I’m confused by the advice to treat a cloth mask as contaminated. If the point of the mask is to protect OTHERS, not myself, then it would not be any more contaminated with respiratory droplets than, say, my shirt, right? If I’m wearing a mask to protect MYSELF then I should have an N95 and would need to treat it as…

I used to work in quality control for a dairy.

I know yeast can die but for some reason it has never happened to me. My jar of Red Star active dry yeast has a “best by” date of March 2018 and was definitely not used up by 4 months after opening as it says to. More likely 4 years. I keep it refrigerated and it proofs just fine. I’ve used it twice in the last month,…

This is a good idea, and here is why.

Heavily vegetable-topped pizzas can have a lot of water on top if they are prepared incorrectly; and cutting said pizza will lead to a box so soggy that the pizza falls through it onto my shoes which WERE flyknit Nikes and now I have hot pizza water BURNING MY FEET and that’s how…

uh....so much week night drinking

I’m going to have to do SOMETHING with the half-dozen eggs my roommate left when she went back to her parents’ for good.

Thank you for this article. I was starting think I need to discovery gravity or something. I will just do what I need to do. I actually still do have a lot on my plate.

Should we also do away with the soy sauce packets you get with Chinese takeout?  Or the salsa packets at Taco Bell?  It seems like these are all the same question.

Back in the Day (tm), there was this movie called Honey, I Shrunk The Kids. My one dream as a child was to eat giant food because that huge cookie they found dropped in their back yard looked AMAZING. Entire giant HANDFULS of cookie and frosting cream. Put it in my face. I want a chocolate sundae the size of my house.

The chocolate cake from the movie of Roald Dahl’s ‘Mathilda’.

Do we think anyone is going to use this as a truck? I for one am skeptical

Because most people here whine about literally anything, but especially any crossover.

I use my horn to notify the guy at the front of the left turn lane that he’s been looking at his cell phone for the last 5 seconds of our 10 second turn window. Completely justified in my opinion.

Car horns are wonderful devices to get unobservant nincompoops moving after they dillydally at a green light. 

Is plastic ending up in landfills such a bad thing? We aren’t close to running out of landfill space. Modern landfills are pretty good at preventing trash from escaping or being burned (though shipping waste to less modern landfills is still a problem). It’s true that plastic takes a long time to break down, but it…

My parents were idiots when it came to retirement planning and saving for the future. Instead they believed that “God will provide”. I guess I’m God since I’m the one taking care of them and paying all their bills. 

I’m my own mechanic, but I overcharge myself anyway, because I’m a jerk.
