work is apparently blocking all the lifehaker links or something i dont know. but I need to know what would happen to Tacoma, WA if a nuke/missile hit Seattle because there is a high probability (much higher than I’d like to admit) or getting bombed by NK.

LOL okay story time. So I work in a doctor’s office attached to a hospital via skybridge. I’m at the front desk and we have a view of the skybridge into the hospital. Suddenly, a nurse comes out of her office, on the phone, going “no, no i haven’t heard anything. hold on” *looks out window and into hospital*. We’re…

you can caramelize condensed milk easily, in the can even (basically the easiest version of caramel sauce you will ever make). Calling this “toasted” cream seems a misnomer though, because you’re basically caramelizing it without condensing it down/adding sugar. I made a sweet potato pie that basically did this. You…

Sigh.

I put things like that on what I call my “spite” list. Like the time my mom and I made a road trip to Mt St Helens and we watched the video up at the Johnston Ridge Observatory where it talks all about the explosion and then the curtains are supposed to open and reveal the crater. But there were clouds. I was so angry…

I know exactly what you mean. What I have gathered from the small amount of research I’ve done is that you don’t physically store or have any bitcoins. You have the secret password your computer used in order to access the ones in the block that it found. So, you wallet stores the password to that block.

I feel like I wouldn’t have had such a heard time weight-wise in school if I didn’t have access to eating an entire sleeve of oreos without my parents even realizing it as a snack before a full, mainly not-that-healthy dinner.

I have never seen a 2-door Dodge Aries. Not that they didn’t exist, but I always kept my eyes out for them on the road. they were all 4-door.

I had someone smash my driver’s side window on a 2-door Reliant K. You think a Neon is hard, try even finding a 2-door *Plymouth* (not Dodge) Reliant. I’d never even seen another one on the road. Yet, the first guy I called was like “yeah, I got those” without even looking. I think they just made windshields to order,…

lmao omg that video. it started refreezing almost immediately. that was cool

I live in WA and every time I visit Oregon I freak out because I forget that I can’t pump my own gas I’m like “gawd this so so weird” “it’s like having your own butler or a boyfriend” “do I tip them?” “God, do I need to tip them???”

I feel bolstered by this paragraph thank you :D I’m on good terms with my ex boyfriends (not that I have very many) two of them I’m friends with and a 3rd was more of a fling than a bf of any type but we remained friends after the fact as well. The only one that I don’t speak with is my ex-husband, but that’s probably…

You guys just basically forced me to pretend to do my taxes so that I could find out if my part time ubering was worth spending $$ to itemize the deductions. and yes, yes it is.

that infographic is really cool and makes a lot of sense.

Yeah I get you; I could probably save “real” vanilla for important stuff like Vanilla Ice Cream or something where you will definitely taste it. Otherwise, in most baked goods, you probably wouldn’t be able to tell. On the flip side, if you happen to have vodka in your pantry already, you can buy 2 vanilla beans at…

Not that I care... when I found out about it I thought it was very interesting, and a really strange and seemingly ineffective way to source vanilla flavor lol

Buy in bulk whenever possible. I’m a flour fanatic, and I have purchased canisters for oats, almond flour, flaxmeal, wheat germ, coconut flour, regular flour, chia seeds, hemp seeds, quinoa, PB2 (yes, you can get powdered peanut butter in bulk!), and rice. Also sugar, brown sugar and powdered sugar. Saves on throwing…

You say that until you realize that beavers have a gland near their anus that secretes a substance that smells like vanilla and is used as an additive in foods containing “vanilla flavor”

Nov 19, 2014 - Vanillin is a vanilla extract alternative made from wood pulp. It is commonly used to reduce production costs. And, unlike real vanilla extract which is produced from real vanilla beans, vanillin is synthetic and may be produced using petrochemicals and byproducts from the paper industry.

I eat really healthy about 90% of the time (break room at work notwithstanding) and according to myfitnesspal, I dont get enough fat in my diet. But because fat is high in calories its tough to add it to my diet without going overboard on calories. I’ve decided on a compromise of adding MCT oil powder as my coffee…
