OMG NO not the shredded chicken mini quesadilla??? That’s MY 7 layer burrito! The spicy sauce blend is PERFECT for clearing out my sinuses its my total guilty pleasure.

Awful. It would be nice if corporate instead incentivized getting food access into underserved areas by reducing franchise fees and providing useful support instead of this “gotcha” screwery.

The idea about splitting the wireless networks is great. My work laptop has spotty connections and mediocre speeds to the router just 2 rooms away and I often wonder if it’s getting the slower band or not.  I don’t have the mental bandwidth to try any of this now but I hope to have the brainpower to try it in the…

Wow it’s going to be an unrecognizable mess.

I know whenever one of these “old food” snippets hit social media a lot of people wig out over them as if the effect is caused because they’re “nearly pure salt” or otherwise “loaded with chemical preservatives.” It’s nothing so complicated. The food just dried out before it rotted. You take any thin hamburger patty…

I’ve never actually made traditional Mac & Cheese from scratch. It just never felt like it was worth the time though it’s on my bucket list of things to try cooking. I usually do go with Kraft but until the pandemic only had it once in a while anymore. Recently I’ve been having it maybe once a week because I’m 1) feeli…

Interesting. I’ve been in a situation without a car for a few months and the DG across the street from my apartment complex was a big help. Just getting milk, and some lunchmeat and some canned goods let me eeke by until I got a lift to the real grocery store from friends. Someone tried to put a produce stand into…

I try to mitigate this effect by putting some amount of chips on a plate/bowl and putting the bag away before eating any. It’s a little helpful.

And it’s not just salt, sugar, and fat we’re dealing with. Look at the ingredients in Doritos - there’s MSG as well, so the umami/savory taste bud is being kicked. And did you…

Shoggoths, huh. I was thinking they were some kind of steroided up ghouls.

Get rid of? Ok now I’m picturing a Desperate Housewives esque murder plot run by several Mafia Wives trying to get their dumb kids into a choice school. 

You’re doing it right. : )

I think we can all agree that there are a loose set of rules for pasta salad: No mayo (that’s a macaroni salad), some sort of oil and vinegar, short noodles only (nobody wants to slurp up cold linguine off a paper plate),

TLDR it depends on the show, sometimes the dubbing is quite good and sometimes not so much. I thought DARK had good dubbing (I had the subtitles on too). I routinely watch Asian dramas in the original languages with subtitles though.

Interesting... I think texture can also be an issue, I know my cat prefers certain blankets to sit on. But interestingly, going along with the box idea... I have an old wingback chair in the bedroom for dressing and TV watching. After I got my cat a new shaggy throw to lounge on, and he definitely enjoyed it, one day…

I’m there with you. The first time he showed up in a video I literally thought, “who’s this douche? He doesn’t seem like an actual cook” and then I dived into the comments and was informed who he was.

That sort of typifies the problem I saw happening very quickly. At first there were quirky enjoyable videos and then…

Maybe but considering how slapped together and undervalued the contracts were, I’m hoping they have minimal non-compete clauses. Or maybe print non-compete not video! Wouldn’t that be a riot, if because they undervalued people like Sohla so much they didn’t put a noncompete in video clause in??

Just mechanically speaking, eating food with COVID-19 viral particles in it will probably just result in the viral particles being dissolved in stomach acid if the particles weren’t already killed during cooking. The concern would be particles that incidentally got into your respiratory system - say by putting your…

That’s good but with the recent DC streaming service staff cuts I will have my fingers crossed until an actual announcement is made. That said ....

I just watched all the episodes in the last 2 weekends when I realized it was on HBO Max. I was a lot less impressed with season 2 than season 1. I was entertained, and…

I think sometimes people just want to buy a name and slap it on to crap for some easy profit. I’m not sure if that’s better than when someone actually creative is given an IP someone else made and they then proceed to throw most of it away to make up their own stuff instead (see: True Blood, every season except the…

I thought Nocturne originally came without Dante, but then he was added in the director’s cut ~ which was the version that was ported to the US?
