Thanks for the response!  Might have to try this no stir risotto you speak of.  I make it somewhat frequently already but am always a bit deterred by the need to constantly stir.

In case one needs to storm a beach in their SUV.

I would assume that Cruise Ships have satellite based communications for when they are far out at sea. If not that, than a satellite based distress system. Or at the very least a single satellite phone for the Captain.

What really pisses me off is that you don’t need to take off your shoes in Europe.  God I hate the TSA.

Alright so you seem pretty informed. What are your top 5 things you make with consistency with a pressure cooker (IP or not)? I don’t need your recipe or anything just a list. Pressure cookers have always intrigued me due to cooking shows/competitions but they only seem to get used on those shows when they need to…

I was on a church trip one summer on our way to Montana. We stopped somewhere in South Dakota to use restrooms. Instead of waiting my turn for two 15 passenger vans full of people to use the bathroom I decided to piss between the two vans. Mid stream a highway patrolman came down the road approaching from the…

I once downloaded a torrent of all the “secret recipes” of chain restaurants. Finding out that the key to McDonald’s special sauce is a mix of (I believe equal parts) Hellman’s mayo and Miracle Whip came as quite the surprise.

The copying of the job template for his LinkedIn is really the icing on the cake here. How can you be this lazy as a professional writer? Was IGN his first job like this? Was he hired at IGN (unknowingly) on the merits of past plagiarism ?

I would think you’d actively avoid consuming other reviewers reviews to avoid exactly what this guy did.  

I love watching cars with bent frames going down the road.  They look like they are floating. 

I just looked through her instagram and there are at least 5 photos of them with private jets.  One has XOJETS on the side which is a jet broker.  So he doesn’t own but apparently made enough to afford being able to charter them.  Which pains me.

My parents have a 1989 2CV6 Club and it has 602cc from the factory. It’s hit 76 mph down a steep hill with a tailwind.

“It’s never a good time [to speak about this], whether I came out now or came out during a general election. It’s never going to be the ‘right time,’” Monahan said.

I’ve not yet.  It’s high on my list though, and these articles keeping feeding that desire more and more.

What explains the insane amount of cool cars in Tokyo (Japan at large?)?

God it’s horrifying to think (realize) that someone has definitely proposed at the WTC Memorial.  Ugh.

No they don’t. This was made most clear to me visiting the Mona Lisa (for the third time, first ‘94 then ‘01) last year. The first two times there was a sea of people moving from one side to the other, looking at the painting, taking a quick picture and moving on. This last time EVERYONE had their back to the painting…

The memorial is actually stunning and beautiful in a very solemn sense. I think it was very tastefully done; the names (and the flowers in the names of those whose birthday it is), the holes in the ground where the towers stood, and the sounds of the water in said holes are a powerful sight/sound to experience. I…

LOL this is so damn true. Flummoxed is very apt here too.

Exactly! I can do rice on the stove perfectly every time in exactly 20 minutes, so I’ve never even seen the benefit of a dedicated rice cooker. It’s like a messier slow cooker. But I don’t really even like those either because everything I can make in one of those I can make the same thing better using the stove (and…
