If you're using reusable containers it is handy to have a marker and roll of painters/masking tape nearby so you can label. It is very helpful when cooking as well since you may not be able to tell one item from another at a quick glance when gathering things for dinner.

Have you ever tried abalone? It is similar in texture.

Good technique/rec. I've always found the grit trick with the clams to not really do anything since they close up in the fresh water. Supposedly, according to the fish monger, the people mistake the noticeable absence of grit with the success of the technique. It doesn't hurt anything, so there is no real downside to…

It does give us an excuse to appease the Italians though by going out into the open ocean to harvest our salt water.

That would be an option too, though that would probably knock the price-range out of the acceptable risk category for anyone beyond core. They would probably also end up with the same issue that the Ouya has, where mainstream (and even many indie) devs won't spend the resources on developing/porting to their platform.…

I do question if the OR will flourish at all though since it would require developer support (which takes from game budgets or the O VR people would need to fund it) and brings nothing to the table that would benefit the game publishers/studios. If they tried to charge extra for the support, the users would probably…

Zombies don't put the coffee pot back empty.

I'm not even joking, they lured a bunch of bars in when the center opened, but then started hammering them with fines for loud music, dancing, and having intoxicated patrons. This was on top of the premium rents they were paying.

In So Cal they put them in the middle of the deserts, usually on the way to/from vacation spots and tribal casinos.

So far it has only really documented the standard malls. I though outlets may be on the block next since the internet it still cheaper than staff/real-estate for the shithole locations they put them in.

If not you will at least have diabetes, so that is something.

You would think slate would have picked up on the important culinary contribution of Cincinnati chili that was well documented here.

The only way I ever was able to handle those was simply getting call rejection on my phone, even though they spoof numbers, by using the blocking it slows their callback rate dramatically.

The weird thing with the carpet cleaners is they usually call right after I clean my carpets. Once while I was in the middle of it. Same with the chimney sweeps/air duct cleaners.

I always thought the item people would forgo would not be the ring but the (presumably more expensive) lavish ceremony and reception. A coworker did that, opting for a small outdoor ceremony followed by a bowling reception and cupcakes.

They can be funneled further to a point where they may actually donate. But, donating to a group that gives nothing to research is the same as not donating at all, which likely would be the scenario for these donors. They saw the shirt and bought it on a whim and felt good about it, opening them up to future donations.

They do deserve a share of the blame for allowing "awareness groups" to flourish. They also (this isn't just for disease but for pretty much everything) are less willing to give with no strings attached, they want something in return. When people wear the ribbons, pins, bracelets, walk a 5k, or whatever, they are…

But do they actually give a shit? If anyone really cared about the various groups, they would give directly to labs rather than some third party in return for merch.

That has always been the issue, I blame PBS. When the local affiliate stopped having the bags as part of the donation drives (opting for more useful items), people lost their shit because they could no longer visibly boast their willingness to throw money at things.

Considering the highest profile charities, the ones where the average citizens have actually heard of them, go for "awareness" over anything else. I would say ditching those would probably start a sharp drop in donations. The bulk of it is most likely that research funds simply can't/won't up their game.
