I got zucchini to kind of work like this by slicing it into thin rounds with a mandoline, tossing it with a bit of olive oil and lots of salt and leaving it out for like... a couple hours? Then rinsing and roasting at 425 or so until it looked fine. They weren’t like... chips... but they were kinda crispy. They were…

Just your thoughts, Emma? No prayers?

I’m pretty sure alcohol is the lizard people’s only weakness, so they’re working on taking out the biggest threat to their eventual rule.

Yes, I keep trying this, but unfortunately it keeps getting drunk and I have to get more. Not sure what the problem is.

You are a crazy person. $160k is “middle class” in the Bay Area - as the total income for a family of 4.

Yes. This, exactly. People don’t recognize that it’s not the scare that turned consumers off, it was the moves the restaurant made in reaction to the scare. I wanted to “forgive” them immediately, and poured a bunch of money into my local branch right after the scare to encourage them to keep going. Loved the lack of…

Oh my god. “Male aggression.” Give it a fucking rest already.

Or a semicolon, turns out.

Right? These chuckleheads can be “livid” all they want; they’re still gonna be living large in industry when their terms are up.

And we are. I probably have mentioned Libby Schaaf in at least 10% of my Kinja comments, lifetime. And I write a lot of comments on io9.

WINNERS, not LOSERS!

This oversells the point and, I think, does damage to the “we should all stop watching football” position. It’s not boring. It’s not boring at all. It’s incredibly interesting, and to say otherwise makes it harder for people who recognize that to envisage really quitting.

I’m going with schizophrenia; otherwise yep.

Dude. Take a long, hard look in a mirror. “Frothing”? Try not to get so worked up. You don’t have to take every comment on a game you like quite so personally - and it’s definitely not appropriate to respond to a comment like that with personal attacks.

I watched the rest. Mildly amusing twist. Still plagiarism. Thanks for sharing.

This is like a scene for scene straight up RIPOFF of “Sure Thing” by David Ives. I stopped after 45 seconds to tell you that, so maybe it’s credited later in the clip. If not, reconsider your recommendation of it.

Now there’s an hourlong procedural drama that I could really get into.

Don’t you think that if you’re going to be that gleefully pedantic, you should spell the thing you’re discussing correctly?

Thanks for the in-depth response, really helped me - not an economist - understand the issues at play here.

Actually, at least one and possibly two people are there, in that moment, for the toast-giver - and they’re the most important 1-2 people at the event, so their opinions are the only ones that matter.
