Rag rugs are a game changer

*some rag rugs.

*Happy cake day!

It was a long history of me antagonizing her, because she was a religious prude and deeply unsuited for the role, and I was a little asshole. I sat in the hall more than at my desk.

I asked my health teacher to describe an orgasm.

It's a 40 year old Fuji road bike that a local co-op refurbished and I'm in love. It's for my commute- I'm scheduled early for an 8-week project and the bus doesn't run til later. I haven't seriously biked since the mid 1990s, but I rode it home during rush hour yesterday with very little grief.

I bought a bike today! I'm very pleased.

He's an otter by my reckoning.

This is the natural continuation of choosing the bear. We found The Universal Exception. And I truly don't give a fuck if a meme of a dorky pretty 50 year old man hurts someone's feelings.

I'm so fucking upset that overly dramatic Spiderman has nothing to do with the theft.

60% of the time, it works every time.

It's a lot of fun, and there are wildly different projects for different tastes. I like the transcription projects, and any fish/mollusk surveys.

iNaturalist was already mentioned.

Zooniverse is a great citizen science project.

*I see you said no campus stuff, but look at local colleges for drug studies or brain imaging studies. There's usually some criteria they need participants to meet- diagnosed with (x) or no history of (y)- but some are quick and compensate with cash.

Alphebetizing by the "The" should be a criminal act.

I am a biological woman. I identify as such. I don't know what the same person plus 30+ minutes with a curling iron has to do with cheating. Effort? Vanity? This is far, far beyond me somehow. I am also very old so there's that.

I'm partial to moooons.

Happy baby

I make a German chocolate cake once a year for my partner's birthday that uses an absolutely horrifying amount of sour cream. 12/10 would bake more if it wasn't such a pain in the ass.

I'll do about a quart of buttermilk in recipes around the holidays, but I've been leaning hard on my sour cream mixture.

I increased the amount to 3Tb per cup of water for my lemon pound cake, and I'm thinking about adding more. Testing the possibilities before summer hits and I bake a million loaves for when I go visiting.

Hoecakes.

Hoecakes.

Buttermilk is weird, and adding vinegar to milk is gross, so my workaround is 1TB sour cream per 1 c. Water, mixed together.

Also, if you're sick of syrup, compound butter is a great alternative.

I will add in my own twist:

Caffeine pills are better than those shitty MiO caffeined water flavor squeeze bottles.

1. MiO is stupid expensive and owned by an evil megacorp.
2. Black plastic isn't recyclable.
3. Dosages are standardized for caffeine pills. If you squeeze thr MiO too hard and don't notice, you're gonna have a bad time.
4. You can wash it down with any flavor liquid you choose, not just chemical fruit flavor.

Correct.
