I have a ton of nostalgia for Ledo’s but I avoid going back when I’m in town because I think it would ruin it. In terms of “DC Style Pizza” you’ll also hear people claim that the Adams Morgan jumbo slice is some sort of regional style, but this is really bullshit. And anyway, it’s not like DC has some historic…

Ledo’s is OK but would graduate to “good” if they could sort out their sauce. It’s too sweet!

I’ve never really used this technique for smaller peppers but I do use it for bell peppers. Makes quick work of it and you get flat pieces to chop, slice, etc without having to deal with the seeds.

Most manufacturers now make a screen protector that is made with a flexible glass similar to the glass your screen is actually made of. It is made of glass, for glass (as opposed to plastic films), and as I understand it usually is actually a layered set of a glass film, a plastic film, and an adhesive. They are…

Since when does McDonald’s have “malted” milkshakes? Is this a regional thing, like only some McDonalds having grits on the menu?

That’s my plan as it usually works fine and I’ve got some that have been sitting around in the freezer for a bit. Just add 50% to the cooking time here - I’m guessing a half hour to 45 minutes would do it.

Right, like how they talk about affordable small town living. As a black person, I am not interested in living in Trump country.

My husband and I are set to achieve FIRE status by the time we’re in our mid-40s. Out of the two of us, I’m the main driver of this goal. I’ve always been frugal (I saved for and bought my first townhouse when I was in my mid-20s and working in customer service), and have ensured that our lifestyle has always stayed…

Grapefruit juice in a can is still pure acid. I like it for punches and cocktails.

This is false, for no other reason than not everyone needs to do all the things you need to do. Not to mention some people prefer smaller form factor.

States were Alabama, Colorado, Georgia, Minnesota and 2 from Texas.

Your comment made me realize that, with all the bitching about Texas you hear from us non-Texans, nobody has a thing to say against Texas cooking.

Also consider long pepper (the original “pepper” - piper longum), which is a little hotter than black pepper and has notes of cardamom and allspice.

My niece (now 5) has flown regularly (2-3 times a year). Since she was old enough to eat them a bag of Gummies Bears as a treat and to help with take off and landing pressuring has been her trick. She also buys a new toy and downloads a new app so that there is something new and exciting to do on the flight. If you…

I might feel more strongly about this if the seat went back further than 5 degrees. But I’m just as uncomfortable as 85 degrees as I am at 90, so I leave it up.

Not on delta but on numerous flights I’ve seen people going to the bathroom while we are taxing before takeoff. Never seen it become an issue like this.

Yes on granite. Marble tends to be too smooth to be of any use with anything hard and dry, you end up mostly sliding over what you are trying to grind. Also, don’t buy a tiny mortar. Get the biggest one you have space for and can reasonably lift. A large pestle means the weight of the pestle itself does nearly all the…

MD and JD are Medical Doctor and Juris Doctor, not doctorates of M or J. That’s why the research doctorates outrank them.

Here is an article discussing how PhDs are about “advancing knowledge,” whereas professional degrees (in this case, MDs) are about “apply[ing] existing knowledge.” In the classroom setting, only those with PhDs (or equivalent) are automatically approved to teach doctoral and professional students. When in an applied…
