I remember going on a Family Vacation in my early 20s, and my Dad actually booked me a seat in the smoking section of the plane. THAT is the day I knew my parents recognized me as an adult.

Absolutely right that malware is an added risk of scanning QR codes. I am suffering from COVID presently, so blame my COVID-addled brain for leaving that out. And thank you for adding that risk.

Any IT Security professional can tell you TOO MANY stories about hijacked QR Codes that lead to cloned sites with nefarious intents. It really is not too hard to replace a tableside QR code without the restaurant noticing. If it is a restaurant that allows you to pay via that QR code, a bad guy can steal BOTH…

I think many of us in solo households are guilty of doing this. I never thought there was anything “risky” about it, so long as I don’t leave the rest of the leftovers out for too long. Things like shrimp will turn into little erasers if you reheat them more than once, but pasta just needs a little moisture and maybe…

For some applications, yes.

Guess y’all do not live in a place with any nature, like cats, opossums, coyotes, rats, ants, etc. And that the thought of them leaving food on a dirty door mat doesn’t bother you at all. I never specify “no contact,” but sometimes it is delivered that way, and usually that’s when there has been some problem with the…

CCleaner is still useful. The ONE time a registry cleaner comes in handy is when Windows Update gets borked. CCleaner can get rid of that bad registry entry a lot easier than manually finding and messing with it. It’s useful in getting rid of old system restore points too.

Where I love, there is actually a bounty for lionfish. And if you can get around the spikes, they are yummy eating!  But that is because they eat all of the other yummy fishes, and hence why they threaten the natural ecosystem so much.

Most of the good fish would not win a beauty contest, with the exception of Lionfish. Like Hogfish, lionfish eat a lot of the other yummy fishes out there. And being that they are invasive and a threat to the natural local ecosystem, there are no catch limits, but actual bounties instead.

Grouper is one of the ugliest fish around. So much, a local restaurant named itself “The Ugly Grouper,” and has an ugly fish as its mascot. But it’s also the fish everyone wants to eat in Florida. Monkfish is another fish we eat here, when we can afford it. It is generally higher priced than even Hogfish. Perhaps the…

Look for that Blue Check on Social Media. One thing these scam accounts have in common is none are from verified accounts. An account creation date of yesterday is another Red Flag.And no link to rules and conditions is another.

Depends on your air fryer: 380 - 400

Try air frying your asparagus...

Exactly. And there are a slew of stunt professionals that have to retire because of injury. And a history of injuries from before there were stunt men and advanced effects. (Buddy Ebsen having life long issues from the makeup he had to wear as the Tin Man comes to mind. No, he ended up being too sick to be in the…

I wonder if the next thing we’ll be studying is whether action movie type actors have a similar type of thing as the athletes with concussive related disorders, due cumulative damaged from prolonged and repeated “minor” type bruises. This will likely result in the “Christopher Reeve Effect” when it comes to research,…

Wrote a thesis and did an independent study on brain injuries with a world-renowned expert while getting my Masters, as well as worked professionally as an Assistive Technology Specialist, including the 1st model demo lab for AT in the US. Started working with cognitively disabled folks when I still needed working…

As far as I can tell, Will’s Publicist/Team carefully crafted and released an apology on social media; there have been no reports on an apology from Will himself, who we now know was asked to leave after the slap and refused.

Speech Therapy can definitely help, as can augmentative communication devices and other assistive technologies.

Not being one to follow Housewife type gossip, and being one who assumes folks are honest when they decide to go public with a private medical condition, I accepted Jada’s claim to have an autoimmune disorder that caused alopecia. After spending a day reading Jada’s own disclosures, and learning how old she is, I…

My Dad had a bar tool especially for this. Came in one of those ubiquitous 70s type Bar Sets, along with the shaker that had a Tom Collins recipe on the side. It was a combo tool, and was more like a small cheese plane than a peeler, but a lot smaller. He always wanted his cocktail with a twist, so I remember that…
