I fully accept that this is an annoying comment but I really can’t help myself -
Inasmuch as “unique” means “one of a kind”, it’s a dichotomous state. Something either is or isn’t unique, and therefore it can’t be modified by an adverb in the way this headline does.

He did, and it was messy (though if there was physical abuse in the first marriage it would be news to me)

Well, I know from personal experience you’re not the first one to mix them up, and I feel very confident you won’t be the last 🙂

Jan and Dean, actually, not the Beach Boys

Keepass.

I prefer KeePass, for the non-cloud-based nature of it. I don’t feel at all threatened/nervous about a potential security breach because there is no centralized repository where my passwords are, merely my local database file. Now, I do (for convenience’s sake) keep that on my Google Drive so I can sync it across…

I’ll do you one better than that, even — 165 is the temperature for no-hold-time salmonella killing, but if you can maintain a lower temperature for longer you achieve the same bacterial reduction. A full minute at 155 is just as effective as touching 165!

Life and Oh’s! both deserved to be picked, but this was still overall a great draft. Well done, all!

A “cup” of coffee is traditionally ~5 oz, in fact.

Unless the union is calling for you to not use the service and/or you have to literally cross through a line of people I think you’re okay. I could be wrong, though.

As has been the case with I think all of these so far, everyone I want to vote for made one choice my tongue/taste buds just absolutely can’t agree with - it makes it difficult! I wish Alison had chosen *anything* but the Thanksgiving leftovers, then it’d be easy to decide. Now... gaaaaah, this meaningless decision is…

My (married-filing-jointly) income went up this year; however, even accounting for that new income being taxed at the full tax-bracket rate my effective tax rate went up by a not-insubstantial amount. The changes to exemptions and the standard deduction just crushed us (relatively speaking). Now, we’re already in the…

I can definitely agree on the “not handled well” bit, yeah, and that it coming up so quickly wasn’t great.

Yeah, that’s the weird thing — this was it if the blue and not really consistent with prior characterization. Felt like shoehorning in a plot from a different, worse sitcom.

“threatening to divorce someone if they don’t do what you want is a huge red flag” — I agree in just about any circumstance except this one. She’s not being coercive, she’s making it clear that she needs to be with a partner who wants to have kids, and if that’s not him then so be it. It speaks to a potential fundament…

“Less-than-stellar results”

It changes the character of the soup a little (but in a good way, I think), but Dubliner cheese is a really excellent choice in place of gruyere for something just a little different.

And has given away literally 100 million books to children for free — https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/reliable-source/wp/2018/02/27/dolly-parton-likes-to-give-away-books-she-just-donated-her-100-millionth

“Report: FDA Commissioner Presented Plan to Restrict Flavored E-Cigarettes to White House Staff” — I swear, just because of the general corruptness of the current administration, that when I clicked I thought this was going to be a story about an FDA commissioner who wanted to make it so only White House staff could…

I assume the nickname “Frenchie” just arises naturally from Frank, which sounds like Franc, which has all sorts of linguistic connections to France. Seems pretty straightforward, honestly.
