I’ve lived my whole life in Detroit. While it has some shitty areas, like many other parts of the country, I would never refer to it as a ruined city. I love Detroit and have never not felt safe in literally any neighborhood. However, I’ve been throughout a good portion of rural America and its small towns and I’ve…

IDK about that. I’ve spent a lot of time in Chicago, probably more than anyone else who doesn’t actually live there. I used to fly in for work every week for about three years. It was a nice place to visit on the weekly. Granted, my hotel was always on the lake, right off the mag mile and I seldom had to venture to…

Found the racist. Your dog whistle sounds more like a foghorn.

Tell me you’re a racist without telling me you’re a racist 

Horlick’s is the true old man malt, but it’s impossible to find in most supermarkets. Asian markets carry it pretty often, though, and there’s always the internet. Here’s a little something I wrote about it years ago:

One of my friends is a total Sugar Monster, and every time we go get ice cream somewhere is go to order is a cookies and cream milkshake, malted. I love a Chocolate Malt myself, but this thing was literally the sweetest thing I had ever tasted, and not in a great way. At least this has more malt flavor. 

The ability to open/close the top at neighborhood driving speeds alone is worth having a power top.

That’s not actually true. It’s partly true in the case of trademarks, but not copyrights.

No, that only applies to protecting trademarks. 

Wow here’s this though:

I’ve worked at Subway. Our tuna came in big foil pouches, which upon opening looked and smelled like normal canned tuna, complete with a bit of oil. We put on plastic gloves, dumped the tuna into a bowl, dumped in mayonnaise, and squished it together with our hands.

It wasn’t disgusting. It wasn’t off-putting (although…

I’m a big fan of extra heavy mayo. It’s got better texture and flavor. The only problem is you generally have to buy it 1-2 gallons since its primarily used in food service.

Yes Guilliani made clubs and bars apply, and pay for, a “Cabaret License” which allowed more than 3 people to dance, or 3 people to perform, at a venue.

It was actually an old law that nobody enforced for years.

If you didn’t have that license, then the venue could get a fine for more than three people dancing. So a…

It is a Yiddish word so it is transliterated from another alphabet entirely and is a hybrid of German and Hebrew, so English rules aren’t relevant. Not sure about Hebrew, but pretty sure the K isn’t silent in German when followed by N.

Other countries vaccinate their chickens.

Here’s an “odd” request:

I did the Robin Sage a couple of times at Fort Bragg, which is the final test for Special Forces (not the actual training, just a support detail). This required a bunch of us to be in the woods for weeks with only MREs. Let me tell you: there’s nothing like the digestive distress one gets from eating real food after…

So - I should have said we do corn two different ways: a couple ears at once for dinner, or 14 dozen at once to stock up the deep freeze.

I do not get the ire for Erika Thompson. In my experience, almost every beekeeper has a different level of what they’re comfortable with, and some of them go into a hive with very little protection. As for the Trump-supporter claim, I’ve never seen/heard anything corroborating that, and her account shows her donating…
