Cherry cordials are one of those things where there’s massive variation and I never seem to know when I’m going to get a good one or a bad one. I’m now at the age where I appreciate the good ones enough to take a gamble on getting one of the weak ones, but as a kid I’m sure I thought the opposite.

You could add “sleep more” to the accidents slide too. There’s a pretty consistent finding that ~20% of car crashes involve sleep-deprived people. (Shows up in a BMC article by Gottlieb, Ellenbogen, Bianchi, and Czeisler, and elsewhere.) Sure, that means 80% is other causes including just bad luck, but being well…

It’s still on the menu, but I’ve moved out of Roy Rogers’ territory, and every now and then I really miss a Double R Bar burger. You know what a fast-food burger really needs? A slice of ham on top. And maybe some BBQ sauce from the Fixin’s Bar.

If beauty is the goal, step away from the pressure cooker. That high-temperature, high-pressure boil emulsifies fats and breaks up meat and veggies. Use your crock pot for a low-and-slow approach, if you want that clear soup-like look.

I’m not entirely sure I’m ever going to bother with Spaces, but here’s what Google has to say about the specific differences between them and a group chat:

Spot on, regarding “I don’t have time”. It’s actually a very polite and powerful way to say “I thought about it, and I really don’t want to.” Or even “I do want to, but not if it means burning myself out.”

(The writer’s not _wrong_ that sometimes it means “I can’t control my schedule,” and you should really fix that…

If you’re really trying to start from scratch and only set up fresh installs of the things you actually use, you don’t want your backup bringing anything old and problematic over. I don’t know how big a risk that is really on iOS... back in the day doing PC maintenance I did run into some cases of “nuke it from orbit;…

You figure that’s why the vaccine group also has more herpes than the non-vaccinated? At closing time, “hey, baby, you had your shot yet?” ain’t a terrible line, but there are consequences.

This right here. It’s interesting to look at the comments on the FB feed for my local small rural newspaper. Middle-class folks screaming “back the blue” while working-class folks say “the cops are hassling that guy just like they hassled his daddy and granddaddy.” But like they said, you can get a poor white to do…

Though a fair amount of people actually are of lower than average intelligence.

I may be a Mayo-American, but even I know that when a Black woman breaks out “little sir man”, you’re already dead, you just ain’t hit the floor yet.

This can be especially problematic if your dog is off-leash...

CDC, not Census, right? I mean... the Census was over way before the vaccine was available.

Made somewhat more complicated by the fact that the CDC _is_ doing regular health checkins, including prompts by text message, through their “vsafe” system. But... they told me about it at the vaccination clinic, I had to register to get it started, and I _never_ had to provide any financial information (and wasn’t…

A friend got a whole bunch of this reaction to his vaccine selfie. Questions about how he got in line relatively early; frustration expressed about the trouble people were having getting appointments for the shot. We did get some good discussion about the pros and cons of allowing every county health department to…

Shortly after discovering that you can put thawed tater tots in your waffle iron, I tried making a sandwich of a split, griddled Krispy Kreme and a totwaffle. And finding that a little sweet, then I made a sandwich which used the totwaffle for the outside and a partial donut for the inside.

I think I actually heard my…

The Old Man (Darren McGavin) from A Christmas Story.

Everything doesn’t have to be a legal solution - if I could report the attempt to the website, they could block the IP address. They could look at other logins from the same IP address and notify compromised users. Sure, it’s still just an inconvenience to the hacker, but it would be a start.

Very much this! It’s not clear how much difference this revolving balance makes.. one point on my credit score, 5, 10? (The “data says” it matters... but you can’t see the data... my girlfriend has it, in Canada...) And then it’s not clear how much that point is actually worth... a tenth of a point on a car loan? A…

“No, Mister McGee, I’m not “too lazy” to rake leaves. I’m protecting firefly habitat. For the children. Actually, it makes me wonder why you hate children so much, that you have to get your leaf blower going every Saturday morning.”
