I get that checking for IDs is usually policy, but wow does it make being an online student annoying.

I work visitor services at a free museum (it’s not the Met, but it’s quite large and has an excellent collection), and we saw a great shift in demographics when we moved to being free. That being said, we also ramped up outreach and made programming that brought more children in. Museums can be intimidating for people…

I smell an impending Jimmy Fallon TimberWeek.

Non-peak times are the best!

No worries, he’s wearing a trilby*. Wouldn’t want a M’Lady to see him sans hat like some cave person.

hah thanks for your restraint

I just need one kid with a box dye job, sharpie-d nails, and bad eyeliner to tell her that she really inspired them to go punk.

I think she just never thought about doing it herself. She’s generally pretty independent otherwise.

Exactly what my sister said. Although, to be fair, our local diner’s counter is usually only filled with retired old guys

I got the sample paper version that they offer a while back, and it’s lovely. It’s a perfect balance of recipes and food-chat, with a really helpful focus on techniques (old and new). Looks like the digital version AND a free weekly recipe email list is up and running: https://www.177milkstreet.com/

Thank you for this oddly comforting little piece of advice!

I’m a 20-something, and when I’m home for Christmas or whatever I love to hit up old favorites when my folks/siblings are at work. My sister thinks this is an incredibly odd and eccentric thing to do, especially at our little local diner. I say I’m a hungry…

I said this for The Force Awakens, and I’ll say this for The Last Jedi: One of the great merits of the film is that it makes people new to Star Wars fall in love with the franchise.

I admittedly wasn’t into Star Wars at all when I went into The Force Awakens. I knew it was cinematically important, as a film lover that…

For all the references this movie pulls, is no one going to mention the giant flux capicitor guest-starring as a tracker?

Thank you, dip angel!

Does anyone have a good, hot sausage dip recipe? I had one in college that I can only describe as the savory, grown-up version of a buffalo chicken dip. It had a nice, kicky spice to it (maybe it also had pepperoni???) and a white cheese base of some sort. I’m not a sausage fan (I think it’s the spices in Italian…

I read it in something ages ago, so nothing peer-reviewed, unfortunately. Here’s an article I could find that touches on industrialization, though:

As someone who grew up with chickens, I prefer the non-refrigerated option since recipes often work better with room-temp eggs.

Yep, US chickens, either from their living conditions or genetics, are more prone to carry salmonella.

To be fair, WE have ways of treating broken bones and cancer is still definitely different
