The pacific nw is a major berry producing region, so depending on store, time of year, and weekly sales; it is possible the blueberries are affordable 

There are lots of countries that don’t eat “bad” American food that still got totally pummeled with covid. Countries that eat Mediterranean diets had bad covid. Asian countries where everyone is vegetarian got bad covid. It’s like covid is maybe a global pandemic.

I had heard that the production studios/offices/etc. for Fox News have had their own company-specific vaccine card (with scannable chip) required for everyone entering office space/filming sets/etc since May or June. I can’t prove it, but I can 100% imagine Tucker and Laura et al. requiring their minions who produce…

AYFKM? I’m often game for a good religious exemption, but I honestly and truly can not see how someone who works directly with vulnerable or elderly patients should be offered an exemption from Covid vaccination. To put patients at risk like that is just plain cruel. No matter how sincere their belief is. You can’t…

I am, and have been for years, trying to like eggs and beans. I’m getting close with eggs: I’m a new fan of Kobe steakhouse-style fried rice, and occasionally I’ll make a cheese and herb or sausage strata.

Don’t you have to turn off and stow all personal electronic devices during take off until the aircraft has reached its cruising altitude and the captain has turned off the seat belt sign? You can find a list of approved devices in the in flight magazine located in your seat pocket.

Maybe it’s luck that I haven’t had a carpet or furniture sunscreen disaster. I do manage to get it everywhere: lightswitch plates, door handles, laptops, car handles and dashboards. I’ve been told to consider them grease stains, so usually wiping the hard surfaces with some goo-b-gone, or more grease (like mineral…

maybe a few meat packing plants? they’ve been a (literal) $hi+$how since March 2020, but I thought a court threw a few dollars to a few grieving family members.
an industry with better outcomes might be professional sports.  One of the first major outbreaks in the U.S. was among the Utah Jazz.  A lot of players had…

That’s kinda the kicker. The guy who said that, the opening speaker at the TP conference, is a real ER doctor. He was vaccinated himself in mid-December, because duh. He certainly gets flu shots and recommends that his patients do too. He’s very carefully not saying that people *shouldn’t* get vaccinated, he’s saying…

Isn’t the point of ice-first to guarantee faster and more complete cooling by making sure the coffee gets better contact with the ice?  If the ice is melting too much or watering down the drink, wouldn’t it be better to adjust either the strength of the hot coffee or letting it pre-cool before pouring over ice?

Yes. The CDC specifically lists indoor exercise classes as “green”/safe for vaccinated people (even those with unvaccinated children). I understand why some might choose additional precautions, but condemning them for following CDC guidelines is a bad take.

I get all my lingerie from Brawr Barn.

being labeled “picky”, as in a “picky eater”, was absolutely detrimental to my relationship with food and created unnecessary social anxiety.

The who-can-play-who gatekeeping seems like a delicate balance or a slippery slope to absurdity. The whole point of acting is pretending to be someone you’re not. Are any of the Nazi characters in Man in the High Castle played by Germans? It looks like many of them are not just from other European countries, but…

I’m 100% judging the eff out of them, just as much or even more than I would for any other bad parenting choice that puts children at risk: not using car seats, not putting sunscreen on outside, keeping guns unlocked in the house, smoking in the car with windows rolled up, leaving rx drugs in child-height drawers,…

It’s not popular advice because it flies in the face of being both “healthy” and “frugal” but if you want to eat more meatless meals: pay someone else to do the cooking (i.e.: eat out more) Restaurant kitchens have more manpower, better equipment, and more training than you (and honestly, I can’t be the only one who…

Yeach, I think a lot of folks are ignoring the part that the bully himself was a minor at the time. Ironically, if his actions were a crime, his juvenile record would be confidential 

My real question is:

Per yesterday’s CDC update, indoor gyms are safe only for the fully vaccinated, if they’re wearing a mask. So maybe include an icon of the green “safest activity” guy from their mask guidelines poster?

The OG Orange Man, John Boehner, has recently crawled out of some GOP lair. We used to think he was the orangeyest and terrible at his job. He was, but it was a different time (2014)
