Watch any season of Top Chef, and you could probably find someone who could do Flay’s job once they got pretty good at being on camera. But people who could do Fieri’s job of genuine excitement and interest with strange charisma on top of it are going to be hard to find. I mean, they’ve been doing how many seasons of…

The worst offenders have to be the little ultra-dense nugget of peanut brittle that lodges itself in your molars when you eat a Butterfinger or Zagnut.

I’m willing to bet that Domino’s Corporate Development Kitchens has access to sodium citrate.

So if I haven’t played a Metroid other than Super and the OG one, is this a good or bad one to jump back into the franchise with? I never had a Gameboy (or Advance), GameCube, Wii-U, or 3DS so I missed a lot of these games but I do have a Switch.

Isn’t the solution to create a burner twitter/tiktok account to post the video?  Presumably the people selecting the prizes are just going to look at the hashtag (and no one else will).

I wonder if the calculus internally is that the formula is going to wear its welcome out most rapidly when you’re dealing with people who are going to play every one. When you have people who just stick to one of the franchises (I mean, I’ve played a lot of Assassins Creed, but never a Far Cry or a Tom Clancy) or you…

The one true halloween cocktail is the Corpse Reviver No. 2, but if you’re not going to spring for Lillet, then just make a bloody mary.  I don’t even want to know what “Swamp Water” is.

At its heart NFTs seem to be addressing only half of the response to “will you pay money for this jpeg?”, to wit “well, I could just right click and save it and then I would have the same jpeg without paying any money” without addressing the question of “why would one particular jpeg be worth anything to anyone?”

If I wanted to have all of those apes, I could just right click and select “save as...”. That way if the person running the website cuts and runs, I still have all those apes.

I had to check the date on this because I had literally never seen the berries and cream lad ad before watching it as part of this article.  I’m not sure if that means I’m out of touch, or that the costume will get you some weird looks.

I just got back into Kittens Game a few weeks ago after seeing a tweet about it.  On one hand it is a productivity increaser since “stop clicking on stuff and wait 10 minutes” is sometimes the best way to play the game, but I also fall into cycles of constantly crafting to keep my Alloy production up with my…

Boil peeled yukon golds until tender and falling apart, drain, blitz them in the food processor with minced garlic and unsalted butter, add milk while running until smooth and creamy then return to the pan, then stirring over medium heat add big handfuls of shredded mozzarella and gruyere until it becomes smooth and…

Ginger Ale/Beer. You can dial in your particular level of ginger you’re looking for ranging from “barely discernable sugar water” to “beats your tastebuds up with the ginger stick.”

I fundamentally don’t understand why a receipt needs to involve a blockchain. Like if I buy a digital file from Amazon, Steam, iTunes, or whatever I will receive a receipt from the person who sold it to me . Why isn’t that enough? That receipt will exist in my e-mail or whatever, so I can access it easily with minimal…

But I mean, if you buy a CD I can rip it into a bunch of different formats, and if I loan it to you can rip it into other formats. What NFTs are trying to claim is my digital files are somehow better or realer or whatever than your digital files, even if they’re of the same thing in the same format.

Well, October is Squirrel Awareness Month.

It baffles me that my generation came to understand that MP3s are just as good as CDs, that ebooks are just as good as dead tree books, that your Steam library is just as valid as a stack of cartridges or discs, and that Netflix streaming is as good if not better than buying a bunch of DVD sets that we’re now trying…

I mean, some years I’ll have fruit snacks in the bowl, and the Pearson’s Salted Nut Roll is always there and is at least better for you than Skittles.

I mean, one of the big sellers of McDonalds India is the McSpicy Paneer, which is also a fried cheese disc on a bun, so I am totally up for this.

I, for one, am I sucker for “mystery flavor”.  The 2021 “VOO-DEW” tastes like gummy worms and I would not recommend it.
