Reply to You're making pasta. Pasta in a pot, sauce in a saucepan. But some of the sauce is stuck in the jar. Worry not: Halfway through cooking, put some of the pasta water into the jar, shake, and transfer into the saucepan. The starches in the water will thicken the sauce and bond to the pasta. Delicious. by twovests
This is a good tip; I knew about the pasta water helping the sauce stick to the pasta, but I never thought to use it to clean out the jar. I'll definitely be trying this next time!

Reply to comment by flabberghaster in Iron crosses on aluminum-backed stickers invading your neighborhood? It's quicker to cover up an unwanted sticker than it is to debond it from a traffic sign. Carry duct tape with you to cover them up by twovests
Oh lawn signs with razors are 100% a thing, I've had MAGA neighbors do the same thing. I'm surprised we've only had a few shootings this year over lawn signs.

It does have a very "check your kids' candy to make sure no one put razors or fentanyl in it" vibe to me. A very scary thing everyone is told to look for but no one has actually seen.
That said I have seen news reports about lawn signs with razors

Conspiratorial take: This myth is artificially propagated to make leftists fear the direct action of removing a sticker

I haven't seen it in person either, just something I've heard from other leftists.

In my experience I've never seen this but trying to scrape off metal backed stickers can do the same anyways

Some nazis have also been known to booby trap their stickers with razor blades, to cut the fingers of anyone who tries to remove them. Covering them with tape or your own stickers is better for more than one reason.

Reply to [REQUEST} how do i take off the second kitchen glvoe with out having to touch the gross wet outer shell with my nice dry other hand by I_got_killed_one_time
properly removing wet kitchen gloves requires an electric hand dryer or another person with a hair dryer
keep your hands in the hot air stream until the water on your gloves has evaporated
take off your gloves like normal

I leave a few of these mailing lists running just so if I need a coupon code to buy something from them I'll have it handy but god, they come every day! And clogs up my emails like crazy so having to go in and delete them feels sisyphean and makes me hate the brand low-key even if it's a store I bought from before and liked
