An American Tradition

That same NFPA report said about $15M/year property damage from frying turkeys. Same scenario in that it is statistically small, but still ridiculous because cooking a turkey shouldn’t burn one’s house down. I’d just skip it myself, but I suppose I’m not terribly risk tolerant with my meal prep. 

The only surprising part for me is that Mt Dew contains any type of citrus.

Statistically, it is indeed ridiculous. NFPA estimates about 5 people die to frying Thanksgiving turkeys/year, and another 60 injuries on average. Compared to 330+M people, it is insignificant. However, to die while cooking turkey is also ridiculous, so I get why one might want to put the PSA out there.

Thin client that requires you to own both the processing side and all the games you want to play is questionable. But then again, Stadia failed, so who knows. I do wonder how well this works when the device is not in the same location/network as the PS5. But the thought of not being able to use it on the plane sucks.

Dominos is a franchise. So corporate took an insignificant hit in this blunder, but the franchisees are the ones to really feel the pain. And that’s assuming Dominos corporate even partially or fully subsidized the free pizzas. If they didn’t, and just forced this campaign on the franchisees, then the franchisees ate…

Thing is, measuring flying speed of passenger jets is kind of pointless when the aim for any subsonic jet is to not break the sound barrier. And it isn’t just about keeping the jet itself under 767mph, but keeping each jet’s wing profile low pressure stream from breaking the sound barrier. This can happen while the…

That legit works too. I always feel far less fatigued on longhaul flights when in a 787 or A350 as opposed to older 777's. Makes getting over jetlag easier. Although, I heard (not sure) that the newer 777X’s will have lower cabin pressures too. Maybe not 787 low, but lower than prior gen 777's.

Mick Jagger’s dancing is like watching a wounded chicken have a seizure. The song “Moves like Jagger” isn’t necessarily a compliment. Per Levine:

I really like Overwatch, despite all its flaws and basically everything OW2 is, but never understood who OWL was for. I had zero interest in watching it, and I like the game. I’m sure there were some who did find it interesting, and I know I’m not the only data point, but I still can’t help but feel that if someone…

My vote goes to Danny McBride as Link.

As a child of the 80's, I recall early MTV and how terrible a lot of the videos were. So at the time, We Built this City seemed kind of normal. Was it good, even for back then? No. Was it a standout bad back then? Also no. Ridiculous transitions, terrible green screen, and early 80's sensibility for choreography was…

Honestly, that video is cringy now, but was fairly normal for its era. But even the kid version of me knew Dancing in the Streets was goofy, even back when it was first playing on MTV.

Nah. Make it Jon Bernthal as Link and have him constantly frustrated and losing his shit about lore-accurate mechanics of how things work in a Zelda world.

The funniest part of “Dancing in the Street” is that neither Bowie, nor Mick Jagger could actually dance, regardless of location. And that was on full display in the video. They also looked like they were wardrobed by blindly picking outfits out of an 80's Kmart flyer. It’s all rather epic though as a complete…

You needed a gravy boat to pour on top of each slice. Maybe some slices of canned cranberry sauce. Rule #1 of Thanksgiving meals is to provide proper gullet lubrication in the form of gravy and cranberry sauce. 

I’ve never had it, but it almost sounds like a barely wine from description. I also get the feeling that one has to be a true beer nerd to enjoy it to its fullest extent, as I can’t see your average beer drinker agreeing to $240/bottle, room temp, and 2oz pours.

“In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.” 

Well, the 5.56 bullet is also traveling nearly 3X faster than .22lr, so there’s that as well.

God, I loved Gears 3 multiplayer, even with all the toxic player chat. None of the games that came after felt that Gears 3 in multiplayer. I hope they bring back that feeling.
