I’ve got Viennetta in my freezer as we speak

Caveat Emptor: I have never been to Texas.

In layman’s terms, think of a cake. You can’t take a baked chocolate cake and deconstruct it into flour, water, eggs, and sugar, and replace the cocoa powder with vanilla. Similarly, code is compiled into packages which run on a given platform, and can’t be reverse-engineered.

All true. I was just focusing on version control since that implies the existence of a repo, and if one version was actually somehow corrupted, they can just grab the prior version which would require max one or two sprint’s worth of work to make functional if it isn’t already? But the repo must somehow be absent here.

As someone working in development, the fact that the “original source code was corrupted” seems insane to me — how do you not have a version close to final release stored somewhere? 

I have to assume we’re dealing a situation where new components have become available in the supply chain, and Nintendo has to decide whether they’re enough for a new model or not. The chip with more efficient battery usage was not, but a more powerful processor a la the new 3DS might be. But I doubt a new model will…

Almost no one remembers to buy tomato paste. It’s one of those pantry items that you take for granted, assuming that there will always be a few cans hidden somewhere in the deepest recesses of your cabinetry.

I am currently playing through Okami on the Switch, and that game on this console would be purrrrfect. (excuse the pun, I just got the Cat power...)

I’m just shocked that there weren’t other non-hydrogenated vegetable oils on the market at the time, and I now just learned Canola oil was invented in 1978. As we now know, the trans-fats that hydrogenation generates are particularly bad for you, but the desire to keep kosher food pareve means a lot of it is still…

Does this work/get improved by the caramel variety (my personal favorite?) Why am I even asking, I’m just going to order a pack in my next shopping and try it out...

I once soaked dried beans overnight — they went bad! Developed a stinky white foam, and the beans stunk like that foam all the way through cooking and preparation, so I tossed it. Never again, I stick to the cans now, so I will see if I can stomach peeling 2 cans of those suckers for a hummus batch.

I mentioned this study on the article about the crazy parents protesting the PB&J Cafe adjacent to the museum.

That announcement video for Perfect Dark was so so unnecessary... Almost 4 minutes of developers talking about the amazing game they haven’t made yet, spliced with the same 30 seconds of cutscenes they’ve managed to render up to this point. Next time just do one of those zoomed-in logos that twists and swerves and…

Mix it all in a blender! Instead of having to clean all the food processor parts! Never thought of that.

That’s the nature of the subscription model: Loop customers in at a lower tier, slowly add perks that become irresistible (particularly once you’ve had a taste), and periodically ramp up the price.

Give your babies peanuts early and often, thus avoiding later instances of parents getting up in arms about cute little café names (and also a lifetime of having to be extra careful when eating out):

This is the reason.

Also love the new no-hassle big orange “Included with PS+” button that just adds it to your library without the whole purchase process and ensuring it’s $0.00 the whole time!!

Amazing, I didn’t know about the Onion connection. As a Jew born and raised in Wisconsin and who loves to eat food, this blog seems to have been created specifically for me. I raise my cream puff in the air to you and say, “L’chaim.”

Though The Takeout is based in Chicago, its roots are deep in Wisconsin.
