Ahh good ol’ Ejaculate and Evacuate. I grew up with one across the street from my house. We would rent Nintendo games and steal pornos, buy fun-sized Runts for 5 cents, get the refund for massive bags of pop cans, and generally annoy the person behind the counter. Sadly, traffic through town got diverted to the new…

I want to find the person who proposed Bertie Botts as a good idea IRL, then throw rotten fruit at them.

I was in this little town in Alsace, and apparently it had gotten too small to have a baker. There was a bread vending machine at a crossroads and that bread was better than 90% of what I’ve had in all my life.

El Caminero, Mexico City. We stumbled around the corner from El Angel de Independencia, still dragging our bags and exhausted from a delayed flight. It’s just a taqueria; a normal place you could get a fast lunch or dinner, but it was some of the best food I’ve ever had at that moment. They do this thing with chorizo…

Nothing says White Flight like a housing development with canals.

I just got a new food processor and being a nerd I read the whole manual. No, you actually use the cutting blade for pie crust. The plastic blade is apparently for gluten development; this of course means I will probably never use the plastic blade because I already have a dough hook for my kitchenaid.

I have never made a decision on this issue. PEA-can pie, puh-CAHN candy.  I have the same issue with cement.

While I enjoyed the wallpaper in this show, it was pretty weird when the characters walked into a room with the exact same wallpaper as my bedroom. In a good way - a cool green and silver diamond pattern that you can see in the Vegas hotel rooms. It kind of dragged me out of the show for a second and made me think…

It’s for the aesthetic, isn’t it? A home baker wouldn’t have a blast chiller so no such amenity here.  Leave off that the home baker might have second thoughts about baking during mid-summer without air conditioning, but still.

“Number 8 - Cutting cherry tomatoes between two lids doesn’t work.” I did exactly this probably a dozen times this summer and it worked great every time. I don’t know if I can trust the rest of the list now!

Yeah he’s just a few years older than me and my memory of Thriller was that I enjoyed it in Kindergarten.

Just like anything, freshness counts, plus Brachs has taken the quality up a notch since I was a kid. I remember waxy bad candy corn being more common in the 1980s.

I literally just got the same egg container this weekend. I thought it was smart to have a 14-egg capacity because I usually buy eggs when I’m -almost- out, not when I have none.

I normally don’t put a lot of effort into making a new face in a game like that, but I recently started up Outer Worlds and just hit randomize until I found one that looked fun. My wife said, “He looks like a cat with a manbun.” So, Cat Manbun intergalactic rogue was born.  This is now my plan for all games.

That’s the part that surprises me - the way their ethos seems to be so misogynistic (if anti-feminism is equivalent to misogyny) when I thought it was just a site that told you why you need to use shaving soap or how to shake hands correctly.

I was an early reader of Art of Manliness, and I read it side-by-side with Jez. At the time, apparently over a decade ago, it didn’t feel like the two were in conflict. I have to wonder if I was missing the point back then or what. It just felt like a place to get hipster-level tips on grooming and general skills (in…

So, I mentioned my issues to a buddy and he said it wasn’t problem for him. My buggy performance has been reproduced enough for a few blogs to mention it, but I think I’m going to look into driver updates.  It’s entirely possible it’s my problem on my end.

Keep an eye out for updates before you get the HOTAS running. Squadrons is not functional with a HOTAS at the moment. As in, a bug might prevent you from getting past the first mission. They promised more than they accomplished in that case. That said, it’s still tons of fun with a gamepad!

I think this is the missing link (pun) in the American voting system.  I have voted several times in my life just to have the sticker.  How many more would vote for a sausage off the grill?

I’ve tried other nogs in coffee, and had poor results.  It seemed like the dairy fat didn’t disperse into the coffee, almost as if it was curdled.
