Thanks for this. A friend of mine lost a significant amount of weight due to some severe medical issues, and her response to “what’s your secret?” questions is always a cheery “go into kidney failure!” The crestfallen looks were always quite amusing.

No, it’s definitely a Sunday teatime cozy family show.

I’m fully vaccinated and had my first indoor dining experience recently. Even though the restaurant was at 25% normal capacity and we were distanced, staff were masked, etc. it was... pretty hard not to freak out a little. Not so hard that I completely bugged out, but it will definitely take some adjustment. (Can’t we

Man this brought back some memories.

Yes, this! I especially love the murder/true crime podcasts that make complete mockeries of the criminals - like Wine & Crime. Bring the monsters down with comedy and all that (or whatever Mel Brooks said).

Right, and a regular schvitz has been shown to improve cardiovascular health & hemodynamic function (even in people with heart failure!) and has been pretty extensively studied...

The house I bought came with a steam sauna and I could never, ever, ever give it up. If I ever move, the first thing I’ll do is drop the 4K to install one. It’s the best goddamn thing ever.

I think even moreso they love power and are scared of their riotous constituents. Make this a secret vote and it’ll be a landslide conviction.

Exactly. I don’t have unfettered access to every possible world cuisine and music and culture, but hey - we’ve got a great pho place, a Black arts cultural center, big Asian market, art school, museums, curbside recycling, an international airport, and a dozen breweries within walking distance of each other. I can go

I’ve lived lots of places, and grew up in a tiny town of 900 people.

Yeah. This is SUPER SHITTY of her to seemingly cut the line, etc. and then brag about it, but in the end - everybody needs to be vaccinated. If you get a chance to get one, don’t hesitate. I mean, also don’t elbow an old lady out of the way for it, but seriously - getting the vaccine not only protects yourself, but it

Right? The celery is what makes it a “salad”!

chicken salad yes

Came here for the celery, this recipe does not disappoint

Same for my GSD - minimum of an hour physical exercise every day and “going out into the backyard” doesn’t count. And in the winter with dwindling daylight, I’ve purchased an LED collar, headlamp, Yaktrax, paw balm, etc. Otherwise looking at home repairs via anxious/bored behavior. Likimat and Kong toys are great too

What he really deserves is a long life of miserable obscurity. He deserves to watch his own significance slip away.

This mindset is so insidious - “be grateful we bestow employment upon you” and the weird sense of loyalty to a singular company (is this regional? This ‘anti job-hopper’ thing is a fairly common mindset in the midwest).

Agreed, thirded. BUT I stay for the commentariat. You guys are awesome. 

HUMAN NECK

It has been TRULY AMAZING what scientists have done this year. Nearly unbelievable - and definitely unthinkable in the past. I’m just grateful all the SARS and MERS research was able to be piggybacked on. Next pandemic we might not be so lucky.
