The easiest thing is to buy staples to use them FIFO. That way, you're not stuck with 100 lbs of honey, flour, or such.

Just moved out of CA. Went through Loma Prieta, Camp Fire, and numerous power outages. The other likely natural disaster is a megaflood like 1861-2.

Be prepared. - scouts motto. Anyone who's been through several natural disasters or lives in the northern midwest already should take reasonable preparedness in stride.

There is no end to the control, groupthink, and thought policing demanded by the political correctness control freaks. They don't want debate, polemism, or freedom; they want power…

Apple has always be proprietary and always will. Apple II and Macintosh Plus days, they sold all their own peripherals. I had a Dell XPS 13 1645 that had a great display, but every…

I support this message. :) Coincidentally, I just moved to Austin and am rebuilding my hot sauce collection. Does anyone else have an absurd, hoarder stash of spicy substances in g…

Rx only. I've taken it for weight gain from mirtazapine along with statins for familial hypercholesterolemia. IF is better but it leads to reduced energy levels, increased aggressi…

I don't think you understand what's going on. There is no democracy, it's a pantomime theater where the rich and their lackeys hold veto over the people's pseudo-choice. Being info…

Razor-blade economies. It's most consumers who suck because they didn't wise-up to DRM, giveaway printers, ink drying-up, and expensive ink and instead get a used flagship laser pr…

Who should have more power then? Mobs of open carrying "poll watchers" or folks in white hoods? Corporations? Uninformed voters who are easily convinced by targeted FB ads? Old, wi…

Fast, constraint-based layout as a simple rules language with optional layout handlers and calculations provided by code.

As an example application, it would be cool to have a vehicle know when its shocks need to be replaced or if they are too far out of specification, just from monitoring suspension …

Let's not lose nuance about the scales of "mistakes" about Transcendental Meditation or bell bottoms with taking and placing children in concentration camps (places where people ar…
