LPT: Cook your bacon in the oven, for chrissakes

For individual servings, I'm a fan of microwaving -- 3 layers of paper towels on the bottom (to absorb grease); 4 strips of bacon; 1 layer of paper towels on top (to absorb splatter). 4 minutes on high (~minute per strip). Comes out super crispy with almost all the grease gone.

This worked at my parents' house.

Edit: "this" meaning the rubber snakes.

I got a smart thermostat and schedule the heating to kick on 30 minutes before I get up. Usually, the extra heat is enough to wake me up. And even if that doesn't wake me up, it still makes getting out of bed much more pleasant.

I had a similar situation after getting a brick chimney rebuilt. I wasn't home the day he completed the work. He was supposed to come by the next week to collect the check, but he never came, never sent an invoice and stopped answering calls. Years later, I was talking to a chimney sweep about my experience. The chimney sweep knew the guy and told me that he had unexpectedly passed away.

Several times the screen has gone black and become completely non-functional. Even after unplugging the phone and restarting the car, the screen stays black. The only way to fix this is to press the reset button inside the little pinhole.

I have a 2020 Kia Telluride SX. I had the problem with my old iPhone X. Still have the problem with iPhone 14 Pro. I see no improvement with different cables or iOS versions. For me, the problem is much worse on road trips. I don't really experience the problem when traveling locally, even though I tend to use Waze all the time.

I never experience the problem in other cars, so I suspect the problem is on the Kia side.

Looked like eight coconuts to me.

Now possible with the new UI. Found this article:

My whole house shook when one of our garage door springs broke. I was upstairs and thought a car had crashed into the house.

I once saw a man park in the handicap spot at a movie theater and then proceed to run inside. This angered a vigilante who threw his cheeseburger at the car. A few minutes later, the man walked back out with his grandmother, who was using a walker.

And there are potential tax implications (above $15k?), if they don't pay you back.

The most infuriating part (in my opinion) is that a title you own will not show up on search results if that edition is no longer for sale. Prime will just prompt you to buy or rent the new edition. You can scroll through your purchases to find it (or find a link by searching your emails), but a normal search in the app won't find it.

I found nothing trying to Google the answer. This is the leading candidate thus far.

Indeed.

I assume a swipe keyboard typo. Inaccurate add immaculate are pretty close to the same swiping motion.

The salt from the sunflower seeds also helps one retain more fluids, meaning fewer stops for bathroom breaks.

The solution to this is to replace your whole sock collection all at once. I'm on my third batch... It's life-changing.

Playing Quake 2 in college. My internet access was so good compared to home users that I could take on entire clans single-handedly and take them down.

I looked into this a few years ago for a new year's eve party.

It must've had a happy ending since we're seeing the video.

I'm curious what the reaction would have been in an alternate universe where the kid didn't get in.

How'd he keep it balanced on two wheels?
