  • If it’s in a sealed plastic bag it doesn’t go stale until long after it would have molded on the counter. I refrigerate mine because I buy Costco sized sliced bread and it takes me 2 months to go through it. If you toast your bread, the staleness is unnoticeable

    A lot of these things only need to be refrigerated to preserve flavor, not to stop spoilage. If you go through a bottle of ketchup in 3 months there is little benefit to refrigerating it, if it takes 3 years for you to finish it, it should probably stay in the fridge.

    Some peanut butter brands require refrigeration to prevent mould. Others recommend it because it stops the oils from separating. Brands like Kraft don’t require any refrigeration at all

    Refrigerating oil will stop it from going rancid, but I’ve only ever needed to do this with used deep frier oil

    Honey is just a hell no in the fridge



  • Compared to a $20k hatchback, $60-80,000 SUVs are probably a lot more likely to:

    1. Get regular maintenance at the dealership (and get upsold on long term maintenance things without clear immediate benefits), vs the twice a year Jiffy lube treatment
    2. Get body work done if they are in a fender bender, vs just getting written off by insurance
    3. Be driven by older, more experienced and safer drivers
    4. Be stored in a garage, so the bottom of the car doesn’t rust out from road salt before they hit 200k miles




  • I didn’t enjoy running until I worked myself up to doing longer distances, like 8k+ runs - before then it was a painful chore I felt obligated to do, now I go stir crazy if I don’t get out for a run at least twice a week.

    That being said, even now, runs are a slog until I get into my groove, which happens around the ~3k or 15-20 minute mark, but once I get there I’m happy to keep going for another 10-20k

    You mention going by time and not distance - I assume you are on a treadmill? Personally I can’t stand treadmills, it’s monotonous, and there isn’t as much air movement around you, so it’s harder to thermoregulate.
