Yeah, I can see that looking at it now. I guess I never thought about it because the first time I ever saw one of these was at my local Tex-Mex place, so I saw how they used it. My gosh, are people putting the fruit in there and holding the whole thing upside-down, so the juice runs out the sides?!? Again, no wonder…

Ah, like you began, I’ve been using way too much lemon and garlic. I feel like you could maybe substitute an egg yolk for the tahini, and have a decent sauce for shawarma, too.

Until I read all these comments, it never even occurred to me that somebody would put the fruit in cut side up. No wonder they don’t like using it! As you’ve told everybody, it goes cut side down towards the holes! These things work great, and you get every bit of juice out with very little effort.

I’m an independent voter, and I have voted R, D, and independent at various times in my life. But after these past, well 10 years really, I will never, ever, ever, vote R again for anything at all. Good job, R nuts?

I had a complete HO-scale Illinois Central passenger train when I was a kid, and man, I wish I still had it. Especially since it later turned out that my father-in-law spent his whole career working for them. I ended up selling all my HO stuff when I was 12 to buy a guitar. :-/

It’s kinda insane that it this page is made up of almost 300 server requests, and that more than 25% of them are for ads and tracking.

My aunt still loves to tell the story of how she babysat for me when I was about 5 (I’m 53 now!), and I told her I wanted to make hot dog soup. We cut up a couple of hot dogs and a carrot and heated them up in a pan of water. I think the result was basically warm slices of hot dog and raw-ish carrot in water, but with…

It’s only got 103 HP or so, but it weighs as much as a thinking about a pie....

And they were both designed by the same guy.

Like most cars, they’ll last if you take care of them. I bought a new 2004 SRT-4 (which uses some PT suspension parts), and I’m still daily driving it today at 217K miles. I don’t baby it, and I’ve even tracked it some, but I take reasonably good care of it. I hope to drive it another 10 years or so, at least.

BK varies a lot in my experience. They don’t sell much coffee here locally, so it kind of depends on how fresh it is. It tends to be old and bad, but I have lucked into a very good cup there once or twice.

Hey! Ski is from a little town about 25 miles from me here in southern IL. It is quite good.

So the lemon wasn’t sour grapes?

Yeah, I noticed they went out of their way to not make it easily searchable.

All my life I’ve heard, “Ignorance of the law is no defense.” But apparently it is? p. 190: “ii. Willfulness”

Same here as the NPR profile person. I work for a small manufacturer in the Midwest. Our employer-provided insurance is pretty bad. We had a $5000 per person deductible until recently. It just went down...to $3000 per person. I mean it’s technically better, but still bad. These past few months have been a little tough…

That reminds me of years ago hearing a big exposé of a bunch of Archer Daniels Midland wrongdoing on NPR, and right after the report: “All Things Considered on NPR is supported by Archer Daniels Midland. ADM - Always Doing Malfeasance” (or whatever their actual slogan was at the time).

Must be more “Christians” who haven’t actually read the Bible. Nowhere does it say Sodom was destroyed because of homosexuality. What it does say (which sounds all too familiar):

I wondered the same thing. I had hernia repair surgery with mesh 2-1/2 years ago, and it still is sore there. The problem is, at this point it’s more of a nuisance than something I would want to have more surgery for, especially with a $5,000 deductible.
