I’ll keep an eye out on my cards for this sort of thing. One card in particular sticks out as both the most vulnerable and potentially large in impact if it were closed; my oldest credit card hasn’t been used for anything but a monthly streaming subscription for years; Hopefully that’s enough to keep it from being…

I had started looking into meal planning before the pandemic; it was never really a skill I had developed, and Blue Apron recently added “meal prep” options to their somewhat overpriced service. With their plan you get ingredients to make 4x 2-serving meals with instructions to cook them all in one session. The one I…

I actually watched this movie for the first time last year. What really got me was how real the carotid cerebral angiography scene looked. I mean, it wasn’t surprising to read later that they had shot it in an actual hospital, and the people performing the procedure were the actual medical staff who would be…

On the one hand, I feel that to be fair, this is a blog about consumerism. On the other hand, yeah, you directed a question to showcase how people who don’t need the emergency funds they are receiving are spending it on crap.  I mean, at least the budget laptop at the end is reasonable, and maybe the 3d printer if it…

Skimmed through the article and a few comments, so apologies if these were mentioned: Shop towels and a big old piece of cardboard to lie down on. As careful as you are, or as effective as funnels are, you may get a little oil where it shouldn’t be, so something to wipe them up with is good to have. And the big piece…

I’d certainly be opposed to eating it like an apple just because some varieties of orange have tougher skin than others, which would most likely result in some amount of squeezing before breaking the skin, causing juice to drip everywhere. Beyond that, I also neither wash the outside of my oranges, nor trust them to…

I’ve been building my digital library for years at this point. Services have come and gone, but due to their interconnected nature, my library seems to be more or less intact.  The only thing I worry about are television shows; while movie studios seem to have deals across services, television shows do not seem to…

Looks like Square-Enix has scaled back their plans too, namely any presence that would have to travel from Japan. Fan gatherings for FFXI and FFXIV canceled, the artwork panel they were planning will be viewable on Twitch, signing sessions are cancelled.

I would assume that barring foreigners would be primarily in hopes of keeping out anyone that might have been exposed in the course of travel, like having shared an airplane with a sick passenger. If I were a restaurant owner who thought that this sort of restriction were a good idea, I’d probably lead with requesting…

I haven’t watched this season, but when you say “wingardium leviosa”, do you mean “accio?” The former is levitation, where you describe something that sounds more like summoning a nearby object

I still technically have a subscription, but I’ve skipped most boxes over the last several months. Basically I started with it to sort of fill in some of my culinary blind spots, learn a few recipes, pick up a few techniques, but scaled back due to the pricing.  At this point I only go for it if I happen to see…

I haven’t seen this movie, but I’ve seen a few articles on this dish.  I think the wegmans near me have both of those noodles, so if there’s anyone reading that doesn’t have an H-mart near by, it may be worth looking around.

The part i don’t like about this is that it’s a young child replicated after their death. I wouldn’t mind a platform where an adult might make one of themselves for their loved ones to visit after they’ve passed. Record enough audio to make a text to speech bot, with speaking mannerisms, maybe go through a photo album…

I can’t really see wanting to put this in a regular spam musubi. Those craters would put some gaps in the spam-nori interface, and excessive air pockets between the spam and rice.  If you were adding some sort of other filling between the spam and rice, I could see those pockets being put to some use, but I really…

Logan airport in Boston is going to be doing rideshare pickup at a central parking location starting on Monday i think. I didn’t read too closely at the sign this morning because I intend to take the free silver line bus out when i return.  

Huh, I didn’t realize these were “illegal in the U.S.”  I recall devices being banned on a state-by-state basis back in the early 2000s, wasn’t aware that that ended up being banned nationwide.

I’ve gotten Irn-Bru at a nearby Wegmans grocery store.  It was a bit sweet for my taste.

Just remember to cancel the autorenewing subscription

Plug it in when you need to authenticate, and then remove it and return it to your pocket.

I’ve bought full sized candy bars in the past, but primarily because I was well aware that there wasn’t a sidewalk on the side of the street I was on, and there would be no children coming around for the box of candy bars I definitely bought for myself.
