Wait til you see bats getting eaten by centipedes!

Pizza, bagels, knishes, Jewish delis, and whitefish salad.

Sliced bok choy, julienned ham, julienned carrots, baby spinach, slices of pancetta… If you’re willing to pre-funk some ingredients up to a few days in advance, you can have more tasty additions such as marinated hardboiled eggs, lap cheong (shelf-stable until you open the package), chashu, crispy pork belly, Chinese or Japanese brisket curry.

I’ve never met the guy, but have friends who did. Fatboy Slim seems like the Fred Rogers of EDM. And this makes me very happy.

Indeed.

HJF. That guest list… That wasn’t a black tie dinner. That was an assembly of overlords meeting with the kings of their respective kingdoms. Those are the people one would assemble if feudalism is the goal.

You know you have a cool pic when it still looks great with your finger in the corner. :D

Serious question: what are y’all’s methods to prevent/deal with spicy pillows?

Who else saw “Shropshire” and immediately thought of this guy?

The jokes on them! I buy one for every friend who somehow doesn’t already have one. I also manage to kill one about every two years. My lifestyle is very challenging to technology.

You put it way more succinctly than I!

I also make a much higher salary than my SWE friends in the EU. But:

• I’ve been at this for 25 years
• grinding - my work-life balance is garbage compared to my European friends in SWE
• regularly dealing with a fuckton of uncertainty
• had my retirement completely gutted by my partner’s cancer treatment
• got my stock portfolio screwed up because of my significant ESPP; my theretofore trustworthy, reliable employer decided to sell to a private equity firm
• get to travel very little and have to work when I do because of paltry PTO policies; and I get “generous” PTO compared to most of my US SWE peers; my PTO is decadent compared to most US proletariat

I could really go on. That great, yuuuuge, beautiful salary difference is deeply undercut to the point of collapse by everything all of the other costs (not just financial) that are co-requisite to working in the US.

The toxicity is in the dose. If you’re actually allergic to your cat, it could be a seasonal change in his grooming regimen resulting in more saliva on his fur, which means more allergen proteins in the dander.

Another possibility: seasonal change has resulted in something blooming to which you’re mildly allergic. The combination of things might have tipped you over the edge of allergic response.

There are a ton of factors that could be in play, and only an allergist can tell you for sure what’s going on.

It’s like you know me.

I feel seen and understood. And I’m not white.

Although, I’m currently in the Tennessee/North Carolina cold snap panic. People are all bundled up, and I am genuinely comfortable in my shorts and sandals. About 5 less degrees or 10 MPH more wind, and I’d put on shoes.

They are trying to cause riots

This is my exact read on the matter. We can’t be the only ones to see it this way. What surprises me is that more analysts and pundits aren’t talking about the economic violence from this angle. And when the masses finally reach their threshold, the Conservatives will do their “Whaaaat? So much for the tolerant Left.”

Vevor 10 inch 240W. I’ve absolutely rail this thing, lent it out to my hunting Jedi buddy who also put the screws to it, lather, rinse, repeat for two years now. I used to have a meat-smoking and charcuterie business, so I have opinions about deli slicers. This unit (https://www.vevor.com/cutters-slicers-c_10662/vevor-commercial-meat-slicer-240w-electric-deli-food-slicer-10-inch-carbon-steel-blade-electric-food-slicer-350-400rpm-meat-slicer-0-0-47-inch-adjustable-thickness-for-commercial-and-home-use-p_010664867799) is categorically okay.

Cleaning it is okay, not tool-free; I taped the necessary Allen wrench to the bottom. Performance is absolutely acceptable. Maintaining it is pretty simple (sharpener is included). Motor is decent. Cheese slicing performance is decent. It tends to throw a lot of shreds, but I bet polishing the backside of the blade would fix that. Portability is the suck, but some long Velcro strips improve that. It’s no $3000 Hobart, but also costs one order of magnitude less.

And now you can completely avoid Arby’s and still get your Horsey Sauce fix: https://copykat.com/arbys-horsey-sauce/

I make a homemade version of the Arby’s Beef and Cheddar. Even bought a deli slicer just to get that piled-up effect. The Horsey Sauce recipe above nails it. The Arby Sauce however… I’ve yet to find a proper copycat recipe. I think there might be citrus (lime?) in Arby Sauce but it’s not listed in the ingredients.

Scott Murphy is so full of shit, his eyes are brown. This is exactly the bullshit I expect from a rent-seeking asshole CEO. He is literally marketing FUD in order to put subscription money in his pocket. This is one of the cases where you can determine the actual truth by assuming the opposite of what is being said. He beats on this trope of almost all bike shops being elitist when the exact opposite is true.

Notice how much he repeats that. This is called The Big Lie: repeat an extreme distortion of the truth enough times and people will internalize that distortion as true. There’s something that happens in our brains that causes this to work better with larger distortions rather than small lies.
