IIRC in Norway they have “Taco Friday”

I wouldn’t suppose that people are required to inform steam that they’re dead. Therefore, I’d assume the easiest way to bequeath games/DLCs, etc, is to get a wishlist from your loved ones, and then gift all of those games prior to death on a credit card that you might not be able to pay, due to being dead. Steam gets the money, the CC company gets shafted. Alternately, share your credit card details with a loved one and that list, and have them order within hours of your death (this depends on whether or not you were plausibly alive when those CC transactions took place)

Here’s an explanation

Isn’t this the mineral that people are proposing that we process into sand and dump into the ocean to sequester carbon?

It looks like a video game that skimped on the world development budget.

I think lots of that stuff (like the ramps) were added in the Director’s cut of the game.

IDK, even pump shotguns would be subject to issues with vaccuum environments , but I guess differences in atmospheric pressure in alien environments might be an issue if it changes how fast the gas disperses.

It’s real, lol

So about 30% of players who get the option to fuck the mindflayer take it? 3/10 people play until they get the option, and 1 of those 3 takes it.

is this fake? that @ doesn’t seem like a real news outlet.

EDIT - It’s real, the statement is on the White House website. It’s directly at the end.

Fair enough - in hindsight we really can’t expect some kid fresh out of college to know why office jobs are bullshit/productivity theatre

I think there’s a take that she should’ve been more proactive in looking like she’s doing something and then kept up the whole “doing nothing while getting paid” angle. Not contributing to the bottom line of a company while appearing to do so is good.

the weird furniture thing looks to be an oversized (overscaled?) film camera without an apeture. I can imagine they used the keyword “instagram” or “Film Grain” in their prompt.

I feel like the implications for bioengineering bacteria is pretty interesting - if we inoculate people/animals with benign, antibiotic-vulnerable strains of bacteria that are staged in such a way to become dominant in the wider species of a given bacteria, can’t we eliminate antibiotic resistance on a wide scale?

Yeah IIRC he was on the flight logs

The spanish-language channel somehow managed to air the uncensored episodes, people are smoking and all that in it. Was pretty shocking as a kid.

oh yeah, I haven’t worked at a place that uses olive oil in a deep fryer either- I just worked at a couple of places with deep fryers and they were a pain in the ass, and most of the time, the stuff that came out of it was fair-to-middling. I know an Italian place that does small fried and baked foods (stromboli, arancini, croquettes etc) that I’m sure does all their frying in OO of some kind and it absolutely fucking slaps; but I’m pretty sure all their stuff is extremely small-batch too considering they usually sell out their food by like 12:30 every day.

exactly this - olive oil of any grade is just too expensive to support general deep-frying in full stop, and if the big difference is smoke products making their way into your kitchen, just use veg oil for (most, unless the recipe specifies an oil) deep frying. Even if your fans/filters are good, you’re still dumping a bunch of smoke and polymerized oils into the space between your interior and exterior wall. Congrats, you’ve impregnated your previously fire-resistant gypsum board with flammable oil byproducts and tars for taste, when the end product is 80%+ as good with cheaper, cleaner oil.

Unless it’s especially good fried in olive oil, cook it in the cheap, use refined frying media because everyone wants the tastes/textures of fried food (crispy, fatty, etc), but the upfront costs for deep-frying are always going to be steep against other preparation methods and gain profitability at volume (i.e. french fries, chip shops). You and your turkey-frying, house-fire-starting setup do not a bespoke chippy make, so don’t aspire to be one.

I have operated and maintained commercial deep fryers and my experience is that they fucking suck. They require daily maintenance and the maintenance fucking sucks. The products of commerical fryers fucking suck. Yes. All of them absolutely suck. Even your favorite hole-in-the-wall has a garbage deep fryer that’s held together with love, duct tape and Sysco’s boxed bottle of oil de jour. Deep frying is an absolutely mid cooking technique. Fix Your Hearts Unto Mediocrity or Die.

Deep Frying creates a mid product most of the time, so don’t aspire to excellence. Just aspire to a crispy crust and good browning. Everything else is gravy.

Love to get in the Meaet boat
