Doing what your girlfriend says is a good lifehack, Patrick.

Eating whole foods is always the healthier option, but also brown rice tastes better, so for me it isn’t even a choice



Can we do sandwiches with crust Vs crusts cut-off next?

This is a great technique to have

I save all my IP liquids - use them to make soups, rice, gravies

If you do have the patience to reduce, I have found the cast iron pan best.
But Claire is dead right on the saltiness - if you’ve been liberal with das Salz, it will all show up in your reduction

Old movie where an inveterate boozer stays warm using Deep Heat (Ben-Gay)

What happened to your cigar commercial?

Cos you already put your woolly hat on before bed

And you’re under a bunch of covers, tight AF

Even if you feel like a pig has shat in your head?

Wear a hat, a woolly one - while watching TV and even in bed

Leave your heating off overnight, or set it to 50

It is great being your own boss and not having someone with a veto over your decisions
I love having friends in the same position - who are free to do stuff, and aren’t complaining about a spouse or stressed about kid stuff

I’m happy it worked out for you

Great post, Claire

This passage in particular really perfectly articulated the other, possibly better, possibilities for women
Men aren’t often the right answer

Amen, brother

I use Hangouts for all my SMS texting - and I love it, but only US people use it
Internationally people (that I know) don’t want to use it - they all use Whatsapp
It would be a case of asking each individual person I know in Europe to install a new app

But also, when you have to send someone a once off - like I had to…

lately have been thinking of ditching WhatsFace. This might just be the thing that tips me over.

Sorry to ask a very basic question here – but is this Whatsapp Client distinct or the same thing as my WhatsApp web tab on my Chrome browser?

I am not a smart man

Really thoughtful response, thank you

Clarity, for the most part

Thanks, Frank

I really appreciate this response

Thanks, man
I should have read more closely

Do you use a NAS or similar?

I was considering the Nest, but to get any real functionality out of them, it seems that you need to pay a subscription on top of the purchase price

Does anyone here have an outdoor system they’re happy with, that doesn’t have a subscription service like Google’s or Prime??
I’d rather pay once and be done.

Just to be clear here, TVs are not appliances

They are electronics

Also, doggo daycare places have to buy a macerator to chop up all the poop fine, cos they can’t flush it
