MULTIPLE BACKUPS, PEOPLE!

Guess what? Strangers’ germs won’t hurt your baby...at least, not any more than your own germs—and I’m guessing you touch, kiss, and cuddle your baby hundreds of times a day. Over-protecting children from ordinary microorganisms may reduce the ability of the child’s immune system to develop properly and is correlated…

There are times when there is a hardware issue and being there is the only way to trouble shoot it, but most of the time if it’s a computer related issue try using a remote viewing program like TeamViewer (free for personal use). Trying to have someone who is not very savvy with a computer trying to describe a problem…

Letting the dough rest lets the flour hydrate!

Be careful with this though, and make sure you have time for it to warm up a bit before you roll it out. I made this mistake one year. 

Not a stupid question. The simple answer is no. It would take a whole lot of devices charging off the same outlet for it to have any effect like that.

It’s really strange how people expect their bigoted beliefs to be tolerated.

Simple: spoon or fork up some of their meal and go: “Choo choo train pulling into the station... Open up! CHOO CHOO!”. If the patron turns away and/or spits up the food, you know they weren't into it. Otherwise, you just earned that 20%!

That’s really impressive. But gosh, poor thing. :( 

That depends on breed. More obscure breeds are generally better because the breeders are close-knit enough to run tight operations and don’t need to worry about maintaining a high output. Similarly, working and herding breeds seem to have more of a functional stock holding their genes together. My family’s preferred…

I get sad every time I see a French Bulldog, and find it hard the believe that the owner has no idea that it has inherent respiratory problems, among other chronic issues. It’s a cruel display of human vanity.

I wish this were always true. Of the mutts and purebreds I've had, the purebreds have always been healthier and lived longer, more comfortable lives. When adopting a dog, mutt or purebred, my first thought is always: what catastrophic health problems is this dog likely to have? My last mutt was a saint in a dog's…

It’s definitely good to figure out local custom with this sort of thing.

This is a big personal pet peeve of mine: I hate it when people ask me “How are you?” in passing. I don’t think they’d want to hear the actual answer, and I hate lying and saying “good” or “fine” if I’m not.

And thank your bus driver! You’re a right prick here in the UK if you don’t, and you want the driver on your side if you’re going to be anywhere more than a few days. One local driver hates tourist season, and will actively park 10-20 feet away from a standing crowd of backpackers or suitcases, just to make them drag…

Used my Rudimentary Bosnian to say Dobra Don (Hello/Good Day) to a Bosnian in Afghanistan. He was surprised.

in french you can do an entire, but short conversation as...

I mean, the article didn’t use the word rape at all, so ... *shrug*.

1. My soon-to-be-ex wanted a second chance. I told her no, not after what you did and said. However I feel kind of guilty about it. She has also gone back to bouncing aimlessly between job to job again and I feel sorry for her.
