If you read the documents company execs exchange in these matters you will learn that people DO have value to them. They invariably calculate the estimated costs of lawsuits versus the cost to do things right. If the needle falls on “cheap to get sued” they will go with that. It is one of the reasons they work so hard…

Really annoying though, like a dentist with a low speed drill just grinding away.

Anything can be too salty if you use too much salt, the trick is in knowing how much is too much.

I have eaten at all of them & there is not a bad one in the bunch but they are all a little different so you might find you prefer on over the others. I rather like the more sandwich-like ones you can eat by hand but DiGido’s are really good too

My dad was good friends with Vic Tedesco, who was a St. Paul city councilman for many years. He told the story of being in Boston and ordering “Dago Red Wine” at an Italian restaurant & getting well chewed out by the waitress.

Jedgar didn’t write a tell all not just because he was dead but he was also deep in the closet & badly compromised by the mafia. But you know, honor, integrity and all that stuff too.

Table salt for cooking, Kosher salt for ‘decorating’ If you want a salty crunch on a dish sprinkle the coarse ground stuff on after you plate it. All those assholes on TV who insist on kosher for anything else are bullshitters.

What intrigues me is for a series like Christie’s Hercule Poirot would she lose control of the character? Am I free to write, “Murder on the City Of New Orleans” with him as my detective? Could the estate (or whomever is controlling) sue because “Murder on the Orient Express” is still under copyright?

Dump can’t pardon State crimes. WHile these clowns might avoid a Federal Rap my guess is New York, New jersey & probably a few other states will be welcoming them to their forever home in a few months

Paper from 1928 . . . so . . . 90 years later you think that matters? You do not deserve the right to vote if you are this stupid

Not an NHL fan here and one of the reasons is that nobody can play with intensity for 80s games so as long as you make the playoffs you probably want to save a little for when it matters. Now it matters so we’ll see if they can play at that level over the next few weeks.

Given that this slimy piece of shit was openly bringing his previous whore into the mayors residence where his then current wife & children lived I am surprised he does not already have a side piece lined up to be the next victim.

I guess you don’t watch much hockey then.

That BS goes back much further than St. Reagan. He and his asshole in chief, Lee Atwater just figured out how to twist the dog whistle to a higher pitch so they could be more up front about it. Atwater’s wiki page explains it very nicely, google him & the n-word

Naturally, hair furor subsequently signed an executive order making child care free and easily available for the working poor. Then one providing medical assistance, including mental health care to those who need it in order to hold a job. Finally he signed an executive order providing assistance with housing, food…

Back in the 90s I lived in Florida and saw a van every day on my way to work that was hand painted with a warning that the world was coming to an end on a specific date. I forget the date but found out later it was one of a number of dates some nut job was positive the return of Christ was going to happen (the nut job…

Gack! That would stink because the odds are you would hurt your tip no matter which way it turns out.

He his buying aged beef, the longer it sits the lighter it gets as the moisture evaporates.

Spent some time as a line cook. When someone ordered well-done they got the crappiest pieces we had. My chef had a low-boy where he would keep old or tattered steaks and when someone called out “I got a burner!” he would find the worst one & toss it at the cook.

This reminds me so much of the old l-serv days & the vegetarian mail group. About once a month a fight would break out & someone would say “it is never ok to eat meat!” The people would point out there are people who have no choice (Inuits being high on that list). It would go down hill from there until Goodwin’s law…
