Does anyone know where I can find a 12 x 12 or slightly smaller microfiber towel with a carabiner/clip?

Most fishing bait towels with clips are 16 x 16, this is too long and hangs down too low getting soaked in the water when clipped to my kayak seat.

So far I have only been able to find waffle style, I want plush microfiber and preferably not too heavy (under 40” gsm.) I’m not entirely sure why this is so hard to find, I can’t see any application where 16 x 16 is preferable and they’re everywhere.

Why do they not make many small serving dishes that are double wall insulated for things like a side of queso?

I’m finding the selection limited to non existent. I’ve found double wall insulated bowls but they are mostly way too large (7” diameter) and the thermoses are all too deep and narrow for dipping.

I suppose you could argue this is sort of a niche thing, but it’s almost impossible to eat white queso quickly enough without it hardening or getting cold. I microwave it 2-3 times per meal

I made this chili recipe following it to a T with one small exception, yet somehow came out with half of the quantity it said it yields

I’m not a big fan of kidney beans, but everything else I included in exact amounts. Yet the end result was 5 cups instead of 10, how is this possible? I simmered it exactly as long as she said. One 14.5 oz can of beans does not account for 5 cups.

EDIT- I meant kidney beans!

Do you find chili better with 50% sausage or straight chuck?

I am considering going 50/50 and I’m sure flavor will be good just worried about texture. Will I compromise the soft, tender juicy texture if I mix sausage in?

Best way to bond Kevlar to HDPE?

Trying to adhere a Kevlar keel guard to my kayak, 3M 5200 & VHB tape not holding. I understand HDPE is very low surface energy but there has to be a way. Drilling for mechanical fastening not an option as I’m trying to PREVENT holes not add them. Thanks!

I attempted to make Mexican rice, but I either added too much water or made the mistake of stirring/breaking when I added cumin, it is all clumpy

I put it in the oven for about 10 minutes to absorb some of the moisture, but it is still very sticky and clumpy. It tastes great, but I understand this is not proper. Will it still freeze well? I suppose the moisture and sticky texture is my biggest concern. I am going to be almost exclusively, using it and tacos, burritos, and as a side dish with other Mexican recipes.

Do you get bothered by people who wear too much fragrance?

Everywhere I go I encounter at least one person who has a suffocating amount of cologne/perfume on. I think it is incredibly rude and inconsiderate to impose a strong fragrance on everyone in a closed space, regardless of the reason (“desensitized” etc.) I have had to change seats at bars/restaurants because of it.

What is the smallest and least expensive “monocular” or binoculars you can get for kayak camping/fishing of quality?

Would like to keep it under $150 if possible. Would be using to see other kayakers/bank fishermen in the distance as well as animals, birds or potentially dangerous riffles.

Louis CK is the best standup in history, and it’s not even close. The fact that people are afraid to acknowledge this because of that bullshit overblown scandal is pathetic, meanwhile girls swoon over CHRIS BROWN

He is better than the best, and I have many favorites including Carlin, Norm, Dangerfield, Tosh & Attell. He has a natural comedic presence, delivery and uniquely creative wealth of material that no other comedian has ever had, and likely never will.

Yet no one talks about this, because cancel culture has clipped the nuts and rotted the brains of America. Meanwhile women openly lust for Chris Brown after beating the DOG SHIT out of a woman. It’s fucking retarded and pathetic.

DEI casting and forced inclusivity are creating division and resentment that previously didn’t exist, this is either deliberate or just idiotic.

There have always been bigots, but over the last decade we have seen an unprecedented uptick in public disapproval of overcorrection and black washing. These are largely people who were previously neutral or even left leaning on civil rights.

DEI fatigue is now so widespread it’s become satirical, reflected in meme culture and creating an entirely new population of people who had no reason to harbor any sort of resentment to be fed up.

To be clear, this has ZERO to do with “ruining the story/character” and everything to do with people’s distaste for being patronized and force fed propaganda. Obviously it certainly DOES sabotage engagement when you’re watching a historical film with a completely miscast person, but this isn’t the main culprit.

It is incredibly tacky when comedians respond to hecklers in the comments under their videos, it makes them look so bad

I haven’t seen a disturbing number of relatively established stand-up, going through the comments under their videos responding to multiple hecklers, usually without any sort of witty retort. They typically engage with them as if it was some casual encounter, often making them look butthurt and insecure.

I can’t believe some of these people are attempting a career and show business and don’t have anyone telling them not to do this. Don’t these entertainers have agents or publicists?

Reddit is unusually hostile toward and censors men venting their frustrations with the current dating market, and I think we all know why

Leftists seem to hate inconvenient truths, as evidenced by their censorship of literally anything that goes against their just world narrative.

Men all over the world have become increasingly aware of how bad dating has become, yet it is almost entirely forbidden to discuss on here. Every red pilled or men’s space has been ultimately banned, despite the vast majority of the discussion being benign support. Meanwhile FDS, one of the most vile and hate-filled echo chambers on the internet stands strong.

But back to the original subject, men are experiencing historic levels of lonliness. All signs point to social media and online dating skewing the market in favor of a few men. Why is this forbidden to acknowledge?

I think it’s clear that although it is CLEARLY NOT ALL WOMEN, a large number have developed insanely ridiculous and delusional standards.

This is the worst time in history for quality of almost every art form - music, movies, comedy, even television (other than dramatic/suspense series)

Music - rock is dead, hip hop is on life support (dominated by pill head trap music with zero variety or substance compared to even 10 years ago.) Country has improved marginally with mainstream artists returning to the roots of the genre and incorporating bluegrass & folk but still more of an exception to the rule.

Comedy is at an all time low, most standups (like musicians) are of the reality TV variety. A handful are great, very few of them are up and coming or under 50. SNL is atrocious, I’m not sure how it’s still on. There are zero sitcoms left, only ultra serious dramatic or suspense series which those are good, but when you consider that is what replaced movies it sort of ruins it.

Which takes me to the most prominent example: the film industry is in the absolute gutter. I am truly shocked at how bad it has gotten, very few good films being made.

I have tried killing the apps, deleting and reinstalling etc. How is this acceptable on a brand new iPhone, the latest and greatest leading smartphone??

I find myself having to reboot my phone occasionally too when things aren’t loading, should I really be having to do this?
