Also great for whisking if you don't have or can't find a real whisk.

Cut of the top of the pomegranate to see where the white "walls" between the five sections are, then cut through the skin vertically along those walls. The fruit can now be pulled apart easily into five sections that are much easier to handle so you can strip the arils from the pith gently without breaking them.

Eating green salads with chopsticks is a game-changer.

The best way to eat grapefruit is not with a spoon: rather, cut it into wedges across the segments then stick the whole wedge in your mouth and pull the flesh out from between the tough interstitial fibers with your teeth.

Doesn't even have to impact. The gravity of other bodies in orbit will pull out-of-plane objects closer to the plane over time.

Like most technology, it's not the thing itself, but what we do with it. Making sterile seeds that destabilize food production for the sake of ensuring yearly profits? Booooo. Making drought-resistant crops? Yay!

Mattress, about five years. Towels, every decade or so.

Just keep the ones you have clean with regular washing, and they don't wear out that fast.

One of my friends and mentors did that. I used to nanny for her twins and they've grown up to be bright, ambitious, adventurous young women. I'm proud to know them.

Honestly, it's made us both more determined to put the work into our relationship. Fourteen years together now and going strong.

The best one I've found (though I'll check out HPF, thanks!) is Bullet Journal. Not any of the fancy add-ons, just the original, Carrol-method rapid logging. The idea of migration, mindfully and manually taking all undone tasks and deciding if they really need done or can be discarded, is one of the best features, and one that's so often missing from digital tools.

I also appreciate that it's more-or-less time-agnostic, and that note-taking is just as much a part of rapid logging as tasks organization is. The only frill I use is the Final Version Perfect system of priority discovery, which seamlessly fits into the basic bujo methodology.

I just took a trip and the estimated arrival time assumed I would drive 15mph over the limit without stopping the whole way.

Personally, I scream for icecream.

Got my first XP just now as two piks who had been already journeying for their decor before the update returned. I got 200xp for each of them fetching decor, and 20XP for releasing one. When I'm able to level one I'll try to record that number as well.

Edit: Sorry, just realized it's not levelling but pulling them from the seed pots that gives XP — seems to be 30 but I may have lost track.
