I don’t understand the need to have a “main dish” at all on Thanksgiving. I would be perfectly content just eating stuffing and various casseroles etc. with no “protein” beyond what is in the sides (not a vegetarian so not opposed to e.g. sausage stuffing).

I like the day after Easter as a nice break during the “holiday drought”. It’s usually right around the President’s Day to Memorial Day midpoint. I also sometimes see my extended family for Easter like I would for Christmas, in which case a day to decompress after a long day of traveling and socializing is perfect.

“There is no solid research connecting these recommendations with adrenal health, but eating veggies and protein are good for us anyway. If TikTok tells you to eat more kale, you may not need to, but it won’t necessarily hurt.”

Yeah, I feel like the flip side of housing being a way you can save a lot of money with one decision is that it also has an outsized impact on your quality of life. Even without any additional monetary costs added (let’s say you commuted by public transit either way and gas wasn’t a factor), a longer commute is one of…

It’s not like a single piece of cardstock is taking up enough space to be concerned about. There’s also tons of people in the comments talking about circumstances that came up where they still needed it. Why would I throw it out?

I liked that Hungryroot includes a lot of ingredients that are already prepped/chopped. A lot of the traditional meal prep boxes like Hello Fresh I found had way more chopping and were generally more work than the typical meals I would make myself on a busy weeknight. I also don’t mind the idea of fully heat-and-serve…

“And while this probably does make sense for the occasional emergency, the reality is that earned wage access apps can be just as dangerous as payday loans.”

I’ve heard the old-fashioned NoseFrida works better than the electric? My husband really wanted to register for the electric because it seems better than sucking out snot with your mouth (even with the filter), but I insisted on the manual based on what I had heard about relative effectiveness.

I think they’re using sex as a proxy for relative arm thickness by weight. Generally speaking, the average male is taller than the average female, so a 200lb male likely doesn’t have as much arm fat as a 200lb female.

I mean I would try this just because I really like the taste of butternut squash, but I don’t understand how this would taste remotely “cheesy”. And I’m down with vegan cheese subs, but you need something like nuts or nutritional yeast to give it a cheesy flavor IMO. A sauce that’s 90% butternut squash is just...going…

What drives me crazy is how relatively dangerous this drug is as far as OTC meds go. High blood pressure is a super common problem in the American public, so with a decongestant that raises blood pressure you’re going to run into people who really shouldn’t be taking it pretty frequently. Of course people could read…

You aren’t supposed to use those sprays for more than 3 days due to rebound congestion. They’re great for a cold where you will be starting to feel better by then anyway, but a really poor choice for allergies for that reason.

These ideas are fun, but it’s also perfectly fine for the theme of your child’s birthday party to just be...birthday. You could also probably get stuff like themed garlands or napkins even cheaper just going in person somewhere like Dollar Tree, although the theme options may be more limited that way.

Am I the only pregnant person who wasn’t crazy about mine? I feel like my arm ended up falling asleep a lot when I used mine. Also maybe it was too thick because keeping the bottom part between my knees didn’t feel right either.

The only annoying thing about TSA pre-check is the initial time investment in having to go to the interview for it. I didn’t care at all about spending the money, but I initially hesitated to do it just because going to be interviewed was so annoying. In my city the interview slots at the convenient location (not the…

Surprised the mozzarepa people at street fairs haven’t started doing a dessert version yet. The arepa part of those always leaned sweet anyway.

Am I the only one who finds the normal Reddit app perfectly fine? Yes there is the occasional sponsored post, but no more than any other social media site. If anything they are far less frequent intrusive than something like Instagram. I don’t begrudge them for this - that’s how they make their money and I get a free…

I know there is also likely to be approval soon for this to be given to pregnant women so that they can have some immunity starting from birth. What I haven’t heard yet though is what the side effect profile is? Not talking about serious side effects, mainly concerned about fever. I know the Covid shot had a much…

The mildew smell often requires special care to get out. Nothing crazy but I recently did a vinegar wash before the detergent wash because my towels were smelling off even being freshly cleaned. You’ll likely need to do this occasionally anyway, but if you don’t want to have to run the washer twice every time you wash…

Also while food waste is never good if you have to throw out a couple, they’re one of the cheapest foods. And there’s no animal products involved so I feel a lot less guilty than I would throwing out dairy or meat.
