Also look for the size of the district involved. Some are larger than might be expected. Boston Public Library (bpl.org) provides access for the whole state of Massachusetts, not just the Boston region. Look at bigger cities in your home state for this.

And assume you will hit a wire or a pipe and plan accordingly.
Stop using your grandfather’s electric drill with the neat metal casing.
Stop using the wired drill with the broken grounding pin, or the outlet with no ground.
Don’t stand in a puddle.

OK, so how many minutes DO you pressure cook eggs for to get the examples in the article? I’ve been at 5 minutes, immediate release, lift out basket of eggs (only thing I use basket for regularly), dump hot water from pot, rinse with cold (5 sec), start filling with cold in sink, throw in handful of ice cubes, put…

Another option: a bench brush.  Somewhat bigger, but also designed for brushing off sawdust from a workbench.

I’m waiting for the stand-off between the CIA (Langley) and the CIA (Culinary Institute of America) on the use of various “foods” in enhanced interrogation.  

10 years ago I was diagnosed as diabetic with an A1c of 9.5. I weighed 265 at 5'9" (male). I lost 35 pounds within a years. I plateaued there. My diabetes didn’t go away. I changed my general diet (low-fat, what a crock) to a lower carb diet. My A1c was generally 6.5—7.0. Gone up in pandemic and I’ve lost another 10…

potato farls. A little more work, but once the leftover mashed is in the form of potato farls they won’t last long and they reheat easy. Following recipe is close enough (I do it by eye, so this works better for passing it on). Modify recipe since it assumes the cold mashed potatoes have not already had salt and…

I have the air fryer lid for my 6qt IP. So far, it’s good for meals with 1-2 folks. Things I’ve like so far — italian sausages — 11 minutes, flip half way. Really juicy with crisp skin. Set and forget while dealing with whatever else I’m having with the sausages. Haven’t tried, but I believe that you only need to add…

Oh dear. Folks still trot out this one. Yes, gasoline is a fine solvent and will clean things really well. It’s also flammable as heck and has invisible fumes that are heavier than air.  It happens often enough still that someone is cleaning something with gasoline uphill (or upstairs) of a flame.  That’s all it…

Now I know what I’m having for breakfast in the morning.

Many years ago now, when my now wife and I were first dating, I sneezed while she was driving. She claims she swerved across two lanes. I’m sure it was only one. She’s learned to listen to my sharp inhalations just before I sneeze as a warning.

Agreed.  Do you remember if it was greater than 3.0, 3.25, 3.5, etc.  Either leave it off, put the real number in, or something truthful.  Don’t lie.

Family has been using a foil-wrapped brick to weigh down a desert “cooked” in the fridge in a loaf pan for generations. Just about fits perfectly on the top and does the job. Cans left funny round dents on the top.

Will it go past 20-25 entries? That’s just way too short a list.

Like Dustin Hoffman in Kramer vs Kramer -- they’re crunchy eggs!  (or something to that effect)

An interview with the band mentions once being hassled by a local sheriff because that was the number of his daughter Jennie. Wouldn’t believe it was a coincidence.  Probably made up,  but made a good interview. 

If you know it’s going to snow/sleet/freezing rain, lift your windshield wipers.  No need to cover them with anything.  Scrape the windows and give the wipers a whack with the scraper to knock off any ice.  Standard practice in large swaths of New England.

Well, yes.  But it wasn’t an $8 bottle.  It was a decent tawny port meant for savoring after a full dinner.  

Pretty sure it is designed as an 8oz drink. The recipe calls for 2 cups cream, 2 cups milk, 8 oz milk chocolate, 8 oz semisweet chocolate. Equating volume and mass (not correct, but close enough) this is 6 cups total to serve 6.  That is an 8oz serving.  Not sure who first brought 16oz into the discussion.  It’s not…
