Nah:

Well, with a “wet brine” you’re adding water to the meat. You can’t add water to fat, which is not water soluble. So, the additional water in the meat steams the skin as it cooks out, making it less crispy.

Yeah salt leeching moisture into fat is a bunch of nonsense. It’s all about the timing. 

Good to see bmw is bringing back the Chrysler 200C

Hideous

There’s a guy who occasionally parks on my block with a satin blue wrapped 135 coupe. It’s hideous. 

These taste tests with just your husband and your kids seem... uh... less than definitive.

Breaded wings are not wings!

Taxis are great in Manhattan south of 96th street and nowhere else.

1) We completely disagree

I think we’re too far apart here to really go on with this. We’re just going to waste each other’s time.

I don’t think Snowden was engaging in both-sidesism. I think Snowden is a self-important, fuckchuckle libertarian who submarined 40 years of intelligence collection programs for funsies, and then made up a whole bunch of shit about how much he loved our freedoms. He loved this country and its constitution so much that…

Funnily enough, this invasion is really about Turkey trying to drink Syria and Iraq’s milkshakes, in the sense that was meant in There Will Be Blood

I wonder which friends of some Trump barnacle are getting sweet positions on the boards of Turkish oil and gas companies in exchange for this..

If he just exposed the programs, that argument might be credible, but he didn’t. He gave away the actual tools, which state and non-state actors are currently using.

Specifically to the Snowden leaks, these programs had been in continuous operation and development since at least 9/11. Some of them had been in place since the 70's. And I think if you’re going to try to police global terror and stay ahead of attacks, you do need some kind of robust global surveillance apparatus. The…

It plays into the “both sides are the same” trope that causes people to vote for wild cards like Trump, or at least for someone like Jill Stein. It’s plays into the “drain the swamp” narrative. I think Manning is less responsible for this than Snowden. 

My bad.

I don’t think comparing Snowden and Manning to what’s currently happening does our side any favors.

It’s a weird space, too. The street facing part is weirdly hidden and foreboding. I think they need to redo that whole corner.
