You have to be careful with those little Aukey auto power port (cigarette lighter) plugs. The two ports are not stacked one on top of the other, but reversed. If you pull the plug out of one, you have to turn it around to plug it into the other. If you try to shove the USB cord in the other way, it will blow a fuse. I…

Therapist: 0.38%. I’ll take it! The machines can’t empathize *yet*. I’ll most likely have to develop a focus on working with people who have lost their jobs to robots...

HOA not required. Lots of towns have strict lawn policies. There’s concern about snakes, mosquitoes and other pests. In a lot of places if you let it go too long, the city will mow it and then send you a bill. And it’s a lot more than any landscaping company would charge.

Every place where I have lived, if you don’t cut your lawn, the local government will do if for you. They will fine you, charge you for it at marked up rates, and will add it to your property tax bill if you don’t pay it.

No, that’s not true. The future (if this passes) is going to be an odd hybrid of the ACA and pre-ACA days. The Trumpcare bill is not a straightforward repeal.

This.

been emptying chilled bottles into a double walled stainless steel wine bottle for the beach. Works like a charm.

Okay, you’ve sold me on canned wine for my go to BBQ wine, but this article said go to BBQ drink. Why should I go for a can of wine over a can of beer when I’m eating my ribs and potato salad?

But being a vampire isn’t just about eternal life. It’s about never being outside in the day time again, never eating another piece of garlic bread, and never knowing if you’re having a bad hair day because mirrors don’t work anymore.

I find my steak is best at the highest possible heat for the shortest possible time. Seared well on the outside and rare in the inside. A medium heat grill doesn’t do the trick with a well seasoned steak.

Good to know. Like I said, something I heard but didn’t have the wherewithal to confirm or debunk. Also, follow up question for Beth: I’m assuming you’re buying eggs from somewhere other than a grocery store, because aren’t their eggs already pasteurized? Or are you just being extra super careful?

This is incorrect. The ovaries of hens can be infected with salmonella, which can then transfer the bacteria to the eggs before the shell forms.

Yeah, that’s in the states mainly because of surfers and dude-bros. Modelo tends to be more expensive than Corona in Mexico and so darker folks drink the cheaper beer is the implication.

That’s what I thought! I view Corona as being ‘whiter’ than Modelo, since Corona is basically yellow water that goes well with lime.

Fellow Gen-Xers: The lead in Black Lightning looked familiar to me. When I perused IMDB, I found out he was D’Shawn Hardell from Beverly Hills 90210.

Well, one problem with that is for a lot of red state/area culturally aggrieved voters $31,200 is actually a lot. “What?! I kill myself for $28,000 a year roofing, some guy flipping burgers is making more than me?”

Is there supposed to be an article here? All I see is a blank couple of lines.

Never received the $2 one you posted a couple of months ago. Now that I’ve finally got a refund, I’ll give this one a shot instead.
