ETA: I love Jimmy Slonina.
C’mon almonds - Cashews are nasty.
Almonds must die!
Let’s go cashews clap clap clapclapclap!
I prefer cashews for eating (so, in something like a bowl of mixed nuts, I derive more pleasure from the cashews), but almonds have their place as ingredients or flavorings.
Nothing beats a handful of salted dry roasted almonds for an evening snack. They sate you, and they’re full of protein… and salt.
Save California water! Ban almond farming! 
I didn’t like cashews when I was a kid. I like them now, but they’re not my favorite. I’m always surprised that they seem to be the favorite of so many people.
Agreed. They taste chalky.
Except dry roasted cashews with some spice. Also yummy as a salad topper.
Pistachios v. macadamia is easy - pistachios all the way.
My ex wife was briefly an “outie” while pregnant. Afterwards it popped back in. Maybe common?
It’s like the indicator on a Butterball turkey telling you it’s done.
Ha, I’d forgotten that was our exact joke about the navel status. Her response was, “oh, god, I wish!” as she entered month 8.
I’m assuming that the surviving human population is spread around the planet, not evenly, but in little clumps: so that it’s neither that they’re all jammed in near me, nor that I’d have to hike some considerable distance to find one more solitary person, then another distance to find the next lone soul, and so on.
Though I expect that even if we didn’t start out in my arrangement, we’d wind up there fairly soon, presuming that the planet continues to have the same sort of habitable space.
I debated between not voting (because my answer is "don’t disappear people) and voting for the largest number. I ended up going with the largest. 1B people might be able to maintain our current society.
I do wear shoes (sandals) in the house, even in winter. I have a single fallen arch and have become an unsteady walker so I use a pair of that wonderful sandal, the Birkenstock, as my version of house shoes/slippers. I switch shoes at the entryway. One woman told me, without waiting for explanation, that it was a disgusting habit. The house sandals don’t get worn outside, but I find it much easier to move around the house with a sturdy arch-supporting floor for my feet. Not wearing them puts stress on my knees and hips.
What on earth did she think was disgusting about wearing house-shoes in the house? That’s one of the weirdest random bits of rudeness I’ve heard.
That’s why I said “without waiting for explanation”. I believe she thought that because they were actually street shoes, that meant I wore them everywhere and not just in my own home.
The house I grew up in is now over 100 years old, and it had a pretty typical cellar with a poured concrete floor and walls, but along one wall was a wooden door, and when you opened it there was a dug root cellar a bit like the one in this thread, but smaller and scarier - no lighting!
I voted for the 1B people just because it’s the largest number, but those would be the saddest billion people ever. Assuming it was random, odds are that few to none of my loved ones would be left with me.
I’ve never personally had a root cellar, but my grandfather’s house had one, and it was spooky.
The bath towels go into the laundry twice a week, so I’ll use a towel for three to four days. The bath mat gets washed once a week.
