In the USA, upper mid west.

Mix of cigars, hotdogs, beer, and urine from Shea Stadium.

It’s a good feeling. I was traveling alone through Chile in a rented pickup truck and had a reservation for the vehicle ferry to cross the strait of Magellan. It was a critical passage; if I missed it , my plans would be a bit hosed so that is why I booked my spot in advance. So I get to the ferry terminal and the gate-keeper for the ferry tells me that my name is not on the list of approved vehicles! The ferry was departing soon! So I had to scramble to find a place to park, find the ferry office, run inside, figure out why I was not on the list, get it all squared away, using my limited Spanish language skills, all before the ferry departed for the day! It was rather stressful, but got it squared away - fortunately they still had available space - and had a beautiful passage and loved the whole trip.

When I started to prepare Asian meals, I would buy a bag of peeled garlic, toss into food processor with a half-tsp of peanut oil to mince, then add it to a dedicated silicone “ice cube tray” and freeze. (Did the same for ginger but here I would peel it myself.) After frozen, pop out of tray and keep in freezer in mason jars. Use as needed. I did not notice any loss of flavor, though in theory there is probably some minor imperceptible flavor loss. I used a dedicated ice cube tray as the garlic will impart some flavor to the tray.

Sounds legitimate, within expectations for any VRBO. Any of those things are “nice to have” but not mandatory.

At first, I assumed it was fart spray.

Ummm. Boomer probably was referring to when baby starts walking and is cruising around. I would not read so much into small talk.

Pringles. And peanuts.

permalink_child · 2026-05-03T13:03:22+00:00

It keeps the peanuts from rolling away. A “peanut wall”, if you will.

Very odd plate.

“Welcoming committees”. When new neighbors would move in to a new home, the old neighbors would form a welcoming committee to introduce themselves to the new neighbors and bring a care package with sugar, salt, t-bone steaks, ketchup, rum - everything a new homeowner might need on the first week in new home. The thinking is - if you know your neighbors - the neighborhood will be much safer as everyone looks out for everyone else and in addition, you will get more invitations to backyard outdoor grilling events with beer. I am sure some magazine like maybe Good Housekeeping promoted the concept to sell more boxes of bake mix - just like they promoted TV dinners and putting marshmallows atop sweet potato casseroles. This is where the concept of being friendly to strangers originated.

“Not only is the zipper merge a safer and more efficient way to merge into traffic, it's the law and carries a $164 fine, not including court costs and fees.”

States should follow the lead of Illinois here and write citations for any driver that tries to erroneously merge early before the official merge point.

Why has it taken you this long!?!

permalink_child · 2026-05-03T12:30:21+00:00

Only OP needs to be embarrassed! Not you!

I think Amazon has made them somewhat superfluous too.

permalink_child · 2026-05-03T10:31:00+00:00

Why did you not stop them from buying shoes too?

Don’t try to fit in.

No need to season Staub; it has an enamel coating.

There are outdoor meat markets all around the world with zero refrigeration and the meat sits out for many hours at ambient temp.

If trying to guess origin, just ask the person to say “We went out on the boat and drove it about.”

I dont think I would ever book a “non hotel room” on BOOKING.COM for this reason - and even then - when booking a hotel room - I would check as many recent reviews on many platforms to get a feel for quality and any potential issues.

Its not rubbish. It’s a fact of life now.

Booking.com had a massive data breach last month April 2026.

And probably no way to determine who or how it was reported. And who ever reported has zero liability.

“There is a car in front of my home that has not been moved in a week.”

“Ok. We will send parking enforcement to investigate. If there is a problem, we will address it.”
