Slop Casserole, Here We Come

Jim Bauer @porwest (98579) • United States 16 Mar

This may turn some stomachs, and I get it completely. But I am telling you this will, nonetheless, be good eats. There is no doubt in my mind. As some might say, "Folks, this isn't my first rodeo." I diced up some onion...

Yuki Sounds delicious in theory, but all that dairy would certainly have my stomach turning itself inside out. Ah, well. More for you to enjoy, right?

When people become a nuisance while on the road

Anish Asokan @RevivedWarrior (3733) • India 9 Mar

I was driving in the National Highway yesterday, driving close to 50km/hr. It was a two-way road due to some renovation. All of a sudden, I see two people coming at good speed in a scooter trying to overtake a bus and I had to...

Yuki I get to work and my kids' schools by taking one of the state highways that goes through my town. The speed limit is 45mph (a bit over 72kph) but it used to be 55mph/88.5kph. They lowered it almost 20 years ago now, but everybody still drives like the...

Are some of us going to be messing with our clocks tomorrow morning?

The Horse @TheHorse (224949) • Walnut Creek, California 8 Mar

I think I read somewhere that Daylight Savings Time comes back where I live (California) at 2 AM tonight. I think that means 2 AM becomes 3 AM in an instant. Do you like Daylight Savings time? I could give a rat's ass about it....

Yuki We don't observe Daylight Savings Time in my state, so it's not something I've ever had to think about. It only really affects us when we're dealing with people or organizations in places that do observe it... so I have to wait an extra hour on certain Tuesday...

Unable to download a specific research journal

Rimps @Rimps85 (2431) • India 9 Mar

My entire Sunday is ruined, I had earlier shortlisted 5 research journals for my PhD's Literature Review. Out of which I already downloaded 3 of them, but for some weird reason, I don't have any access to rest 2 papers, which...

Do you have a favorite cooking oil?

The Horse @TheHorse (224949) • Walnut Creek, California 1 Mar

I bought some (unsalted) butter yesterday at Safeway. I used to cook my morning eggs yesterday and today. It added a bit of flavor, and I liked it. But my default oil for the last several years has been olive oil. I like the...

Yuki Virgin and extra virgin are grades of olive oil. Extra virgin is the highest and has a lower acidity, virgin has some defects and higher acidity than extra virgin. They're both unrefined; if it's refined, it's just "olive oil," although sometimes the bottles...

Things that make me wonder...why?

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (42272) 24 Feb

I don't live far from a nearby grocery. Whenever I go there, I often see this car, that is parked in the employee part of the parking lot, so evidently whoever drives this thing, works there. Have to wonder...why would you do...

Do you drink plant based milk?

snowy @snowy22315 (187045) • United States 22 Feb

I have liked the ones I have tried, but unless you get one that is very creamy, they are not good to use in coffee as they just don't have the fat content Also, I don't like them in certain things because they alter the taste a...

Yuki My husband has a curry recipe that calls for coconut milk. Aside from that, we don't really get plant-based milks. We usually have a half gallon of regular cow's milk and a half gallon of the lactose-free stuff on hand because my husband and oldest kid are...

Have you encountered this scam?

The Horse @TheHorse (224949) • Walnut Creek, California 21 Feb

Police officer in Arizona rescues a woman who was inside of a burning auto

George B Vieto @Deepizzaguy (108141) • Lake Charles, Louisiana 21 Feb

Chandler Police Officer Brian Larison with the assistance of an off-duty firefighter worked together to rescue a woman who was driving a pickup truck that was on fire when a cement mixer hit the pickup truck from behind on Tuesday...

Yuki I saw the dashcam video of this earlier. It was absolutely wild how quickly that pickup caught fire after the cement truck hit it. The really amazing thing is that the officer doesn't usually take that route to work in the morning... he just made a split...

No Water

Amber @AmbiePam (96770) • United States 21 Feb

Last night around 5pm our water was turned off. Of course, I tried to reach someone about when it would be turned back on as this was unexpected. At about 8pm we got a text from the complex telling us the water would be turned off...

Yuki Oh, that's so frustrating. I hope they make getting the broken pipe(s) fixed a priority and get your water turned back on in a reasonable amount of time. A few years back there were a bunch of ongoing problems with the sewer lines in our half of the complex....

It Won't Charge

popciclecold @popciclecold (39938) • United States 17 Feb

Have you ever had a phone to just stop charging. No matter what you do it just won't charge. I have done all I could do. But the worst is I am being billed for the phone. I think I should call and ask them what I should do,...

Yuki I see it happen pretty frequently. Sometimes it's just that the charging port has collected enough debris in it that the AC adapter connector won't fully connect. Usually if that's the case we're able to remove the debris in it with a thin pair of tweezers...

Another fatal plane crash? Are you kidding me?

The Horse @TheHorse (224949) • Walnut Creek, California 10 Feb

A mobile washing machine

Judy Evans @JudyEv (349710) • Rockingham, Australia 10 Feb

Yuki I had one of these a bit more than 10 years ago, although it was the Laundry Alternative's Wonder Wash. At the time we were living in an apartment where we didn't have on-site laundry, so we'd have to go to the laundromat. We ended up buying it after I had our...

What Drops in Your State for New Years?

celticeagle @celticeagle (172575) • Boise, Idaho 31 Dec

Many states have a drop like they do in Times Square in New York. Like the peach in Georgia. Here in Idaho we have "GlowTato" that is dropped at the state capitol on New Year's Eve here in Boise. So what drops in your state?

Yuki Some of the drops here include a boot, a pinecone, and a taco. Apparently the pinecone drop made USA Today's list of top 10 drops in the country along with GlowTato this year!

Fed Up With Fed Ex Deliveries: How's the Deliveries in YOUR Area?

Kareng @kareng (71515) • United States 17 Dec

Have you ever been fooled by the green (or reddish) CONTINUE button?

The Horse @TheHorse (224949) • Walnut Creek, California 23 Apr

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (122144) • United States 24 Mar 24

It’s baby carrot day in the cafeteria

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (122144) • United States 20 Mar 24

Yuki I'm sorry. It seems entirely too many administrators simply don't carrot all unless things directly affect them. You just know that they would have already put an end to it if they'd been the one(s) pelted with carrots, not the custodian.
