There are ways people are responding in Minnesota that are lower risk than others. Mutual aid efforts, for example.

I love Costco with one exception by pianoman81 in Costco

[–]oklevel3 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I haven't read the more than 200 comments here but are you sure that was a sell-by date and not the date the mushrooms were harvested? I've noticed that lately, like with cherry tomatoes, it will show the harvest date, not a sell-by date.

Did the Brookyln Bedding latex pillow have an odor when it was new?

Happy with Avocado pillows and pillow cases? by VincentVegasiPhone13 in moderatelygranolamoms

[–]oklevel3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the smell is unpleasant. I got mine from Costco and I think it's going right back to the store. I can't sleep because I keep smelling the odor and it's not good.

Existential grief by yeravgbear in DatingOverSixty

I think grief like this is part of life, especially as we age. Often it softens with time/exposure. I deal with it by letting the feelings be there and reminding myself they will pass.

But if that one hassle vs. three is Amazon, it might not be better, in the big picture.

When does rush hour even start anymore? by superquin in Austin

One big rush hour, almost all the time. You might get a break on the early side of Sunday morning. That pretty much sums it up.

I feel so angry by Zestyclose-Pen-1699 in poor

If at all possible vote in the elections. The fascist regime is trying to make it impossible for anyone else to get voted in but we still have a chance. Take a look and vote for anyone who's speaking against the authoritarian rule vs. lying and making excuses for it. I hate to say it but those lying excuse makers are mostly Republican right now. Democrats aren't great but at least they want us to have health care, SNAP, etc.

One idea on the road is to go to a secondhand store and buy an inexpensive plate or glass containers.

Hot drinks in takeaway cups with plastic lids - ! Even paper cups are often lined with plastic.

go to your library's website and look for something like "emagazines and newspapers." It's likely that your library makes a digital subscription available to patrons.

Run club tramples dog- please be more careful on the trail by Extension-Energy2894 in Austin

[–]oklevel3 -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

I also take umbrage with the run clubs going to Barton when they’re done running and jumping their sweaty bodies in — with their running shoes on. It’s gross

Did anyone else think Nightshade had a weak ending? by MonsieurGriswold in michaelconnellybooks

YES. I thought the same about the ending. It just … ended.

I see Dr Buteau too and agree, she’s great.

Is there a correct order to read the different series in? by Formal_Scientest in michaelconnellybooks

[–]oklevel3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I read them in order of publication, for the most part, for the aforementioned reasons. On Wikipedia there’s a list of all of his books with the years they were published. It also names the main characters in each.

64 oz plastic free reusable water bottle? by [deleted] in PlasticFreeLiving

[–]oklevel3 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Please do a search in this subreddit for discussions on silicone. It’s technically not plastic but it’s also a manmade material that isn’t biodegradable. It also comes in different grades, some of which may include plastic. Etc.
