There’s a paragraph in the source article that explicitly says GrubHub denied cybersquatting, “...which is identified by ICANN as ‘generally bad faith registration of another person’s trademark in a domain name.’” As described in the source article, though, that’s exactly what they’re doing in some cases, such as the…

Depending on where you are exactly and how far you want to go, there’s a place in the tiny south-central town of Iuka, IL, that has the best brisket I’ve ever tasted. And I’ve lived in St. Louis, South Carolina, and Texas.

I think the “official” directions have you dump the dry ingredients into the wet, but I always put the dry into a very large bowl and sprinkle and stir the wet into it gradually. The coverage seems pretty good that way.

You can get close, you just have to pay attention to what you’re doing. I make myself a little batch in the microwave sometimes when I have a taste for it. I use a little extra butter (and chili powder or chili-lime seasoning), and microwave it a minute at a time. For a small batch with 1 Tbsp of butter, it normally…

Ah, this makes sense chemically. The strong flavors of onions are from sulfur compounds, and the sodium in the salt will react with the sulfur to make less offensive substances. That’s why you can reduce the smell of onions or garlic on your hands by rubbing salt on them.

They probably do have a legal right to the domain names, at least in a case like this. We have a federal anti-cybersquatting law that prohibits someone from using a trademark in bad faith or with an intent to profit. Business names are legally considered trademarks, even if they’re not registered.

There are caveats not mentioned. The process listed here will work on some phones (like the Nexus 5 pictured) perfectly, but for many newer phones (like the Pixel 3/3XL) you can’t directly flash a custom recovery. You have to boot, but not install, TWRP, then optionally you can install it from within itself to the…

I have the entire original series on VHS! My wife and I watched a few episodes not long ago.

You sound like me. Old fart, huge Anne fan not really fond of the Netflix take, reader and watcher of All Creatures. My wife and I were big enough fans that we gave a daughter the middle name Anne (with an ‘e’). I was super-gratified that after years of thinking ol’ dad’s book recommendations weren’t worth much, our…

My wife loves to tell the story of how when our kids were little she put a lot of effort into dinner one night, and the kids wouldn’t eat it. The next night she made them bologna sandwiches, and one of them said, “Mom, you’re the best cook ever!” 

Yep, when I was a kid in a little town about an hour east of STL, I watched it and my dad would wrestle with me in the middle of the living room floor. Somehow I, a little kid, always ended up beating him. :) Man, the only name I can remember from those days (early ‘70's) is Andre The Giant.

Oh, my Win 7 laptop will *support* 10 (and I installed a clean copy on a separate drive so I’d have the 10 license at least). But the upgrade process won’t complete successfully, and I’m not willing to take the huge amount of time it would take to do a clean install and hunt down the right versions of everything I…

From Wikipedia: ‘His father was Danish and a native of Copenhagen; “Steny” is a variant of his father’s name, “Steen”’

My favorite crunchy salty snack is Fritos Scoops and Fritos Bean Dip. Great combo.

I can hardly eat any Lays potato chips anymore. Even Ruffles and Wavy Lays, which are definitely the best Lays chips, seem really one-note and tasteless these days to me. My favorite chip now is Krunchers, plain or any flavor, really. Sooo much more potatoey tasting than any Lays chip. Walmart and ALDI have their own…

It reminds me of the Mediterranean/Middle East salad called tabouli, too. 

I don’t often ask, but when I do, that’s basically the reason: I’d like to try something new. I might not like it; I might discover a great new thing.

Saw this stand at a mall in Sarajevo. CupCorn. It’s a cup. Of corn.

Our last night in Croatia, we went to a little seafood restaurant on the waterfront. While we were looking at the menu, the owner asked our 10-year-old if he would like pizza instead of fish. He actually went to the pizza place next door (which he said was run by his brother) to get pizza for our son. Very nice guy,…

Doesn’t sound bad, honestly. I use giardiniera when I make shawarma. I really like Dubai-style chicken shawarma, with pickled veggies and french fries on it.
