For textbook perfect boiled eggs, place the eggs in a pot of cold water. Bring to a boil then cover the pot and remove it from the heat. Wait 10 minutes since the eggs under cool water and peel immediately.

How so? Is the price the only thing you think about when making a purchase?
- Comment on After shutting down several popular emulators, Nintendo admits emulation is legal 2 weeks ago:
Sure. Can you play Baldur’s Gate 3 on it?

I’ve tripled my library since getting a deck anf use it more often than my PC.

You can one for under $300 if you buy refurbished.

- Comment on Anon buys a TV without researching 3 weeks ago:
Apple TV still has a ton of privacy concerns and most people who are against having to use a keyboard probably aren’t going to be setting up a Plex server.
- Comment on Anon buys a TV without researching 3 weeks ago:
“I don’t want to use a keyboard,” was what my wife said at first too. Then she realized that saving hundred of dollars and never seeing another advertisement was worth it.

If I break into your house and steal your TV then knock on your door the next day to offer to sell it back to you, would you buy it?
- Comment on how do I show a coworker that I care about her after her mother died? 3 weeks ago:
I don’t know her and I’m not a psychologist but that sounds an awful like she’s projecting. I’d bet it wasn’t the food she was angry with.

- Comment on If you are a young person you have no idea how bad everyone and everything smelled until at least the 1990s. 4 weeks ago:
I wish I couldn’t stand the smell. It’s been a few years now but I still get regular cravings.
- Comment on If you are a young person you have no idea how bad everyone and everything smelled until at least the 1990s. 4 weeks ago:
I grew up in a house with smokers, picked it up as a teenager and smoked a pack a day for 20 years after that. Now I can smell someone lighting up 2 blocks away.
It’s kind of crazy. As time passed without smoking, I noticed many things smelled differently to me. For example, I was repulsed by the smell of cheddar cheese the first time I smelled it after quitting. I can’t put it into words properly but it smelled so different from what I was expecting that the thought of taking a bite made my stomach turn.
- Comment on Charities of Employees from "non-profit" I was going to donate too 1 month ago:
As a chef with 22 years of experience hiring cooks, there is absolutely a distinction. I would have said fast food worker instead of “cook” because the quotes make it feel condescending, but I also do not count experience in fast food as relevant experience when reviewing resumes for a line or prep cook position.
We’re also misusing the word chef a lot in this conversation. Everyone working the line in a kitchen is not a chef. They are cooks. The chefs are the kitchen leadership. There is typically one executive chef and one or two sous chefs below them. I’m simplifying things a bit but that’s the most common structure you’ll find in non-chain/corpo kitchens.
- Comment on Charities of Employees from "non-profit" I was going to donate too 1 month ago:
Correct.
- Comment on Charities of Employees from "non-profit" I was going to donate too 1 month ago:
They pay cooks less than $20/hour in a city with an average rent of $3000/month. I’ve got no problem passing judgement.

I live several thousand miles away from NYPD jurisdiction. What are they going to do, call me back to scold me?

I find that even more infuriating.
- Comment on In the US, is this actually the moment past the point of no return? 2 months ago:
I’m childless by choice because I don’t like children. I’m happy I don’t have kids because they’d be experiencing this shit storm during their formative years and I can’t even imagine how badly that would fuck them up.

I’ve never been more happy to he childless by choice.
- Comment on wrappers 2 months ago:
I think spiders are cool. I also have a completely irrational fear of them. I don’t understand it, I don’t have any clue where it came from, but spiders cause me to feel fear in a way unlike anything else in this world. I took it completely in stride when a doctor told me I “might not be ok” while looking at my xrays after a car accident in if I see a spider crawling across the bathroom floor while I’m pooping I’ll break out in cold sweats. I like to think that I’m a pretty rational person so this drives me crazy.

The dishwashers at my job labeled a cart “Dishpit Cart” and I can’t help but see “Dipshit Tart” every time I look at it.

Just curious, where are you going? My wife doesn’t want to move further from her family or we would be in New Zealand already.
