I triple check all the food in the house because my mom and I both have intense and different food allergies. I spend a lot of time on here and elsewhere online learning about cross-reactivity to keep an eye on. Apparently I missed the memo that someone with banana allergies and tree nut allergies usually cross-reacts to coconut. I made a curry with coconut milk for dinner a couple weeks ago which made my mom sick, resulting in colitis and other complications. She’s home safe now but it was a mess.

Sharing the mistake here to save others.

We have a bunch of unflavored electrolyte water right now. Has anyone tried making their cold brew with it?

Any audiodramas with the same quirt, dawning horror as season 1 of The Terror? I do like the claustrophobic isolation and the cold but those aren’t necessary. Already listened to The White Vault several times, and This House Will Devour You.

My HP laptop case is bowin up on one corner. I’m a bit concerned it’s a battery ballooning but I can’t get the case off or see what’s going on in there. Model number is 8YK85AV. The battery doesn’t slide out separately like with previous laptops I’ve used. Any ideas?

Stumbled into a beautiful FP today and when I got it home the carriage doesn’t advance. I played around until I got the magic margins to unlock, but the ribbon still doesn’t move and the carriage doesn’t advance when typing. Draw band seems fine and the ribbon reverse didn’t do anything. I does have the correct Royal standard spools. What’s my next step?

I’ve been without Docs for a bit since my last pair died an ignominious death. Thinking about using elastic laces on the next pair and curious if anyone has advice/experience with it.

I have a very high instep and am prone to swelling, so thinking this might cut down on the constant adjustment of laces.

Also, last time I used a straight bar lacing method (per Ian’s Shoelace Site) but they adjustment was tricky. Recommendations?
