Random question - do you have any idea of MSG would work in a brine (either in place of some salt or in addition)? I’m totally hooked on Samin Nosrat’s buttermilk chicken/turkey recipe, and am wondering if this may kick it up another notch.

You see, but your system involves standing up. Mine doesn’t. What are you, some kind of parent with remaining shreds of energy?

This is true-ish, with the notable exception of my son who would happily sit in a his wet diaper for hours if no one stopped to check. Tracking was super useful, especially cause I could put a Baby Connect widget right on my phone’s home screen which would show exactly how many hours have passed since his last change.…

mmmm... butter jail

One of my favorite football moments from my time at UT was circa 2009 when Jordan Shipley returned a punt for a TD right towards Bevo XIV. The massive/passive steer lunged at Shipley, who had to leap out of the way mid celebration. It was hilarious.

2 Bird 1 Box?

This may be a weird hill to die on, but I would strenuously argue that California, Georgia, (West) Virginia, and Pennsylvania should be green, not red. The novelty of the red ones is that it adds an extra “i” that wasn’t otherwise there (e.g. Oregonian). California and Georgia both just had an “n” slapped at the end,…

Here are 45 economists. http://fortune.com/2018/06/04/recession-2020-trump-trade/

Now, that doesn’t mean it’ll happen! But people ARE predicting it.

Um, where do they say “nobody worth listening to expects an economic downturn in the next year”? They just said that unemployment is expected to continue down (which is good!) but for those of us invested in the markets, there are TONS of people who expect a downturn (and, not to mention, the fact that we’re already…

It’s on Switch now!

Good point!

Not to be that guy (and yet, here I go!), but shouldn’t it be 1496? The show premiered in 2016, and in theory, assuming all the “good place” stuff happens outside of the conventional timeline, wasn’t it just one year spent in Australia that passed since their near-death experiences, putting the “actual” year at 2017?…

This reminds me of something Hank Azaria once said when asked why Mel Blanc was so amazing. He cited a famous episode where Daffy Duck does a Bugs Bunny impression, and apparently, per Hank, it is one of the hardest things to do in voice acting to have one of your characters do an impression of another of your…

It took me way too long to figure out that that was Greg Daniels in the photo as well. I spent way too long trying to figure out if Michael Schur just got much older all of a sudden.

It may not be a Jameela vid, but this clip of the cast first learning the season 1 twist is one of my favorite things of all time. https://www.vulture.com/2017/09/watch-the-good-place-cast-react-with-shock-to-that-big-twist.html

I bought one of these last year and my wife absolutely vetoed me from setting it up. So it’s sitting in a box in the basement. So of course I just signed to buy a second. Cause she can’t veto me twice, right? Double jeopardy or something?

One of the best tips I got as a new dad/gamer was to embrace easy mode. Especially for the more narratively interesting games. Sure, you always want to have a challenge, but if I’m only going to be playing for 2-3 hours a week, I don’t want those wasted trying in vain to beat the same boss over and over again. This is…

I kinda thought the random John Mayer cameo would merit a mention, but I suppose you can't catch everything. 

Perhaps the celebrity exile bit, but the dude actually wrote an entire book about dating across cultures. He has legitimate expertise, all snark aside. 

Our almost five year old had the exact opposite reaction when his sister was born, and in a way it also kind of sucks. Like, he is OBSESSED with her. And yes, it’s sweet, and yes, it makes my heart grow three sizes each day. But also he will NOT. LEAVE. HER. ALONE. He’s always grabbing her and talking loudly at her…
