What can i take to drink less caffeine?
  • Melatonin helps me sleep the first four or so hours, then Zyrtec helps with the last four. You can take the Zyrtec any time since it's a 24 hrs pill, but I try to take mine around bedtime. They don't make me groggy or anything during the day, and they even help with mosquito bites!

    Edit: Also Costco sells a year's supply for the cost everyone else sells a month's worth.

  • Authentic Texas recipe
  • I often make a veggie chili with lentils, quinoa, dal, carrots, jalapenos/serranos, and ground beef, but no beans. It's pretty good! Last few times, I tilted the seasoning very slightly east African.

  • My laptop hinge just ripped its screws right out.
  • Actually if you want a serious answer, I usually try to apply force as close to the hinge as possible when opening and closing the lid. This way the full length of the screen isn't acting as a lever multiplying the force on the relatively short span of the hinge mounting bracket.

    I definitely agree this is too common a problem not to be by design.

  • California socialite Rebecca Grossman sentenced to 15 to life for killing 2 kids in crosswalk
  • It really is a great apple! I've recently tried one for the first time. I can definitely recommend!

    Also the licky fingers thing doesn't bother me nearly as much as the people who dig their long, dirty fingernails into produce, and sometimes I don't notice until I've already brought it home.. Blehhh!

  • McCricket Protein Bowl

    **Me **

    Can you describe a potential new food item for a company like McDonald's that uses insect-derived proteins and would be marketed to Americans

    **Copilot **

    Absolutely, I'd be happy to help brainstorm a new food item for a company like McDonald's that incorporates insect-derived proteins. Given the increasing interest in sustainable and alternative proteins, I propose a new item called the "McCricket Protein Bowl". Here's a detailed description:

    McCricket Protein Bowl

    Ingredients:

    Cricket Flour Tortilla: A soft tortilla made from cricket flour, which is high in protein and has a subtle, nutty flavor.

    Black Beans: A hearty serving of black beans for added protein and fiber.

    Grilled Vegetables: A mix of grilled bell peppers and onions for a smoky flavor and added nutrition.

    Cricket Protein Chunks: Pieces of cricket protein that have been seasoned and cooked to perfection. They have a unique, savory flavor and a texture similar to grilled chicken.

    Avocado and Corn Salsa: A fresh salsa made from ripe avocados and sweet corn. This adds a creamy texture and a sweet contrast to the other ingredients.

    Chipotle Sauce: A smoky, spicy chipotle sauce that adds a kick to the bowl.

    Unique Selling Points:

    Sustainable: Cricket protein is a sustainable source of protein that requires less land, water, and food compared to traditional livestock.

    High-Protein: This bowl is packed with protein from both the cricket flour tortilla and the cricket protein chunks.

    Delicious: Despite using unconventional ingredients, this bowl is flavorful and satisfying, with a variety of textures and tastes that work well together.

    This new food item could appeal to adventurous eaters, those interested in sustainable food sources, and health-conscious consumers looking for high-protein options. It's a bold move that could put McDonald's at the forefront of the alternative protein trend. However, it's important to note that introducing insect-derived proteins to the American market would require careful marketing to overcome potential consumer hesitations.

    PROPOSAL: Make a rule banning jeans-related posts

    Encourage those impacted directly to create a new community so people can opt-in or out as desired. Please!

    Seriously though.. Is it the anniversary of the invention of the jeans or what? Is this an attack?

    EDIT: I can see I've made a fundamental error in the appraisal of this community. As I am newly old, I've resorted to the "get off my lawn" approach to a decidedly mild irritant. I will retract my proposal and agree to "live and let live."
