Love the silverware up top, good piece of gear.
- Comment on Waiting and getting treated is better than waiting and going bankrupt 4 days ago:
I think wait times were better. And now they’re terrible, but what you say plays a big role. And as such, we’ve seen urgent care businesses (hate saying that) explode. There’s one every mile where I live, including pediatric urgent care. And I’m not complaining. I’ll complain maybe about costs, but the idea of this stepped-down, non-emergent care, is a great way to deal with the problem.
Now, make it free* (except I pay taxes already so just use those).

My wife takes our kids frequently as well. I’m good for one trip a year, but in much more focused in my shopping than they are.

And you probably do a good job, just like Ford (although I’ve never seen a single star wars movie and it’s going to stay that way).

Ha, very similar story for me, I don’t speak a lick of Italian. My grandmother wasn’t exactly into the affairs of her brothers and uncles and so I think she chose to insulate the grandkids. Fortunately she didn’t insulate us from fantastic cooking.
We mainly stayed in the NY/NJ/PA area, just like everybody else around here.

Hey, mine were criminals too, and they brought some of that classic Italian criminality to Scranton, Pittston, and Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, enough to have a lengthy Wikipedia article about it. Funny, because it’s not something you recognize at the family parties as a kid.
Simpler times.

Yeah, my ancestors are from Ireland and Italy. The Irish half escaped the famine and came here and procreated like it was going out of style. My family from Italy came over to escape the fascism (jokes on them). They brought with them the gabagool.

- Comment on They call me the problem solver 1 week ago:
I’ve sat and waited on inconsiderate people like you. And the worst part is it’s always the person whose time is seemingly the least valuable.
Being fashionably late to a party isn’t what we’re talking about here either. But go on, be selfish.
- Comment on Well that's my vacation ruined 1 week ago:
Yeah, I do my laptop just because I always have it, since I’m always doing work in whatever downtime there is, people showering, whatever. Remote is nice. I have been lazy enough to remote desktop from my phone to the laptop to change things so I didn’t have to get up. It is incredibly inefficient.

And nowadays they let you cast to them (sometimes). But even ones that were locked I’ve gone and just asked for the unlocked remote and maintenance has always provided. The hotel brand cares; the workers do not give a fuck.

Accept that you don’t care about others’ time, got it.
- Comment on Team Car! 1 week ago:
Exactly. I drive and watch people hover on the sidewalk, clearly intending to enter the crosswalk, but not making that move. I stop whenever I even so much as think someone might cross. I stop and sometimes they turn instead of crossing. Whatever, doesn’t matter, it’s two seconds. But it seems like everyone else on the road can’t be bothered.
And so it’s because of that that I just walk into the road. And I should say into the road, but not into the travel lane, per se, because I don’t actually want to get hit, I got kids, and it would be a stupid funeral if “Dad died doing what he loved, being an idiot.”
- Comment on Team Car! 1 week ago:
I’m glad little shitheads on motorized bikes is a problem all the world over. I get them riding through the playground where my kids play.
NJ just required the ebikes be registered and insured and put age requirements on them, and so I have noticed lately a drop in shitheads, but there are still some out there.
- Comment on Team Car! 1 week ago:
I do that. If I get to a crosswalk, I don’t stand and wait for cars to stop, I step into the road and make them stop, because thems the rules. I don’t do it while I’m staring at my phone though, because that’s dumb.

I love Wes, but I don’t think any music he made outside of LB was good. Blacklight Burns, maybe. Big Dumb Face was an art pieces for sure.

I dunno, I prefer slicing.

Fortunately not serial killers, but the HBO documentary Telemarketers (good watch, highly recommend) was shot in NJ, and I saw many locations very close to my home. Always neat to see.

- Comment on Those moutains are so quaint 2 weeks ago:
Dude, come north. Jersey has it all. I get cheesesteaks. I get California cheesesteaks. We benefit from proximity to New York and Philadelphia without living in either one. And great beaches.
But when I read your first post that east coast food culture sucks, it only made sense when I realized where you lived, or where you didn’t live is probably more accurate. Diversity makes for great eats and Jersey is diverse af. And diverse diverse, people from everywhere just end up here being like “This isn’t new York. Ehh, fuck it, good enough.”
- Comment on Those moutains are so quaint 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, there seems to be this idea that just because you have peaks at 14k that your mountain is 14k feet tall.
That being said, I took a very hungover drive up and through the Eisenhower Tunnel, and I could see it being a bit daunting in a truck for sure.
- Comment on success 2 weeks ago:
I generally agree, but my dishwasher will finish, I open it, and some shit is still wet. Water in concavities, the conglomeration of plastic kids shit. It just is what it is, and so sometimes dishes chill in the sink as though it’s the on deck circle, waiting for their turn at bat.
I do organize the sink when this becomes an issue. Silverware into a glass filled with water (gotta weigh it down), bowls stacked on plates, that sort of thing. When dishwasher finally emptied out, we move sink in. Rinse and repeat.
I’m just forever the optimist and so I don’t like to say never (jk I’m incredibly pessimistic).
- Comment on Wow. okay. Didn't need to go that hard. 2 weeks ago:
Morale guys are huge. I remember watching the Mets a season or two ago, they had Jesse Winker, okay but replaceable on the field, but absolutely a morale boost.
Back when I was in the Marines, we had guys who were just funny. Mediocre Marines, didn’t really pull their weight, but they got away with it because they could lighten the mood when we were all about ready to snap. To me, that’s important. That being said, they were also competent enough to not get themselves or others killed, which is probably the only thing more important than being funny. If you are incompetent you get to stay home.

I don’t doubt you, I just don’t bake. Don’t wanna. And I’m fortunate enough that my wife, mother, and mother-in-law all have some baking specials, so don’t need to.
I’ve definitely heard the whole baking is a science thing, but I tend to treat cooking like that (aka I follow the recipe). So maybe I could bake. But I won’t!

Is his name Carm in the show because he’s caramelizing from first episode to last, and finally becomes the onion we all love?
I am halfway through s4 and it’s boring so I stopped watching.

Yeah, it shocks most people when they hear it. But if you think further on it, mayo is essentially oil, egg, and an acid, but mainly oil and egg. Cake mix calls for oil and egg, and so you just substitute a dollop of mayonnaise, and it does a better job of oil and egg.
As far as how much, I have no idea. I’m not a baker. I can cook, but I do not bake.
And for anyone wondering, you do not taste mayo in the cake, that would be terrible.

You’re just following the prompt right? Posting an unpopular opinion? Because you’ve nailed it.
