@BurrowingDan @LazarusLong13 @1goodtern How has your strategy worked out since? Any more Covid infections?

I get it. You need a place to decompress. So, the Covid Careful tend to take umbrage to outdoor transmission studies. Outdoors IS safer. But study after study has shown outdoor transmission. As do these 2 studies. Catching Covid Camping. 🧵.

@justalexoki She's right. When you add the food it's going to drop the temperature precipitously, and the faster you get it back up to the target temp, the better the results. Starting with a pan hotter than the target temp reduces that delta and therefore reduces the below-target time.

my wife puts it on 5/6 and then when its warm enough she takes it down to 4/6. i keep trying to explain it doesn't matter, but she insists. who's actually right here

@cokepaddington @RealDianeYap @justalexoki I've got some bad news for you about me, and also about the nature of love!

@BurrowingDan @RealDianeYap @justalexoki Why would you willingly have a fat husband

this goes around a lot but what is it actually that makes women like this body type so much? why this specifically?

@nikki57 @castlehillmom @dont_be_common Yeah the local taxes are usually flat because carving out exceptions is a lot of work for a county. But they're also usually like 1-3%.

@BurrowingDan @castlehillmom @dont_be_common Looks like local taxes may still apply to groceries, but you're right that the state base tax doesn't apply to groceries

Continuing the WTF are people doing to feed themselves and their families discourse, I have no idea how this woman could spend $90 to make cheeseburgers at home. It costs less per person the more people you feed. Just bizarre commentary. Mostly she just sounds burnt out. This would take me 30 min and $30 (less with sales).

@nikki57 @castlehillmom @dont_be_common AR has zero sales tax on groceries, so whatever taxes she's paying on groceries is a city or county levy. I seriously doubt the people of Smackover imposed the 9% grocery tax on themselves.

@castlehillmom @dont_be_common A quick google search shows they're from Smackover AR where the sales tax is 9%.

@TxGwyn74227 @NotLizBrody Me either! Curly showed up as "looks bad when long."

@BurrowingDan @NotLizBrody I didn't even know my hair was curly til I let it grow

Ppl just stopped feeling pressured to flat iron their hair to “fit in.” Lots of white ppl have always had wavy/curly hair but in the 90s-early 2000s everyone felt like you had to have pin straight hair to look “put together.”

@noknowsgoes There are treats in my house that are only for me because they are expensive and the kids actually *prefer* cheaper treats, and the man houses sugar too fast to be able to afford the fancy shit. My temperance has material rewards, and it is my privilege to enjoy them.

I’m not an evil mom if I wait til the kids to go to bed to eat fancy icecream right

@TxGwyn74227 @NotLizBrody It's been sort of wild to realize that probably the *reason* I had short hair forever is that I knew I wasn't ever going to be a daily flat iron type of girl, and had no knowledge or resources to manage my actual curls, so long hair "looked bad on me".

@NotLizBrody I had short hair forever. Once I let it grow out all the curls came out. Pluse I got tired of always having to flat iron my hair. Decided to work with what I have

@RealDianeYap @justalexoki I actually have a fat husband and he knows I think the physique in the OP is the absolute ideal male body and let me tell you, that does not make him feel better.

@justalexoki It's a lie to make their fat husbands feel better.

@Michael_Druggan @lofofty @justalexoki (I mean I would say that, and do, once I am in a relationship with such a man where I can be sure he'll take it as a compliment. But never to a casual friend or acquaintance or god forbid a stranger.)

@Michael_Druggan @lofofty @justalexoki I think further than attracts, it actually invites comment. When I see a cut bodybuilder I know his physique is extremely on purpose and he's likely to appreciate a compliment about it. But I would never say "I love that you have a healthy layer of fat over all that muscle"

@justalexoki Women like muscular guys but it's socially unacceptable to admit to liking bodybuilder/fitness influencer type physiques in many female circles so this is the body type they compromise on.

@justalexoki People are overcomplicating this. The answer is: Strong. Soft.

@justalexoki I don't mean this in a "each of my kids is worthwhile individually" way, that's obviously true for any number of kids. I mean four is a really good family size. Their relationships with each other are so important to the family dynamics.

@justalexoki I'm really glad I have four kids. I might have been happier with more, but I'm very happy I don't have less.

i need life advice. do you like your life and if so how did you get there? or really just any advice at all works

@RJ2833 @TiffaniMarie483 Rarely there's a 3) someone sick just got out of the car or I'M sick and someone vulnerable is about to get in. I sometimes transport a cancer patient (my coparent), or people who live with a cancer patient (my kids) and I don't think that's overkill, but I guess you might.

@RJ2833 @TiffaniMarie483 This is a bad comparison. You're making up stories about the person in the car. I'm sometimes that person and it's because either 1) my mask is so comfortable I forgot it's on, 2) I'm in the car for like two minutes or less. Nobody is afraid of their car.

People in my life make fun of me because I use two sets of tongs to make bacon; one for the raw and one for cooked. Are they right? Am I being overly cautious?

@collin_ruth89 I really find it hard to believe that this is the first time you're hearing that it's bad for your health. The childhood asthma rates are the canary in the coal mine.

Do people actually buy electric stoves? Gas is 10x better. Someone explain this to me.

@collin_ruth89 There's no gas line to my house. I am an anti-consumerist curmudgeon so I am sticking with my coils while they last, but when it's time to replace I will go induction and it will be even better than if I had gas.

@alaskastardust My first serious, marriage-oriented relationship was with a man who loved to dig holes, loved mines and caves, just wanted to be underground. He was very excited to become a Burrow someday. Alas.

It’s simple. children should be given the last name of whichever parent has the cooler one

interesting that when the topic of surnames comes up, this is always the go-to gotcha when men also usually get their surnames from their dads and it’s not seen as “his dad’s name” it’s just his name
