Last time I gambled I won $90. Figured I'd never get that lucky again and gave it up for good.

Alien (if you count the cat)

I count Ripley following protocol and refusing to open the airlock for a contaminated crewmate. If Ash hadn't stepped in, the movie would have ended very differently.

Aliens. After Gorman's breakdown, all the marines start taking orders from Ripley.

The history of rum is really interesting! French sugar plantations in the Caribbean started making it to earn money off waste sugar cane. Wine makers in France bribed the king to ban the import of rum, so it became a popular barter good, and in some places a de facto currency, around the Caribbean and part of the American East coast.

Which is why pirates had such ready access to it.

Never tried it, but I've heard that Applejack hangovers are pretty fierce. The alcohol is concentrated by repeatedly removing a cap of ice, so the toxins that are usually filtered out by distillation are at full strength.

Money-saving hint: rocks also take acrylic paint well.

Food always tastes better when someone made it for you.

Sing out loud.

I'm not a cruel man, so I don't do it in company.

Dude! I figured out a way to build the torment nexus at a third of the cost!

The original made use of ultrasonic mist. TF is ultrasonic mist?

"How did you realise you hated your boyfriend". We're just going to treat that like a normal thing to say?

Think someone did a Pathfinder conversion.

 

Especially if the sinners still need their punishment?

 

Either all at once, or over a lifetime?

 

My position is that it's a snack and husband tax must be paid. My wife is arguing that it's a meal or occupies some third food space and it's entirely hers. Who's right, court of Lemmy?

 

To explain what I mean, I think you can level up a cooking style. For example, pasta. At level 1, you're boiling dried pasta and adding sauce out of a jar. At level 1, you add your own spices. Level 3, switch to fresh pasta. Level 4, make your own sauce. And finally at level 5, make the pasta from scratch.

So with BBQ, I guess level 1 would be cooking the meat so it's neither burnt nor underdone. Maybe level 2 is mixing different meats/cuts that have different heat/time requirements and cooking well. Further levels = ?

 

Picture this: you're working in a large open-plan office and you need to send a message to Steve at the other end of the room. You pull out your messenger handgun, dictate your message (because you paid for the voice recognition feature) and let it engrave your words on a bullet. Then you simply fire it at the target mounted above Steve's cube!

Fast, attention-getting and simple. It's the perfect system.

I'm sharing this because any reduction in unnecessary packaging waste is good for the planet - and because I think laser-etching avocados is funny. 🙂

 

I followed a Jaime Oliver recipe for curry, which started with grating onion, ginger and garlic. I liked the curry, but grating an onion is a miserable job. He said that technique unlocked the onion's 'sweetness'. How much difference do you think I'd notice if I used a food processor?
