I purchased an induction cooktop when I renovated my kitchen. Growing up with conventional electric cooktops, and seeing gas ranges in all of the cooking shows, I had always assumed gas was best. Then I used a plug-in induction hob in an apartment, and I knew it was the way to go. I preferred it because it didn’t heat…

Wait, you don’t believe the science? Wow, I’m blown away.

You don’t need a video. Here’s everything you need to know about investing in cryptocurrency:

Well, if Tiktokkers are doing it, I’m in. Those people are always so erudite and knowledgeable about everything.

Take out your Instant Pot (you should have one, it’s very versatile). Add Yukon Gold potatoes (chunked into big chunks) and water to cover. Pressure cook on high for 8 minutes, release pressure, drain, add butter, milk, sour cream (if desired), salt and pepper, and mash. 20 minutes. Done. Did this routine once, and…

Always amusing to read about the necessity for outside parties to address Apple’s stupid design decisions, to help their customers (who they don’t seem to like very much) use their hardware.

I wish I could get my wife to understand that she’s not allergic to soy milk. She bought the dumbass phytoestrogen nonsense that plagues the “natural” food sites, and swears that soy products mess with her hormones. Ugh. I like the flavor of oat milk in my coffee, but soy tastes even better.

Sure, it looks more realistic, but it also looks too friendly. The original skin had a more dingy, run-down look, and this refresh makes everything too shiny and bright. I know it’s before Portal 2's time skip, but still. Tone it down a bit.

Reading the headline and seeing you open with the cut song from The Muppet Christmas Carol, I assumed the article was about scenes that made movies better because they were cut. That song is terrible.

Ooh, ooh, I know! It keeps being useless! What do I win?

Uh, no. Crust-to-filling ratio of small pies is wrong. Just because you can’t figure out how many pies to make, doesn’t mean everyone else needs to do four times the work.

I mean, if I know a vegetarian, or someone with obvious allergies, will be attending, I will at least try and provide something they can safely eat. Because I try to be a good host, and not an officious prick.

I know roasted turkey can be dry and flavorless, but that’s turkey’s nature. It’s supposed to be that way

If your turkey is dry and/or old, learn how to cook turkey.

I got my “gaming PC” as an upper-end business workstation through Dell a little over three years ago. i7-8700K processor, Nvidia 1080 Ti GPU, 16GB RAM, 256GB SSD, all for $1349. I might have been able to do it cheaper if I built it myself, but 0% financing is very nice. These days, given that I’m not a hardcore gamer,…

I make my mashed potatoes in my Instant Pot (3 pounds of perfect mash in 15 minutes? Yes please!), and I always throw in a few cloves of garlic. The cooking process softens the cloves so well, they mash right in with the taters. I’ll have to try including some herbs, though I don’t usually like green in my potatoes,…

I installed this game for free. I overpaid for it. I’ll wait for New Vegas to go on sale. I hear it’s not terrible.

Amazing how many people just parrot whatever anti-science conspiracy bullshit they hear on the Joe Rogan Show. COVID killed friends of mine. It’s not a bad cold for some people. Long COVID is ruining lives. But please, do go on about a condition that is way more common for young people who catch COVID (multisystem…

Lost count? Can’t count to three? FFS, this site.

I have a penis. I clean the bathroom in my house. I sit when I pee. And I extend that courtesy to other people’s houses. Public bathrooms, not so much. Mainly because I want to touch as little as possible in there.
