This is true. A moose once bit my sister.

Don't forget abortion.

Sorry, too busy. I need to optimize the ROI of that piece of dirt you are standing on so I can increase the value of my derivative trades before the second quarter stockholder meeting.

I learned from America's Test Kitchen to look at the ingredients. If the first ingredient is tomato paste or tomato concentrate, pass. If it is tomatoes, it will probably be fine. Although usually this means a more expensive jar, there are plenty of expensive/fancy looking jars that don't pass this test.

That said, Del Grosso's has a premium line with "Aunt Mary Anne's Marinara". It is our go-to and far and away the best I've tried.

Sprinkle some salsa and sour cream on it before you bake. I know it sounds weird, but it is so good.

I don't know what the building codes / rules are where you live, but where I live (in the US), there is supposed to be a smoke detector in every bedroom. Newer code also requires them to be hardwired so 1) no batteries to change and 2) if one goes off, they all go off.

I put kiddie z-wave enabled smoke/CO detectors throughout the house, including one in every bedroom. They are linked into a monitored alarm system (abode), but that is mainly for keeping track of things when we are not at the house, and I m going to eventually switch to home assistant.

Since the main ones are already wired in, you could probably add at least the dumb smoke and CO detectors to every room for extra peace of mind.

The last 'r' is cropped on my phone, so I was parsing it as boner-aise, which makes wildly inappropriate sense.

Independence Day. That shot of the White House being obliterated was amazing at the time.

This feels like "the ultra wealthy have already squeezed all the money they can out of the poor and lower middle class, so now they are starting to cannibalize the merely wealthy."

I know the wealthy don't see this directly, but if it keeps the machinery of government running so they can continue to benefit and they can mine it out through subsidies and backroom graft.

I am not saying that these millionaires shouldn't get targeted for not paying their taxes, but the IRS should start at the top and work their way down.

I remember back in the 90's seeing news stories about the Taco Bell Doritos War in Iraq.

That is one of those right angle bolts for getting into tight places. Hang onto it because they cost about $15 each new. It is specially made to transfer the torque from the head around the 90 degree bend. Just line it up with the nut, slap a driver on there and go to town. I promise, it will be amazing and nothing bad will happen.
