You can watch from the street. You don’t have to actually be in the house while it’s burning!

There are, like, a half dozen houses within a few miles of where I live that have bigfoot statues in their yards. I can’t figure out why. It’s unusual and weird. In this rural part of the country, I wonder if it’s some kind of MAGA code?

Unfrosted strawberry Pop-Tarts with butter on them are great. My cousin first showed me how to make them that way when I was a kid.

Magnets will stick to some stainless steel. It depends on the alloy.

That’s what I was thinking. I’d be surprised if the plastic board I’ve been using for 20 years weighs even a 1 gram less after all that time.

This was one of the somewhat rare instances where I think the movie was better than the book. The strict first-person narrative in the book felt very strange at first and took some getting used to when reading it. The movie was able to give us a broader perspective on the world of the story, instead of limiting us…

Convergent evolution!

Peanut butter and syrup just eaten with a spoon was a common thing at our house when I was a kid. And I, uh, still eat it sometimes. :) My family always used maple pancake syrup. My wife’s family used light Karo syrup, so that’s the way she’s always liked that particular snack.

Ha! I was just talking the other day with someone about dipping peanut butter sandwiches in chili. When I was a kid in the 70's, the school cafeteria always served plain peanut butter sandwiches on chili day. We dipped them in the chili because they were hard to choke down otherwise!

Your TV might have a setting called something like “volume leveling,” which is also to change the dynamic range. This is meant to make the quiet parts louder and the loud parts quieter. Sometimes this helps a lot. Sometimes it doesn’t, or it makes it worse. You can experiment and see which is better. On our TV, we…

I’m really surprised you don’t seem to think much of hard-anodyzed aluminum pans, which are what most of the non-Teflon nonstick pans are. We’ve had Circulon hard-anodyzed pans for a long time now, and I like them a lot. The entire set was, like, $200, and they’ll last a lifetime if you take care of them. Aluminum…

They were kind of on a “light” naming kick. The cars in the Chrysler lineup that the Neon took the place of were named the Shadow and the Sundance.

At the SRT Nationals/SDAC-16 event at Heartland Park in 2006, it was 110 degrees on track day. I’m sure it was hotter over the tarmac. Whew was that hot. At the time it was the SCCA home track (maybe it still is?), and they actually waived the long pants safety requirement and let us wear shorts.

My wife, our oldest daughter, and our son each drove my SRT-4 Neon for a while. I swore I was going to teach my kids to drive stick, and I succeeded with 2 out of 3 of them. I bought the SRT new, and it’s definitely been driven (and seen a fair amount of track time). A couple of weeks ago was the 20-year anniversary…

Stock shouldn’t be that dark and murky.

The ‘87 Shelby GLHS (based on the same 2-door L-body as that ‘86 Charger) added an intercooler and bumped the power up to 175hp. That was good for 6.7 seconds 0-60, a nearly identical time to the ‘87 Mustang GT. The Shelby Mopar offerings were competitive cars at the time.

I don’t know, but I feel like in addition to, “Is it a sandwich?” we could be asking, “Is it a shawarma?” Lots of foods seem derived from that basic idea.

The upper sets go together horizontally not vertically. One from one pair next to another goes with one from the other pair next to each other, etc. Also, they didn’t have to be imprinted at the exact same time.

How is this supposed to be any different for an existing cable customer than just buying a Roku or Fire stick? Or just using your TV’s built-in features, for that matter? Is this not encouraging cord cutters instead of deterring them?

Except that on this pizza, the crust is cooked first. So it’s an open-face sandwich, I guess?
