I’m just about to get back from a 2-week PTO. I’ll try this on some of my coworkers.

I haven’t been unlucky enough with cancellations, but there are a few that are in purgatory, not officially cancelled but no news on getting anything else in the near future. Mindhunter, Extracurricular, and Kingdom to name a few.

I was very confused when I saw the thumbnail of this then read the synopsis. Then I saw the abysmal rating.

Ok I’ll give this a pass if it costs $8. lol

I find it mildly infuriating when they use huge bowls and the broth only goes halfway or less. The broth is what makes ramen great, and I want enough of it to submerge the noodles and toppings.

classic botox lizard skin look (which generally means don’t cheap out & vet your clinic)

I saw “lizard skin” and initially read that as “don’t cheap out on your vet clinic”.

It did, but we already had an AVR long before the time small UPS units for home use became affordable enough, so we just added it in there in a series.

Citizenship so I get a more powerful passport.

My toe was for the AVR and UPS. People who grew up in countries with unstable/unreliable electricity can relate. The family desktop computer was basically: power socket > AVR > UPS > computer, with the first two on the floor (therefore using feet to turn them on), and the system unit on the desk right beside the CRT monitor.

That’s a California regulation that puts that label on anything that may have a chance of causing cancer. The intention is good, but it’s largely being ignored because it’s almost on everything and it defeats the purpose. Not saying this one in particular should be ignored, just providing context on what that label is.

The worst is when clicking the “give feedback” button opens up your email client to compose a message.

I’ve experienced a group of people literally just talking and having a conversation for the entire movie. Like they spent money to talk when they could do it for free outside. But that’s common and a boring answer.

My other more interesting answer is my one and only experience at an Alamo Drafthouse theater. I didn’t enjoy it not because there were unruly people, but it was the servers themselves who were distracting. For those unaware, Alamo prides itself for being strict with talkers and phone users, and you can call the attention of an usher to kick out someone not following the rules. In my actual experience, the audience was behaved. But the servers were noisily moving around the theater to the point it was distracting. Every couple of minutes I’d see a silhouette of a head moving across the screen, sometimes stopping in the middle to take someone’s order. I’d hear shuffling behind me and sometimes bumping my seat. Then the server working my section literally stood in front of me blocking my view just to ask if I had any last food orders. This was when places were just starting to open up after the pandemic, so I’m guessing these were a bunch of undertrained new hires, or people who weren’t paid enough to give a fuck. Either way, I’ve never been to an Alamo ever since.

My first car was named Sora Aoi which means sky blue. Don’t mind that it’s also the name of a popular Japanese porn star.

I also had a white Kia Soul that looked like a stormtrooper helmet so I was trying to pick a good reference name, but couldn’t decide on one.

My subaru is called “Subarashii”, because it’s excellent.

We call our Subaru “Subarashii”.

Take the comment you replied to with a grain of salt. IOS and Android are not rolling release unless you use their beta versions, so the analogy is not correct. Ubuntu and its derivatives have slower release cycles in order to ensure they’re stable. But it doesn’t mean packages are “stale”. A rolling release distro will give you bleeding edge updates at the risk of something breaking once in a while. If you work on stuff like music production, you absolutely will be better off with a more stable distro.

I let the wind take care of it. My driveway and sidewalk are usually clear of clippings within 3-4 days after mowing.

Yup I understand that. The reason I prefer a wok is that it’s versatile because it has higher walls than a saucepan. I use it as my swiss army knife pan where I cook everything there except soups. Having a wider flat bottom while at the same time higher walls that still bring the food to the center is the best of both worlds to me.

Sorry, what do you mean extra work? I season my regular carbon steel pan after I wash it. I avoid using soap to wash unless it’s really full of grime. I also bought it unseasoned so I had to go through the entire seasoning process before using it. I haven’t bought the nitrated carbon steel pan in the picture yet.

Yes, I meant the comment I saw said it’s a little harder to season than a regular carbon steel pan because the seasoning doesn’t stick well.

No money and too expensive. Your option for water is sold in a can that costs $5. Alcoholic drinks are almost double the price now. And at least for my city, the bar districts are now just full of assholes who post-pandemic seemed to forget how to act in public especially when alcohol is involved.
