Daily driver has to be safe, utilitarian, get good gas mileage, and be reasonably easy to maintain. Fun to drive doesn’t hurt.

Allison is a goddess. 

As best I could ever tell, this was “the world of food” and Lifehacker/Food & Drinks was for cooking etc. Now Lifehacker has been split off, and then separated from Kinja, and it looks like Allie Chanthorn Reinmann is keeping it afloat all by herself. But yeah, this is welcome. 

Agreed. I might do either, depending on how the timing of my day is going.

One thing that kept me from using dried beans was the notion that they had to be soaked first; that meant making beans had to be planned rather than spontaneous, and I usually decide what’s for dinner that afternoon. But you can bring the beans to a hard boil for 10 minutes, then turn them down to a bare simmer and…

My favorite part is that nobody has come back and checked, or read the comments, and fixed it. “Hey, we got paid. Fuck you.”

Hellenikon is 3x the area of MONACO, not MOROCCO. Morocco itself is 3x the area of Greece. 

I don’t want it, but it is definitely worth $5000. That truck has at least 5 more years in it.

I’ve taken to sneaking Velveeta onto my charcuterie boards. It passes reasonably well, actually. It’s a very pleasant mild, soft, inoffensive offering.

Eggplant. I’m inbetween on this one. Yeah, it’s tasteless and spongy. But yeah, it is pretty good fried, and with garlic. I’ll gladly eat it if served it, but I won’t make it, or search it out, or order it off the menu.

If you build it right, it maintains hot dog integrity to the last bite. As many people have written here, the order of ingredients is important!

The one on the left looks like what I might make at home, shopping here in NEPA where I have to make do with what’s available. No poppyseeds, best wiener available (maybe Alpine brand), pickled yellow chili peppers (Mezzetta brand), regular sweet relish instead of bright green, etc. So it will be good enough, but not…

I love your work. But did this need an article?

Huh? Where is Gilda Radner with the Harvey’s Bristol Cream? I got all the way to the end and expected it to be #1, but got a dick in a box instead.

The McRib sucks. The only reason people like it is because it is different. Otherwise, it is a worse pork sandwich compared to a good pork sandwich than a Big Mac or Quarter Pounder is burger compared to a good burger.

Way too much money for a really nice car.

For this car, I’d take it somewhere and have a high end double DIN with GPS, Android Auto/Apple Car Play, better amps, headrest speakers if they aren’t already there, time delay for spatial optimization, etc.

It needs about $5000 in sound system/GPS. After that… well, I’m Old. 

I wrote a sentence or two earlier. I’d written this up when it happened so I wouldn’t forget the details, but it took a while to find it.

I got pulled over and held at gunpoint for 2 hours on Rt 80 by the Ohio State Police for having a tag that was erroneously reported as stolen, with my wife and daughter in the car, after we had just passed a bathroom stop agreeing that we could make it another 20 miles.
