I once watched an interview with Jerry Seinfeld where he admitted his lack of acting chops. He said that in many of his scenes, he’s just enjoying being up close with some great actors and his facial expression is: “Wow, these guys around me are really good!”  This is most certainly one of those scenes.

This calls for a side-by-side-by-side taste test: I gotta figure that the ones fresh from the restaurant are best, and I’d expect the frozen ones to come next, followed by the mix, but maybe I’ll be surprised.

I’m relieved to hear that both you and your son are ok; that’s what’s most important.

It kind of blows my mind that this is the expensive one — and by such a wide margin that it starts at nearly double the MSRP of the one below it!

Whenever I see a motorhome for sale, I always default to doing the mental math on how many nights in a hotel it would pay for. I acknowledge that’s unfair for a few reasons, though: first, that you get some of that back when you eventually sell it, and since this one is probably a good ways down its depreciation…

I bet that type of restaurant serves up a delicious chicken fried steak and brews a mean cup of coffee.  Still, I don’t want to sleep in or drive that restaurant.

Thanks for that explanation. I’d be willing to give them a try. The texture you described makes them sound like they’d be pretty good on a burger, so I’m surprised that they haven’t found their way to the coasts.

With their pricing structure, the Oven-Baked Dips tell on themselves a little. At my local Domino’s, an order of any bread twists by themselves costs $6.99. The dip and twists together are $8.99. The dip, therefore, is being valued at about the same price as a few extra cups of marinara sauce. That sounds about…

Please humor this non-midwesterner and my seemingly stupid/basic questions: What kind of cheese is it? Or is “curd” a type of cheese like Cheddar or Swiss? What exactly is a cheese “curd”, and how is it different from just a piece of cheese?

Did he require a red/maroon color, too, or was that just a big coincidence?

Matching IDs to vaccination cards would just slow down entry and not do much to increase security/compliance. Since the cards are simple black-and-white templates with handwritten details scribbled in, the sort of person who’d borrow a buddy’s vax card is the same person who would print his own fake vax card to use…

While that’s true, eventually human eyes reach the resume. The automated system won’t get bored or distracted, so extraneous information doesn’t hurt to get through the first round, but once a real person looks at it, you have to make it interesting to a human and not just a machine.

Also, if you’re an older applicant who is worried about age discrimination, you don’t have to specify the year you graduated, either.

Eh, probably not all that much.

I think I was around 12 my last time trick-or-treating. I was just about done with it by that point and was happy to move on to other things (I recall a fun Halloween party/dance that I attended my freshman year of high school).

Math is hard.

At a training event for a customer-facing job, I was once advised to never say “no problem” to a customer — it’s two negative words right in a row (which, if it’s like math, they cancel out, but still, you don’t want to send any negativity to your customers). Instead, use “you’re welcome” or “my pleasure” or “you got…
