Reply to comment by voxpoplar in Reminder for people in the north who have older windows: it’s time to close your storm windows by rain
It’s probably a regional thing, but storm windows (sometimes called a storm sash) are basically lightweight secondary windows installed on the outside of single pane windows. This provides protection for your primary window from hail and storm debris, as well as just generally providing better insulation by turning the whole combination assembly into a sort of a primitive 2 pane window.
Storm windows are normally left open/swapped out for screens during the warm and moderate seasons, and closed for winter (and sometimes the stormy part of spring). During the worst of winter they can make a huge difference in how cold and drafty a room feels, as well as save on overall heating bills.

I love samosas. Can’t get them from my local store - I should learn how to make them from scratch.
Thank you, I have a new mission.

Reply to Assorted Sushi Rolls by Jenheadjen
I would love to try vegan sushi someday, but I sincerely doubt there is any place near me to get some. Maybe il try on my next trip to a real city. Any suggestions on finding some other than a google for “vegan sushi near me” ?

Thank you! I’ve had this touched on before but never with quite such a vivid description, and it has changed how I mentally image the whole event. Now I’m picturing these new bacteria doing their thing, pumping out their toxic wastes without a care in the world as all the earth’s buffers just kept eating it up. Then, just like a beaker high school science experiment suddenly changing color in the blink of an eye, the buffers fill up and BAM! the entire atmosphere becomes toxic, and life itself becomes fire.

You can already buy it by the gallon and just pour yourself a couple glasses each day. Look for “nursery water with fluoride.” I get it from my local grocery store but you should be able to find it at walmart/target/cvs

I think it was a teen’s room at some point, don’t know if it was the prior or the person before them. And yeah they are just fun why would you take them down until you had to?
This is such a pleasant thing to share with us, thank you for posting
Glad I was able to make someone smile. They have made me smile often enough it’s nice to spread it around

Read this as "out of spiced tea" at first, a terrifying proposition,
Truly a horror story in four words.

That is so cool! I didn’t think there were any bacteria you could see with the naked eye
And im really curious how you can reverse the breathing process for a net gain in energy. I mean that really breaks my brain, it’s awesome

Reply to comment by twovests in really concerned about a new generation of normalization of pedophilia (CW: CSA) by twovests
I hate to say it but there have always been people (mostly men) who preferred their “partners” be too immature and dependent to stand up for themselves, along with other people willing to enable them. Fighting these creeps is never going to stop because they never went away, they just got quiet for a bit. It’s a process, not an end.
maybe "having sex with children is bad" was just a temporary thing during the obama presidency. .. i miss him...
Honestly I can’t stand Obama, but he does seem to be one of the best people to have held that office in at least 3 decades. The sad thing is he can claim this based on little more than being the only one of the lot without credible sexual assault accusations.

It took me way too long to even figure out what you are talking about. But I rely too much on peanut butter to cut out nuts; I’d starve.

Ok cool!
I gave in and went to the wet place though. Now I’m waiting to dry just a bit before I go out in the world.

Reply to comment by cowloom in induction stoves are complete dog shit by emma
I use a “duxtop” brand single burner induction cooktop and it uses button controls, not touch. I’m pretty fond of it actually.

Reply to comment by cute_spider in balatro warning: this game is not fun if you don't already know how to play poker by twovests
Along with the obsession over Texas Hold’em, quite possibly the worst version of poker that actually uses cards.
But I’m not bitter or anything.
