I buy mostly store brand, but if you care about food quality and nutrition in addition to savings, check the nutrition labels. I’ve found that in many cases, the generic brands have much higher fat and sodium content as well as extra fillers that the name brand doesn’t.

I think it’s perfectly OK to put butter knives and my cheap steak knives in the dishwasher.

Discipline is my, and probably most people’s, biggest issue. I know the right way to do things. I just don’t.

Slightly off-topic, but why do we even need credits? I can see the writer, director, produce, actors/actresses, and composer, for marketing reasons but why do we list EVERYONE who did any work?

There’s an awesome free dinosaur museum in Glenn Rock, WY that makes all it’s money by selling casts of bones (never the real ones*) and through donations. I have a handful from my visits there. My favorite is the slightly modified Utah Raptor arm/backscratcher.

This bugs the hell out of me. Set standards for the finished product, but let me do whatever I need to to get it done. If you want to offer suggestions, go for it, but don’t force me to do additional ‘make work’ just because you think it’s necessary.

What was the movie with what looks like a masquerade ball?

Or you could just up your fiber intake. I’m in and out in 30 seconds flat.

Pets aren’t the problem. Any advice for toddlers?

I realize this is anecdotal, but we fed my cat nothing but kibble for 26 years and she was plenty healthy (for her age) up until the last 18 months.

Someone needs to get Elon Musk on this.

You laugh, but I had a roommate that always took his shirt off to poop. Never understood why, nor could he give me an explanation other than that he’d always done it. He did this whether he was at home, in a public restroom, or squatting behind a bush in the woods. Otherwise a completely normal kid.

If there is any kitchen utensil that is inherently evil and out looking for a blood sacrifice, it’s the mandoline.

I’ve had a lot of gnarly injuries in my life, but the only time I’ve ever passed out from pain/shock/blood loss was from when the guard fell apart while I was using the french fry attachment. I use kevlar…

This rocket uses an open system for hydraulics.

This is why I keep 4 tanks on hand (max allowed by fire code) at all times. Also, since I do most of my canning on a pair of propane stoves outside, I need to be 100% sure I don’t run out half way through a batch.

Slightly off topic, but how do people usually use these?

I have one I got for free from another brand that is great for keeping the kids’ tablet alive on airplanes, but other than that I haven’t gotten much use out of it. Maybe I’m just near power often enough that I’ve never felt the need to carry around a backup…

I’ve done wired keyboards with great success. Only problem is it takes almost a week to dry out, and eventually wears the letters off of some.

I’m not referring to her getting used to Win10 but to Win10 utterly breaking her system and her having to pay an arm and a leg for a tech to recover her data (I’ve seen it corrupt the filesystem so bad that data recovery was necessary) and get the PC working again. You’re tech savvy, so you can figure it out, but…

I think they can be cute, but not appropriate for a lot of environments. We have a pretty relaxed dress code (biz casual, collared shirt, no jeans or shorts, skirts knee length if worn, but not required, closed toe shoes) but the worst dress code violations that I had to deal with were from a girl who insisted on…

That’s not the end of the world for the general readership of this site, but there are a LOT of people who can’t even copy files to a flash drive from a working system without help.
