We may or may not have handed out a few leftover (factory-sealed) jellybean-filled easter eggs this year...

Also, make sure your shower curtain rod is installed high enough that the shower curtain isn’t dragging on the floor, or the liner isn’t puddling in the bottom of the tub. This lets the water drip out of the liner, and makes sure the shower curtain isn’t picking up dirt/cat hair/water from the bathroom floor.

How the heck did you fit all of that on a half sheet pan and still get the veggies to brown nicely? I could see doing one half sheet pan for the turkey and stuffing, and a second half sheet pan for the veggies?

From an accessibility standpoint, this is a good thing to have. This would allow people who for whatever reason are not able to use a computer interface to buy stocks without involving another person (paid or otherwise).

Hitchhiker’s Guide is awesome, but wasn’t Douglas Adams British? I’m not sure what the requirements were for the Great American Read, but I’m guessing it was probably restricted to American authors. I still would have voted for Hitchhiker’s Guide, though.

Oof, I don’t think I would have been willing to try getting needles stuck in my face! Yeah, the position itself probably didn’t do it, then.

Had you tried laying in that position (on your stomach, face pointed however it was during the acupuncture) before, though? That could have been part of it.

You know what they call alternative medicine that’s been proved to work? Medicine.

Wait, how is wearing a tank top rude? I guess if you’re talking about the ones that guys wear with the arm holes that go down to their waist, that wouldn’t fly at a nice restaurant. But are you including any sleeveless top that has relatively narrow straps?

In the U.S., it definitely still is counter-culture. Our Humanist group has been asked to leave restaurants during our monthly meetings on more than one occasion. There are still cities that don’t allow atheists to give an invocation before city council meetings. Some conservatives are still legitimately worried about…

Yeah, the mumbo-jumbo really puts me off of satanism in general. I am more interested in the history of how these movements came about. LaVey, Hubbard, Crowley, Blavatsky, etc. were really interesting characters, with some really weird ideas, and were definitely exploiting their followers. There are some good episodes…

Thanks for sharing this, Claire! Satanists have always gotten a bad rap (partially their own doing, tbh), but most of them are pretty great people. I am a Secular Humanist, but I have done some reading on satanists. It seems like a lot of satanists are actually atheists or agnostics who enjoy adopting a…

Nebraskan here. When I was younger, the Nebraska State Fair always had a bunch of different exotic meats for people to try. I think it was a joint partnership between the individual vendors and Nebraska Fish & Wildlife. I don’t remember if they had kangaroo, but they definitely had bison, ostrich, alligator, and a few…

Can you share libraries across multiple accounts, so that they are editable by everyone they are shared with? I am trying to figure out if my husband and I need to use the same account, or if we can each set up our own account.

Do you use a single account for multiple people in your family, or can you share your library across multiple accounts? I’m trying to figure out if my husband and I need to use the same account, or if we can each set up an account and share our libraries?

Entomology. I love insects, and had an insect collection growing up. I think that the way insects and other arthropods fit into our ecosystem is infinitely fascinating. Lately I’ve been learning a lot more about native solitary bees, both for my job (Landscape Architect) and for fun. Of course, when I talk to people…

You can pressure can sauces with meat or dairy in them. The increased pressure lets the temperature in the jars get higher, destroying more bacteria than with water bath canning. Unfortunately, the Instant Pot is not rated for pressure canning, so you’d have to get a different pressure cooker that’s rated for canning.

Yeah, that’s what I currently do, but I still have to stir it, which is when it likes to spatter. I’ve started wrapping my hand in a dish towel so it doesn’t get burned.

Do you think I could use my crock pot for the slow cooker portion of the recipe, or would it not get hot enough? I’m wondering if I could double up, using both my slow cooker and pressure cooker, since I have my own metric fuckton of tomatoes I need to turn into sauce.
