It’s clear that the only dishwasher that he’s ever seen was in a commercial kitchen. Or maybe - one of those glassware dishwashers bartenders use. Trump has never in his life stood in a home kitchen wondering how shredded wheat got lodged in the bottom of a coffee mug and was then baked on during the heat dry cycle.
Since the beginning, I have yet to not read that word as “Asshatter” I think I’m stuck with it.
It’s somewhat notable that the scarcity-free economy of Star Trek happened after nuclear holocaust and a nasty post-apocalypse. To Roddenberry it was clear that the slate wouldn’t just wipe itself clean.
I did the math recently and my time living in California has exceeded the previous highest, which was the house I lived in from first grade through Sophomore year of college. That made me feel old, but I think I became a Californian long ago.
Last winter I discovered my favorite chicken noodle recipe in the Cook’s Country cookbook that I got for Christmas. It’s a homemade dumpling noodle soup, but the key is to toast 6 tbsp of AP flour in the pot before you do anything else (heat and stir the flour constantly right to the point where it starts to smoke). …
Funny how his character tried to blow up Silicon Valley in that one 007 movie. On the other hand, didn’t he date Grace Jones in that movie? (In case you’re wondering I’m not terribly invested in late-stage Roger Moore Bond)
I’m enjoying Five hundred *and fifty* thousand dollars. It’s like he ran the costs and decided it wouldn’t sell at an even six hundred.
That brings me back - I had learned to play Doom and all of that generation of FPS just on keyboard. It was doable and I figured I was pretty OK at it; it never even occurred to me that it could play better with a mouse. Then, my buddy and I figured out how to deathmatch over modem. His Mouse+KB technique changed my…
If someone ever offers you a bag of shell-on Brazil nuts, think twice. They are literally a tough nut to crack. Especially since they’re really not that tasty either.
I went from the post about Bojack right to this one.
I admit that my Japanese vocabulary is limited to what I learned from anime and restaurants, but I always enjoy saying ‘iceoo-cooreemu’ when I can, which is what I’ve been told is how to say ice cream in Japan.
I bought his guidebook for a trip to Croatia, and it also had a solid chapter exploring the terrible Balkan wars of the 1990s. Most of the other guides I read basically just swept past the recent history.
The article mentions that the island is a point of surveillance. I’m of the mind that Julia Child, and in turn TV cooking in general had a hand in popularizing the island. My local PBS shows her early series on occasion, and my kitchen is strikingly similar to the layout you see in the 1963 The French Chef set.
Antifa originated in Europe, where a lot of the languages pronounce the ‘i’ as ‘ee’. That also explains why it’s ‘fah’ at the end, since I know I don’t say, Fah-shist.
I feel like it’s a brand of Midwestern humor that isn’t seen as much these days. Oddly well-read but childish at the same time.
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.
