On “the F word” he was always a far more humble guy, willing to both screw up and learn from others. He even lost against celebrities when they both did did their favorite dishes in blind tests, and was never upset or pissy about it (except for laughing fake-outrage).

Damn the man.

Ah, I remember the epic “r/The Donald versus r/Sweddit”-war. Those were the days, and I still bear the scars. Sweden hasn’t won that decisively since the Battle of Narva.

I always use the sous-vide to do ham, though I don’t actually put it in a bag; I just cook it straight through in a Nigella-stylee broth of water, apple and cranberry juice with cloves. Never buy precooked though. Then, after it’s been in there overnight and is at the perfect temperature, I dry it off, cut some of the…

Yeah, to be totally honest the last two times I went to the US, almost all the coffee I drank was great; last time I encountered “brownwater” was back in the 90s, though I’m sure it’s still out there.

Like the article says, American coffee = weak-ass drip-coffee. In Scandinavia, where we drink more coffee than anywhere else in the world, the drip-coffee is strong as hell and freakin’ delicious. Back before the Seattle chains introduced Americans to strong coffee, we used to call American-style coffee “brownwater”…

“To be swept away together with the entire universe: whatever law is laid upon us that thus we must live and thus we must die, is laid upon the gods.”

While the scene may still be a good pick for this list, the fact that ‘Hallelujah’ is “sde to the intermingling of godly love and secular pleasures” is probably why Snyder picked the song - I mean, Watchmen is literally about mortals who have set themselves up as gods, and in this scene they’re boning. I also feel…

Surely the whole point of bringing only hand luggage is so you don’t have to wait att baggage claim?

I’m with you on coffee, but booze is almost painfully easy to make. It’s not like the people on “Moonshiners” is the IQ brigade. For something simple that will get you buzzed like beer, just take a sugary drink... and leave it on a windowsill for a few days. For medicinal, or strong stuff... build the world’s simplest…

I’m in Sweden, where the American Express SAS Eurobonus Elite is the only game in town when it comes to travel hacking, as it gives you lots of Star Alliance points, and then gives you a 2-4-1 voucher after you spend about $19.000 on it during a calendar year. Strangely, for a card all about air travel, it won’t give…

Here in Sweden it’s literally the law to change your summer tires to winter tires before December 1st - and even if it snows before then and you haven’t changed, you’re not allowed to drive.

Heh, I did this in Skyrim back in the day - I had so much firewood, I broke the economy...

I have one of these - it uses waaaaay less than “75% less” oil. What this is is basically a very specialized hot-air oven, and as such it’ll make nigh-on perfect oven fries - even without oil.

The whole “they said no but then they wanted it” is a false narrative where men have pushed hard, and the women have eventually given in, and the men remember the giving in, but not the relentless pushing; a common theme in these stories is that the woman explains how she “felt powerless to say no” or “just wanted it…

The thing is, Americans keep saying tips are a guarantor of good service, but service in the US is far worse than in low-tip or no-tip places like Europe and Japan. What you get in the US is the fake-smile, over-friendly subservience designed to make the customer feel powerful. Actual service is, in my opinion, poor…

Besides Fight Club and Blade Runner, my nod goes to Forrest Gump. The movie is one of the best feel-good movies ever made. The book is more nuanced, but in a way that makes it feel... mean.

Should I get the pre-packaged Hellman’s kind, or just ask Satan to jizz directly into my pan?

When Shepherd Smith is the only grown-up in the room, you know it’s the dankest timeline...

Sorry, been staying away from the online theorizing, but gave in and scanned the comments... didn’t find a single one saying this. Seems I’m not alone then ;-D
