I was just looking at the Thermoworks BlueDot a couple days ago. It seems to have features comparable to the iGrill Mini and, presumably, better quality.

I’m a skeptic. I wouldn’t assume that the head of the government was involved in every little assassination. That said, now that Trump denies it it’s hard to think of the Saudi crown prince as anything but guilty. That, and this article lays out a pretty good (but not conclusive) case.
As a side note, are other…

This philosophy worked for me. At 18 I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life. Sure, Britney Spears had gone platinum by that age, but that comes with direction early on, dedication, and a ton of luck. Instead of worrying about success early, I took random community college classes for 6 years, working full time…

My god, you just listed all the things I hated about my 20's. I hated the hookup culture because I got attached. I hated having to live with people when I was poor. I didn’t have the kids excuse to stop talking to people.
I was born a crotchety old man.

I would suggest receiving all emails in a POP client so you know you’ll always have them, even in the apocalypse.  An account hack or lost password won’t lose everything.

AOL. It has always been there, it will always be there.

My one overriding theme in life is efficiency. I had a similar epiphany: Often the most efficient thing is to do whatever feels right. For example, the stress of planning every minute of a vacation renders the entire vacation pointless, I get much more out of a vacation winging it and maybe missing an attraction or…

A couple tricky sodas: Barq’s in the Coke Freestyle machines is labelled as caffeine-free. They also claim it’s caffeine free in Utah.  At this point I don’t trust that someone hooks up the right syrup container to risk it.  Also, Sunkist Orange Soda contains caffeine, which is totally unexpected.

White chocolate is a wildcard. From wikipedia: “In the United States, since 2004, white chocolate must be (by weight) at least 20% cocoa butter, 14% total milk solids, and 3.5% milk fat, and no more than 55% sugar or other sweeteners.”
This rule isn’t 100% followed. Often times items are labelled as “white…

Dress worse than the homeless.  I didn’t get mugged once.  Also, the art museum is delightful.

You may be 5 steps past this, but have you tried Cefaly? It’s a prescription device that treats migraines and trigeminal neuralgia with electrical stimulation. My drugs are starting to fail me so that’s what I plan on trying next.

Another important question: Can this be cured rather than just throwing pain killers at it? I had a friend that went to the ER with debilitating pain from a pinched nerve. The ER doctor said that lots of people have lower back pain and she’d just have to take narcotics the rest of her life. It’s normal. 3 days later…

I had my wisdom teeth removed and ended up with 4 dry sockets. Other than local anesthetics, Ibuprofen for dry sockets was the most effective pain reliever I’ve taken for anything.  Opioids for migraines?  Didn’t even make a dent.

It advertises a USB port, and says “Plug in your phone with a USB cable to super-size your mobile content.”  I see no mention of protocol or supported operating systems, but there’s a chance you don’t need a streaming dongle.

I always wanted OLED wallpaper that could light a room and not cast any shadows. It was supposed to be cheap and printable, at least that’s what they said when OLEDs first came out. Replace the wallpaper with OLED TVs and you have a VR room. Way more expensive than projectors.

My best hack is to eat right-handed. Eating with utensils requires some skill. You eat multiple times a day so can get plenty of practice. If you screw up then the most you do is drop food, no big deal. In the end you end up more ambidextrous, more capable of living in a right handed world. I’ve been doing this for a…

US side: avoid if possible.

I don’t know much about fancy food, but man that first toast picture is tripping my trypophobia.

This is an android device. According to the reviews of the last Nebula, the device was kinda buggy an no updates were released to fix any of the problems. I wouldn’t trust this.

FYI, only a tiny piece of that comment was actually true.
