Regarding the “private worlds only for subscribers” thing- is this the first time an MMO has asked people to pay for the privilege of *not* playing with other people?

Why did he have to reactivate the cup for an additional surcharge? Is it $16.99 for the cup and unlimited* refills on the day you buy it, then you can get unlimited* refills on a subsequent day for $8.99? This seems like an exorbitant price for soda even though those Coke Freestyle machines are neat.

The Twilight Sparkle card namechecks Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, and presumably Fluttershy.  Does this imply the existence of another forthcoming set, or was there one before?  Or is this just another Steamflogger Boss situation?

This is why I ask for my pizza square cut- it builds a sense of community to share the unpleasantly spicy part of the pizza and it shares the burden because any one individual needs to eat less of it.

I’m mildly agoraphobic, so I don’t really like going out to restaurants to eat.  But nonetheless I find it comforting to believe that a restaurant is a physical place that I could go to if I wanted to.  So there’s something just disquieting about “virtual restaurants”.

I’m pretty sure the pumpkin came from a can, but apples do store surprisingly well.

You know how they got that name? The two people founding the convenience store had last names that started with K and G, so they had initially planned for “Kome and Go” but the sign maker charged by the letter and the rest is history.

I’ve never exactly understood what the point was of telling these implausible stories about how your neighbors are trying to poison/corrupt/whatever you with their Halloween candies. Just to promote a general sense of paranoia or what?

I keep the Chi-Chi’s medium around in the cupboard (or fridge) for cooking with, it’s pretty perfect for that.  Plus they sell the big containers for like $3 at Sam’s Club.

I’m a lapsed magic player, but I always found “preventing the opponent from playing” to be the most satisfying way to win.   Who can deal damage most efficiently is less interesting than “trying to have a countermeasure for everything.”

Help me understand Domino’s position here.  It feels like they are spending a lot more money on lawyers to contest this than they would need to pay tech people to make their website work with screen readers.

It really feels like “put it all in your mouth at once” is the absolute worst way to enjoy good whiskey.  I mean, other than putting it in your butt.

I’m not sure there’s time to work this in given the shooting schedule, but Jason would love Gardner Minshew...

Feels like this is a pretty safe thing to guarantee since in the history of the human species there has never been anybody who was pregnant who remained that way in perpetuity.  But unlike other guarantees (e.g. death, which comes for us all) this is something that the target audience generally wants.

Since the FDA limit on caffeine in a 12oz cola beverage is around 71mg, I have to assume this is just a way to caffeinate the coke more.

I guess that also explains why all the “Asian Noodles and Sauces” are in the same section too- the shelves are stocked by the 3rd party the store buys them from.

The one that always gets me is how the grocery store has “canned beans” in two different parts of the store- once in the latin section where you get Goya and La Preferida and a few others, and once in the “canned vegetables” section where you get Bush’s and the store brand and a few others.

So that averages out to 1 ice cream cone, per person per day, which seems reasonable.  But then it also averages to 10 meals per person per day which is amazing.

I mean, in Chipotle’s culinary milieu the obvious plant-based protein to put in your burrito or bowl is *legumes*.  I would say beans, but lentils are also potentially appropriate.

So wax fruit is clearly inauthentic.
DOP San Marzano tomatoes are more authentic than “San Marzano” tomatoes from the U.S.
Tilapia passed off as sea bass is not authentic.
