Really seems like it’s all become so carefully curated and commoditized that the personality and rough edges and accidents that made any of it noteworthy have been hewn away. American culture is populated by what might as well be walking, talking avatars designed solely to billboard for Disney and Nestle and a few big corporate interests. But, wtf do I know. Maybe I’m just too old for this shit.

The M clearly stands for Mahoney.

Bold move assuming we all want to exist.

If any of those “freely provided resources” can identify you, they’re gonna tell hr about it, who will then find a way to fire you before your problems become their problems. That’s the “early intervention” corporations are paying those services to provide.

Pan of water brought to boiling on the stove. Add grounds 30 seconds after removing from heat. Wait several minutes. Strain through fine mesh seive directly into cup.

No machine or dedicated apparatus required.

Can’t even tell they’re in there by the time they’re done. Plus, the skin has more protein and nutrients than the rest of the potato. All the stuff that’s good for you is in the skin. Whole point of this recipe is you can eat them without knowing they’re even there.

Boil in chunks with the skin still on. Drain and mash immediately while still way too hot with a hand masher, butter and raw egg. Stir in grated cheese and bake for 20 minutes at like 325-350.

Average forefinger and thumb grasps about 1-1.5 servings of spaghetti. Pasta in general, any shape, 1 pound serves 4-6.

Watergate is just the name of a hotel/shop/office complex in DC. The Watergate scandal had nothing to do with water, it’s just named after the place where it occurred. The -gate suffix for scandals is dumb.

Also, baby smells get you high and promote warlike behavior and ethnocentrism. Don’t forget those.

Lucky bastards.

Plate of olives and a liter of beer used to be my go-to after work wind down snack.

Civil war didn’t happen when Gore “lost” on some technical bullshit, it’s not going to happen anytime soon.

Had one at home and used the hell out of it, don’t get me wrong. Was my first computer. Played the Zork series on that thing. But, it had issues and wasn’t a financial success.

It was a huge failure, but they tried.

Looking Glass Studios.

Basically the coast of the fishing hamlet in Bloodborne.

Not quite. With radius 2 and 3 circles, the outer circle would take 2.5 rotations to complete the revolution. You have to set the first circle radius to 1 (divide both radii by the lesser) and then add the radii to calculate the relative circumference of the circle drawn by the motion of the center of the outer circle, so the answer would be calculated like:

2/2 + 3/2 = 5/2 = 2.5

I’d generally heard ‘laundry stripping’ used to refer to a vinegar soak/rinse, followed by a baking soda cycle to further neutralize. The idea being laundry soap/detergent is basic and some things build up and don’t dissolve. Added borax was an alternative ‘laundry booster’ that made this unnecessary, as I’d heard it.

But, it sounds like there’s some variability to how the terms are used and for some a borax rinse is a stripping process. Understandable, as the end result is pretty much the same.
