Google “long COVID” and get back to me on the quality of life of that entire “survival” thing.

Tday in my family is largely them throwing me in the kitchen and staying out of my way. I brine and roast a birb, make mashers and dressing (the latter causes fights over the last serving), whip up a gravy, and other people can bring something if they’re really desperate to eat something else. It just isn’t…

I make stuffing from scratch. Portuguese sweet rolls, stock, dried cherries (that rehydrate in the stock), walnuts, celery. There’s usually a fight over who gets the last portion.

You need 3 orgasms a week to help fend off prostate cancer.

I’ve played some demos that did not inspire the purchase of ultimately good games. The demo for Ghostbusters: The Video Game (2009) skipped the tutorial completely and jumped right into the first level. This left a lot of gamers not understanding the basic game mechanics even if they HAD seen the movies.

Smelling an awful lot of “Apple doesn’t want you to do this” coming off that list...

Ya know, people who pride themselves on being brutally honest realistically should hand out a lot of compliments. Funny how they DON’T.

165F is the effective instant-kill temp for salmonella. Hold it there for 10 seconds and you’re good.

What ticks me off is when I pronounce a word incorrectly, and someone tells me that I’m wrong and the REAL way is %incorrect_pronunciation and DEMANDS that I use it that way.

Came for this, leaving satisified

We had a basset that we’d adopted as an adult. Apparently, he hadn’t been bathed regularly as a pupper, so when it was bathtime, he would start bellowing loudly during the entire ordeal and attempting to escape the tub. And then make a beeline for Mom’s garden at the first opportunity to roll in dirt. We eventually…

I still remember when someone went poking around the leaked Dreamcast build of System Shock 2 and found the source code for the Dark Engine. Work immediately started to improve SS2 and Thief II on PC (Thief 1 used an incompatible version of the engine). Proper widescreen support, max polycount raised, 32 bit textures,…

It needs a “WARNING: AVOID” icon. For the houses that hand out toothbrushes and lectures. Or the people who hand out Chick Tracts. Or hostile people in general.

Or maybe don’t buy into an ecosystem filled with expensive products designed to be easy to lose?

People interviewed were all extroverted Type A personalities, apparently.

It’s Apple. Their relationship with their customers is best described as abusive (right up to making it as difficult as possible to leave them). It’s safe to assume they have a workaround for this workaround.

Now I must buy Cornish game hens. Damn you, woman. Ever you add to my grocery list. *chugs Pepsi*  ;)

My issue with Impossible Burgers (that brand specifically) is that they have twice the saturated fat of a beef patty of similar size.

People in the south (especially Texas) call all carbonated beverages “coke.”

“What’ll ya have?”
“Coke.”
“What flavor?”
“Orange.”

THIS IS CONSIDERED A LEGIT EXCHANGE.

Well, it certainly deals with the “kid is not actually tired” issue. Here’s a book. Read until you timewarp to morning.
