I wonder if Gizmodo will keep the same energy about Wholly Guacamole only giving out 54 guacamoles as it has for Jack Ma and his coronavirus donation.

And yet, if he had just donated nothing, this article probably doesn’t even exist.

I’m curious to know how pissed Matt Novak would be to know that I, a middle aged person who makes over the average household income, donated $25. Am I due a tongue lashing?

If you want to read about details of the actual trial, then maybe a food blog isn’t the best place to look?

You’re likely thinking a soccer inbounds pass. Basketball inbounds passes can be delivered in any way; there’s no restrictions. Soccer has to be done with both hands over your head.

Yes, the 5:30-8 reservations go almost immediately, and most others go shortly thereafter. Usually within the first day or so.

I’ve already made plans to dine at my nearby Din Tai Fung by the end of the week.

There’s no word on what brand of coffee was poured, but it’s a black cup with a black lid. Canadian coffee connoisseurs, please let us know.

Allow me to introduce you to one of the good guys, CZNBurak, the Turkish kebab master who warms your soul by staring directly into it while cooking.

It’s not weird that Alton Brown got shitty about it. Alton Brown is kind of a smug asshole! There’s nothing better than when he thinks he knows what he’s talking about on Iron Chef and one of the chef corrects him.

I have two coworkers who would be perfect matches for Perdita, but I can’t send this article to them because I can’t admit that I, a middle aged straight male, scroll through Jezebel while at work.

Southern California. I think I would find a situation like this more funny than irritating. I would likely be sitting with my wife or my party and cracking up every time this woman yelled something new. If it really bothered me that much, I’d talk to the staff or politely tell them myself to quiet down. I don’t…

I wasn’t making assumptions; it was hyperbole. You’re the one that said you’re “very confrontational.” To me, that typically means you’re overkill. There are other ways to deal with these situations than to “loud and sarcastically” yell “shut the fuck up.”

Right, but you can say something to her without being “very confrontational.” Nothing like turning a minor annoyance into something much bigger than it needs to be. Sounds like you go from 0-100 as fast as you wish your car did.

Perhaps “very confrontational” people who want to turn every minor annoyance into a fist fight should avoid going out in public too.

“can you...shut the fuck up?”

Quick question: Should the eggs be out-of-the-fridge cold when you’re dropping them in the boiled water, or should they already be room temperature? I was under the impression that cold eggs dropped in boiling water have a better chance of cracking.

Nothing. As far as cheap whiskey goes, it’s one of the best. I suspect you didn’t understand the point I was trying to make.

Imagine a bar stocking Evan Williams and then getting mad at patrons for asking for Evan Williams.

Sure, but it would be less filling. I don’t mind the extra carbs.
