Depending on your geographic location, Wal-Mart Supercenters, Krogers, Shaws, Albertsons, Food Lion, Bi-Rite, Foodtown, and many others have lard. I have occassionally seen it at 'Pantry' and a few 'quick stores', too, if in the South. Forget looking for it near 'health' stores - they are too wrapped up in the…

Any 'grocery store of the masses' will have it, it is refrigerated, near the eggs and butter. It is also the NUMBER 1 oil you will want to use to properly 'cure' a new cast iron frying pan or dutch oven, as it seals the pores in the cast iron perfectly, so that clean-up is merely hot-water and a rag away, and the cast…

If you do not kill your own pigs to boil your lard down, yourself, the best way is to fry bacon in a clean skillet, then after done, pour the 'drippings' off into a stoneware bowl or other heat-safe ceramic, to cool. Once cooled, you can refrigerate lard for 1-2 months, and simply spoon out and back into your pan, as…

When everything went HDTV on-air in 2009, I wanted to experiment with it, so I hunted for a well-reviewed antenna. It was an RCA flat pane antenna, but not the one shown here. It was about 10x12-inches, and had a small signal amp. It worked like a charm. Funniest thing though, it said it was omni-directional, but it…

Actually, it has mild germocidal and antifungal properties, and is why it is used to treat top-end ceramic water filters. But retarding the growth of microscopic life on filters, and people taking it like a vitamin, are a FAR SIGHT different purposes - and most likely, with far different outcomes.

Now, apply this stupidity to real life and see how far it DOESN'T fly:

Unless I misunderstood, this all comes down to the girls performing as cheerleaders for either $100 per homegame (or $125, if a captain), with various incentives for calendar sales, personal appearances, etc. Then, you see that they must do makeup with a salon that charges $1000 a visit. Ok, either this isn't a job,…

Now, apply this stupidity to real life and see how far it DOESN'T fly:

Two words to ANYONE who wants to watch 'out of region' works via streaming online: PROXY SERVER. Most are free, go and get yourself a UK, US, etc. proxy server to bypass STUPIDITY whenever you feel the urge hit.

While everyone is 'a grillmaster legend in their own mind', this 'warm meat' grilling is not only highly over-rated and has been debunked several times, but allows numerous pathogens ample time to help you 'finish your meal' with a cursory round of food poisoning. The best burgers include lots of 'extras' that can…

Filters are a lot like electronics, the general user is easily ripped off because they don't understand the tech, and no one will put it in simple words for them. This is a shame, and if anything bad happened, I am sure this would end up causing many to be sick.

Reference your filter's tech data. You want mesh size, specifically. You need to know how small it filters to. If it can filter down to 0.2 microns, it will remove all bacteria. Viruses are smaller. To remove all Viruses, like Polio, you have to have a filter good down to (less than) 20 nanometers in size. These are…

I call LIE on 'Purifies Water', look up purify versus filter first, before using such words. This filter doesn't even give a mesh-size it FILTERS (not purifies) to. You have to filter to .2 microns to filter bacteria out, and to 20 nanometers to filter out the smallest viruses, like Polio. This filter does NOT do…

You DO realize, both Dominos and Little Caesars BOTH have this recipe beat, for basic price advantage, right? Once you add sauce, cheese and pepperoni to your grocery list, you are looking (easily) at an $8 pizza this way. You can get a deep dish from EITHER of the commercial guys for that, DELIVERED!

"NSF/ANSI Standard 42 covers POU and POE systems designed to reduce specific aesthetic or non-health-related contaminants (such as chlorine, taste and odor, and particulates) that may be present in public or private drinking water. The scope of Standard 42 is to establish minimum requirements for material safety,…

I am a FIRM BELIEVER in day-old room-temp pizza. Haven't been sick after over 2k of them, either. Germ-phobics need to talk me through how THAT happened.

Totally wrong. Explain this urban myth of 'rice not eaten should be immediately refrigerated or destroyed' to the concept of saki. Sorry, but rice merely sours when left out at room temps. Basic rule: animal proteins less than 2-hours total at temps above 38F, or dispose of them. Protein is the facilitator of MOST…

In the past 3-years, two of the three known viruses I've gotten on my system were from Google extensions that were 'off-site' hosted. This is the absolute smartest-thing that Google could have done, the only responsible thing. To see all the malware programmers commenting against Google on this, all I can say is 'if…

As a few others have mentioned here, I have the exact opposite experience. I went from Netscape to IE to Chrome, and while testing other browsers along that 1995-to-2011 path, found that Chrome was very hard to beat. Netscape lost hope in the 90's with VERY unintuitive interface changes early on. I went to IE, but…

Excellent point, and I would like to add, that learning how to set up a 'generic name' G+ account is not only critical, but required in today's 'no anonymity' world we live in, because if they won't expect your privacy, time to don the V-Mask, isn't it? That said, just remember, Google mail has a GREAT filter engine.…
