Yup! I do love some home-canning! I saw a home freeze dryer advertised on the internet once... It was like $4,000 which is outside my “this would be fun!” price range, but still, that would be kind of neat! And again, like you said, it isn’t just for emergencies. You can use canning or other preserving methods to…

The prevalence of parts and ammunition is a good argument for the AR. Owning a 7.62 AK and a fuckton of ammunition is also a good bet.

I’m a doctor. Theoretically if you ate no food and only drank water (any normal non-additive kind) you’re likely to become hyponatraemic in a few days as your body can only move water by moving sodium. Practically in a survival scenario your canned food will be so high in sodium content this will be the least of your…

Own one along with a 20rd drum. May look cool, definitely not cool to have to lug that sucker around.

The chainmail scrubber that’s on sale, I cannot recommend those enough for cleaning cast iron. My wife refused to use it initially, saying, “Ehh, this Brillo pad works just as well.”

Then she saw me make a couple swipes with it on our large cast iron pan, and she said, “Let me try that...”

Only “complaint” I have is…

I need to be half-dead before my doctor will give in and prescribe me antibiotics, because “overused” and blah blah blah. How are you getting your hands on spare Z-pacs?

I recommend getting one of these:

My dad used to have his morning routine so well-established that he would wake up right before his alarm (which was only the local FM station at low volume) went off. I’m so jealous of that ability right now it’s not even funny.

It has a whole situation for when you can’t find the barcode. You hit a certain button, it tells you to keep looking, and then eventually it asks for a different barcode. I used to keep a backup barcode tucked in the back of my phone case.

Adding on: the United employee who arranged for these non-rev passengers to travel will be having a very uncomfortable conversation with HR and their immediate supervisor early this week.

...pass traveler...

Lots of tweets, but pictures would say much more. If their leggings were shear enough to effectively be pantyhose/underwear as opposed to proper clothing, I would side with United. It’s unreasonable to assume that just because one of the passengers was young that her parents had her dressed properly. We really…

They tried to explain away that obvious error but I ain’t buying it.

YOUR nerd credentials have been pulled for not getting the joke.

Do you live in Beverly Hills or something? I was a teen not too long ago and I don’t know a single person who’s parents bought them a new car.

I don’t understand why teens

Let me try again.

This headline is so misleading and it’s so, so shameful of you to frame the situation like this. The GIF caused him a seizure. He’s epileptic. Yes, that is assault when you do something with the intent of hurting someone else, whether it’s just a GIF. That troll put him in danger knowingly. Epileptic seizures are…

I gotta be frank. I’m getting too old to deal with the weight of gallon glass jars daily. But for storage of bulk goods, they cannot be beat. And I do think keeping a handful of bay leaves in the bins will help.

We invested in some nice OXO containers (they will not hold 25 lbs of rice, sadly) but they did a good job of keeping them out of all our grains. We did try a few grocery store containers, but they kept finding their way in. We got what we paid for, I guess. We have been about 2 years moth free now.
