I’ve had devices that would give me all those things:

Variable temp electric kettle, hot and ‘ambient’ (warm) water: $40 (I’ve had it since 2004, still going strong

Filtered water: Brita tank filter, 27 cup capacity: $38. Filters cost $2/month

Seltzer bottle: $33. Cartridges cost about $.50 each or less.

How long would it…

There are a lot of assumptions in this piece that should be challenged by anyone considering whether to buy this! Do you like the taste of your municipal water, as the author surprisingly does? Is keeping filter carafes full and filters changed really that difficult, and if so, how would you feel about continually chan…

Rich people are wild.

Yeah, but is it because it’s so good or just because it’s new and there’s literally only one location? Sonic and Krispy Kreme used to be really popular when they first opened here too, but now, there’s hardly a line at either. Also, their food offerings look pretty meh. I was expecting a bit more than egg McMuffins…

Give me $3,000 and I will paint your Stanley Quencher any color you want.

Turns out not everyone lives near local places or can afford them. Sorry we are all not like you and can afford that luxury.

a lot of people are crying about “woke” films. I think it is because there are women in them. The good news is I like women. My joke here is that I’m not using “woke” as a reason to avoid films. The reason I’m not going to see the latest batch of superhero films is because they are getting progressively dumber. I see…

I don’t care if it is “real” or not. It has it’s uses. Even the most pathologically detail obsessed chefs know that American cheese is the best cheese for a burger.

I don’t think it’s dumb, but then I like nerdy puns.

My parents had a policy that I had to finish what was “on my plate” before I could have anything else. This included foods I hated. Sometimes I would be presented with the same stuff for several meals in a row until I found a way to either hide it or choke it down. After the second try, no reheating, either. Ever have…

My special needs son has numerous sensory issues, and none of the usual strategies did anything -- if he added foods to his diet, it was over a period of years. So I completely relate to the author's experience. Treating adding foods as disinterested experiments helps a lot -- if you have no expectations for success,…

I mean, good for you, but some kids have genuine sensory issues or are just plain stubborn, and being forced to eat something is rarely a good idea. I’m sorry you went through food scarcity as a kid.

You might now say, “When they’re really hungry, they will eat what you cook.” They will not.

I like soda. I try to limit my intake of it but a cold soda on some days is really nice. With Baja Blast I prefer to buy the mini cans of the stuff, enough to get the flavor without too much sugar.

It’s hilarious to me how many people — who have watched it — are like “Why does Snyder get to keep making whatever he wants when all he makes is garbage?” All of you people who watched it already answered your own question.

Yeah, for one or two things they are great. Especially if those things have barcodes on them and you don’t have to hunt for produce codes or spell names without typos.  But if I’m buying my week’s worth of produce-heavy groceries, it’s fucking awful to check out that way.  Especially all the time it freezes because I…

Someone at Chick-Fil-A AND someone in NY did not do their due diligence.

Their message was far too kind. Not nearly enough “fuck offs” and “We’re not your personal chef. Eat it or don’t.”  Way too many entitled douches out there in the world. Got to start shaming them more often to reign in this behavior.

Good for you dude but in reality you’re pretty deluded if you think your absence is going to impact a high-end restaurant one bit. Majority of people who go to upscale restaurants understand that they’re paying a premium for a renowned chef to cook food in their own unique way. If you want to build your own pasta,…
