Lawns are bullshit!

If you buy out your leased car just to then sell it at a profit, won’t you then be left trying to acquire another car in an elevated pricing environment? This makes sense to me if it’s a surplus vehicle or if you are naturally at the end of your lease and will be keeping the car (making it cheaper than finding…

After 9/11, knitting needles were banned, but some folks at Ravelry organized a write-in campaign and the TSA caved.

For what that’s worth

I have a nervous/prepper mind so I have researched as I am going to Cali soon. Some important but also weird add-ons you can carry-on:

You forgot the biggest lifehack. There’s a limit on carrying on liquid water, but you can carry on as much frozen water as you want. Just make sure less than 3.4oz thaws when you go through security (or drink the liquid portion before going through security).

If people were a little less self absorbed and more focussed on participating in and contributing to the world around them, this stuff wouldn’t matter. At all.

Maybve just stop taking “instagram pictures”? There,solved it.

Cool beans, now do an article about how real people have pores in their skin.  I am absolutely sick and tired of seeing people online looking like airbrushed mannequins thinking it’s ‘hot’.

It’s still important to remember that this should not be your only backup. Should your GMail account be suddenly blocked with no warning, you would want another backup available somewhere else. Google support is notoriously nonexistent unless you know someone there.

You might be surprised how many people are driving without a licesne or a suspended license.

Part of the problem is that the term “gaslighting” only entered cultural consciousness a few years ago (though it’s been around longer than that) and people began to misattribute lying or other things as gaslighting.

I think you hit the nail on the head here, Intent is key, regular lying is used to get away with something specific gaslighting is used to make the abuser the arbiter of reality for the victim, they aren’t lying to get away with something specific but to create that “you can’t trust anyone but me” mentality... 

Yes, because it isn’t the actual printer that makes you vulnerable, it’s the windows printing subsystem.

People who are on immunosuppressants or are immuno-compromised (a lot of people) are not fully-protected, even if they’re vaccinated. How much protection they get is still being tested, and varies by health condition and type of drug. Wearing a mask indoors in places that these people can’t avoid going to or working in…

The best thing I saw on the internet about wearing a mask was;

As a very important note, only use regular WHITE cane sugar: not organic (may not be completely free of molasses, which is great for humans but poisonous to hummingbirds because of iron), not brown, coconut, etc. Most definitely do NOT use honey! Just use plain white sugar.

That’s nice and easy. I hadn’t looked at the Audubon Society recommendations. I have always made my own syrup, but stuck with heating it to dissolve the sugar. The justification I had heard was that boiling it for about 1-min helps to sterilize the syrup. It of course has to cool to room temp before putting it in the…

Alternatively, you could also try to support actual local, independently owned businesses instead of turning to other massive chains run by corporations that are only slightly less awful than Amazon

Ummmm... You realize what you described is proper driving technique. ‘Keep right except to pass.’ It’s kind of the [unenforced] law in most places.
