Some of the Ace’s that I go to have a popcorn machine that you can just grab free popcorn out of, so you’re not far off with the third space thing. Every time I’m in there I learn something new from one of the 70-year-old retirees that only have a job there to get out of the house, and desperately want to share their DIY home improvement knowledge. Last time I went an employee ended up pulling out his phone and showing me progress pics of his bathroom renno lol

You guys hiring? How’s your benefits package?

Why would I be? The calorie density of spices like oregano are incomparable to that of oil.

If you’re omniscient, all-knowing, and all powerful, does the concept of what’s “easier” even matter?

Can someone tell me what they’re trying to say with that line? Does someone in the Monster marketing department think the covers of history textbooks are… Exciting?

Multiple. I still want to know how many actual calories I’m adding to those veggies though, because it’s not zero.

Of course it matters. It’s oil, of course it has calories, and of course it contains fat. To claim otherwise is simply lying.

And I regularly spray cooking oil for at least two seconds when prepping a sheet tray for baked goods or to roast vegetables, prepping bowls for dough, or a whole host of other common cooking tasks. Don’t try and pretend a 1/4 second spritz is the norm, or a useful serving size for something like oil.

They’re both gorgeous. Why do we have to pit two queens against one another?

The environmental impact problem with AI is the land, water, energy use, and pollution caused by the data centers and power plants being built for it, not the electricity cost of sending a prompt to a chatbot. So this isn’t really an unpopular opinion, it’s a misunderstanding of reality.

I’ve never had more audio issues than when my work laptop upgraded itself to Windows 11, it’s insanity

TPMs would be cooler if they weren’t proprietary. I understand the benefits of having a place to store sensitive things in a way that they never have to touch disk, but having those chips be controlled in a proprietary fashion by some tech megacorp is not ideal.

But you know what I mean right?

It’s been working so far

Awe that’s cute, trying to apply consistency across English words

They’re probably banking on the fact that devs love making games, and when a bunch get laid off, some of them will inevitably go start some new studio that Microsoft can swoop in and buy again in 5-10 years, wring another game out of, then toss aside like trash again.

Most Taco Bell items are surprisingly healthy/balanced too though. Like, other than some of the crazier novelty items, pretty much everything on the menu is just protein and veggies wrapped in a tortilla. The bean and rice burrito has some of the best macros of any fast food item, and as a bonus, it’s still relatively cheap, especially compared to Chik fil a.

But not too busy to show up in the token girl boss smackdown scene

Taking it down properly makes it easier* for them to put it back up though

They make bigger ones designed for harder metals, and they have the advantage of being much quieter than a circular saw or an angle grinder

This makes me think of Love Island. Season 7 is my favorite so far, because it’s by far the most wholesome season, and it’s nice to see people resolving conflicts in a calm, mature, healthy manner.

It’s widely regarded by the overall Love Island fandom as the worst season though, because there’s not enough drama. Because people love watching things that make them unhappy I guess.

This also makes me think of The Great British Baking Show. It’s a competition show, sure, so people get eliminated which is sad. But all the contestants are nice to one another, the judges are honest but not mean, it’s just an all around wholesome time. Contrast that to all the other cooking competition shows out there, which are mostly adrenaline-fueled nightmares where everyone’s mean to everyone else. I just don’t get it man
