I grew up in a place where you could just go outside and hear loons calling in the summer, so I never really associated the loon call with anything melancholy or more profound than “outdoors near some lakes.”

My first thought was “I would have thought Republicans believed in the sanctity of private property” but then I realized that Republicans don’t believe that children have rights between birth and adulthood.

If they want to double down on their wins, they should also ban everybody who complains about Steam not welcoming Crypto and NFTs on their platform.

When you order the tomahawk steak (an unusually thick ribeye marked up about 100% *at the butcher* because it involves less butchering) with about $5 worth of edible gold leaf on it, marked up to a thousand bucks or whatever then I’m pretty concerned about your decisionmaking before we even get to the wine.

It’s remarkable to me that Domino’s Test Kitchen apparently is not aware of the magic of sodium citrate for emulsifying cheeses.

I mean, I live in the Twin Cities, and the only white rabbits I’ve seen were people’s pets.  The ones that eat my garden are grayish.

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…

I would be more interested in some sort of existence proof of a method one could use NFTs that does not scam users.

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.

People who think that Stand-Up is inherently mean-spirited need to go watch the Paul F. Tompkins bit on peanut brittle.

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

I really hope that Disney sees fit to sell this as a standalone so I can buy it on Blu-Ray or digitally instead of signing up for Disney+.

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.

I guess the thing is that while nuclear power for cryptos are probably fine, using nuclear power for basically anything else is better. Like, you could get a bunch of disco balls in your home and run them 24/7 and that would be a better use of that electricity.

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.
