Oh fuck off.

You don’t want to be opening the fridge or freezer, ever, if you don’t absolutely have to. It’s amazing how insulating they are*, and how quickly it’s lost once you open a door.

I can see it for folks with very little kitchen space (thinking NYC apartment) or living somewhere out in BFE where you might be out for a day or a week or two without a close shop to restock. Or if you’re silly enough to have an electric stove, that would nix things like pasta and such.

Seriously, why do people like electric stoves?! We lost power for two and a half days last week, and didn’t have to worry a second about eating a hot meal. Which was great because the house got down into the 40s...

I still fail to see why you would drop money on that when you can get Indian food in pouches 2 for $3 (and made with recognizable ingredients). If I was going on a week plus backcountry trip, maybe I’d grab a few MH for variety sake.

Dunno if I needed to learn that, but I did, so thank you.

Still do the fake newspaper thing, huh? This WAS ten years or more ago, right?

But if I’m camping or something, who cares, it’ll stay out as long as I am.

Restaurants go through it wicked quick and (ostensibly)clean or get new bottles rotated in frequently.

Probably the same bastards who put cheddar in pierogi. And if you think that’s fine, you’re a damn hypocrite.

I’m NOT Canadian and it’s near the top of my list for at home sport watching (yay, being in range of Canada TV!) and drinking. Especially​ international competitions, where you get to learn how to tell SWEEP in multiple languages. Get some Labatt tall boys and that’s a damn good Saturday afternoon hanging out with…

Just buy Ex Officio. I’m not a brand person generally, and am also a lady, but they last effing forever. I bought a bunch and 3 camisoles like 7 years ago or so at an REI sale and other than the lace trim falling apart a bit on the camisoles - which I wear all the time - they just *won’t die.* Which would be a bad…

Look into non profit workers that try to start a union and get back to me. This isn’t surprising either and is worth reporting on, but if you want straight up cynical behavior that’s a fantastic place to start.

Yeah, hygeine wise that makes sense enough to me as a concept. Whether the execution is over the top, especially for costs and such, I have no clue. But I needed to be certified to work in a bakery and that was just handing over cooked items and such. Someone who is dealing with lots of heads and chemicals, yeah, at…

Let the bears pay the bear tax. I pay the Homer tax.

I get one like every other damn month (bladder surgery as a kid apparently left me succepible. I didn’t realise that was weird until I got to college and a NP thought I was kidding).

High five across Lake Michigan, yo.

I take it you’ve never worked one of those jobs. Even if you don’t have a family, it’s really effing difficult to plan your life when you can’t even plan your week.

Well said.
