  • This used to be me, but I put a hook by the door where I handle my bag back up after I’ve unloaded it. I rarely go to the grocery on impulse though, so I’m always making a dedicated trip and leaving from my house, and the routine of it finally sank in. I highly recommend an extra large tote with stiff sides. I can typically fit an entire shopping trip in there for our family of 3 and just sling it over my shoulder







  • but also have to be weary of the fact that some of them are just posing and scamming.

    The amount of people doing this is infinitesimal compared to the actual homeless population. This is basically a right-wing talking point to undercut empathy with people who are experiencing homelessness.

    Also you should never feel bad for not giving a panhandler money, but if you feel called to do more, just find an organization to volunteer with. There are people facing homelessness right now or in the near future in every urban and rural area in the US

    This looks great! I’ve been making chili crunch, which seems similar but the order is different. I fry shallots in avocado oil until crispy, and remove them, then fry garlic in the same oil and remove them. I put all the spices and chiles in a giant bowl, heat the oil to 375°F, then pour it over the spices and mix. After it cools, chop the fried shallots and garlic and add them back in. This has turned out amazing. My recipe also includes a good amount of chopped peanuts, and I use dried guajillo, pasilla, and morita peppers because I want it more flavorful than spicy. The Szechuan peppercorns are essential to getting the right flavor though




  • Towin Mak, a representative from the educator center that owned the robot, explained to TDM that the incident happened as the robot was leaving the area. The woman stopped in the middle of the walkway to check her phone, and because the robot couldn’t get around, it simply waited behind her, he claimed. That’s when she noticed the robot with its lights on, startling her, given the late hour.

    If I discovered a robot standing silently behind me on the street, I would also have a lil’ freakout
