I’ll never understand the modern powerless British monarchy. Their job seems to be 99% waving at cameras with tightly polite smiles. Probably takes a lot of schooling to learn to wave the “proper” way.

This reads like dumbass mad libs. Further, if she truly escaped from Poland during the Cold War and she knows what it’s like to live in an actual communist dictatorship she should be fucking embarrassed if that’s the equivalency she’s making now. Really, closing your restaurant during a fucking once-in-a-century…

I am amazed at the number of steps it took for someone, anyone, to hit the pause button on this whole thing. The places where a McDonald’s employee should have stopped and said, “Wait a minute...” include:

Still boggles my mind anyone thinks that a third party gift card is the proper payment for ANYTHING (other than some some gross fried food or whatever the hell Rutters sells (side note, I grew up with the Rutter family, very nice people)).

Sounds like your wife might need to sign up.

One slice per day is correlated with increased risk. It doesn’t increase risk, that we know of, but may be an indicator for people at risk. As this very article goes into, there are a lot of factors that also go with daily consumption of processed meats and increased risk of dementia, and the link could very well be…

I usually assume “processed” means “cured with nitrates”

A quesadilla has to be cooked in an oven whereas the burrito is constructed and handed off to the customer without a cooking period

My wife is a nurse. She was exposed at the tail end of February and we went into two weeks of quarantine. By the time our quarantine ended, the rest of the world was shutting down. My wife went back to work at her hospital’s ICU. There were not enough masks, or gloves, or cleaning supplies. People were using N95s,…

Between the mushrooms’ natural moisture plus the whatever is clinging to them after washing, there’s more than enough water to make it work. That’s why I put the lid on for the first few minutes of cooking—it traps everything inside while the heat wilts the mushrooms, pulling out their water. 

Let’s say that what I originally wrote was much more descriptive, and my editor changed it because the world probably wouldn’t be able to handle it.

Organic is almost a scam for rubes.

Good luck surviving when all the world’s cats are stalking you, hellbent on revenge.

Nutritionally it’s a lot better than Slim Fast or Ensure, and tastes a lot better, too. Seriously, I did not expect to like this stuff at all. I really thought this was going to be a very different piece than the one I ended up writing:

I think this is more a case of people with too much money and a desire to find ‘the next big thing’ to make massive returns rather than moderate returns you’d get from index funds.

I always thought this, too, but this experiment definitely changed my opinions. As a recipe developer and esteemed fast food critic my diet is pretty lousy, and my husband is ALSO a recipe developer who’s currently working on a bread book. For the past few weeks, when we’re not eating work-related food our dining out,…

So why was Archie the one compared to a Chimp instead of George or Charlotte?  

You are using the “No True Scotsman” fallacy on race. And since race is some made-up shit you can sorta get away with it. But I tell you, if my daughters are black enough to get a heaping dose of racism, they are black enough to be black.

Seems like Markle is not black enough for you to defend her, and not white enough…

Correct. In a world where the standard rule is “every empty seat is a free for all after takeoff” there will be melee near first class as people try to nab the empty seats, especially on long-haul flights, resulting in fights and inevitable delays/diversions (beacuse you know we can’t have nice things).
