fewer items purchased and my bill was still way higher than in Ye Olden Tymes. I’m not even buying many of the…

We referred to ours as skinny blockers.

That’s fine on a quest in a cave, but not so much when you’re in a hall at a feast and can’t see a damned thing that’s going on. It happens constantly with indoor bits that one wouldn’t expect to be so dark, even if mainly torch lit. 

How do the blinds raise the temperature? I’m highly curious as I have two giant windows that face directly west and get absolutely blasted with sun for around 8-9 hours a day in the summer. I’ve been trying in vain to alleviate that by shutting the interior shutters and closing the blackout curtains during the “ugly…

I played Witcher 3 on PC so not sure if it is a thing on other platforms, but it was the darkest damn game I’ve ever played. Not just caves which one kind of takes because that’s the intent, but inside halls and shit it was just so, so dark. I was never able to sort it out and it’s one of the reasons I still haven’t…

Wouldn’t his weapon already be whipped out in this case?

If you do some googling, there are recipes for that flavor mix. The only oddball’ish ingredient was citric acid, if I recall, which you can get pretty easily off the internet and maybe even your grocery store wherever they sell pickling stuff.

Serious Eats is truly the “Simpsons did it” of the food world.

You can just use baking soda. No need to use lye. I’ve made soft pretzels a ton of times and have never even come across the idea of using lye on them.
