Not an expert in Eastern religions, but it looks more like Shinto or even Hindu than Buddhist.

NGL, you had me in the first half

The burden of good taste is always knowing that nobody you met will ever know what the fuck you’re talking about when it comes to music.

It’s less of an issue with true hardwood like maple. For all the talk of bamboo dulling knives, I think it’s actually fairly soft in term of porosity.

But the place I always notice it is in pancakes, for whatever reason. My partner will make a big mess of pancakes for the kids on the weekends and stack then up on the cutting board, and if I grab one off the bottom of the stack, it very noticeably will taste of onions and herbs.

Good advice. It does depend on your environment, though. I live in the mountains where it’s super dry all the time, and we basically never get mold on anything. As long as it’s not literally dripping, I can put a cutting board away in a cupboard still wet and it will be bone-dry in an hour.

For real. Our bamboo cutting boards are ok, but after a few months of use we can only use them for savory dishes, because everything tastes like onions

Yeah, I put mine in 8.5 years ago, and with a large dog, 2 cats, and 3 kids, it’s held up remarkably well. The only problem I’ve run into is some of the tongue-in-groove connections have pulled apart over time creating small (maybe 1/4") gaps, but the planks themselves have been great. And frankly, that is probably a combination of installation error (by me) and us living in a pretty harsh environment with a huge number of freeze-thaw cycles and lots of snow every year (with a shitty insulation job in our crawlspace).

Is that treated/engineered bamboo laminate flooring? I think I have the exact same stuff from Home Depot.

I’m partial to Nazi Punks, Fuck Off, originally by the Dead Kennedys. Napalm Death does a great version, too, if you’re more into grindcore

“you know how you get to Carnegie Hall?”

I’m not saying that just because someone says you’re gay, you can’t correct them without being homophobic. I’m saying that the people that people that go out of their way to make sure everyone knows they’re not gay, who get offended at the idea of being mistaken for gay are acting homophobic.

I grew up in approximately the same era as you in a very conservative area, and yeah, there was a lot of homophobic behavior and slurs. But if someone asked if I was gay in this day and age, I think anything more than a quick correction is over-reacting.

But hey, that’s just my opinion; you’re welcome to yours. Have a good day friend!

And if they work that hard to make sure everyone knows they’re not gay, then bonus! You also found out that they’re homophobic.

I teach college chemistry, and half the time it’s to STEM majors that see the obvious applications, but the other half the time, my students are going into nursing or other “STEM-adjacent” fields and I try and try to get them to see that the applications are there, if they just look, but many of them never do.

You could be mixing up correlation and causation. The divorce could have happened for any number of reasons and the ensuing loneliness and alienation could have been what led the husband to seek validation in manosphere bullshit

That a ridgeback? Mix? She looks a lot like my (alleged) purebred

Edit: and Mt wife just got a kitten named Harley, too. Coincidences piling up

An old character actor who became somewhat relevant again when Family Guy referenced him and he voiced his own character, but then he turned out to be a racist piece of shit.

Especially back in the 80’s

This is really funny in retrospect, picturing a white male kid in an upper-middle-class (likely Midwestern) family saying this in the 80’s.

Calvin needs to get woke and acknowledge his privilege
