Same thing if the food tastes too greasy or fatty. Lemon juice isn’t a bad go-to for whenever you go “this dish is missing something, but what?”

Prilosec presumably
- Comment on What is your pet peeve in 2024? 1 month ago:
Put nails in at an angle, and alternate the angle so a row of nails looks like a row of Vs. Whenever reasonable I’d still go for screws though.

There’s no chance this doesn’t turn out to be, among other things, an autism detector.
- Comment on Anon recommends a cast iron pan 2 months ago:
Heat cooking oil in the pan until it starts smoking. Hey presto it’s seasoned. Tomato will not strip it, nor will soap. Intense scrubbing will.
Cast iron is so easy to care for. Just don’t stick it in the dishwasher or let it stay wet after washing.
- Comment on How can you make sure the ashes you get after a loved one dies is actually theirs? 2 months ago:
If you get an urn with a non-screw-lid they’ll also put the ashes in a bag in the urn. Sensible precaution honestly.
- Comment on Anon boots up a game 3 months ago:
For sure not true for a lot of games. Surely all the videos before the main menu isn’t it loading the main menu? How much processing power could a menu possibly take.
- Comment on Anon plays Metro 2033 3 months ago:
In Stray you can put a paper bag on your head. It inverts your controls for a bit. I liked that.
- Comment on If you feel like you're always being watched, can you really claim to have integrity? 3 months ago:
I feel like OP is referring to religious folks believing God is always watching.
Dunno if that really invalidates your comment though.

My dad owned part of one of the first wind turbines in the country, does that count?
- Comment on What makes it “Legitimate Interest“? 5 months ago:
Sliiightly more debatable, but you’re not supposed to emphasize one over the other iirc. Go read the GDPR, for legalese it’s surprisingly readable.
- Comment on What makes it “Legitimate Interest“? 5 months ago:
Nothing. Having a toggle for “legitimate interest” is nonsense. The GDPR lists some exceptions to when you need to ask for permission, these are “legitimate interests”. Things like remembering someones IP to keep track of bans is allowable without needing to ask for permission.
Of course advertising agencies promptly went to work trying to bend the language of GDPR so they can claim they are a legitimate interest and therefore exempt. It won’t hold up in court.
The GDPR is surprisingly strict, and a LOT of the cookie popups you see in the wild are not at all compliant. To give an example: having your “accept” and “reject” buttons a different font size is explicitly not allowed.

Didn’t he also get kicked out of game grumps because he’s antisemitic? Got replaced by a jew too lol.

No fuck you I AM starting a cooking blog on your comment. You can save the leftovers from broccoli and cauliflower, stems and leaves, and make a lovely pesto. Simply cook with a bunch of garlic in a small amount of salted water. Add plenty of oil, and blend to a paste using an immersion blender. Tastes great on fusilli!
- Comment on muscular chef 5 months ago:
What in my comment suggested I thought either of those things? There’s more people here than just you.
- Comment on muscular chef 5 months ago:
Protip: boil your broccoli in salted water. As long as you don’t boil it to snot it’ll be just as nutritious but taste a fair bit better. Poke it with a fork regularly to check done-ness. Should take around 6 minutes or so.
- Comment on Why do cameras call it "Macro Lens" if it zooms in and is used to capture tiny objects? Shouldn't it be "Micro Lens"? 7 months ago:
A macro lens produces a large image. It’s a bit silly but I guess once these things get a name it’s hard to get it changed.
