The best part of the episode was seeing Dexter’s angry face as he enters the gym arena after he sees Kurt mentoring, and later hugging Harrison. He looked, convincingly, like he was going to really fuck Caldwell up (likely a sign of things to come). As it’s been the case from the very beginning, I would never watch…

The Harrison/Dexter scenes and the Dark Kurt scenes are so much more interesting (and, frankly, better acted) than everything else around them. I don't care about the podcast stuff, the sheriff's suspicions, Harrison's teen romance.

I thought it was pretty good overall. The only part that actually bothered me was Dexter trying to ease his way around saying anything definitive to the therapist, when he should have known that Harrison wasn’t going to be buying any of it.

You need to normalize your data for miles driven in Teslas vs. not Teslas, your comparison is meaningless.

Your links don’t prove anything. You might want to show the number of deaths per miles driven, and how many teslas are there compared to every other vehicle on the road, and so on.

BTW I have owned five cars now with different kinds of ‘self driving’ software. The above is true for all of them, except with the German cars I’ve had you can easily drive them just as if the assist system is only backing you up and feels natural to use safely after getting used to them, which can take several weeks…

You must be one of those Tesla fanboys that owns the stock but not the car. I own a Model 3 and if you did, you’d know how easy it is for this to happen. The car requires a significant amount of torque on the steering wheel to exit out of autosteer/FSD. After that it does back to steering normally. So you have to be…

Just because Tesla has no PR department doesn’t mean you have to volunteer.

“hating small talk” is fine IF THAT’S WHAT IT REALLY MEANT— But it is not, “hating small talk” is usually code for “I resent (and might just outright refuse to engage in) those little social rituals that are the lubricant of interpersonal relationships.”

It’s a huge red flag, because it’s just so often said by people…

And then chefs wonder why nobody takes “molecular gastronomy” seriously.

NOBODY wants to eat foam that tastes like eel farts. If I want to eat an Eggs Benedict, the classic is just fine. I don’t need to have powdered egg, on English Muffin foam with frozen chunks of Hollandaise.

I have one of those too! I’ve gotten all kinds of use out of it. About the only thing that’s ever defeated it was a particularly badly stuck Honda crankshaft bolt. I’ve been pretty pleased with the Sawzall knockoff I bought from them, too. (The Sawzall blades they sell are terrible, though, get good blades.)
The secret…

That’s incredible. The most I ever got out of my 96 5 speed was 22mpg, but I never ran an entire tank on the freeway and it had the extra weight of the 4x4 system.

Well, if there is(are) Holy Grail(s), that does imply the possibility of equally UN-Holy Grails. I suppose... :)

“a citrus foam – was served in a plaster cast of the chef’s mouth. Absent utensils, we were told to lick it out of the chef’s mouth”

... but it comes with your choice of free toppings?

I have never been to a steakhouse that doesn’t have accommodations for vegans.

This restaurant failed to feed their guest anything of substance for over 4 hours of them being there. It failed. Full stop.

The 22-year old was reportedly driving from his hometown of LaGrange, Georgia back to his university in Auburn, Kansas when he went missing.

One of my favorite spots to take people to in Vegas is an incredible little tapas spot in China Town, off the Strip. We always do the chef’s tasting menu, which is $60 (so, obviously not as fancy as this place in the article). It’s 6 or 7 courses, tapas style, so a bite or two each. That said, in those 6 or 7…

Many of the most pretentious chefs seem to have forgotten the foundational purpose of their careers is to feed people. They write it of like an outsider sculptor who shellacked a turd and called it art. It doesn’t matter how beautiful, weird, or confusing your food is if your guests left hungry: you failed.
