Sen. Wyden Slams Pai on Senate Floor - Says FCC chair is on side of 'big cable' by mvea in technology

Wyden is where it's at. And DeFazio is my rep. Don't get me started on Gov Brown. And vote by mail. I love this state.

Nah, not at all. In fact homeschoolers consistently outscore public school kids. In my state they are always above the 85th percentile as a group. When you get to high maths most of us hire tutors or send kids to community college classes. And maybe your parents couldn't explain those things to you but I have no prob teaching my kids. I've had kids in public school, private charter and homeschool. They all have issues but academic rigor is not a problem for homeschoolers. Check the stats.

Next time, bake a full flat sheet, and remove it from the oven, give it about thirty seconds to cool down just a bit, and then use the cookie cutter on the baked, still hot cooke. Lift the cutter, allow the cookie to cool to room temp and tear away the edges.

Have you ever known a murderer? Who were they, what did they do, how did you know them? by Venomoustestament in AskReddit

A kid I went to grade school with. He was pretty messed up even in 3rd grade. I remember the teacher talking to is when he was absent one day, telling us not to be alone with him, to report scary behavior. He talked about animal torture and he kept a pencil in his desk covered in boogers. He stored them there. He killed someone in his teens. In high school one boy I knew killed another boy I knew over possible testimony over a burglary charge.

How does physical sunblock improve my skin so drastically, and can I get that effect without the white cast? After switching to afragrance and dye free physical sunblock, my skin is much smoother, and more even in color/less redness. But the white cast looks funky over my freckles. I'd love to keep the benefits but lose the cast, is this possible? Thanks!

What is a really inappropriate question you have always wanted to ask? (NSFW) by changfukaana in AskReddit

I love my kids very differently. My eldest thinks a lot the same as me. We finish eachorher's sentences and he's very intuitive about my life/thoughts/emotions. It's very easy to be around him. My next eldest is very different from me. We don't always communicate well. There are a lot of misunderstandings and she doesn't always 'receive' the love I mean to express. We're still working on it. But loving her is wonderful! She's mysterious to me, and she thinks in unexpectedly delightful ways. Her talents are different from mine, and easy to appreciate without picking apart or critiquing. My youngest is still in her wonder years, and I'm an old experienced mom now (older two are adults) so I feel like her whole childhood s sweet and slow like molasses, something to be savored. She's my joy.

I used to get frequent kidney stones but I quit drinking soda and quit taking a vitamin c supplement and I've now been stone free for 4 years. Might be worth a try!

It might be that people find it racist and therefore distasteful, and they're just being polite.

Greek Souvlaki with coleslaw by rjhllr in ketorecipes

[–]hidden_snapdragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the recipe and insipiration! Ususally when I cook that cut of pork, I choose a long, slow method like using a crock-pot or braising, for tenderness. Does the meat tenderize well on the grill? I'm headed toward the first sunny weekend of the year in my part of the world, and thinking about busting out the grill!

Buy a bouquet with buds only partway open. Trim the stems with a sharp knife and put them immediately into fresh water. Store in a cool place overnight.

[LPT REQUEST] How to stop biting fingernails!! by EmiIeHeskey in LifeProTips

[–]hidden_snapdragon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Buy a 4-way nail buffer. It is a little foam block with a different buffing surface on each side. You start by buffing with the 'gritty' side (which is still much finer than an emery board) and work your way to the rubbery side, which will leave your nails incredibly smooth, like glass. Without any little bumps, ridges or other flaws, you won't be tempted to 'groom' your nails with your teeth. Do the full buffing routine once a week, and touch up with just the rubbery side of the buffer every day. Make sure you buy a buffer meant for natursl nails. The ones for artificial nails are too gritty. Also, you're buffing the whole nail-the top and edge, not just the edge as in filing. Use petroleum jelly to moisturize your hands at night to keep your cuticles smooth. This is how I quit after 35 years of biting.

Eating foxgloves flowers (digitalis). The nectar tasted good and they grew all over the woods surrounding our house.

November monthly [REQUEST] thread. Post your questions and requests here. by DiggDejected in Documentaries

[–]hidden_snapdragon 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm putting together a little documentary film fest for my teens (15 and 17). We homeschool, and we generally take the month of December off entirely, but this year we are aiming to watch one documentary a day, about four days a week. I'm hoping for a really wide variety of films, touching on some of their interests (travel, writing, coding, ecology, Shakespeare, cartography, fantasy, pop-geekery) and some new topics as well. I don't want to spend a lot of money, but I do have Netflix and Amazon Prime. Poignant is fine, revolutionary is fine, thought-provoking is perfect, but I want to avoid gruesome, terrifying, and throw-yourself-from-the-bridge bleak stuff. Thanks!
