You must not pay much attention to what is placed on your burger then. Burger King or McDonald’s is all the same stack of crap on a bun. They both smother the patty with all the stuff I listed to hide the low quality. No matter if it’s a beef whopper or the impossible whopper. If you don’t believe me, buy one of each and take them apart to compare.

The buns, the catsup, mustard, “special sauce”, the onions, the pickles, the cheese, lettuce, and don’t forget the sesame seeds! You could put a piece of cardboard in that McDonald’s hamburger and not be able to tell the difference…

If you need to hide the taste with all that crap, can it really taste good?
- Comment on Why Should I... 1 day ago:
That’s a straight up case of dumping enough crap on top of each patty that you can’t tell what the hell you are eating anyway.
Try cooking each patty with nothing more than a bit of salt and eat them plain with nothing else, not even a bun, and then tell me you can’t taste the difference.

Not with that attitude they won’t be.

Try a nice German mustard or a Dijon. Or mix a bit of good horseradish in with it. There is a lot more to mustard than plain yellow mustard, (which is great on hotdogs with relish).

No ketchup. Only mustard! Get a hold of your ovaries and man up!
- Comment on 5 days ago:
Hey, ketchup/catsup, (choose your spelling - we don’t discriminate), has it’s place. It’s fine for the sick, old and infirm or small children with weaker constitutions. But anyone purporting to be an adult, a form of mustard is the only choice.
And yes, there are other sauces to be used as called for in the moment.

I like the little bit smaller size and weight over my Amphibia for daily wear too. Toss in a NATO strap and it’s a good looking piece.

Oh my. My one daughter just published 2 research papers on household thermostats. And according to her long term testing, Nest is one to definitely avoid.

That’s mostly a quality and skill issue. People cheap out and buy low quality gages. My 40 year old stick gage is as accurate as is needed and very repeatable in my hands. And it measures up to 150psi.
And remember, this stuff isn’t that accurate anyway. It just good enough and that’s it.

As a person old enough to have driven manuals from 3 on the tree to 4 and 5 speeds, to 4x2, 5x2, 5x3 and 5x4 double sticks, 10 speeds and 13 speeds. Rowing your own gears is highly over rated. And even worse in stop and go driving.

No 20 year old belt. But I do have a set of 20 year old suspenders or galluses if you prefer. I wear suspenders because I have a very large surgical scar from a ruptured appendix years ago. Belt are very irritating to wear.

Many cars these days have built in tire pressure monitors and will light your dash with a warning light when it is low. Both my vehicles do that. I still carry a tire gauge in my glove box though.

Perhaps if drunks were less likely to assault uber drivers, it probably wouldn’t need to be a thing.

If you want to really be shocked by Hollywood butchery, watch the Thin Man movies - They are raucous 1930s fun and totally worth it. I’m surprised they haven’t been remade. Then read the book. Hollywood literally just pried the title off for their own use and then burned the character to ashes and launched it in to the sun never to be seen again.

James Bond is cooler than all of them for sheer fun. But Peter Gunn books is the detective I grew up on. He even came with the coolest of theme song of all time, thanks to Mancini.

His attitude about teaching me the language was strange. He refused to teach even my mother. He was all “Your 'Murican, so you speak 'Murican.” And not Norwegian.
It wasn’t until I was in my early 20’s that I discovered that the Norge my grandfather spoke was essentially a dead language from the early 1800s. Soon after my family showed up here, the Norwegian language changed. It changed a couple of times. Not that he knew that.
But on the German side, my Great Grandmother was all about teaching me German as a little kid. She always kept a bowl of the cheap cheap pressed pastel sugar mints that little old ladies are fond of. It was a decorative milk glass hen and nest covered bowl. I could have a candy anytime I wanted as long as I asked in German. And it had better be in Low German! Or I got a light whack with a little bamboo cane every time I mispronounced a word. I learned quickly!

Not simpler, just a lot more concerned about family dirty laundry. There were a general attitude about the “old country” that they didn’t talk about. It was strong enough that my one Grandfather refused to teach me to speak Norwegian even though he and all the older community spoke it everyday. And you would go to church on Christmas or Easter day and the service was done all in Norwegian and you sang Norwegian hymns.
My family immigrants went farther west. The western prairies and northern forests of Minnesota, the Dakotas, and Canada. We bounced around a lot before the 1900s.

Those at least are easier to ID and a bit more difficult to screw up. Still, I’ve had to dig out may share of those too. All fasteners can be messed up if you try. And there are so many people more than willing to go to the effort.

My ancestors were criminals. One was a horse thief in Norway and the other was a counterfeiter in Germany in the early 1800s. Both skipping their homelands around the 1850s, just ahead of the law. At least that’s what the family histories say that we can actually trace with reasonable accuracy.
I suppose we brought the lutefisk and lefsa from the Norwegian side and beer and sausages on the German side.
