If your dog can pee and poop wherever it wants to outside and smokers can throw their butts all over, I can sure spit on the grass or the street or generally out people’s way if I need to. Do I like having to spit? No, but I do have very bad allergies and am congested 24/7. A lot of that mucus winds up in my throat

The article is about being spat on. I would love to see the stats on disease transmission through...what would the term be...”ground spit”?

I was going to bring up the Illini because I thought that was just a way to describe people from Illinois (like Oklahomans or Californians) but apparently it refers to Native Americans (but not a specific tribe.) I’m glad I looked it up before I replied.

I know you joke, but having worked with a bible thumping flat earther and having hour long arguments over idiotic stuff like that, and having to debunk one idiotic youtube video after another, it’s not quite so funny.

RTFM people. That info is right on the box!

Back in my olde century, we used parchment for Proclamations of the King, not baking sticky food!

There are two types of people in this world: people who read the words printed on their parchment paper box and people who don’t. I’m in the latter category and I’ll never look back. 

Exactly. I’m not sure what they thought was going to happen.

Penzey’s offers $50 gift cards for $35 during the holidays. Watch for it - they’ve done it twice so far and I expect they’ll do it again.

Rule of Thumb:

Winter air is cold. Cold air holds less moisture than the warm air inside the air. When you heat up the cold air from outside, the relative humidity drops.

Every single car does this automatically. It’s how defroster settings work.
