“I don’t have to change my behavior” is the most trivially easy thing for anyone to convince themself.
This is really at the core of what I was trying to say. If i asked for a drink with gi ger beer in it and received one with ginger ale in the place of the ginger bee, I’d consider that incorrect, regardless of either beverage’s history
To be clear, the drinks labeled ginger beer in every store i’ve been to is VERY different from the one labeled ginger ale
Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing. The joke here is that designing a building like this creates a lot of work for the engineers designing the building utilities
If you’re an architect, understand that this is the MEP equivalent of fighting words.
Not a fruit i know, but if you like pineapple on pizza you might also like pickled onions on pizza
My point being that if someone didn’t like little caesars and concluded that pizza is bad, that opinion is terribly uninformed
American is so mild that an even somewhat flavorful cheese will overpower the hell out of it. I’m not worried about a single slice of american diluting my cheese sauce. Not to any perceptible degree, anyway.
Where I’m from, we have access to sharp american cheese. It slaps.
Pointing to kraft singles and insisting that “american cheese bad” is like pointing to Little Caesars and insisting that pizza is a lousy food.
There’s at least one instance on futurama where a space ship is flown through a drive-through that’s just out in the vacuum of space
Call me crazy but I wear gloves when cleaning toilets
Some sink plungers have a collapsible flange hidden inside
“Anything that isn’t nothing”
Helps me push through when executive dysfunction hits. Getting outside for even just a little bit is a whole lot better than staying inside while telling myself I’m going to run 3 miles, for example
When I said “emulsified with garlic” I was trying to convey the idea that the garlic is the emulsifier. “Oil emulsified by egg with garlic added for flavor” is not an aioli by its rigid definition, but it does fit the american colloqual use
Aioli is “garlic and oil” by translation. By definition aioli is a spread made from oil emulsified with garlic, which mixing garlic into mayonnaise does not achieve. That said, the colloquial use of aioli to refer to just about any thick smooth spread is well on its way to changing that. Pedants like me can fight it all we want, but languages evolve. It’s just what they do.
Tolerating boredom is a skill worth developing
I think of it as being (sorta) similar to spraying and wiping down a dirty countertop. The spray alone isn’t going to get it fully clean, but it makes the wipe about a thousand times more effective at finishing the job.
I do feel for the 19 year old who was rightfully terrified of the thing but went on because his dad wanted to bond
“It’s not an RV, it’s a motorcoach”
a sentence that sounds best when shouted from a prison cell
