It’s a lot easier for me to scoop 1/2 teaspoon of two spices, one tablespoon of another, and 2 teaspoons of a fourth than to measure 1.8 grams of one, 2.2 grams of one, 5.2 grams of one, and 3.8 grams of a fourth. The scoops I can put in the container and level off the top using the same container. The other way, I have to gently sprinkle or slowly scoop and sprinkle so it doesn’t go over the required amount.

Way faster for me to scoop, level, dump.

You just take your shoes off at the door and put them back on when you leave.

Someone that is wildly happy with their life is not thinking how life is so terrible and evil.

This isn’t a zero sum game.

You can be happy and recognize that life is also terrible and evil.

The GI Joe movie was fantastic though and the height of the show. Not a jump the shark moment.

Or they died.

Nick Drake.

Years ahead of his time and while he gets a lot of recognition posthumously in certain music circles, he didn’t have any hits during his life, or even any hits after, so the average Joe hasn’t heard of him.

All three of his albums are fantastic, though Five Leaves Left is my favorite.

The US has limited hard braking? What city do they live in?

You mean my house?

Honestly, I think it’s an impossible question. Like, how do you pick a favorite book that isn’t an absolute arbitrary answer to begin with? I don’t even think I could narrow it down if you asked by author. Like, which Piers Anthony book is my favorite? Damned if I know.

That’s why people go for classics. Because it isn’t answerable.

Interesting. I read these as a kid and remember nothing but them being ripping good yarns.

I’ve been listening to the 1001 albums you have to listen to before you die list. (There’s a website that randomizes it and gives you an album a day).

I’m about 100 albums in. The grand majority are trash, that includes stuff by the Beatles or the Rolling Stones or Janis Joplin, etc. Just absolute garbage. One of two songs worth listening to and the rest is straight trash.

Albums as an art form died because it was never really a good art form to begin with.

Flint water wasn’t that long ago.

While not impossible, it’s fairly hard to over season stuff.

I disagree here. Unless you’re used to overseasoned food already, it’s pretty easy to be heavy handed on the salt.

If you’re looking to reduce heartburn, add baking soda, not sugar.

Seems like a red grape juice would be closer.

Pumpkin pie. Add cardamom.

My issue is that if you don’t know what the article is about and it’s not a word/concept you know, there’s absolutely no chance of ‘winning’.

Folks or Everyone tend to be my go to.

Hamilton.

Thought it was probably fine, but massively overrated. Avoided pretty much everything about it until I saw it live.

It was better than the hype.

Most people don’t keep relish forks on hand.
