Stella’s recipe is by far the best one I’ve found. Can't recommend it enough. 

Kinda what I was thinking when I saw “reclusive”

Pass

I've never heard of these or seen one, and I hope to never livyin a place where they are common or necessary. 

No. Money is money. Fuel, chemicals, and labor cost money. Waiting a couple weeks isn't going to get next year's crop in the ground any sooner.

TLDR: we have the technology to detect chemicals at concentrations that will never actually have an effect on humans, and some activists like to use that fact to get publicity and those sweet sweet clicks.

I’ve seen several things on social media talking about the artificial ripening and stating that it’s a common practice in wheat or oat or corn (depending on the post) farming. And it’s just not true. And anyone who tells you it is is either lying or has no understanding of the economics or science of farming. This is…

Yeah, by European customs I mean I thought I read somewhere that later settlers ran into “natives” they assumed had never had contact who used formal greetings like handshakes and curtsies or whatever. 

If the person you’re responding to is not a native speaker then this is a plausible argument for them to make, and a gentle correction/explanation is helpful. Many people in other countries learn to read and write English fairly well, but their actual practice of speaking and listening is limited. 

If we’re talking about the US, then it should be fairly simple to fill that tank with potable water. Filters wouldn’t be needed if they properly clean and maintain the tanks and pipes. The fact that either the coffee or the wash water could be that foul is worth complaining about to the airline.

Another great mystery from grade school is the lost colony of Roanoke. The lost colony that left a sign telling people where they went. Then the next waves of settlers encountered blue eyed “natives” who were familiar with European custom. We really do a poor job of teaching history due to sugarcoat if everything. 

The lack of reef is an interesting point. If you ever manage to go to Hawaii (which has some coral) and then visit some older island chain with well established reef, the difference in the fish numbers is noticeable. 

I mean, sure, they could have been looking for something else or just stumbled upon it by accident, but the it was a settlement. The fact that there was fairly consistent contact throughout the Polynesian triangle and repeat voyages implies that be people chose to stay on Rapa Nui.

The only problem I have with southwest is they don’t fly to the places I need to go

Let me rephrase: that sounds like hell, but if I were a few years younger and didn't have kids I'd probably be into it. 

Twitter has some problems, but most of that can be solved by just not following or blocking assholes like Jones. It’s still the best place for breaking news during major events (even if people get some details wrong). It’s also a great place for up to the minute sports and pop culture information.

Nice? That sounds awful. Same day stuff is way too stress inducing for me these days. I need plans.

Yeah, southwest and other budget carriers have a tendency to charge the same per leg on a one way or round trip. It’s the old legacy carriers and some international airlines where this article applies.

I read about this a while ago, shortly before taking a cross country flight. Maybe I was hyper aware because of the article, but I noticed my hands smelled like mold/mildew after washing them in the sink in the lav. I hope the coffee water isn’t coming from the same tank as the hand washing water. I’ve noticed it a…

Yeah, the dirty dish towel part is pretty in line with what they’re saying about the water.
