Late one slow night at the bar, a few friends and I found Twister on TV. Having not seen it in a while, we decided to drink every time a tornado was shown, or someone said twister, tornado, or some other synonym. We basically didn’t put down our drinks for the rest of the night. Luckily there was only about a half…

but instead it was worked into the robot’s design (which I did not notice when I originally watched).

I never watched Orphan Black, but I loved her turn as Nadia in Parks and Rec. She was absolutely delightful.

Seems that’s what they’re doing at the one by my work. Drive thru is about 5 cars deep at the speaker box, but when you pull up to it and can see around the corner, there’s only one car in front of you when you can easily have one at either window, one in between, and at least 2 more between the speakerbox and the…

I’ll settle for the Wendy’s conveniently located by me to not be terrible. The one by my work is a 5+ minute wait no matter what, and the one’s near my house aren’t much better... plus the actual restaurants are pretty poorly situated.

I mean, I said “if you can’t find butter but you can get your hands on some cream”. That would imply the possibility exists that you are unable to get either.

I’ve actually only made it once myself, and it was because I had just baked some bread and had a couple ounces of cream I had no real use for—I don’t put any in my coffee, and it wasn’t enough to make (more) ice cream—so I just said fuck it, whip it up! It was delightful!

which is literally nonsense

Maybe Lamb and Tuna Fish?

Also—if you can’t find butter but you can get your hands on some cream, make your own butter. It’s really simple (especially if you have a stand or electric hand mixer), and bonus: free buttermilk!

I never knew that this was the ending of the franchise until I saw the marketing

Sorry to hear about your friend, that’s never easy. I can understand why you’d want to distance yourself from the franchise for a while, or even for good. I often end up seeing the theatrical releases two or more times because two of my closest friends are Marvel fans and our schedules rarely line up to see them…

You and me both. Knowing some people that don’t like the newer Marvel stuff and can’t quite articulate why, but will happily point out they didn’t like scenes with too many women or with an abundance of characters played by people of color, my eyeballs were halfway to the back of my head before I read their reasoning.…

Don’t forget that also literally anyone can have a copy for free.

Is the restaurant taking the money from the fee and discounting the bills of neighboring tables? If they’re not, they’re just being assholes creating another opportunity to try and rip people off.

Yeah, but if you like the fries, the mozzarella sticks, sorry, Monsterella Stix, are amazing. I’m fairly certain they’re just McCain’s frozen mozzarella sticks, just like at White Castle, but they’re also coated in Rally’s fry seasoning. So good!

However, if you grew up with one of these Americana joints in your area, you might not even know that it goes by a different name elsewhere.

The linked article says the “Parisi method” calls for bringing the water to a boil before adding your pasta, putting the lid on, then kill the heat after two minutes.

I’m sure this is just preaching to the choir/shrieking into the void, but any league that functions as a result of tax payer subsidized stadiums should be prohibited from putting live games behind any sort of paywall, including cable TV. The league wants to add an exclusive prime time deal? Fine, it has to be free to…

workers are only guaranteed 10 hours off every 24 hours and can expect to effectively be on call all day, every day.
