Spaghetti aglio e olio. Sounds fancy yet it could not be simpler. Cook spaghetti or linguine or my favourite angel hair pasta. Meanwhile peel and slice garlic. Heat good quality EVOO in a pan and when the pasta is nearly ready toss in the garlic (I also like to add in sliced red chilli). Once garlic starts turning light golden toss in the pasta with a little bit of the pasta water and mix together. Serve sprinkled with shaved parmesan and some finely chopped parsley, oregano, marjoram or any green herb of choice for a little bit of colour (optional). Nice crusty garlic bread on the side and for a couple of bucks and 20 minutes of your time you’re sure to impress anyone.

That could be battery optimisation of the recipients phone.

If I remember correctly, it used to be a thing here in Australia, but I’ve not heard of it for a decade or more.

And you actually believe what you’re saying?

Do you know how they finance their campaigns? Do you think that your concerns outweigh one of the campaign donations they get? If you multiply your concerns by 130k it still won’t match a single donation from a corporate donor in their interest.

What?! Why would you need to cut up fecal matter? Cut the shit man!

I fully get you. It’s just that it’s a couple more things to carry and worry about getting wet. I’m learning to draw so I try to carry a sketchbook (A5), a pencil and an eraser, but it bulks up my EDC to the point where I need a bag. Then there’s the other problem, where when I write something down I remember it, which after awhile convinces me that I don’t need to write stuff down.

I believe that is the only place I learned about tourniquets in first aid cert. In that case you can use a shirt and a piece of stick. I’m doubtful of “hours without further damage” though. They definitely have their place but for understandable reasons they’re not recommended for regular first aid.

What’s a poop knife?

I can join your smaller niche of ex-boyfriends. In fact I already consider you my ex.

I wonder what “other” is.

User name checks out.

But why? I can type on my phone.

A shoe horn is the ultimate in little things that make your everyday life heaps better.

There’s a great video about why it isn’t widespread in the US on YouTube by Technology Connections.

Last few times I did my first aid certificate I was taught not to use tourniquet; in fact it wasn’t taught at all. I guess in most situations it makes sense not to use it, in situations where it would make sense to use it I would not have first aid kit handy.

Sorry, my reply was just a quick reaction trying to highlight that neither dems nor reps fight for their voters.

I just wrote the first party other than the dems or reps that I could think of, because I know that neither the former or latter fight for what their voters want.

True, it could be worse. I could be German.

I don’t think the Greens will win though.

Beer.

A knife can cut onion, that’s an upside. A knife can cut my finger, that’s a downside. How do we make a knife that can cut onion but not my finger?
