Some roommates and I used several Netflix accounts to order all six extant Harry Potter movies before the first half of The Deathly Hallows came out and then watched them in a day.

My wife eats this stuff. I think it’s disgusting—I’d rather have three bites of Ben and Jerry’s and call it a night.

That makes sense—I live in Somerville and work in Cambridge.

I was born in 1986, which I think makes me an older Millennial. My parents were born in the 1950s, solidly in Boomer Country (like Marlboro Country but worse).

I have also heard “Dunky.”

1. I could swear that some locations already use a paper cup, but maybe I’m wrong.

The worst part about this game is its nonsensical plot—the open world and sidequests were, for me, what made the game good. My least favorite parts were the actual story dungeons.

Also, I have never heard of it being illegal to call a 16 oz pint a pint in the United States. There is some trouble with 16 oz glasses being replaced by 14 oz glasses that are still called pints, though.

It must have taken a lot of restraint not to makes this into a seven minute video.

This is a perfect recommendation. I, for once, have no snarky complaints whatsoever.

“Hell” is German for “light.” It’s opposite is “Dunkel,” for “dark.”

I like it when a bar has a TV but no cable and plays old movies. It’s good for that afternoon time when not a lot is going on, so the afternoon crew can sit around and chat about whatever silly monster movie or Die Hard sequel the bartender chose.

Man, I was really expecting this to be a video listicle. Way to occasionally do something right, AV Club!

Ah, I have to admit that I find the Locke Lamora books to be a lot of fun.

Once I moved into an apartment that didn’t come with a microwave (the previous one had) and never got around to buying one. I didn’t really miss it, but then when the next place I lived had one again I got used to using it. Mostly I use it for an occasional TJ’s frozen Indian meal or for heating up leftovers.

Don’t forget meticulous fantasy accounting!

God, these books are such a chore to try to get through. It’s like Harry Potter if Harry Potter was boring and obsessed with made-up coinage.

Boy, TV critic types will never get tired of telling us that we watch TV wrong.

Now I look like a mega-douche, but at the time that I posted this, katie_keys had posted it twice, so I thought it would be hilarious to post it a third time. I have some regrets.

It’s a time and diminishing returns thing. Dry-aging makes meat more flavorful because you’re removing water and concentrating what is there, but that’s only at first. The longer something dries, the more volatile compounds are going evaporate too. In the freezer, the damage to the tissue structure probably actually…
