I feel like the biggest issue is that there are a lot of chores that need doing, but aren’t exactly things that need doing now- for example vacuuming. When it’s one person living alone it’s “I’m going to vacuum when I have the time and determine that the need for vacuuming is sufficiently high”, so it’s largely a test…

I feel like the failure of Quibi was entirely predictable.  Yes, people perhaps want to watch something when they do not have 30-60 minutes free.  But books are an old form of media, and while some have short chapters, some have long chapters, and some have no chapters all people have figured out how to use bookmarks…

I will miss Sizzler primarily in its role as an improv prompt.

Considering no one really goes to weddings *for the food*, I’m allergic to shellfish,and I can poach my own salmon and slice my own steak I’m just going to have the chicken. It’s hard to truly mess up chicken.

This is reminiscent of Chicken scarpariello, with all the cherry peppers and the acidity in the sauce.  I wonder if it has a common ancestor.

Popcorn has been my main “eat your feelings” quarantine snack. So I’m doing my part!

This is a roundabout way to get Obsidian to make another Fallout game, right?

So there’s absolutely no chance I buy the game (because the hard working, presumably decent people in the studio do not stand to benefit financially from my purpose, but *she* does).  But my heart goes out to all the people at the studio who, when they started, were excited to work on a beloved pop culture property…

I have long had two complaints about CFA (in no particular order):

A couple years back I had some ghost pepper fried chicken (“Poultrygeist”) from a really good sort of foodie fried chicken place, which has provided the endpoint for my search for ever spicier fried chicken. The chicken can, and should be as spicy as it needs to be to work with the other flavors, but “spice for its…

Wait, so drinking 2-3 litres of water before bedtime isn’t normal?

I , too, am old.  The first time I ever became aware of Travis Scott was when “Cactus Jack” was trending on twitter and I clicked on it thinking that Mick Foley had done something.

They’re only really good when they’re stale, so this is going to tax some people’s strategic Peeps reserve.

It might be my tinny laptop speakers, but I could not understand a single thing Adam Sandler’s character was saying in the trailler. While “a character unintelligible to the audience” can work (c.f. Isaach de Bankolé’s french speaking ice cream vendor in “Ghost Dog: Way of the Samurai”) it’s not generally the main…

Most of the “authentic” up north Porkettas I’ve had came from Zups in Ely, and the seasoning they use has something red in it (pepper flake and paprika, by my guess).

I plan on just leaving a small amount of candy in a bowl at the end of the walkway.  Then I will refresh it periodically.

I kind of wish there was a series S with a disc drive and more storage.  I don’t care about 4k at all.

Everything is a sandwich. The answer to “is [foo] a sandwich” is always “yes”.

As someone who has spent a lot of time in Iowa, I’ve had some really good gas station pizzas.  Honestly the Taco Pizza from Casey’s is to this day one of my favorite pizzas of all time.

My hot take- at the point where wings are the most expensive part of the chicken by weight, it’s time to stop eating “wings”. The whole idea of “buffalo wings” was because wings as a food are complicated and unrewarding to eat compared to the rest of the chicken, so they were super cheap, and so establishments figured…
