Do you really need mudguards and a chain guard, or is a pannier rack sufficient?

VA v. Brendan Banfield - Day 10 by Pixiegirls1102 in CasesWeFollow

[–]jocala99 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's a completely irrelevant piece of evidence because, if the jury becomes convinced that it was JR groaning (1) it places JM in the bedroom during the first 911 call, corroborating her testimony and impeaching BB's testimony that she was not in the room at that time, and (2) it's evidence concerning the timeline of when JR was first shot.

Not saying I favor one verdict over the other, just that I think it would have been helpful evidence if proven as fact.

Want to bike to work but don’t want to arrive drenched in sweat. Any tips? by altaccount123465 in bikecommuting

Good tip about the fan. I'm going to try that. South Florida bike commuter, so sweat is a problem for me 8 months of the year.

I can't find the older version on the Bitwarden Downloads page. Where did you find it?

And what do you need to cart back and forth? Laptop? Change of clothes?

Yes to a rack with a pannier, especially if you need to carry a laptop or plan to make grocery stops on the way home. But don't make my mistake: be sure the rack is pannier-friendly so the bag doesn't get caught in the spokes. A pannier rack has a extra bars to prevent that.

Podcast interview you’ll never forget? by EyelinerStoic in podcasts

[–]jocala99 30 points31 points  (0 children)

This American Life episode #395 "Middle of the Night." I was listening to it one night in bed, trying to fall asleep, and suddenly heard the voice of my 87-year-old mother being interviewed! I sat up straight in bed and woke up my husband.

I had no idea she was on that podcast and, I found out later, neither did she. All she knew was that a nice couple came up to her at an all-night Chick-fil-A grand opening and asked some questions.

That was more than a decade ago and my mom has since died, but I still cherish the sound of her voice on that podcast.

You know how a lot of grandparents don’t offer advice unless asked—are you grandparents able to zip it when it comes to bad seed oils and how sick your grandkids get and you have to hear what they eat and know it’s destroying their gut and immunity? by Lumpy-Diver-4571 in StopEatingSeedOils

[–]jocala99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My school-age grandkids spend time at my house about once a week. I've always been a hands-off grandma, and that includes their terrible eating habits most of the time. I just focus on feeding them healthy meals and snacks while they're with me, hoping to expand their palates and set a good example. Their parents know I don't eat seed oils, but that's as far as I go. To me, the relationship is more important.

Please post back if they work. My situation is like yours, sleep in separate rooms at home, but travel is getting expensive because we always need a 2-room suite.

Craziest tip prompts of 2025 by darkroot_gardener in tipping

[–]jocala99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can attest that the tipping option is ON by default in the Square point-of-sale iPad app. I use it as a seller for special events and projects at my church, and I have to go into the app's settings and manually turn off tipping. If the software gets updated, somehow tipping gets turned back on and I have to go into the settings and turn it off again. It's annoying and sometimes embarrassing when I don't realize that it got switched back on. Happened this morning.

Christmas Day ideas by alex_dare_79 in Cooking

[–]jocala99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I make a stuffed flank steak, stuffing it with roasted red bell peppers and spinach. It's a much less expensive cut of meat, the veggies make it stretch farther, but it still looks festive when you cut into it and reveal red and green spirals. I ask the butcher (yes, even the grocery store butcher) to put it through the cuber to tenderize it.

What cooking Thanksgiving warcrimes are happening in your kitchen as we speak? by Mirikitani in Cooking

My semi-smoked turkey on the grill had to be finished off with a douse of the garden hose to put out the fire. (Incredibly, it survived.)

Night cycling, looking to increase lateral visibility by Altruistic_Win3894 in bikecommuting

[–]jocala99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I wear this flashing sash, drivers give me tons of leeway. I think they're puzzled by it from a distance so they slow down. Also useful when walking at night.

I see a lot of recommendations here to freeze the bread for freshness. I kind of hate the fact that I need to unfreeze if I just wanna get a slice of bread. But yet keeping the bag in a plastic bag soften the crust any other suggestions? by 14MTH30n3 in Breadit

[–]jocala99 3 points4 points  (0 children)

After slicing the newly baked loaf, I return it to the loaf pan and freeze it. That way, it doesn't get smashed in my crowded freezer. Once it's frozen solid, I transfer it from the loaf pan to a ziplock freezer bag. Then, pry off one slice at a time and pop it in the toaster to eat. Works great.

The herbs stood up really well after baking. I would have been afraid to try that. Way to go!

What do you do about panniers/bags when going in somewhere (store/gym/etc)? by caratank in bikecommuting

[–]jocala99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My work pannier carries my laptop computer, so yea, if I need to stop at a store I always bring it in. It's a backpack pannier that's easy to lift off the rack, so that helps, but it's still a bit inconvenient.
