      This might change someone’s life: Instead of washing your spaghetti stained plastic container with a sponge or throwing it in the dishwasher, fill the container to maybe 30% full with hot tap water, add a couple pumps of dish soap, chuck in a paper towel, close the top, and shake. It’s honestly astonishing how effective that is.

      If I remember correctly, fats are very similar to plastics in molecular structure. The oils in pasta sauces get stained red, and in turn the oils like to hang on to the plastic, making them stained. It gets tricky to thoroughly wash all of the oils off the plastic because they want to stick together. One of the tricks I’ve heard to prevent staining is to spray plastic containers with regular non-stick pan spray before adding the pasta, so the clear non-stick spray oils sticks to the plastic before the stained pasta oils do.

      This is also why you can wash a plastic container and sometimes it still feels a little oily or takes finger prints easily.

      He does look strikingly similar to Ralph Fiennes as Voldemort, like this looks like the real guy Voldemort might have been based on, but I can’t tell if that’s really what his head looks like or if it’s just from photoshopping the hair out and accidentally shortening the forehead.

      aging graceful gives someone some gravitas. Trump looks like a comedy character in an drag show. if you were asking me who looks like the fascist tyrant of a major world power, I’ll assume the left due to strong man vibes.

      although a personal lesson for myself, I’ll look better by aging gracefully than falling for the bullshit of expensive products that promises to make me look younger but turn me into a clown. And yhea, I look better when gray peppered beard and when hair dye.
