I mixed up a few words and in the context interpreted this as “horse genitals”.

French toast. I’ve developed a terrible (as in, frighteningly bad for you) and amazing recipe by cranking up the fat content from other recipes and adding a little more spice.

6-8 slices of bread (decently thick Italian bread is what I usually use, but obviously French bread is good for French toast) 4 eggs 4 Tbsp butter ¼ cup half & half 1 Tbsp real maple syrup (don’t you dare use fake stuff) 1 tsp cinnamon ½ tsp vanilla extract ¼ tsp nutmeg

Leave the eggs and butter out so they get to room temperature. If the butter isn’t super soft, melt it.

Whisk everything (except the bread) together well. If the ingredients are too cold, the butter will solidify in chunks. It’s also a good idea to whisk between batches to keep everything evenly suspended. Dunk the bread slices for good coverage and cook them up on a griddle or pan preheated to medium heat until lightly brown on both sides. Top the finished product with maple syrup or vanilla ice cream. Or both. Schedule a cardiologist visit. Enjoy.

Crepes are basically French pancakes, the best way to improve pancakes. Belgian waffles are improved waffles. French toast is improved toast. Does speaking French automatically elevate breakfast or something?

Yeah, my dad and I would actually take them up on these offers. Win-win. I imagine you haven’t looked at wood prices in a while. Even firewood is expensive. We’d turn some of them into boards (walnut, in particular), and get plenty of winter fuel with the rest.

If it’s 400,000 employees, that means at least one in every thousand Americans works for the company.

I also didn’t realize there were so many Starbucks shops outside the US (it was founded in the US, and I thought it was majority domestic). I get the “world outside America” annoyance, but it’s an American fast food chain, so I don’t think it’s unreasonable for someone who has only lived in North America to assume it’s still that way. Dunkin Donuts has about 9500 stores in the US and 3000 abroad (despite opening a store in Japan one year before Starbucks opened its first in Seattle, Washington), for comparison. And Dunkin coffee tastes MUCH better than Starbucks, so I don’t understand the international appeal (or national appeal, for that matter, but I am only one man with an opinion).

I did the actual math without assumptions this time, and about one in 2000 Americans work for Starbucks, which is still astonishing, and well within the same order of magnitude.

Lauren Boebert’s sketchy re-election plan is already blowing up in her face (www.lgbtqnation.com)

Even though anti-LGBTQ+ Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) recently decided to run for re-election in a different district to increase her chances of success, her plan is already backfiring. In fact, she might not even end up on the ballot....

Ibram X. Kendi said something about this that made me stop using the term “white trash”. Basically, the idea of the term is that “white trash” don’t uphold the virtue of whiteness, that whiteness is goodness, and white trash are white in skin color only. Thus, using the term supports white supremacy, whether or not you realize it.

So thank you for saying something, even if it’s unpopular.

It can save data by excluding data streams that you don’t need. For instance, I don’t need French, Italian, Japanese, German 5.1 audio streams that each have 700Mbps bitrates or higher, nor do I need an English 1.5Gbps master audio stream, a 700 Mbps English stream, a 500 Mbps descriptive audio for the blind, and 5 different special edition commentary tracks for a film I’ll watch once or twice. All those tracks can really add up, and torrent sites are often country or language specific, so remuxes might have original language and/or native language audio only.

I’m impressed that the bokeh balls at the edge of the frame are more cat’s-eye than round.

Saying that a person’s labor shouldn’t be valued, and that others should be able to steal your labor without consequence, is an interesting take for a communist.

It's time to mandate automatic headlights, imo

Sometimes I have to drive after dark in my city, and it never fails that if I drive any appreciable distance that I always see at least one person (often more) driving with their lights off. I do not need to tell y’all why this is dangerous. We’re a community of enthusiasts. We know. Plenty of us are driving older cars that...

Taillights are only illuminated when headlights are turned on. Daytime running lights only illuminated the front, so it appears that headlights are on, but taillights remain off.

That part is actually what’s misleading. I don’t know anybody who gets 20 or 30 oz cups of dark roast drip coffee. 10 oz is a more reasonable size. A more useful comparison would be that one lemonade is like having two or three dark roast coffees.

Under capitalism, nobody is given a jar; jars are “earned”. One man owns the jar factory and most of the jars.

I watched my roommate play that game, and we just sat there in stunned silence.

There’s probably a point in Toronto that is a closer drive to Ottawa than to the other end of Toronto.

100% agree. Excellent, tasteful adaptation. It keeps the feel, the most important characters, stories, science, etc. It’s my favorite show of all time, and the books are just perfect.

I’m a Chrisjen Avasarala fan myself. Amos’s conversations with “Chrissy” are some of the best dialogue ever written.

She’s a 6’ tall kickboxer. I think she’s perfectly intimidating.

Yes! That was my favorite part of the Reddit sports community. I think it will help the community here grow. Nothing better than watching the game together.

I appreciate you. I’m a teetotaling vegetarian. I usually manage to figure something out (and I try not to impose or be a killjoy), but it’s easier when colleagues are looking out for you.
