I personally only use black sunflower seeds, a lot lest goes to waste and they seem to attract more interesting birds. 

Your birdseed mix has grass seed in it? I’ve never heard of such a thing.

If you can help it don’t change your plan so you stay grandfathered in to a lower rate. I pay $80/month for my wife and I for a 3GB plan. We are both connected to wifi the vast majority of time, so we use very little data. It also rolls over for a month. We do travel a lot in the summer, that is the only time we use a…

One word: Edibles 

Claire, I’m not not going to eat bacon if it’s in front of me. Is this opposite day? 

My kids are 6 and 9. I make some effort not to swear around them, but I don’t beat myself up about it too much when I do. They’ve occasionally used swear words, especially when they were younger, but we never gave them a hard time about it. I have two favorite examples of this, both involving our now 9 year old son.…

I have a funny/horrifying story regarding living at home when I was first dating my now-wife. My sister had a pregnancy that overlapped with the beginning of my relationship with my wife when I was living at home. One night we were in the middle of “relations” at about 1am. I was literally at the moment of completion…

Take a train trip? I’ve always thought that might be fun, but with COVID cases still very high I’d personally recommend against spending an extended amount of time in a train car with a bunch of other people. 

Regarding the UK, I’m still a bit confused by this one. I spent two weeks there for work about a decade ago. It was my first (and so far only) time there, and people told me ahead of time you don’t tip. Because of that I was surprised that every time I ate a meal there was a spot on the receipt to add a tip. I did not…

• A a good amount of open space on a private property, and permission from the property owner to do dumb things with your car. Could be blacktop, dirt, or grass (but a donut will tear up the turf, obviously).

Whole fish is one of the things I have yet to tackle on the grill. While that looks delicious, I have to say the addition of bacon sort of negates the reason I try to grill fish on a weekly basis to begin with. 

“While there are a variety of influences (a pandemic, terrorism, 9-11, Trump, etc) we can only really blame ourselves for these issues. We created them.”

Interesting, that is something for me to consider. 

I don’t like letting other people touch my phone, nor do I like touching other people’s phones. What % of us use our phones while on the toilet? What % of those people disinfect it after that? How many of us use our phones to watch certain types of videos while “relaxing”? How often does the average person disinfect…

That’s almost too considerate, I’d be afraid they would be pissed when I forget to send them a message since you’ve raised expectations. It’s okay though, they create odors that annoy me as well. Their dryer vents next to my driveway, which is adjacent to my kitchen window. They use awful strongly-scented dryer…

I use a Weber starter, in fact I’m a Weber fanboy, IME their accessories are better quality than other brands. I’d say I usually have a lot of smoke for the first 5-10 minutes after lighting it. I’ll also note that after more than ten years of using newspaper I switched to those wax cubes to get things started. I…

I don’t!

Most likely. 

They’ve lived there a year and I haven’t so much as said hi to them. It’s a rental house, I generally don’t talk to people who live there unless they seem social. 

Ha, I didn’t realize they were about grilling in parks. Clearly I just skimmed the article.
