It’s really awesome to see you branching out, and cooking great food and sharing it with for your friends. That’s what it is all about for me.

I loved both Hercules and Xena, but I REALLY hope that is not the tone of the Conan show. The original Conan stories are some of my favorite ever and they are dark, brutal and savage. I really want this show to take itself deadly fucking seriously.

Yup. Mike is eating them wrong, as evidenced by his own photos. Shredded wheat cereals MUST be fully submerged in milk, and be left to sit for at least 60 second, but no longer than 5 minutes.

We’ll stop referring to millennials as one defined group around the same time we stop referring to baby boomers as one defined group of conservative, greedy, out of touch old assholes.

It isn’t right now, but it probably will be, for better or worse. He’s pretty much right about it, and you don’t seem to grasp the potential.

Hands down, this Volvo had the most comfortable seats I’ve ever experienced in a car.

The unflavored drip coffee at DD is passable, and way cheaper. The vast majority of Starbuck’s business is espresso drinks though, so not really relevant to the discussion.

Starbuck’s offered a passable product, in a completely open market. It EXPLODED, and kicked off a new wave of coffee. They have however suffered from the revolution they started. People have begun to learn to like better coffee, and the rest of the industry is moving past them (slowly).

Hamilton, you and I should be besties. I too love completely ignoring cause and effect, and rely solely on a 10 second surface-level evaluation to determine the worth of complex economically-impacting events.

For bar tenders, sure, they still make good money, I’ll not argue that. That being said, it’s still another responsibility that most other establishments do not have, so some room for a little bitching.

Sure, that is totally the law. Take out at place #4 would still usually clear min wage for that shift, just way less than they would have as a server.

This is a super hard one, because it depends on how the individual restaurant handles take out orders. I’ve worked at 4 different restaurants, and they all handled them differently.

Definitely not an “Excellent TV”, but absolutely a great value. I’ve got the 65", and while the blacks are TERRIBLE even after tons of setting optimization, anything brighter looks great. For the money I paid for it, it’s a great deal.

Thank you. I thought I was going crazy. This isn’t Panang curry at all, just a plain red curry.

I could not care less about semi-autonomous features in my car. I will avoid paying any extra money for any of them.

The phrase Cecilia was looking for is “All hat and no cattle”.

Should not assume, no. Always ask. Bonus points for a restaurant that fries is tallow (or duck fat) but is happy to provide a vegetarian version upon request.

This is a fantastic point that I had not thought of. The nature of Israel actively brings in people from all over the world, providing a much higher concentration of diversity.

“How would you put a lasso around American food?” says Michael Solomonov when asked to generalize Israeli food.

Good lord that NYPD response. Yeah Daniel, your science and tech blog should definitely do more puff pieces about single city police departments.
