Always make sure to hang on to the Paid in Full notice that the collection agency is obligated to send when your debt is fully paid. Xerox it, digitize it, frame it if you like. If you have that, you can show it to them and tell them to go pound sand. They relinquished all claims to the debt when they sent you that…

A pastry cutter is my preferred tool for breaking down whole peeled tomatoes.

Dump’em straight in! Works great for frozen turkeys!

$35 seems to be the sweet spot for me. It gives me enough small bills that I can do purchases that might be too small to justify a credit card (either because the shop has a minimum, or because the gas station looks too shady to swipe my card).

Seems like trying to cut in a circular motion on an upturned head that is wobbly would be rather difficult.

What you think a small child will put on you:

Back in my day we had some decent cartoons that used to broadcast around wakeup time. You got the **** out of bed if you wanted to see Aladdin or Gargoyles before school.

Email addresses, yes. Not passwords. I was already signed up for HIBP monitoring, so I know which e-mail address it was. What I’m saying is that I may have 50+ logins associated with that e-mail address, so knowing which particular password was compromised would be very difficult.

You could also acknowledge the equally amazing Keith David, who technically voiced Mufasa at the table-read of The Lion King before JEJ did the final recording.*

I will admit to eating the blue box as a child, and even keeping the microwavable Easy Mac in my desk through college.

1st World Problems: I do use a password manager and all of my passwords are unique at this point. But since I have no idea which account was associated with the breach, I must assume it could be any of the logins attached to that email address and must now manually try about 75 passwords in Troy’s password checker, or…

No problems with NameCheap. They handle both the domain and the hosting for a reasonable price.

Thanks for reminding me of my New Year’s resolution: measure the dimensions of my tiny-ass apartment kitchen cabinets so that I can buy properly-sized storage bins and be able to actually reach the damn spices that I need.

Variety is nice, although I feel like you run the danger that the average person looking for a Photoshop alternative will try 5 of them, get frustrated with their initial learning curves (forgetting the extreme curve that PS itself has), and go back to Photoshop.

I mean...isn’t formal writing the very spot where we’re encouraged to do this sort of masturbatory verbal jousting? I’m not suggesting to do the college paper run-these-words-through-a-thesaurus routine, but yeah, a “sprawling complex” used instead of “large complex” is exactly the sort of thing I would expect to see…

I simply created a Shopping List note with checkboxes in Google Keep that I shared/invite to collab with my girlfriend. We can both see the list, add to it, and cross off the items when we get them.

Sure, but, how does that help for frying the capers?

Can I use stupidly tiny skillet for this in order to conserve duck fat? That shit’s expensive.

I’m a little suspicious of the author’s recipe transcription. I have Martin Yan’s China cookbook (signed by the author!), and pretty much every recipe in there that I can recall explicitly lists the ingredient as “Rich homemade chicken broth” (a reference to a how-to “recipe” elsewhere in the book). So I assume the “ca…

Doshin the Giant got a Gamecube port, and was even localized into English, but only for Europe.
