Re: Docs in emergencies - I would not identify yourself as a doctor even if you’re done with your residency, board certified or whatever, UNLESS you’re specifically trained in whatever the situation needs, e.g., someone is giving birth or there is emergency medicine needed and you’re an ER doc. I work in a hospital as…

More than just the nomination itself, I am tickled pink by the fact that Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross also get nominations as co-writers. Reznor posted a pretty amusing instagram post in response to the nomination.

I remember getting drunk, demolishing that boss in one try, and getting a bad ending. The next night I tried again for the better ending, and it took me like 20-30 tries. 

Wow, thanks for the detailed explanation! I guess I’ve been here long enough that I remember too much of the “bad old days.”

Are liquor licenses not hard to get in NYC anymore? I recall that if you didn’t inherit the license with the storefront (e.g., a restaurant closes down and you take it over) that it’s a nightmarish bureaucratic experience, complete with bribes.

I’ve never even heard of the Kylo Ren account, but everyone should follow Petri. She’s an INCREDIBLY witty twitter personality, and her articles on WaPo are better than anything actual earnest OpEd writers at the Times could put out.

Plus, actual column writers, like this guy up here, use brackets to denote an identification of someone in a quote when the person doesn’t actually say the name in the quote, e.g., “...column writers, like [Drew]...”

Perennial reminder that Alton Brown is a VERY right-wing evangelical.

You don’t sue for the amount of money you expect to get. You sue for an amount much much larger, and then it either gets settled for a lower amount, or you win the full amount and then it gets decreased on appeal.

This bowled me over the first time I heard it. It was incredible. 

I can’t be the only one who uses the Thumbs Up to express my begrudging agreement in the most derisive way possible, can I? If you get a Thumbs Up from me, you should know it means “yeah, I can wait the half hour extra for you to show up at the restaurant, fuckface”

Yeah, I'm disappointed. 

Mine would be:
1) Gin martini (or just, a “martini,” because no one should ever assume vodka)
2) Manhattan/Rob Roy
3) Daquiri (that esquire writer was right - it’s the best test of a bartender’s competence)
4) Bloody (Mary/Caesar/Maria/Bull)
5) Old Fashioned
6) Aviation

Do you think if Trump won his bid for the Bills, he'd be president today? 

Sizzling take - the Fab Four (Bonobos, Adam Claytwothousandpounds, Thedge, and Larry Muller Sr’s Son) have released one good song, and it is “Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me.”

Frying the ginger scallion for a minute or two was one of the best cooking tips I’ve learned in recent years.

Charly Bliss did a cover of it either last year or the year before right here on the AVClub, and I would argue it’s the best cover the AVClub ever featured as part of that series.

This is the definition of breaking news. 

While she’s on TV excoriating the racism of her party, her husband is hard at work perpetuating it online. Quite the dynamic duo!

I feel like an absolute traitor to East Coast oysters, which basically created the NYC/New England economy in the 1700s (Mark Kurlansky’s book on the subject is utterly engrossing), but....you’re right. Kusshi’s are the best oysters. Followed by Gigacups, and then Kumamotos. But, for the money, I’ll gulp down two…
