Why did the Thinkpad 701 become a cult legend in computer history?
It was the expanding butterfly keyboard that gave you an 11.5" wide keyboard from a 10" wide laptop. Super cool for its day, but not really a problem that needs solving anymore. Nobody seems to be clamoring for the nipple mouse anymore either.
Pineapple pizza really is kinda meh by itself. But, pineapple + jalapeno + a salty/savory topping like pepperoni can be amazing.
Semi-tangential non-sequitor: The news algorithms offered up the recipe for an "Italian treat" recently that had me appalled and curious in the same way I expect pineapple pizza haters are. It was very ripe cantaloupe slices wrapped in prosciutto. I don't even really know what to say. I just don't want to be alone in knowing about that monstrosity.
YOU usually couldn't tell. I guarantee that everyone else can tell.
Excerise doesn't make you instantly stink, you'll just smell like sweat. The stink happens over time as bacteria eat that sweat, regardless of how much you sweat. Since you're not regularly washing away those bacteria and their byproducts, you will stink.
First of all, yes, those look like shit. Brown gravy? Square flat bricks that I assume are meant to be biscuits? Just awful.
But, an over easy or sunny side up egg is always a welcome addition to biscuits and gravy. That's the only thing they got right.
I really don't get how people screw up the gravy so badly. It's just sausage crumbles in a pan, coated with flour once the fat has rendered (melted) a bit, then adding milk or cream and pepper to your desired consistency and taste respectively. Simmer and add spices until it looks good. Maybe add some minced sage if the sausage doesn't have it already. If you're not starting your gravy recipe for biscuits and gravy with sausage, you're doing it wrong and should be ashamed. It doesn't come from a box. It's not white as a sheet and devoid of spice or flavor. It's not vegetarian. It's not gluten free. It's also not brown gravy, which is made entirely differently using fond to give it the brown color.
The biscuits are no better. Even Bisquick biscuits from a box would turn out better for most people than these depressing bricks.
What's wrong with tuna salad? Potato salad? Macaroni salad? Coleslaw (a kind of cabbage salad)? Mayo isn't really all that different than many other salad dressings either. Also, pretty much any decent deli sandwich is basically a salad with meat and cheese dressed in mayo between two slices of bread.
You're missing out.
Bicycles (and electric scooters) are vehicles that should also be following the same rules as car, i.e. not driving the wrong way down a one way street and not bombing down the sidewalk. I mean, I still look both ways, but that's because people are dumb maniacs on the road, not because bicycles.
Can you still buy a star? Obviously dubious that you actually own it. But certainly bigger than anything on earth and a bit tricky to deliver.
He was TOO good at the satire. On the left dum-dums thought he was actually right, while on the right dum-dums thought he was on their side.
Also, I think people are hitting their limit of joking about the collapse of democracy and civil society. I know I am. I know there are now movies, TV, and books that I might have found interesting in less interesting times; now it all just hits too close to home. John Oliver can hit those "too close to home" topics and move on to other things. But it always felt like when Colbert was doing his conservative pundit schtick, he was trapped in it. It was harder to laugh along with him about other things that weren't specifically about that kind of satire. He might have had some more material of a particular idiom if he'd stuck with it, but that idiom can wear thin.
Those are fighting words. New Dredd has no riz.
Aggressive is modifying "virtue signaling". I guess I could have been more clear by adding an "ly" to make it clear that aggressive was an adverb.
But, honestly in my experience there is ALWAYS someone finding some new way to understand your comment so that they have something to argue with. I was both making a joke AND making a point. Complicated, I know.
And it is something to criticize: OP asked about "X", commenter replied about NOT "X".
Karl Urban fucking nailed it in the first one
No, that was the reboot. You kids already forget about Stallone?
All of those kinds of communities, where people tell anecdotes about their lives, turned into creative writing excerises for wannabe authors long before we had to worry about AI slop. TIFU, AmITheAsshole, RelationshipAdvice, etc. were all getting pretty derivative and sensational for clicks long before the exodus. Now they're all either that or illiterate attention seekers showing off the results of their latest LLM prompts. I liked those stories too, but I don't want anything to do with any of those communities anymore. It all just turned into a training ground for LLMs generating engagement. YouTube still tries to force those dumb AI story voiceover videos to me constantly. We used to joke that "nothing ever happens", but everyday that sentiment feels a little less cynical and a little more real.
