Motion that no one gets their nails done unless they can verify that the technicians working at that particular salon are not working in slave or near-slave conditions. Tipping might make you feel personally better, but it doesn’t fix the industry or keep the bosses from just skimming more tips. if you’re going to pay…

You can demand political change, you can refuse to patronize salons that engage in this kind of fuckery. You say grand standing, I saw organize for change.

Or that we require the enforcement of labor laws so people are paid just wages. Tipping is a hugely problematic system that does not improve worker treatment. Every evaluation of tipping indicates it’s racist and sexist as hell for workers and encourages racist and sexist treatment of customers.

But this also suggests that if they were straight dudes Justin fears that she would bang them. Mutually impossible banging accomplished, I guess.

because she is afraid if she would hire 2 female nannies JT would bang them.

Sick mohawk dude!

Reminds me of a possibly apocryphal tale: police bust some guy for whatever crime, fraud/hacking/etc., and find all the evidence they need to prove the crimes saved on a disk. Once they’re back at the station with the haul, the lead cop tells one of the rookie cops to “make a copy” of the disk.

When I get my time machine running, I’m coming for you, 1985 James Spader.

I actually get so happy when I see this on a user’s browser. It’s like “I am pretty sure I can fix all 34 of this lady’s problem in like 15 minutes and take the rest of the day off”

huh. and internet explorer gets all the hate.

OK, here’s a really ancient story. I was told this by Dr. Bill Hays, the BYU CS department chair back when I was an undergrad in the mid-1970s.

The story about the guy with Alzheimer’s is actually quite sad. What happened at the end of that story should be absolutely illegal - exploitation of the mentally ill/deficient is plain wrong to begin with but it happens all the time because “even though it is immoral, it isn’t illegal” therefore it must be okay.

This one is my favourite by quite some distance. Absolutely love it!

I would argue pretty strenuously against adding salt to a stock-in-progress. I think leave it neutral, and season it as you use the finished product, according to its intended use. If you want to reduce the stock to make a sauce, if it has already been salted, you run the risk of an overly salty sauce that can…

If you don’t want to buy raw chicken specifically for stock: I remove the backbone from the chicken before roasting (a process delightfully called “spatchcocking”), which gives me a big, meaty, bone-y piece of chicken with no culinary use at all except stock. When I accumulate more than two or three of those in the…

I’m sorry, I blacked out after “hates dark meat.”

I do want to say, for the eight Deadspin commenters who actually dabble in quinoa, making it with chicken stock instead of water makes it taste 500,000 times better. Once you use stock you will never go back.

Just to say it, so that it is said: the green parts of leeks are the very best stock ingredient. Also, hell with skimming. That fat is goddamn delicious.
