Without the dancefloor and the pulse meter, it seems a lot harder to find the beat. So I wonder if this is going to be an “actions take place on the beat”without any punitive mechanics for missing a beat sort of thing.

I mean, the Zagnut bar is just a superior alternative to Butterfinger.

I mean, the first question I would have is- what precisely are you doing where it is important that the marshmallows are *dehydrated*?

One year I gave up “resisting temptation” for Lent. Probably the worst thing that happened to me during that period was “I ate a P’Zone.”

I feel like a large part of it is “Big open space without a lot of people or buildings” is much easier to simulate than a crowded space with lots of people and buildings (particularly if you want to represent the interiors, by letting people go inside.)

So I am from the Upper Midwest, and I do not and have never liked fried cheese curds. I mean fresh cheese curds are one of life’s sublime pleasures, but at the point your are breading, freezing, and frying them I want no part of it. Like that particular approach is better suited to pretty much any foodstuff that’s not…

I mean, you can buy bags of marbits on Amazon now. Something like $10/lb; you probably do not need more than a pound of dehydrated marshmallows for anything you should be doing.

“Should I buy oven-safe crocks, knowing I will probably use them for nothing but french onion soup” is a dilemma I often find myself facing.

It’s kind of just “variant falafel” then? “Falafel is delicious” should not be news at this point.

I mean, I don’t even want to talk to “gamers” and I didn’t make a game so they don’t even really have a reason to be mad at me.

So what happens to the baguettes that are discarded after 90 minutes of sitting around? Are they just going to go straight to the trash before someone invents like a crouton or pain perdu vending machine?

It’s going to be hilarious when the Budweiser branded meats have corn syrup in them.

Is “salsa jar” a standard size, or is this just a “use as much as is in your heart” kind of thing?

Feels like the thing to do is to just never buy “Live” games at launch. For any given one of these, if there’s a good game there in a year of two, I can have that experience without paying full price and if there isn’t I can just skip that one.

I mean if “bad PR that hurts the bottom line” is all they fundamentally care about, I figure they’d do better at this if they can somehow head off “Steam plans to sell a game about sexual violence” headlines before they have to make statements.

I feel like I had a natural advantage here, because unless you are uncommonly blessed with shamelessness you have to be able to feign some sort of interest in the topic if it’s called for - which is easy to do if the topic relates to like art, or history, or nature, or the universe... but I was in Math.

In grad school I would keep a spreadsheet of “which academic talks on the calendar were catered” and I sat through a great number of talks I had literally no interest on because I was banking on free pizza or bagels or fruit or something.

Mustard is so incredibly easy to make, I no longer buy it. All you need to do is coarsely grind mustard seeds, add salt and add-ins like honey or other spices, add cold liquid (water is fine), wait a minute or two (longer if you want it mellow), then add vinegar, and put it in the fridge. Mustard seeds are cheap, and…

So what happens if I try to brew with more than one kind of yeast? Do we end up in a situation where the yeast populations compete and one ends up dying out? Do we just create something gross so no one does this a second time?

I no longer trust aioli. It’s supposed to be an emulsion of mashed garlic and good olive oil (garlic is an emulsifier). It’s been bastardized until it means “mayo with stuff in it, but not enough stuff to affect the texture.” Please, leave anything that’s not garlic, olive oil, and like salt, pepper, and lemon…
