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.

College became a business at one point, probably somewhere around 2000 it really became evident, and that’s that. People who have no business getting into college not only get in, but they get degrees. And how do we do that? We water it down, make it accessible to everyone.
And I say this as a college dropout. We need to stop the idea that college is for everyone. That’s totally okay.

The secret is mayonnaise. Use mayonnaise. Been my mom’s secret weapon in chocolate cake for years and it comes out super moist.
- Comment on Delicious 1 day ago:
I run often, and unfortunately it’s a lot harder to stay thin as I’m pushing 40 than it was when I was pushing 20. And by stay thin I mean stay average.
Kurzgesagt had a good video on exercise that basically talked about how, if you exercise regularly, your body basically doesn’t burn the calories the same. If you’re a couch potato and then you start to exercise, you will get a benefit, but then there’s diminishing returns from continuing to exercise, to the point your body now says “hey, this is my new normal,” and essentially burns the same calories whether you’re on the couch or exercising. There’s a lot more nuance to it in the video.
It seems we’re all doomed to just get old.

Yeah, as a kid in high school, one of my go-to high snacks was an Entenmann’s All Butter French Crumb Cake (~1740 calories) and a half gallon of 2% milk (~950 calories). It wasn’t an everyday thing, but I’d house it no problem, and it wasn’t the only thing I’d eat that day. I also swam competitively, although as I’ve grown older I’ve learned that it’s essentially unrelated, and that your metabolism is just your metabolism, essentially regardless if your activity levels. I had trouble breaking 140 pounds at 5’8.
That all stopped. It’s pretty incredible how it all just stops. I’m still fairly active, but I wouldn’t consider eating more than a serving at this point, and I instead have trouble cracking 165 (except from above this time). Oh well, this is life.

I like the idea of one bar across the middle that you need to perfectly balance the car on in order to lift it. Makes it exciting.

Yeah, I think that’s definitely what happened. Probably wasn’t possible to keep the pattern right, you’d end up with something that looked even weirder, so they went with this.

They’re all delicious. It’s a problem how delicious they are.
That being said, the colors will be more muted soon enough. I’ve always had a soft spot for cereal, and certain cereals have already taken the plunge into muted color town.

They’ve generated drama with it. Mission accomplished as far as they’re concerned. It truly is nothing. Six hours? I’m at work, I’m at the beach, I’m on a hike, I’m doing whatever, I’ll watch it later. Boom, six hours. It’s a meaningless window of time, but there’s articles being written about it.

Yeah, I’m from New Jersey but took French in middle and high school, and eventually, at 19 say let’s do this thing, and I go to Montreal, and imagine my surprise when I have no idea what the fuck they’re saying. And I make friends with a couple on a cruise from Gatineau, and my god, it’s even harder to understand. I was failed by my education!
And when I go to Paris and speak French they’re like “Okay you can stop,” which to me means good enough! The New Jersey accent is quite unlike the French accent, it seems.

You better come with some jokes then. When I’m moving some bulky furniture upstairs and really not having a good time, sometimes a well-timed joke is exactly what we need to drop it and injure ourselves.
- Comment on How to move a sofa 1 week ago:
I have a friend who’s done very well with the AI boom, he works for some startup, has for the past six or seven years. He moved into an apartment like 10 years ago, he was working for a pharma company, just building their servers I’ll say, because I don’t know what the fuck he does. When he moved into the apartment, he hit me up, I rounded up another friend or two, we took care of it.
He bought (had built) a new home about six or seven months ago. He did not call me to help him move. He’s moved beyond that, because to him, he doesn’t want to be involved. You don’t call someone to help you move and then not take part. For him, it’s a no-brainer to just pay to have it done. And that’s fine, and I just kinda wanted to give an example of this divide.

My neighbor is the guy with the truck. He feels the same way you do, says he just can’t imagine not being available to help folks out. He’s helped me out. I help him out (not with a truck, of course). He has a truck because he is big, it’s comfortable, and because he can help people move shit or get mulch or whatever. He lives for it.
- Comment on How to move a sofa 1 week ago:
The crazy part is it doesn’t matter who you voted for, everyone on both sides would generally love to help their neighbor and would offer a hand. It’s just when people get involved in the macro sense that they get filled with hate and anger. Makes me sad. Let’s just all move couches.
- Comment on The perfect date 1 week ago:
Yeah, this is how I do it. Computers are more than capable of handling the three-letter abbreviation for months nowadays, versus some bygone era where perhaps we needed just numbers. This is how I date anything that I need to out a date on.

- Comment on modern classic 1 week ago:
So that wood wall is not wood, it’s like 1/8th" veneer. So of all the things, I’m okay with that going. Granted, don’t paint it, rip it out, apply new walls where necessary, and then paint those.
That being said, we moved in 1997 to a house with the wood paneling, and as we were ripping it down, there were a million large holes everywhere, so we put it back up and painted it. White.
- Comment on modern classic 1 week ago:
Yeah, painting the old wood and painting the brick is just too much. My home is pushing 100 and I have big old molding everywhere, but I’ve seen other houses in my neighborhood where folks have painted the big old molding - white obviously, because that’s apparently the only “color” - and to me it just begs to be burnt to the ground.
- Comment on modern classic 1 week ago:
People actually paint bricks, and it disturbs me. Bricks are so porous, and so unpainting them is an ordeal to say the least. I never understood painting brick. Brick looks nice. They made them look nice right from the brickyard.
- Comment on This Is Why I Sit Down To Pee Pee 1 week ago:
Yeah, everything is counting down. They start with left sock, right sock, go from there. You have 60+ guys, they’d finish head calls in “100 seconds,” and I put them in quote because it’s a guy screaming backwards from 100 as fast as he can. And so the point is, yes, removing psychological blocks to certain behaviors, getting you to move fast all the time, and obey orders immediately. It’s pretty effective.
- Comment on This Is Why I Sit Down To Pee Pee 1 week ago:
When I was in boot camp for the Marine corps the rule was three to a urinal. And when we went out to the rifle range for a week or whatever, the toilets were just in a room, six toilets, not a wall in sight, in just a room. I was fortunately not piss shy, but they definitely force it out of you if you are. Fortunately, by the time we were at the range, privacy had stopped being a concern.
This was 2009 when boot camp was still segregated men and women.

I’m not sure if you’re referring to the Newark one, which just closed, or if you’re somewhere else that also has one close. Strange thing, but that is time, I guess.
