QuoteRolando Quotemrbigstuff A tiny pinch of salt in your brew while it is hot. Very tiny. Came here to say this. Pretty common in Mexico and authentic Mexican restaurants. Apparently the tiny bit of salt blocks your bitter receptors. I think I’ve heard of adding a small amount of baking soda to reduce acidity.

Re: Christmas stuff already out at Costco - 3 months ago

QuotepRICE cUBE Year round Christmas is coming. I remember walking into a store one year that had an early Christmas display and for a moment feeling completely disoriented in time. I couldn’t decide if the display I was looking at was left over from the previous Christmas or set up early for the next Christmas.

Re: "How can you be Donald Trump’s running mate and say this without recognizing what a massive self-own it will be and…oh, I forgot it’s JD Vance, nvm..." - 3 months ago

Humor has never been a strong point for the right. I think that’s telling. Humor relies upon a sense of imagination and appreciation of the absurd. Both are higher order attributes of intelligence.

Re: Medal of Honor? It's for suckers & losers - 3 months ago

"But civilian version, it’s actually much better because everyone gets the Congressional Medal of Honor, they're soldiers. They’re either in very bad shape because they’ve been hit so many times by bullets or they’re dead," Trump concluded. “She gets it, and she’s a healthy, beautiful woman, and they’re rated equal, but she got the Presidential Medal of Freedom, and she g

Re: Walz/Trump voters for Harris : Interview with Gov Tim Walz - 4 months ago

I live in Minnesota and am less impressed with Walz than others. There have been a few big scandals during his tenure that no one with oversight was ever held responsible for and this year the legislature blew through a very large budget surplus and then raised taxes to boot, alienating many in the state. However, I’m not sure he could have controlled that. I voted for him, but think Harris can

Strange behavior accessing mail account on Mac and iPhone - 4 months ago

While I was out of town recently, I tried to access my Outlook email on my iPhone. MS denied access, saying that my login info was incorrect. However, since my login is stored in my iOS passwords, I knew I was providing the proper login info. I tried to log in a couple of more times and was promptly locked out. However, when I log into Outlook via web mail, I can connect to my inbox just fine.
