Frico, even

This is really at the core of what I was trying to say. If i asked for a drink with gi ger beer in it and received one with ginger ale in the place of the ginger bee, I’d consider that incorrect, regardless of either beverage’s history

To be clear, the drinks labeled ginger beer in every store i’ve been to is VERY different from the one labeled ginger ale

Not a fruit i know, but if you like pineapple on pizza you might also like pickled onions on pizza

When I said “emulsified with garlic” I was trying to convey the idea that the garlic is the emulsifier. “Oil emulsified by egg with garlic added for flavor” is not an aioli by its rigid definition, but it does fit the american colloqual use

Aioli is “garlic and oil” by translation. By definition aioli is a spread made from oil emulsified with garlic, which mixing garlic into mayonnaise does not achieve. That said, the colloquial use of aioli to refer to just about any thick smooth spread is well on its way to changing that. Pedants like me can fight it all we want, but languages evolve. It’s just what they do.

Great movie all around but that scene really stuck with me. The world may come to a fiery end, but they’ll be damned if they let that stop them from being good to each other.

Soak a kitchen towel, wring it out, and line the bottom of the crisper with it. Feel it every once in a while to make sure it’s still damp. That’ll let your crisper be what it was designed to be: a little high-humidity box in an otherwise arid refrigerator.

Also, take note of how produce is stored at the grocery store. If the store doesn’t refrigerate something (apples, tomatoes, avocados to name a couple), odds are you shouldn’t either. The fruits and veggies that belong in the crisper are the ones that are periodically misted with water in the case at the store. Also probably don’t keep anything tightly wrapped in plastic.

It takes every path available, and with high enough voltage, more paths become available

Don’t remember where I heard it first, but I always love to hear it.

I think two things make up the core of the student loan problem.

1. Kids in high school are surrounded by rhetoric from every adult they might trust near-constantly insinuating that if you don’t go to college you’ll never make anything of yourself (this has been better recently, with more and more high school graduates being made abundantly aware of non-college options available to them)

2. Student loans are designed to spiral into lifelong debt. This one is a bit more anecdotal for me but a good few of my high school friends have paid back well beyond the initial sum of their student loans, yet their remaining balance is greater than they started.

Now I’m not saying this is what you’re doing, but those who frame the issue as purely one of personal responsibility (i.e. “you took out a loan pay it back”) are at best being unhelpfully reductive and at worst gaslighting.

Set aside, just for a moment, the abstract moral aspect of this position, and consider the purely utilitarian side. If such a huge portion of an entire generation’s earnings are being funneled up to banks that talked them into a maybe-not-so-necessary college education when they were 17, they’re not exactly enabled to spend money in local commerce. Money spent in local commerce is pretty good if you want an economy to thrive, and if you ask me, student debt forgiveness would substantially contribute to that. If you disagree then you disagree, but framing that disagreement as a moral superiority is immature.
