So unrelated (I’m sorry), but you’ve just jogged a memory that I probably haven’t thought about since the ‘90s: When I was in third grade we learned what a.m. and p.m. stand for, but one of my classmates was absent that day. We happened to have a substitute teacher when on the day he came back, and when he asked for…

For those considering buying a magnetic solution: Make sure your knives are magnetic. I purchased all of my knives à la carte, and found out the hard way that almost half of them are not magnetic. I don’t know off the top of my head who made them or what they’re made of—they’re good knives, I just can’t store them…

It’s not television, but there’s an especially delicious-looking sandwich in the movie Spanglish which warranted a special feature on the DVD. Apparently Adam Sandler spent quite a lot of time training to make it, and although I’ve more or less forgotten the movie, I do remember the sandwich. Essentially it’s a BLT…

Ah, yes. The well-known liberal conspiracy of not courting the Dads Who Take Offense at Advertising demographic.

Well, we’ll put it this way: I have a six-month-old son. Which is to say that I used to have a sex life, and I’m hoping to have one again once I’m not overtired all the time.

It does taste good, thankfully. Even so, I’ve been beating myself up for years.

WUT. Lifehacker has just dispelled two and a half decades of self-doubt on my part.

So having read this post and skimmed some of the comments, the lifehack I’m pulling out of all of this is “don’t be a dickbag”. The lede might be a little buried, but the message is loud and clear.

Spaak! It’s my favorite because it’s so confusing—not because it’s delicious, because it ain’t.

Apologies for not having logged into Kinja for two months, but no. I asked for sources. Pick your own argument.

Many years ago on my wife’s phone:

A hundred times over, huh? Can you cite sources?

Remind me again who the damn snowflakes are?

And hey, how ‘bout these two quotes from H.P. Lovecraft?

I mean, it’s worth a listen just for the song Roses Are Free, but I’ve always preferred Pure Guava to Chocolate and Cheese.

I’ve never used one of these services either, but it seems to me that they’re aimed at the sort of people who get halfway through a eating meal before they realize that they’ve only prepared an entrée, or who haven’t found the knack of timing things so that everything is hot by the time it gets to the table. They…

So in other words, don’t hate the cracka, hate the game.

I’ve been using apples rather than bananas. It probably takes a little longer, but in the end the apple is still edible, whereas the banana is usually only good for banana bread.

Noted (and thanks for providing the only serious response)! I have a couple right now that don’t have country of origin stickers on them, and I’ve never noticed if the display in the store says where they’re from, but I’ll keep an eye out for it next time.

My problem is that avocadoes I buy tend to stay rock hard for ages, and when I finally decide I can’t wait any longer, I cut them open only to find a moldy (and still stiff) mess inside. Doesn’t matter if they spend all their time in the fridge or out on the counter. Any suggestions for this problem?
