Some of these might be convenient, but generates unnecessary waste. Wipe down plants with a lightly damp sponge. Knock down those cobwebs with a broom and sweep up. Like under 5 extra minutes and you’re not throwing a “disposable” Swiffer pad away. Wrap fragile items in bedding or clothing. 

NoNo pic of a fish spatula for those of us kitchen-challenged?

There are a bunch of 1900-1940's prewritten shopping lists that work by little flaps next to each item, basically a stock tracker. They come in both wall-mounted and pocket-sized. Hunt, Gather, Parent, while kind of junk anthropology, notes that chore wheels tend to silo responsibility and make chores transactional…

i ate seitan during covid. it’s basically a clump of gluten boiled in seasonings. it’s overpriced for what it is, it’s not a complete protein, and it’s not delicious.

News exists to either piss you off or make you scared. Nobody needs more than an hour of it a day. I think the downfall of modern civilization started with the rise of the 24hr news channels.

I want to stress that I am not a prepper, but I do like to be prepared to self-sustain for a short term issue. I do not have cans of food and water rationed away in a bunker somewhere.

Here you go:

“Yes sir Officer, here’s my phone, it has my ID on it. You need it unlocked? Of course sir, here you go! Just pinky promise me you won’t go to any other apps like my text messages or call log or social media”

NW FL here. I’ve never seen a Safeway. Up here it’s Publix all damn day. We just got an Aldi. Seafood and other speciality markets fill in the rest. 

Put your video game console in a cabinet. 

Asking wdym?  Seems reasonable.  Leaping to slay the chain based on that tweet before giving them a chance to answer the question seems not so reasonable.

Seems like there is a market for an Internet router that prevents, encrypts, or otherwise manages all outgoing traffic from your home network.

If one acre of land is $1251 in Jasper County, MS

Filters cost like four dollars and if it’s getting dirty that means it’s doing its job. Just go buy another one.

Many people are still put off by apocryphal stories about MSG and headaches – the so-called “Chinese Restaurant Syndrome.”

I checked a video of the thing functioning normally, and it doesn’t have the “airbag” line. So, in other words, they must have actually recorded backup lines which automatically kick in if the thing malfunctions. Which, honestly, is kind of hilarious.

I’ve been an “urban chicken farmer” for ... 11 years. Just some things to note from my experiences: build a secure coop & run using a fine gauge hardware cloth to wrap everything up (raccoons can tear through chicken wire like tissue paper). Chickens poop. A LOT. Get used to it... and keep this in consideration if you…
