NOOOOOOO!!!!! It’s your last opportunity to go through a Mother’s Day without children!!!!!!!

84 gallons......... OK seriously that is basically nothing. They even say it didn’t get to a waterway and was quickly contained. It is possible 0 oil even touched the ground if they were able to get the leaking oil funneled in to barrels or other containers (that’s a barrel and a half).

So it leaked about 2.8 gallons per day, or .12 Gallons per hour, or about 14 oz per hour, or .23 oz per minute, or about 1-2 drops per second. Need to tighten up a screw or two I suppose.

The US/Canadian economy still runs on oil, and pipelines are by far the safest method of transportation despite the issues. Pipelines can be made even safer by increasing inspection, monitoring, and by increasing the quality of materials.

That is less trash then those idiot protesters left behind that cost millions to clean up.

You’re freaking out about an average of 3 gallons a day? Jesus christ, the nearest gas station is worse than that.

This post has the twin hallmarks of GMG writing: bad grammar and lack of context. A pipeline designed to carry hundreds of thousands of gallons of oil per day leaked a total of 84 gallons in an entire month. That’s a spillage rate of 0.006%.

84 gallons? Wow! We better get all those millions of gallons of oil back on thousands of trucks and on those highways, because it’s better for the environment or something.

I’m an older millennial, and I did learn to cook at an early age, but I still don’t bother with meal planning, couponing, and daily cooking at home. I have no kids, a tiny kitchen, and a fairly high stress job with long hours. It’s not that I don’t know how, it’s that I’d rather save my energy for other things (trying…

I know my Plated box is more expensive than grocery store ingredients, but... of course it is. I’m paying for a service. Someone else finds some recipes I get to pick from, then they send me all the stuff to make them. I don’t end up with lots of food waste that comes from being pretty bad at meal planning for two…

This. Also, if possible, can you live with family? Depending on the school living expenses can be more than tuition. It sucks living with Grandma or Auntie or Mom for 4 years, but does it suck as much as $60k of debt?

Not to be afraid of debt.

I feel like this thread has united the Lifehacker community like none other.

So.. I picked up a cat toy at a yard sale (because.. like kids clothing, soooo expensive) and both cats when nuts over it. Took me a bit (15 minutes on the sofa with the ipad) to find out it was a Jackson Galaxy catnip kick toy.. I ordered 2 off Amazon, one for each cat.

Certain procedures benefit from prep time and mise en place, others don’t. The trick is knowing when you should prep everything and when you’ll have time in the middle before starting the next step. If you know there’ll be a 20 minute hiatus in the middle of your cook time, allocate that time to do the prep stuff…

Beautiful!! I really love the seal point color on ragdolls and siamese. I also have a cream point. They are so sweet and soft and cuddly.

It depends. If I’m doing a stir fry, yes, I’ll do mise en place. If I’m making a stew I’ll chop the vegetables while the meat is browning. With cooking it helps, in my experience, to use those small chunks of “wait time” as you go.

That’s why I love it when they sprawl out in the open, makes me feel like they feel completely secure and at home.

Yup. That was Josie. Another good memory of a cat that passed away Monday after 18 (mostly) good years.
