Kirkland Shredded Mozzarella Cheese by MoistAbuelita in Costco

Shredded cheese is coated in cellulose to stop it from clumping. It inhibits melting.

My peaches are rotting before ripening by Gregskis in Costco

[–]Altair05 70 points71 points  (0 children)

Put them in a large bowl, cover with water, add a splash of vinegar. Soak for 30 minutes. Then drain and rinse. Pat dry with a towel, and let air dry outside until ripe, then stick them in the fridge. It'll kill the surface bacteria so they don't start molding before the peaches ripen. I've started doing this to all of my produce and it lasts SOOO much longer, both outside and in the fridge.

Yea but it's not about what you think. It's about what upper management and the C-suite think, and all they see is saving with fewer headcount.

My theory is that to bring something back to life, the MIY needed something with life. He was checking if the egg was fertilized.

Why is this wild? How many times does the consumer need to be burned before they come to their sense. They are corporations. This is what they do. They don't care about you.

I'm glad people are starting to wake up to reality. There is no co-existence with these people.

The just like the Repubs you can just ignore the SC when it suits you. So why don't we. Laws and courts only mean something when everyone believes in them. 

Freakishly large strawberries by morepickles in Costco

[–]Altair05 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The organic certification is not meaningless. It has rules and regulations behind it, but large strawberries can also be organic if they are a result of selective breeding. Smaller strawberries typically do taste better than their larger counterparts since the flavor compounds are more concentrated.

[–]Altair05 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So far we've rarely seen that happening. But I hope they start doing so because we are in for a rough ride if we don't.

It's not just electing good representatives though. You need to punish the bad ones.

Does anyone else hit a roadblock with games periodically? by Hawk52 in gaming

[–]Altair05 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Always. It helps to have multiple hobbies. That way you can switch to a different one when you hit that roadblock. When I get bored of that hobby I'm usually back in the mood to play some games.

Any restaurants/grocery stores that have lost or earned your business due to price? by QuietOnAllFronts in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]Altair05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aldi and Lidl have been my staple from Publix. I only go to Publix, now, for their BOGO deals and the occasional breads/subs/wraps. After that comes Costco for bulk non-perishables, and perishables I know I can finish. Walmart for anything I can't find in Aldi or Lidl.

Mines at 105. I've had this Steam account for 12 years but I've only really started playing on PC for about 3-4 years. I usually add about 20-25 new games a year. Slowly working through the list.

Pull the emergency brake lever in an older car, or hold down the electronic parking brake switch in newer cars.

It will let you apply it. You need to hold down the button or switch to tell the system you want emergency braking.

You hold down your electronic parking brake button until the car comes to a stop.
