As Cooks Illustrated figured out, one of the best parts of carnitas are the little browned bits. Their recipe is a slow cook, but then they get the browned bits by kind of smooshing the pork chunks a bit and sticking them under the broiler for a few. I’d link to their recipe, but it seems to be currently behind a…

Known in econ circles as the winner’s curse. Happens in any auction—the person willing to pay the most (subsidize the most) has probably overpaid because no one else, presumably, thinkks it is worth that much.

For the record, no, not employed by an ISP, much less Comcast, who I’ve hated for longer than you’ve probably been alive. Also point out that you’re engaged in an ad hominen attack, which is generally recognized as a tool of someone lacking an argument. Take on the issue, not the proponent.

You should run a search on “adblocker” on LH. It isn’t like they haven’t done their part to popularize the use of that technology and haven’t spent a lot of time discussing the evils of various ad practices. That all said, I’m too lazy to use an adblocker, so I guess I’m supporting them by ignoring their advice?

When you say “Comcast shenanigans,” are you referred to Netflix arguing Comcast throttled it when in reality Cogent—who was one of Netflix’s transit providers—selectively throttled the traffic in what appears to be an effort to make Comcast look like a bad actor (see here)? There’s a lot of ways to reach fucked up…

Networks outside your ISP can prioritize (or deprioritize) video. And that wouldn’t tell you if there is a problem with a specific streamer, which is what is implied in the article.

How do these apps decide that a speed differential is attributable to your ISP engaging in throttling, as opposed to routing or transit differences outside of your ISP’s network?

This is an awesome idea. Thank you!

Was going to say that most gyms I’ve been to seem to have either on line forums for members or bulletin board for people looking for climbing partners. And I’ve also found that boulderers tend not to do routes and vice versa, so hanging out in the bouldering area never really worked for me.

I still think the best recipe is from the folks at Modernist Cuisine (here). 240 g of macaroni, boiled al dente. Combine 265 g milk with 11 g sodium citrate, then add in 285 g cheese. Will not break or get grainy because sodium citrate is a much, much better emulsifier than bechamel (even with mustard).

FWIW, also in stock at the Lego store, which earns you some Lego VIP points and gets you a free little dragster too...

May I introduce you to the butter boat? Works wonders for keeping butter tasting fine and staying spreadable on the counter (for more than two days, although I do use salted butter).

Interesting. But as most people are not experts at determining whether a particular piece of stuff in their mailbox has correct postage (or valid bulk mail permits, whatever), seems like an odd basis for liability. I’ll stick with my current policy, which is 3rd class mail gets pitched, regardless of who it is…

You might check with your local neighborhood listserv or whatever—if it is happening to you, might be happening to others. In which case you might be able to instigate a group complaint that has less chance of rolling back to bite you personally.

...it’s not illegal to personally forward mail to the correct address as long as the mail has proper postage...

If you want to up your game on how they look, you can also look at tea-staining them... See, e.g., https://www.saveur.com/article/Recipes/chinese-tea-eggs

FWIW, I actually remember commenting in the Gina Trapani days of LH.

But I was offering a different perspective precisely for the purpose of demonstrating that there may be other perspectives, not writing an article broadly titled “How to Actually Use Your Reusable Grocery Bags.”

There’s plenty of people I see everyday in the grocery store—the majority of them, in fact—that seem to have a problem using them.

When your article is titled “How to Actually Use Your Reusable Grocery Bags,” it might not be self-evident that you’ve decided to address a very narrow problem, as opposed to writing from a narrow perspective.
