You are correct, it’s the Swedish consulate. Everyone inexplicably has an American accent regardless of locale, so it’s easy to forget the actual nationalities of the characters after the umptenth level reset going for Silent Assassin, Suit Only on Master. 

Comically, there’s a reference to IKEA in the Swiss consulate in the Marrakesh level The Gilded Cage in Hitman (2016). A staffer is sitting on the floor in the back of the main area trying to assemble a chair. He even makes some pointed comments about stick figures, if I recall correctly. 

There’s talk going around now on Reddit and Twitter that Boston wasn’t able to play Fusions, their planned starting tank, because he has a two-way contract and is ineligible to play more than two games this series due to having previously played in the last season of Contenders. The conspiracy floating around is that…

Oh, and a 2L/2 qt tall circular one for pizza sauce. I’m not sure if the clear polycarbonate Cambros have the same BPA warnings. I’ve never tried to microwave them, though I think they are microwave safe (the clear ones that is, the opaque ones I know are not).

I store my sourdough starter in a 2L/2 qt clear circular polycarbonate Cambro that I keep in the refrigerator (I found that keeping it on the counter at room temperature led to a lot of waste for no real benefit; I just refresh whatever amount I need for my purposes). I use more 2L/2 qt circular Cambros as containers…

This study was published in the journal Stroke, which is published by the American Heart Association. None of the authors are affiliated with the AHA (you can tell by looking at their affiliations on the first page of the article). None of the research was funded by the AHA (you can tell by looking at the sources of…

The character being masked would solve the issue of character customization from 5 (obviously wouldn’t do anything about the male versus female choice though).  Conspiracy theory or not, seems plausible enough.  Thanks for the insight.

Any narrative payoff for the Deputy from 5?  If Joseph Seed survived the bunker, I’d assume the player character does as well, unless it’s specifically mentioned that they’d been killed.

Yeah, he was taken to task a bit in the comments.  Unusual for him that he didn’t respond.  Plus, I’d take any study that relies on self-reporting with a massive grain of salt.

Q1 2020?  Damn, painted prototype to release timelines like that are usually reserved for scale figures.  Here’s hoping Good Smile doesn’t slip the release date anymore than they have for some of their other recent releases.

I make pizza at home pretty frequently (three pizzas a week, most weeks), so I go through the canned tomatoes pretty quickly. I haven’t been able to find the brand in retail stores, so the pallets of Amazon are the only option. My wife also makes red sauce fairly frequently. I admittedly need to pause the subscribe…

Indeed, I’d always known this as Mormon funeral potatoes. Have never heard the dish called Cheesy Hash Elegant.

re: the tomatoes, the SeriousEats post is also the first that shows up with Google preview when searching “whole canned tomatoes vs chopped.” Yeah, it was three and a half years ago, but I’d assume writers are aware of what their contemporaries have previously written. I’ve read through Kenji’s body of work on that…

Kenji had a less aggressive headline when he wrote this article three and a half years ago. Same with the recent one about MSG that came out a couple of weeks ago. I like Claire and the Skillet, but it’s funny to see a topic show up on SeriousEats or the Cook’s Illustrated family of sites only to see it echoed here.

I favor crushed, but the consistency seems to vary across brands.  It’s too bad that a lot of the best-rated canned tomato products are hard to source for consumers (usually they are only available commercially or wholesale).

Basil.  Some brands of tomatoes include basil in their canned products.

I use crushed Sclafani tomatoes in my pizza sauce and have been nothing but happy; I get a 12 can (28 oz per) pallet delivered once a month from Amazon.  If I want an end product with a sauce-like consistency, I see no point in not just buying the product that gets me to that point the fastest anyway, i.e. crushed,…

If business is struggling, I’d suggest taking a look at the PizzaMaking forums. Some of the industry vets of are members might be able to give some advice. There is a dedicated contingent who are just there for Neapolitan shoptalk too. A lot depends on your location I’d imagine. Neapolitan pizza is very much its own…

So I pulled out my original copy of Advance Wars for the GBA and I was incorrect, you can save mid-battle. I’m not sure if that system existed in subsequent titles. For some reason, I thought Advance Wars featured the same suspend system that the GBA Fire Emblems and Tactis Ogre: the Knight of Lodis utilized as well.…

It sounds like it mimics the Fire Emblem Battle Save feature. I don’t recall Advance Wars allowing you to save scum, but it’s been a while since I played any of those games. Into the Breach doesn’t allow mid-battle saves either, though you can pause to the menu at any time. Most turn-based strategy games don’t let you…
