How do fisheries that prepare lobster tails for freezing and sale do it?

In a preview, they show Vision walking outside of the Hex shield. He crumples to his knees, but doesn’t instantly collapse in a heap. I think his reanimation in Westview will stick in the real world. 

It seems like the franchisees make or break your Red Lobster experience. Here in the Twin Cities, all the Red Lobsters STINK of fish (and that’s a bad thing for a seafood restaurant), and the portion sizes are miniscule and don’t even taste like what they’re supposed to be.

He’s right. It’s a terrible slogan. Heck, even the people who use the phrase have to clarify “well, we don’t really mean DEFUND. We mean reform, allocating resources to other orgs that can do parts of their job”. Then why “defund the police”? When even the people using the slogan have to immediately qualify it

No Blues Brothers?

The one thing that bowled me over about Harris’ speech was just how overwhelmingly JOYFUL she is. A lot of folks only knew her for her brutal committee questioning, but she is a joyful person. Is there anyone in the Trump orbit that has anything resembling joy?

That’s not ASMR - that’s a torture device for people with Misophonia. 

I saw the first episode and it’s sheer brilliance.

You’re a braver man than I am, Gunga Din.

In a proper stir-fry,  you’re constantly flipping the contents, not letting them sit at the bottom of the wok. In that sense, you’re flavoring everything with the steam of the other ingredients, instead of just frying them together. Big difference.

I’m not a gearhead, but I’ve been looking for a late-’90s early-aughts Jeep Wranger with a manual for quite a while. I had one for quite a while, and found myself in a familiar situation where the cost of repair would have broken the bank. Now, of course, with the ‘rona, I’ve been unemployed for six months, so no Jeep

Thunder Bay is just north of Minnesota, and is famous for its pierogies. I had a pierogie salad at a buffet there, and it was a revelation. Think macaroni salad, but instead of macaroni, pierogies! Amazing.

For a “family restaurant” or diner, it’s meatloaf for me. It’s easy to throw a bunch of ground meat in the oven, but the attention a spot pays to seasonings and meat choices goes a long way toward telling me their overall attention to detail.

Okay- “Staged” looks pretty damn promising. Which reminds me, I need to rewatch Good Omens for the 6th time.

My wife and I listened to Arthur C. Clarke’s “3001" on audio book during a cross-country drive. So many things struck me about the book (first being that he thought humanity would survive that long). The big one was the idea of comet miners in the Kuiper Belt snagging comets to hurl towards Venus to terraform it. I

I’ve really needed this whole story.

Sad to hear that all the Giz-related sites will eventually go to this new layout. It just doesn’t make sense to me. using /latest, I can still get my serial feed so I can scan articles one at a time. But this full-page stuff just seems messy. The eye isn’t drawn anywhere, it’s just randomized pandemonium. 

Man, I should just stop loving things at fast food Mexican restaurants.

“said that we’ll be the generation to eradicate racism” - um no. He’s too smart to make a claim like that. He said he thought we were up to the task, which is a very different thing.

Hopfen und Malz, Gott erhalt’s.
