I mean my house has more comfortable chairs and I can eat whatever food and drink whatever drinks I want without being subject to either limits on what you can bring on a plane or crazy airport prices. I personally don’t mind arriving early either, but I can totally see why people don’t want to. Especially if they’re…

Even if someone initially didn’t breastfeed solely because they didn’t want to and not due to any issues with supply, latching, etc. (meaning they could have breastfed at first if they had chosen to). Generally speaking once you’ve let your supply dry up, it’s not straightforward to just change your mind and go back…

The mathematical theory is based on a problem where you can’t go back to the first option once you’ve rejected it (the “marriage problem”). Isn’t this difference from shopping for a car or something, where presumably at least some of the time you can go back to the dealership or back to the first webpage you looked at?

I also don’t understand how ordering only apps and drinks is worse than everyone at the table ordering the cheapest entree and tap water, which I don’t think anyone would say is an improper use of a busy restaurant table. In many cases the latter may cost less money, and gives the restaurant a worse profit margin.

I don’t have a problem with saying that alcohol is not bad enough for you to worry about if you consume in moderation, in the same vein as the occasional donut. That’s different from it being actively healthy, though, like some have claimed. The latter would mean that it would be a good thing to do even if you…

I mean you don’t need the right amount of “load” to come from a job necessarily, but I don’t think it’s crazy to think that it’s not good for mental or physical health to just chill all day. The “positive stress” could just as easily come from a hobby or taking care of your family or something as a job, though.

Why is tax rate any more or less a consideration for a freelancer than any other worker? People who work a regular job as an employee for a single company also pay income tax.

I mean I can see the guests thinking the cameras are basically favors. Not like a small token from the wedding is an unheard of thing. That one seems like a misunderstanding more than anything else.

The article also seems to if anything make an argument against reservations in certain circumstances, if it’s considered bad etiquette to make one and then only order drinks and apps. Which seems silly to me (no one would say it’s bad etiquette to make a reservation just to order the cheapest entree and no alcohol,…

Also, I’ve never heard of the idea of reservations being “old-fashioned” from the customer side. If anything the more common situation I’ve found is where I want to make a reservation, but the restaurant isn’t doing them. Which I can understand if they for whatever reason aren’t signed up for services that require a…

For a true apocalpyse situation it’s not going to be practical for most people to keep months’ worth of bottled water on hand. So the assumption is you’ll figure something else out (like rainwater collection) in the longer term.

You mention that this could also be useful in a non-apocalypse situation like post-hurricane, but wouldn’t the items you want to buy for that situation be different? The assumption for an apocalypse situation would be that you’ll hopefully eventually figure out a way to cook food and get water not out of a bottle,…

While that recipe admittedly doesn’t sound great, how are you going to give a negative review to a recipe you didn’t actually follow? The whole idea of using ultra-thin slices is that they would crisp up better due to higher ratio of surface area to volume.

Some of these viral recipes are based on trying to avoid certain ingredients for dietary reasons (flour and other carbs for keto, for example, or swapping dates to avoid refined sugar). In those cases I think the issue is sometimes more with the claims than the recipes themselves. For example, “cloud bread” may be a…

That said while I don’t support their anti-unionization efforts, Amazon’s parental leave benefits are actually pretty generous by American standards. So it’s not like the choice is either abortion or having no paid leave if you decide to go through with the pregnancy.

I think it’s a combination of that and a relatively cheap way to get good publicity. Paying for a few Greyhound tickets or even flights is still way cheaper than offering higher wages and benefits across the board. Not like the whole workforce is going to be going to get an abortion every weekend.

I think the issue people have is when they are salaried and have enough work to do that they’re just going to have to rush or even stay late to make up that hour. But yeah for an hourly employee a pizza party where they still get paid their hourly wage during it isn’t bad.

A frittata or tortilla cut into bite size pieces would also work well here I think, if mom is a savory breakfast kind of person. Also I just love them and kind of want to make one for myself even though my only child currently is of the feline variety.

Isn’t gate checking only for when the overhead bins are full? I personally don’t mind it when it comes up, but it’s not something you can count on. I’d put checking a bag up there with splurging for an Economy+ upgrade in things that still cost way less than business class, and will make the experience more pleasant.

I really thought these were going to be mostly more toward the $1000 end than the $100 end. Especially for popular teams like the Red Sox.
