I’m a lot less impressed by the cake these days now that I know you can order it yourself from the same source.

IF you have to talk to a robot, it’s fun to talk to a robot mimicking a famous voice.  GPS/nav systems have been using famous voices for years and years now.  You can get Darth Vader to tell you where to go while you drive, and it was a popular feature.

I (well, my home) was a sample for a home air quality study once, and for my particular study, they had to ban homes with any pieces of furniture purchased less than a year prior to sampling dates, because they off-gas glue and cleaning chemicals and sometimes artificial scents and would mask what was actually being…

Touch screens in general should be banned while driving. I can adjust a volume knob or a tuning button or a skip track by touch, and we’re at a place technologically, where I can use voice to pick a playlist or a station on my device.  I have to look at a touch screen.

What kind of peanut butter are you buying that you rank it better than fast food in a sugar/fat/salt competition? I’ve checked mine, and it wins against a Big Mac but not against tacos.

Locally, my mall food court places went immediately to the delivery app options, pretty effectively, and most of them weathered the closures.  I’m really curious about the idea that the ghost kitchen you had wouldn’t serve food direct... as long as direct pick-up was an option, there’s nothing stopping you from eating…

The issue I have with convenience store food is that it’s not always available. There’s a 7-11 equivalent across the road from me, but they only carry hot food during the school day for high schoolers, and around supper time, when I would be looking for a McD’s alternative, they have nothing hot and ready, and it’s…

Wasn’t there a concept going around last year, with regards to ghost kitchens losing out on walk-in diners, to have several set up in a central location with central, shared tables, that we all derided as being a food court (which it was)? It’s not a new idea, but it was a GOOD idea.

The first time I ever actually enjoyed tofu was the first time it was ever presented to me as “It’s not a meat replacement, it’s its own thing.” The panini place using counter space in the bar/cafe I was working in had a smoked tofu sandwich, and when I scoffed, they offered me one to try and convince me it was good.…

There’s some context missing from the post you’re replying to. If it is the case that they are hiding tofu, claiming it’s something else, then yes, that’s terrible in exactly the same way tricking vegans into eating meat is. There are many people with soy allergies... but people with food concerns, by choice or…

Speedy recovery, Mark Sheppard.

I love “I Am Legend” the novella. It’s on my list of top ten things I’ve read that made me who I am. And when the movie was in production, I was excited. I generally like Will Smith, and I liked him enough in Ali to believe he could do it.

But would you watch a reboot of “G.I. Jane” post-slap? That’s the real question.

I had the same thought, but upon discussion with a business-minded friend, it was pointed out that their ownership of this is most likely trademark related and not ownership of a particular hex code or paint mixture.

“they’re made from hamster bedding, newspaper inserts and sand emptied out of bathing suits.”

I’m pretty sure any monopoly Subway is part of can only be referred to as “Not Quite as Big as Advertised” Sandwich.

I keep powdered milk on hand for the same reason! My kids love it fresh though so we have both, but I have my son trained to go get the carton himself.  He takes the first one he sees unless the date is for tomorrow.

Do we think Dean Winters has been type cast as a recurring ex with ties (of some kind) to sexual predators, because I think he did the same thing on “Law & Order: SVU” after spending the first season(s?) as a the rookie detective in the unit. He and Benson had a recurring thing that brought ripped from the headlines…

Sorry, the reach-to-the-back trick for meat isn’t a life hack, it’s selfish, and often goes hand in hand with incredibly rude behaviours. The same goes for taking milk from the back, or any perishable. If we all do this, the meat at the front goes to waste, or goes to those folks who can’t hover like vultures in the…

Is the intimacy coordinator example a concrete one? If you take a job that promises to have one and they don’t, yes, refuse, and make a hell of a lot of noise on your way out and in protest outaide the set. And I admit (with extremely limited, pop culture based knowledge) that intimacy coordinators are probably…
