    Don't put ketchup on hot dogs!

    I don't understand. Is yogurt mayonnaise just mayonnaise mixed with yogurt then?

    Some fun new trends in High School education

    Taking a cat around in public as an emotional support animal is barbaric. Cats are territorial and don't like being moved around all the time. At best they will tolerate what normally causes a cat an insane amount of stress. Certainly it's a terrible idea for a high school kid to be tooling...

    Does anyone care about Amazon Prime Day

    Are you talking about a rice cooker? A pressure cooker is not just a rice cooker. Just for rice, it's probably not faster, and possibly slower, than many rice cookers for just 1 cup of rice. But 4-5 cups it's going to be way more than 5% faster, because most of the time spent for 1 cup will...

    Virginia does not allow drivers to use headphones.

    Well, depending on where you live, you could also just cycle on the sidewalk. It's legal here as long as the sidewalk isn't directly in front of a building entrance.

    Virginia does not allow drivers to use headphones.

    True. I suppose you'd need some of those rather silly looking mirrors that attach to your helmet or handlebars. Which is also, I guess, a means to safely ride your bike with headphones. Somehow I doubt that's what is going on though.

    how do you pronounce AT usernames?

    But the X is short for Christ. Le Christ's Killer

    Virginia does not allow drivers to use headphones.

    Cycling with headphones seems risky to me. Not being able to hear a car approaching from behind specifically would scare me. We don't have many totally silent cars where I live, though, that could possibly render this point moot.

    Does anyone care about Amazon Prime Day

    I suppose you could call it overpriced, but certainly less so than many stovetop pressure cookers. Kuhn Rikon, I'm looking at you in particular! Fagor is about the same price generally as Instant Pot. Basically the only popular / well-liked brand that is affordable is Presto. And the 8 quart...

    This year's prime day deals are noticeably better than last year for me.

    Free returns - can you determine if they are adequately breathable if you put them on indoors and walk around on carpet or the like? They aren't as breathable as my running shoes but they aren't crazy warm like winter shoes or anything.

    Does anyone care about Amazon Prime Day

    Got a pair of merrell shoes for 30% off ~$55. A lot of shoes are 30% off. The discounted price is not listed when you search. It will say prime day deal though. But when you click on the item, it will note the 30% will be applied at checkout (if it does apply, that is).

    Crushing sessions....wut?

    I was kind of thinking it sounded reasonable until I clicked the link and saw what was actually happening. I was picturing something ala that masterpiece of a film where JCVD played twins and had his head crushed by a former Miss Olympia's thighs.

    Released From Prison Last Night

    No one with a beard like that is "Totally Innocent." It's just one of those universal laws.

    Costco testing burgers for the food court.

    They'll need to greatly improve it from these early reports before I'd choose it over other options at the food court. Our local pubs have better burgers for cheaper than $5.

    Why do some restaurants ration napkins?

    OP mentioned a burger joint. If you are eating burgers that don't belong on this list, then you aren't eating the right kind of burgers. They should be messy, juicy, and just generally a ridiculous experience that no one can reasonably undertake without looking like a pig. If you say that you...
