I’m guessing they haven’t made anyone sick because either a) nothing was wrong to begin with, or b) sterilization is built right into the typical prep (boiling).

...users can find advice ranging from all manner of sex acts to what to put inside their vagina—with that advice itself ranging from boric acid, to ice, to athlete’s foot medication. Read more

I accept your challange, and I’ll see you in the arena.

I have 3 cats. The 2 times I have encountered bats in my home, they were corpses presented to me as gifts.

I always found it super easy to dislike him when I hadn’t watched any of his shows. He just seemed way too much. Now that I’ve watched his stuff, he just seems like a guy that’s very enthusiastic about the industry he works in, and spends every last drop of energy he has on bringing attention to those working in the… Read more

I picked up an Ace 2 for my son over the holidays, and it’s basically a software-nerfed version of Fitbit’s Inspire product line. It has the heart rate monitor, but no way to directly access the data. I had my wife’s old Inspire HR for comparison, and I could tell no difference in the device itself. A quick Amazon… Read more

Picked up one of these (not this specific one, this was just the first result when I did a search for “food chopper”) and it totally changed the game for me. Super easy, dishwasher safe, doesn’t actively try to amputate my fingers. Read more

Came here to post the same thing. RT was a joke, and actively drove me to purchase my first MacBook.

Can confirm. I tested positive about a month ago, and started with very mild symptoms. The thing that first really caught my attention is that my morning coffee seemed super bland. When a person has a daily habit that involves smelling/tasting the same thing pretty much every day, the sudden lack of that taste/smell… Read more

No “The Christmas Song” by The Raveonettes? Seriously?

The recipe I use is basically this, but instead of the cocoa powder and optional espresso powder, I just add a cup of Kahlua. It adds that same mocha flavor, but also adds more alcohol without making the whole thing less creamy tasting. And y’know, also increases the results by a cup :-)

Counterpoint: it is always a good idea to stop working and get paid to just sit around and do nothing productive.

My response: “Good, one less person in line ahead of me. I already had Covid-19, and there’s no way I’m going through that s—t again once my natural immunity window is gone.” Read more

The apple pies at McDonald’s probably fit the definition. As do the Hostess ones previously mentioned. And yeah, also Hot Pockets.
