Sometimes cheap, not-so-great, nostalgia driven pizza exactly what hits the spot. And yes, definitely order ahead. When I’m in the mood for it, I get on the app and place the order right when I leave work. Right before I turn down the main drag on my way home, I get the notification that it’s ready, hop in, type the…

I don’t doubt that—After a quick search I’m finding frozen Butterballs for $1.07/lb locally at Aldi. At Giant Eagle I’m seeing about $1.50-$2/lb.

In fairness to Angela, that analysis is from Wells Fargo. Aside from the original story being linked in this article, I saw it being pushed on the morning local news last week. Of course, the argument was that large suppliers have contracts for turkeys at a much lower price than they currently sit, but that gives a…

Well, shit... I must have scrolled past too fast. Which is funny, since I went up and down the list a handful of times to make sure “Trapped” wasn’t there, and completely missed “Taco”.

Trapped In The Drive-Thru

Of course, in doing so, he’s taking away the value the blue checkmark has (“this is the real person, not one of X impersonators”), so he will immediately have to get cracking with the secondary tag, as the African journalist’s tweet makes clear.

While I’m sure acting in the mocap suit and wearing the camera/face rig was worse than just regular old acting, it seems like most of what you’re describing as things “she had to put up with” are things the VFX team had to put up with.

My favorite move for McDonalds breakfast is to sub in a round egg on any sandwich that comes standard with the folded egg. McGriddles and Biscuits improved immensely when I started doing that. The only downside is that the only way you can do it on the app is by removing the folded egg and adding the round egg with an…

I came across Patula’s youtube channel a month or two ago and, ever since, I’ve spent an absurd amount of time watching him assemble McDonalds’ breakfast orders. I don’t know why it’s so much more satisfying than the lunch videos to me, but it is... and I also watch those.

Yup, very grateful to not be in that position any more. Having been there is why I included the “not policing how people spend their money” bit. Sometimes, even if it means you have to pay a penalty on something next month when things may be better, it’s worth splurging on something for yourself to help get you…

That’s a fair point, but I don’t see those people as “unsure of what to do” with that money—they know exactly what they want to do. Even then, a 2% transfer fee on up to $10 is 20 cents or less. While it’s still a significant amount to someone who is cash strapped, being able to use that remaining $9.80 on a bill of…

Venmo users unsure what to do with that extra change sitting in their account

Of course, the flip side is that no matter how many time you report the racists, sexists, the anti-Semites, the trans/homophobes, etc. they never get banned. It’s almost like Twitter makes a lot of money off that very large, very loud, and very awful contingent.

It sucks that people started doing that, though not entirely surprising. But when it comes to dining and dashing, does it really matter how the pay system is set up? Even with the most traditional system, where the server drops off the bill and comes to collect it later, it was very easy to walk out without actually…

Finally something good has come out of crypto.

Yup. And the “mess” people are complaining about? That’s liquid gold, pure flavor! Let them sit for a couple minutes before you bite in and it won’t leak out as much. Plus, if you angle your bite right, it gets sopped right up by the bun!

Alternatively, sous vide is also great. Overkill for only one or two, but if you’re making a whole mess of them for a party? Get those bad boys to temp in the water while you work on other prep (bonus, you can get them out of the kitchen) then you’re just searing them off when it’s go time.

No, at TOPH you have to bring it up if you’re paying there, but I was using that as a generality, since that’s the norm at almost every other restaurant.

I was at The Original Pancake House for breakfast the other day, and when the server handed me my bill, it had the option to scan a QR code and pay online. It was lovely. No one hovering, no waiting for her to go swipe it and come back, no standing in line at the register (also still an option). I just paid online…
