I partially expected this article to be blank, or at most: “copies a bunch of stuff from Google.”

I was just coming to say this. Thank you.

Crunchy taco shells are delicious

Thank god. Now I can finally use alcohol instead of a chemical.

Jigsaw blade is too flimsy to cut 3mm metal plate.

A fair point, but also one that doesn’t necessarily apply to the topic ... which sort of implies that you get enough rain to sustain water-needy plants. So you know... not Phoenix :)

Dick mentions this in the article, but I can't stress enough: please go to a doctor, get bloodwork done, and have him thoroughly test you for all of the health issues associated with being overweight, if you are worried about your health in reference to being overweight. If you are way in the clear, you are fine. In…

Man, there are so many vinegars out there. They’re all useful and delicious when mixed with the right things.
