So all this machine does is combine the contents of a pod with liquor? Seems like it would be pretty easy to buy the pods only and just mix them with liquor without using the machine - or for that matter, to buy premade cocktail mixes and just follow the directions/proportions, saving yourself several hundred bucks in…

But isn’t it sexist to focus on their appearance? If this was two dudebro entrepreneurs would you have called out their weight and the appearance of their hair? I think it would be sufficient to call out their wealthy backgrounds and, at most, state that they are conventionally attractive and featured themselves in…

Since Kinja is finally letting me see and respond to replies, just wanted to say thanks for this intel! These do look quite a bit different from mozzarella sticks, as you can’t go wrong with fried cheese I will have to try to get my hands on some when I finally go somewhere besides my own living room ;-).

Just so you know, my post was a year old. I’m not sure what the situation is now but this year I did have to pay some local taxes and that check was certainly cashed right away, haven’t gotten my federal refund yet but it’s only been around six weeks. I will say that I have another friend whose 2020 return got kicked…

Thanks! I went on a trip to Wisconsin once to go to the House on the Rock and and I did try cheese curds there, but I made the rookie mistake of getting too large a bag and snacking on it the whole time I was driving back to O’Hare. I ate way too many and was totally nauseous the whole flight home but obviously I…

I’m a NYer who’s never had cheese curds but loves anything cheese and fried. Can you tell me what they’re like? Are they like mozzarella sticks just cheddar-flavored, or are they meltier? Inquiring minds want to know!!!

Seriously, I was wondering if this was some kind of super-sly viral marketing effort. All I took from this was ”hey, I should check out Ziwe!”

The naivete of blog posts like this just cracks me up. People who are not familiar with how the advertising sausage is made always thinks that brands are out to manipulate people and force them to think a certain way. As someone who works in this industry, while some may wish we did BELIEVE ME we do not have that…

It’s funny, in a lot of ways I think In the Heights is in the same trap the character of Nina is in - needing to be a perfect representative of an entire community as compared getting to, well, just be. Similar to Crazy Rich Asians, there are so few movies out there about Latinx culture that anyone who doesn’t see…

I was wondering how this would possibly work and surmise that the corkscrew part liberates a small amount of juice which then gets sprayed out the top. Because the spray is so fine, it makes you think this gadget is somehow juicing the lemon/lime when it really isn’t. Squeezing the lemon/lime would help you get more…

The sad thing is this was likely due to COVID. A lot of shows dramatically downsized crowd scenes, etc. wherever they could in order to minimize the amount of potential exposure. While I agree it didn’t seem credible I’ll give them a pass since COVID has been so challenging.

I’ve done this too if I’m heading straight home - pour half over your own ice and you’ve got a cup of coffee in the fridge for the next day. But some days you just want to drink a nice cold cup of iced coffee while you’re walking around and there’s nothing wrong with that! If you’re primarily motivated by value then…

I have to say I just can’t wrap my head around the concept of a fivesome. I have not been able to find even ONE person I don’t find myself fantasizing about strangling on occasion after a few months of dating, trying to find four people that I both get along with who also get along with each other seems to be on a…

That’s a dangerous game. I used to keep a normal amount of condiments, napkins, etc. in a drawer in my old office - until the day I realized the ketchup packets had been nibbled open and there was a layer of mouse turds on the bottom of the drawer! 

You will note that it says pure “syrup” - not pure “maple syrup.” Cane syrup is also syrup  and I’m sure that label had no problem clearing legal!

I can tell you exactly what my 19-year old nonwhite self would have said if I got picked for this thing: “You say I get a tiara and everyone is going to take my picture? Sign me up!” It sounds like this event started including Black and Jewish people before Ellie Kemper was born, using this event to position her as a…

I do think that part of what grabbed everyone with Easttown was seeing a different neighborhood/culture, so they could potentially do a new show that’s just “Easttown” with basically all new characters too? Or drive less than an hour away to my own home state of Delaware - the accent can be similar and Wilmington is…

Exactly. As people grow older they develop responsibilities and relationships that no longer make it possible to flit from city to city just to get a change. I remember once going on an online date with a guy who was adamant that all his belongings had to fit in a single suitcase and who had engineered his entire life…

It will be interesting to see if they have a second season. I feel they are sort of in a similar situation to Broadchurch, where basically every character was a suspect to the core mystery and there’s no way you could plausibly come up with a new mystery that again brought in every person in the town. Broadchurch…

In some of the very first scenes of the show when Erin is asking about the ear surgery he says it all has to go through the courts though. It’s clear that he already has gone through legal processes with the kid and it’s hard to imagine his parents wouldn’t have consulted a lawyer by now or been contacted about…
