The only time I would eat only the top half of a bagel at once is if I were trying to cut carbs/calories or not that hungry, and thus planned to discard the bottom half.

Wait, there are people who eat the top half of their bagel and then the bottom half? I thought the sandwich method was the default. I mean I eat half at a time, but cut the other way. The bagel shop also always cuts it in a way that allows for eating half of the “sandwich” at a time.

I do agree with this advice for older kids. I could see someone being upset later on about something cringe they said when they were 12 being on the Internet forever. But yeah, I don’t really see the harm here for a 4-year-old. Maybe still best avoided just bc it’s a bit cringe-y for the adult here. But I don’t see it…

I know this is a bit tougher with COVID (and the selection is not as good as it is normally in many places), but surprised the article doesn’t mention buying used at all. Granted it’s a bit early in the year to be buying used due to high demand from other resolutioners. But in general lots of people buy cardio…

“Susan thinks her little sister Jackie has the best giggle! She can’t wait for Jackie to get older so they can do all sorts of things like play forest fairies and be explorers together. But as Jackie grows, she doesn’t want to play those games. She wants to play with mud and be a super bug! Jackie also doesn’t like…

My boyfriend’s parents got these for me and I love them so much. Unfortunately they are not available for online purchase, but definitely check out the slipper section if you’re ever in-person at Walmart.

I feel like the reverse situation happens way more often (getting a more specific gift card for something you don’t really want, or to someplace you aren’t crazy about). Whereas an Amazon gift card is basically like cash at this point. For that situation, Cardpool works great.

I’m super lazy in the kitchen and pay for convenience all the time, but even I don’t see the appeal of these. The annoying part of making cocktails myself to me is either cleanup, or steps like squeezing fresh citrus for a sour or margarita. If I were going to basically just use a premade mix (which is what this…

“If you feel thirsty you’re already dehydrated for one.”

If you’re trying to cut calories I think this kind of product has its place as part of a balanced diet (where you are still getting sufficient fats in from other sources).

There’s usually something like 2g max added sugar in these powders. I wouldn’t really call that “a lot”. If you’re trying to cut calories I think this kind of product has its place as part of a balanced diet (where you are still getting sufficient fats in from other sources).

I mean I really love a big breakfast normally, but am I the only one who likes to keep it lighter on Christmas Day? Breakfast lasagna seems like a lot if you’re presumably going to be having something else rich (like dinner lasagna) for the main Christmas meal. I wouldn’t mind doing a Christmas brunch and then a…

Are these like a butternut squash where you can par-cook first to make them easier to peel and chop?

So I will say I also find it gross. But I know objectively the chance of it actually spreading disease (even during a pandemic) is pretty much zero, assuming there are no people around and the spit is all going onto the ground and not being blown into someone’s face.

That’s also assuming the majority of people can get it. The big thing is for the vaccine to be approved for children, as right now that’s a huge percent of the population who can’t get it. Supply may also still be an issue for awhile.

The effectiveness of masks that are not N95 or variants thereof is much more on the outward than inward direction. In other words, they are much more effective at preventing you from spreading to others vs. keeping you from getting sick. The effectiveness comes in if everyone wears them. If you were properly wearing a…

The big issue I see here in terms of logistics is that this requires “a COVID Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) test taken up to 72 hours before departure.” Here in NYC the availability of tests is quite good, but it can still take about that long just to get your results back for a non-rapid test.

I mean, jobs that are outside of 9-5 hours often do pay more? My dad works at a hospital and they get extra pay for night/weekend shifts.

I mean sure technically they are supposed to to report it. But for a date night babysitter situation (not a nanny), where the babysitter only does it a few hours a week for extra income while they go to school, I can’t imagine how many do. And I honestly don’t think it’s that big a deal ethically speaking given the…

I mean, the price differential kind of makes sense when you consider the caregiver-child ratio difference. Now, unless your kids are really young, it’s not like they actually need the 1-to-1 or 1-to-2 ratio you get from a babysitter. In fact, for a school-age child having other kids to play with would be a bonus. But…
