Counterpoint: Old glass jars (pickle, jam, whatever) with lids work better. They won’t melt if your used oil is still hot when you pour it in, and they have a wider mouth.

Wow this is legit one of the most useful lifehacker pieces I think I’ve ever read here, especially coupled with one of the commenter’s remarks about freezing ginger, something else I didn’t know you could do.

A microplane grater makes short shrift of even slightly tougher skins - just yielding a nice gingery paste. As to colours I once had some that was pink .. a very young tuber/shoot... had really nice ginger flavour with a little sweetness.

Yep.  Give it a wash, and freeze it.  Frozen ginger grates really well, and keeps much longer.  Just have to use it before freezer burn sets in.

Maybe is was my Dad lying so he didn’t have to worry about me running out of gas, many many moons ago LOL

If you think about when this idea came about the problem wasn’t so much affording gas as being physically able to get gas in a timely fashion.

I couldn’t help but wonder if this was a “with racing in mind” decision. I’m not sure if track day was a thing when these cars were produced, but maybe it was for either 1) the driver estimating how many more laps could be driven before a pit stop, or 2) fueling up “just enough” for the race session needed to…

Just another spin of the “let’s make some bullshit laws which we can arbitrarily enforce against a certain class of people to keep those people from voting so we can stay in power and then make some more bullshit laws which we can arbitrarily enforce against a certain class of people so we can keep...” merry-go-round.…

This is not how masks work. Your mask protects someone else. Someone else’s mask protects you.

Sure, all of that was a bit confusing, but it isn’t confusing after being told that your county now requires you to wear a mask in public and you walk past a sign on the door plus a couple more reminding you that masks are required now because of local requirements and/or store policies. If someone really is still…

This is wrong. Herd immunity is a thing for vaccinations and masks. Both protect the people around you much more than they protect you.

I love Anthony too, but this was definitely a take that my disagreement with grew over time. I think his experience with vegetarian or vegan diners really colors his viewpoints on it as well as coming from a Western Country. I think if he were still here he’d might begrudgingly start to see this dietary choice isn’t…

He had at least one show in India where he ate with a community of vegans and basically said he was totally good with how they cooked.

This seems less about kids’ safety and more about school liability. The school doesn’t want to be sued if a kid gets hit walking across the street. I’m with you, I think this is ridiculous, but then again - I walked 2 miles to school from first grade through fifth. Half of this was on a path through the woods, and I…

At this point, it’s not even clear who this message is for, as I’ve heard about as much bleating from supposedly liberal-leaning establishment types about how difficult it will be for them to pull the lever for Sanders as I have heard from Bernie or busters or whatever.

If you’re voting your conscience and your conscience isn’t telling you that Trump needs to be out no matter what, then you are part of the problem.

In 2016 you didn’t know how bad Trump was going to be, but now that you do know, you’ve decided that the children in cages, suffering minorities, people getting healthcare ripped away, etc. etc. is an acceptable price for you being able to “vote your conscience”? Exactly what is your conscience telling you?

Something that I’ve done for years is, when I run across something that I’m interested in buying, I’ll email a link to the product to myself and come back to it several days later, after the immediate “Oooh” factor has worn off, so I can look at it more objectively; after that, I’ll often just put it into a “things to…
