  • I'm pretty sure that Business Insider is known to not be a very legitimate news source. Whether they run conservative, liberal or other, I don't know because I don't normally read it. I appreciate that you posted the link with a very well thought out and rational commentary. I am only commenting to state my opinion that it is probably best for anyone viewing Business Insider links with a grain of salt as you have done since they might not be impartial.

  • It's not entirely about demand. They screwed over their supplier and that's a lot of it. You can buy from underwood ranch directly for $10/bottle plus shipping and they have it in stock so that tells me it isn't just that jalapenos are unavailable. Maybe jalapenos are only unavailable to Huy Fong because nobody wants to sign a contract to grow for them.

  • I've tried it and it's not exactly the same but I'm also not incredibly picky and liked it. There are also other brands of Sriracha in the store I shop at not so I'm just going to buy those. I don't want to support Huy Fong (or however it's spelled) specifically after what I heard about how they did underwood dirty. I mean if I find it at the store and it's a good price I'll buy it because this isn't one of those social issues I need to be 100% principled on but I'm not going out of my way to get it.

  • It would not work for grocery shopping or sticking to the fridge like your idea, but I bought a blank recipe book and I've been writing in recipes I like with whatever modifications I make so it's the version of the recipe I like and it's great. I don't need to do a meal plan though because I just meal prep one thing for the whole week.

  • I meal prep on Sunday but I'm also ok with eating the same thing 4 or 5 days in a row. If you aren't ok with that then meal prepping is going to be a lot more work. I also strongly suggest making extra and freezing some in individual portions so if you do run out of food, or just really aren't digging what you made, you can grab something out of elthe freezer.

    And let's not underestimate the power of making your own frozen junk food. Like frozen burritos? Make a pile of burritos (which is great because you can put exactly what you like and make them healthier) then wrap them individually in tin foil and freeze. Make a frozen pizza in a square casserole dish and freeze pieces. Lasagna also freezes really well. It's a lot of work up front but it will keep for months so you have something easy to grab when you want it.

    You can also precut things like vegetables if you will want to eat veggies later in the week, or if you'll want to cook something fresh later but know you won't do it if you have to spend a lot of time on it.

  • Well, each major insurer that leaves makes the state more undesirable for everyone that's left. Each one of these insurers had their share of the "bad" business and now the ones who are left have to sift through the applicants to try to figure out who is safe to insure and who is going to cost them their ability to continue doing business. So with every insurer that leaves, those undesirable risks who pushed them out end up more and more concentrated with the other carriers. I would expect to see more and more of this.

  • Anybody voting for GOP should really consider whether they want to live in FL because if they have their way the entire country will be exactly like FL. "Oh but MY representatives will only do the things that are good." No, they won't. That isn't how they operate.

  • Typically when an insurer exits a state they either nonrenew the policies, meaning that you have coverage until the end of the policy period, or they stop writing new business but keep their renewals. Neither one of those constitutes taking the money and running. It's so weird that people would see it that way.

  • Seriously though? They bought Bethesda and look what they're doing there. Now they get to add another massive developer as if they weren't already ridiculously huge? This monopoly stuff has to end. I don't just mean gaming either. Like 5 companies control our entire food supply. There can only be one internet provider in any area. It's insane.

  • Trashy romance novels, particularly fantasy or occult (I normally read sci Fi and fantasy so this is the "I want to read but I can't focus" side of that). Are they well written? Uh, no. Are they entertaining and easy? Yep.

  • I've never eaten a peanut or peanut butter that I thought tasted bitter, and it definitely wouldn't go rancid after 1 day, although if it's the kind of PB with oil on top you should refrigerate it after you open it. But is it possible it was old, expired and already rancid when you bought it? If most people don't eat peanut butter where you are, it could have sat on the shelf for a long time and went bad.

    If you didn't like it then there's no reason to torture yourself by trying to like it, but if you do want to try again, get another brand and see if you still think it's bitter. Make sure to check the date on it too to make sure it's fresh. That just doesn't sound right so it sounds like something was wrong with that jar. I'm saying this as someone who has eaten a lot of different kinds of peanut butter and liked them all lol ;)

  • It depends what kind of peanut butter. Anything labeled 'natural' should not have any sugar added and should literally just be peanuts and salt. It should have a layer of oil on top that you have to stir in. If the peanut butter is not labeled 'natural' or does not have a layer of oil on top it's pretty much guaranteed to have a lot of sugar added. The kind with sugar is much more common.

  • I have 2 cats.. They live inside and seem happy to me. My sister used to let her cats out and was calling my boyfriend near daily to come deal with some small animal they had killed. One day it was a bunny. We have 3 pet bunnies, also indoors, also seemingly happy. That frickin upset him so much so that was the end of it. I told her he couldn't clean up any more dead animals for her and she would need to keep them inside or handle it herself. She has had them indoors now for over a year and it was a tough transition but they seem fine now.
