I think it’s more likely we have a giant economic crash and it’s you and me left holding the bag.

Also that’s unfair to modern art. The investor class (and money laundering) has an incredible warping factor on the fine art and gallery scene. Basically the only way to make a living as an artist of that sort is to get…

We finally got my mom off margarine, for a while at least, when the trans fat thing broke. She cooks with butter, quite a lot of it, but she still insists on margarine as a spread. But no longer subjects others to it.

Not so much my grandmother. It was margarine to the end.

I don’t like butter bells. They’re messy,…

Not a ton of people buying whipped butter on the regular. Besides every bit of it I’ve bought is in a paper tub. Unless it comes in take out container from the bagel shop. Which it usually does. Cause what the fuck else am I using that for?

No it’s because they can slap NFT on it, throw it into an unregulated financial market. And sell a bunch to people who’ve never played a video game. A lot of the root of the idea was how to break these things off from the game itself, out past that audience. How to make it an “investment”, or something an auction…

I was thinking more about trans fats. And kinda side eyeing whatever they replaced them with.

Oh no. It’s all to prevent 1 guy from buying all of it.

It really doesn’t. At least not with any style of pizza I’ve tried it on. But especially as goes NY pizza you aren’t getting anywhere close to the right fresh texture on a pan in the oven.

It also tends to be tricky to get home made pizza crisp on the bottom when using a pan. And even your frozen pizza says to cook on…

It’d need to be the right kinda dough. And I’m not sure papa johns can do that.

But generally it works better to get that crisp bottom and stretchy bread thing going if you reheat in a skillet.

If you want bubbly cheese you can preheat the skillet, drop the pizza in and throw it under a broiler.

Well like I said. The allocation is there to make it so Binny’s isn’t the only place in Chicago that can get it.

Because the loudest, most online game fans. With the deepest pockets. Are deeply obsessed with this shit.

So they’re an easy sale.

Many of the people making games, come from that same crowd. So they think it sounds like a good idea. Many of the people running big publishers come from the financial industry, and they…

Yeah the big names driving it have all turned out to be licensed brokers and other well off finance workers.

As they crowed about “defeating” a particular capital fund, most of the money made went to a slightly different capital fund.

Or slightly different finance bros. Who swept in to take over GameStop, with the big…

See what you’re not accounting for is how a lot of pre-made sauce is made.

keep a wider distribution?

The trophy hunters come later, as a symptom.

The Whiskey shortages come from booming demand, especially for bourbon. And primarily in China and Japan. Most brands over sold production, rat fucking their cellars for volume. Resulting a crunch on volume before they could ramp up. It’s only once something is already hard…

This has been a thing for a long while. Particularly with harder to find brands like Pappy Van Winkle, the empty bottles actually have a healthy value on the secondary market.

It’s like anything else. Don’t buy shit from sketchy sources. But it’s mostly thing in the whole collector/investment thing. 

The container has a date on it. If it’s ground and older than 6 months to a year.

Toss it. 

1. Who buys butter in a tub?

Dude that’s a wood oven. All “brick oven” indicates is that at least the floor of the oven is composed of brick. 

Wow my old boss who started as a commercial baker in East New York in the 60's. And has been using brick floor ovens for 50 years is gonna be upset to find out that he’s “Manhattan Bullshit” and has existed since 2000. 

No it innit. Unless by chance it one of the more expensive ovens with a brick floor. Not everyone of those you see is a brick oven. Often enough tile, often enough just metal. Depends on how much you spent.
