I switched to Plated recently, and they also use FedEx. First box looked like somebody had taken a baseball bat to it. This one must have been left in a puddle, because when I tried to lift it, the bottom fell out. Good job, everyone. :P I’ve seen some UPS stuff get left for USPS to deliver, which I’m not a fan of,…

I used Blue Apron for quite some time and liked it a lot, especially their customer service. I just recently switched to Plated, for a few reasons.

Wow, that’s bizarre. Ours was just delivered by FedEx. Which, not ideal, they screwed it up a lot, but it was FedEx.

I always chop up some fresh garlic to throw on a frozen pizza, it really improves things. Sometimes a little can of sliced black olives goes on, too.

It depends. There are some types of plastic that are fine for blades (and hard woods, especially bamboo, can be really hard on blades unless it’s a schmancy end grain board). Personally, I only buy plastic cutting boards (I always forget which kind of plastic you’re supposed to use, but I look it up when I’m buying…

Oh, that’s what I figured, too. That sounds like too much work.

Oh shit, I read The Lies of Locke Lamora a few months ago and loved it. I didn’t realize it was the first of a series!!

When I first heard about removing the 3.5mm jack, I thought it was because they were going to bluetooth headphones only. To which I say, nay. But I didn’t know that they were going towards USB-C headphones, which I would theoretically be fine with in the future. I like my cheap-ish earbuds that I can switch between my…

I’m pretty sure Hufflepuffs read comic books and sneak in laptops to play World of Warcraft in their downtime. In other words, they’re my people. Badgers are cool. Leading a quiet and uneventful life sounds chill.

I adore farro. Quinoa’s nothing special to me, it’s fine, but farro. Cook some farro, chop up and cook some kale with some garlic, mix it together with some feta cheese, lemon juice, olive oil. It’s a delicious side dish by itself, but I had a week where I packed a scoop of it with some raw spinach for bulk, and…

25W?! That seems... really high. Anyway, the heat’s not good for the battery. Personally, I would use the turbo charger as a top-off charge in the middle of the day, but use a regular charger overnight, so as not to heat it up so much/so often. But that’s just me, and I’m no expert.

I grew up mixing my Grape Nuts with yogurt. As far as I’m concerned, that’s the only way a person should ever eat Grape Nuts.

I’m actually pretty sure it has both

Sometimes I’m hit with a rush of sanity and make something on Sunday that I can pack for lunch during the week. On occasion I get really crazy and prepack it into single serving containers. Those are the weeks I eat the healthiest.

If that Black & Decker drill/driver set is anything like the one I bought from Target recently (and from the price, I’m guessing it is), the screwdriver bits are absolute garbage. I bought a set of Dewalt bits to replace them that I haven’t tried yet (so I can’t speak to the screwdriver itself, but it seems solid…

Try Cmder. I use it daily, it’s quite a bit nicer than the native command line. Tabbed windows, ctrl+v pasting, unix commands, lots of other stuff.

Oh yeah. It’ll pass 100 in all likelihood before the summer’s over.

I sure do love Kansas City. I mean, the weather sucks, but I looooove the cost of living. I get my big city amenities, but I just moved out of a huge 3 bedroom apartment for less than $1300/mo, and bought a nice house for about the same monthly payment. I’m in the ‘burbs, but I like it here, and I’m only about 30…

They sell little bags of Black Forest gummy bears in my company’s break rooms (they have little self service kiosks, you can buy soda and snacks, way better than a vending machine), and it’s pretty dangerous.

Yeah, I had one of these earlier today, and after messing with it for a little bit, it resolved itself into an Eevee. I think it’s just the servers getting clobbered. It knew there was supposed to be a pokemon there, but it didn’t know enough to render it, or something.
