I’ve probably spent well over a hundred dollars at this point buying various water bottles over the years. I’ve tried plastic, metal, glass, you name it. All the major brands have had their chance.

Keith David voice acting a fictional version of himself.

I’d like to throw Standard Ebooks into the list of recommendations. They usually start with Gutenberg transcriptions as a base, and then further clean up the texts to be better optimized for e-readers. It’s quite a bit of extra work on top of the raw text, and makes for a much more polished reading experience.

Avoid the products attempting to replicate popular brands—they’ll always disappoint, because you’ll know exactly what they’re missing.

But can you make an Instant Pot version? I only have so many hours in the day to make a healthy, vomit-inducing meal for my family.

I have to wonder if it simply means that five people bought oat milk last week, instead of the normal 1.3.

I’m totally gonna make this, but I’m also lazy, and the idea of sauteing the onions and celery in a separate pan and adding them near the end sounds like too much work. I wonder what the trade-offs would be if I turned this into a one-pot enameled dutch oven recipe and sweat the onions and celery during the initial

When I was a poor college student and recently-employed college grad, I stretched the Costco rotisserie chicken into several meals via a jar of tikka masala simmer sauce. All the “good” cuts of the chicken I ate directly; when I had eaten everything that could be devoured by itself, I then stripped the less-good meat

This recipe from SeriousEats for a pressure cooker beef stew basically does both: a batch vegetables thrown in during the stewing process to draw out all of their flavor that is then discarded, and a second batch thrown in towards the end so that you get some carrots and mushrooms that still have a little resistance

Olive oil goes rancid, man! I’m all for stocking up, but what good is a gallon of olive oil in reserve in your pantry if it’s bad?

Trying to hit the router’s IP directly usually worked for me when my Chromebook refused to load the login page on the Starbucks wifi. So, I would add

On the other hand, if you sprinkle the sugar (Turbinado / sugar in the raw works best for this) on top of the whipped milk and happen to have a culinary torch on hand, you can then brulee it.

Pennies on the dollar can add up. I received this from Amazon back in June, and it made me feel pretty good.

The cover photo shows two phones plugged into wall warts plugged directly into an outlet. I don’t think you would need USB condoms for those—you’re only getting power from the wall if you supply your own adapter. It would only be if you attempted to use the direct USB ports that the “condom” would be necessary, since

I have worked for companies where tipping beyond 10% was actually forbidden when using a company credit card, so if the guy is feeling guilty about it, he might discretely mention over the phone that the staff would be more charitably paid if he were charged automatic gratuity for the order.

No chance on giving Linux Mint/Ubuntu/Fedora a try to see if it revives the creeky old computer, huh?

So, you know how we all like to dump on Youtube for its tendency to “radicalize” the population by sneaking outlandish alt-right conspiracy videos into people’s otherwise innocuous recommendation feed of cat vids?

How well does this method work for brussel sprouts? The conventional wisdom is that you place them cut-side down, directly on the baking sheet, to maximize exposure and promote browning.

And if anyone suggests a phrase originating from Catullus, don’t use it.
