True, but I find pool noodles are better for some things than those. The fatter slightly denser foam works better in planters, boots, and massage. But those pipe wraps are handy too.

Reply to LPT: boil rice until it’s almost fully cooked, drain, then return to pan, cover and steam on low heat for 10 mins. Tastes much better than boiling, draining and serving. by circumlocutious

Uncle roger not approve

Oh boy! I try to combat it when I’m working by having a big water cup (32oz-er beer mug from an old festival) and if I don’t drink it down at least 3x in the day, I try to chase a catch up before I go to bed.

Why wouldn't I just drink from the 40 oz double walled stainless steel tumbler that is never more than a few feet away from me?

Cut one in half vertically with a box cutter and tape it around the corner to prevent wall/corner damage when you're moving big and heavy item around that area.

I like to bake, because then you can eat your sadness when you're done.

...or, I suppose, gift them to someone else, because that feels good.

Amazing how many have no idea about arsenic in their rice. Thank you for bringing awareness. This reminds me of radon, how little the gen pop actually realizes this is a "thing"

What? I need to test for radon in my basement?
