Surely there's a clever portmanteau to be made on "Scotch Egg."

This is still blowing my mind. OP Marf is in Oakland. I don't remember a time past 1985 when shooting off a full barrage of fireworks was socially acceptable in not-exactly-known-for-wildfires Atlanta. A roman candle or a bundle of bottle rockets was a trashy treat. Am I forgetting something?

Are they legal for private use in CA or anywhere adjacent? That seems insane.

In Alabama, anyone can request either primary ballot. The only catch is that you can't vote R and then vote in a subsequent D runoff; you must have voted D or abstained. I'm registered independent for privacy's sake, but it isn't required here.

Oh cripes, autocarrot tried to get me to change "a malapropism" to "malapropism." If autocarrot is driving the shift, then it IS related to the technical term and the visible degradation of predictive text's probability calculations.

But that's a different, and uncommon, sense. So different that it's basically a malapropism. By that logic, "This gum costed two dollars" makes as much sense as "this gum hydroxylated two dollars," since both misuse a technical term. It's nothing to do with the term of art. It's just drift.

This one is six feet long. The footrest doesn't fall off the front and the chair doesn't fall off the back. Glorious. And it's bamboo, which IMO feels nice on the feet.

2 leads to bruises. 4 is thankless. 3 leads to madness because it will feel like something crawling on you. Madness might come in handy, though, so do that. Or 5, 5 is basically never incorrect.

Yeah, I moved from the "easy walk if I wasn't always buying bookshelves" zone to the "shipping prices so high they've inspired an actual cottage industry" lands, so I do KWYM. My last order was $100, 2 big items, 9 little items, free shipping.

FWIW, if you don't order from them very often, shipping is less punitive than it used to be. I thought about ruining the end of my Memphis vacation for Ikea, and it turned out there was no need.

1. Make sure your carrier antispam is turned on 2. Find out what antispam your handset offers (definitely helps on my Pixel and it seems like my IPhone is also receiving less spam lately) 3. If you work in an office and your job is not answering the landline, unplug that sucker.

When I was looking for shingles info, there were plenty of perfectly good sources, yet the unasked-for hallucination machine posited a fake article in a real journal with a fake stat about a real effect. Why do they vomit bad info on the first pass? It's one thing to run them down; this isn't that.

Oh, that's *rough*. My mom bruised the everliving crap out of her back, close enough to the lumbar spine that she couldn't walk. She almost immediately turned up with suspected shingles emanating from the same spot,.so I had to look it up.

Liquid sauce as opposed to, like, ramen powder. I remember Suddenly Salad came with a spice mix that you had to mix into oil. Maybe there were contemporary pasta kits that required canned tomatoes?

Guys. I am not a quant person but even I know that pushing a sub sample of a larger phone poll from early in June with a 0.8% response rate, where no one who ignores unlabeled numbers on their cellphone responded, tells you nothing about the electorate. Stop letting bad polls drive your politics.

Hey caretakers/adult children: TIL that shingles can be triggered by an injury.

I've never heard this mentioned by anyone. It was documented in JAMA as far back as 1947.
