Back in the day, it used to be sugar and shortening. They stopped using pig lard back in 1997 and now it’s most likely sugar and a combination of oils.

Maybe? I found a picture and this is what the one in North San Antonio looked like. However seems not all the theaters are set up the same.

Meh. I find it really isn’t all that necessary for pasta that can be covered fully by the water uncooked, like penne. It’s more for noodles like lasagna or spaghetti that will have parts sticking out of the water and then will not be evenly cooked.

I used to have problems with strands sticking together with just regular pasta until I changed two things. First I no longer add the pasta to the water right away. I wait for it to boil first. Second, and this is the bigger fix, you have to get the water to a rolling boil. This makes the water mix the noodles on its…

I dunno. I’ve never been when someone was disruptive or using their phone when they weren’t supposed to be. As for the food, while it’s good, it’s nothing to write home about. Same as most other good restaurants. But it’s been years since I’ve been and I only went a few times.

and not giving away my labor, even if it’s just 30 seconds of it, for free.

Also, stop trying to get me to do work for free by checking out my own groceries.

I went to Alamo Drafthouse once (for the first time) last year and I honestly didn’t get the hype.

It’s been awhile since I’ve been but I don’t think so. Think instead of a bar that runs the entire length of the isle.

They are disabled and no longer can self-deprecate by themselves, so someone has to do it for them. Duh.

Won’t anybody think about the margin?

Yeah, you could make your own noodles, but that’s a lot of work for what isn’t going to be any kind of difference. When you can get a pound of Barilla pasta for $1.50, making your own noodles is just about as sensible as paying an astronomical price. And let’s be honest, do you really think you are gonna do better…

Won’t anybody think about the j-o-b-s?

I hear tell that if you help the staff get free cable, they will let you fight in the arena for a few rounds.

I asked if I could sit with her so she wouldn’t be a 17 year old girl sitting alone outside a restaurant in the middle of a city, but was told no. God our teachers were lousy.

Won’t anybody think about the bottom line?

I never really paid attention to the price of eggs until everybody started freaking out, and I have no clue now what is expensive and what is acceptable.

The loudest complaint is that AI is going to take our jobs, but academic dishonesty is a close second. School administrators are working hard to get out in front of the problem, not necessarily by changing their curriculum, but often through foolhardy attempts to ban the ChatGPT website. Good luck. The AI is…

I think it is more that it is harder to harass your employees over e-mail than face-to-face. There is also that whole evidence thing too.
