Now You See Me 2 should have fucking been called And Now You Don't, and it makes me irrationally angry that it wasn't.

Makes a great hot tea. Very aromatic. You don’t have to dry the leaves, but it helps. Hibiscus ice cream is a winner, too.

First reports (always suspect) seem to imply that the pilot was scud running — flying low level VFR in very poor weather conditions.  So my suspicion is CFIT.  Time will tell.

Punching down is a core GOP value.

That’s why the heat vent is at the top - combination game console and hot air fryer. 

It’s not a hard and fast rule, but it is strongly recommended. There’s a few franchisees that own 2 or 3, but that’s very rare. They want franchisees to actually be involved in their store and not be some big outside management company with no personal involvement.

Hell yeah and in Japan too!

But home fries are so much better! Just cube up a potato or two and fry it in the bacon/sausage grease and a little butter if your meat was on the leaner side. Sure, it takes some time, but this is a breakfast for the weekends and holidays. 

Someone get this person to a Waffle House, ASAP.

Key to cooking hashbrowns well at home: nice hot skillet, small amount of oil, let it get pretty hot. Dump the hashbrowns in, season and stir once to coat them all, then let them sit. For a good 5-10 minutes. You can see and smell when they start to get crispy - *then* flip them over, season more, and let them finish…

As someone who spent most of the last decade making reservations for a Michelin-starred restaurant in Manhattan, let me assure you with a good deal of authority that you are absolutely wrong. Six-tops aren’t that frequent an occurrence, and neither they nor “high-rolling regulars” are going to be flying standby on New…

48 hours notice wasn’t their policy, you can’t invent a reason you should get a refund and expect the credit card company to agree. It was a pre-paid meal for that date, it wasn’t just a reservation. Telling the credit card company that it wasn’t fair isn’t likely to get a chargeback. They can try, sure. But people…

It was a table of 6. I can understand why a party that size likely already has plans two days before NYE.

Anyone done lark’s tongue?

Good God...why...

I don’t really think that would work. You gave them your credit card number so they could charge you if you didn’t show up and they charged you when you didn’t show up. Yes you tried to cancel but I think they can pretty easily argue that two-days notice wasn’t enough. Yes you had a good reason for wanting to cancel…

NewYorker-esque cartoon: [two tentacled aliens regarding Rover McRoverface] “We’re safe. It’s only seeking signs of ‘past microbial life’”

I can only find news reports, not statute, but it appears to be, at the lowest step of penalties, a zero-tolerance law (driving with any measurable BAC forbidden). Not certain what the measurement technique or the standard for hauling someone over might be.  There are other reports that it has improved the problem, as…

Can’t wait for the Prime Minister of Australia to say he prayed for rain and his prayers were answered. /s
