  Me during a vasectomy:

  Doc: “We can talk while I’m working if it makes you more comfortable”

  Me: 📱"Nope"

  Outdoor propane burner ftw! That was my go to before I had to get a new stovetop. My induction top gets the pressure canner up to temp pretty quick, so it’s the best option for me now.

  Botulism.

  And I don’t have enough space in my freezer for as many jars of sauce I make every year. I need them to be shelf stable, and that requires canning, and pressure canning is faster and more consistent than deep water bath canning.

  $2.17 pfft.

  Pack of 50 good tomato seeds: $3.50. Bag of manure: $10. String for tying up the plants: $2. Sticks to tie them up to: found in the yard. Water: no idea. Plant 30 seeds, get 20 plants big enough to transplant. Grow a pithy 5lbs of tomatoes from each plant in your first year because you don’t know what you’re doing. 100lbs tomatoes, would be $5/lb at the store (and don’t taste as good), $500 - $15.50 = $485 savings, less water costs.

  Same set up in the next year, less seed costs (you kept yours right?), $50 in steel pipe to trellis the tomatoes to, few hours of YouTube University, and look at that, twice the yield. Now you have to buy some ball jars and a pressure canner ($100). $1000 - $162 = Still $838 ahead. And you now have fresh jarred tomatoes for the whole year.

  I tell my kids to complement people’s choices not their looks. Works both for friends and for romantic interests, though the latter you can graduate to complementing looks once you have a solid base.

  Burping and farting tiny, but if we’re talking gasses and changing weight, the vast majority of the mass you lose from fat when you lose weight actually comes out in your breath.

  If you’ve got your cute lil kid in that cart then the meme holds up

  Nah. Power is just the potential to do work. Clever electrical engineering just takes advantage of the teensy pushes and pulls to do that work. Like pushing a swing, I don’t move but my kid sure can go high when I apply those pushes and pulls at the right time.

  Also not a doctor but glucometers can be cheap, not that scary, and answer exactly this question.
