Honestly you gotta be a little baby-brained to get bent out of shape over POS tip prompts. Like, use your head. No, the corner store that sells chips and cigarettes does not actually expect a tip, they’re clearly just saving money by paying for a prepackaged POS system.

Any time I come across a recipe online that I’m interested in trying, my first step is entirely rewriting it in the steps I will need. If one of the ingredients is (for example) “1 cup diced onions”, I replace that with “1 onion” and add a step for “dice onion”. And they probably didn’t factor that into the time…

The only part I enjoy about this holiday is when brands do it with clear intentions. Blizzard regularly posts some hilarious patch notes on April 1st that include things like “Deleted rogues from the game” or “Due to the size difference Taurens now kill Gnomes when walking over them”. Things that are 100% clearly a…

Respectfully, not quite. Just this past week I sent an email in which multiple people were copied (including some who were originally in the list and had been removed by one participant who didn’t want certain others to see their reply), and identified at the end of my direct response that particular person (using the…

Also: Don’t end emails, with the extra wall of text in your ‘signature’...that states things like “If this email was not meant for you, please delete. blah blah responsibility on you to delete...blah blah..information..court of law..doesn’t apply..”

IMO - at work entirely.

Same on all counts.

Along with all manner of biblical sign-offs: God Bless, Blessings, Be blessed, and His peace be upon you (yes, I got that one once). None of these belong in work e-mails.

Can we all agree that ending emails with a biblical quote or a gif of your favorite sport team is completely inappropriate in all work settings?

Simple. Throw the pineapple to the garbage before letting it get anywhere close to the pizza. Pineapple is perfect in tacos al pastor. In pizza, it is a monstrosity that shouldn’t ever have been permited.

This strikes me as less “bad recipes” and “how to tell if a recipe was professionally developed, tested and written vs. something some Suzy Homemaker randomly decided to post on her blog”; while it’s true the latter is much likelier to be “bad” than the former, I’ve had plenty of wins with both types, and plenty of…

I generally prefer all measurements to be in weights, even for non-baking recipes. For instance, when a recipe calls for “half a butternut squash” or “half a green cabbage” or “two shallots,” those are all things that come in wildly different sizes.

In what world is the myth “Lube is only for penis/vagina sex”?? I would have sooner said that this is what dispels that mytg, with most people thinking lube is meant for anal penetration...

I disagree with this one. My wife and I use lubricant every time, it and makes things more enjoyable for us. There is absolutely such a thing as too much though. If we go overboard there isn’t enough friction for me to derive a whole lot of feeling from it.

Regarding “organic” produce, a lot of people seem to believe that “natural” (organic) pesticides are somehow safer than lab-produced pesticides, yet some organic pesticides are actually far more toxic.

OK Go! had the name first.  It would probably be fine if OK Go! consented to the name usage. But they’re not ok with it. And Post is being a dick besides. I’m totally with OK Go! on this one.

It’s not unreasonable to think that a band might endorse or lend their name/image to a product. Especially if it’s a band known for being media savvy.

People who need to be told this probably shouldn’t be allowed to operate a stove. 

Teach your kids to behave.  If they need a tablet to sit at a restaurant, its your fault, not the server’s.
