I fucking hate fennel, but I couldn’t possibly be more indifferent to celery. Ive never even considered it to have much taste. Fennel and licorice, though? VILE.
- Comment on Why does everyone put celery in soup stock? 5 hours ago:
I’m learning today celery has an actual flavor…and I’m perfectly aware of mirepoix.
- Comment on Why does everyone put celery in soup stock? 5 hours ago:
…celery has a flavor?

The flight and combat is just not very fun.
- Comment on Refried beans is just Latino hummus 6 hours ago:
Pans are often called frying pans. Pan fried is just a bit of oil in a flat pan. Deep fried is submerged like French fries or fried chicken.
- Comment on Refried beans is just Latino hummus 1 day ago:
They’re pan fried, sometimes with lard. They’re not really fried twice, I know that.
- Comment on It's quite impressive that most English speakers across the world understand each other, despite variations in accents/dialects 2 days ago:
The overwhelming consensus here is that a strong brogue Scottish accent is the main exception.
- Comment on Refried beans is just Latino hummus 4 days ago:
Except for the part where hummus isn’t fried even once.
- Comment on I watch the first Star Trek Discovery episode, I didn't like it. 1 week ago:
I say it’s the best because it’s not a prequel or a retread. It’s its own story, and it’s also really fucking well done.
And I think SNW took some notes, and that’s why it works.

In the end, I think The Orville is the best of all the new stuff.
- Comment on Google's Agentic AI wipes user's entire HDD without permission in catastrophic failure 1 week ago:
I’d compare the Search AI more to Frito in Idiocracy. ChatGPT is like Joe.
- Comment on Google's Agentic AI wipes user's entire HDD without permission in catastrophic failure 1 week ago:
Well, there is the minor detail that an AI in this context has zero ability to kill anyone, and that it’s not a true AI like Daneel or his pals.
- Comment on Google's Agentic AI wipes user's entire HDD without permission in catastrophic failure 1 week ago:
Google’s search AI is awful. It gives me a wrong answer, I’d say 70% of the time.
- Comment on Valve dev counters calls to scrap Steam AI disclosures, says it's a "technology relying on cultural laundering, IP infringement, and slopification" 2 weeks ago:
…what calls? No one is calling for this. One dude said it was unnecessary. That’s not a call, it’s an opinion. He’s not out picketing for the end of fucking AI labels.

Have I…met any Chimps? Uh, no, I guess they go to different bars than I do.
- Comment on Black Friday, more like buy stupid shit day. 2 weeks ago:
I’m sorry you’re being held at gunpoint to make shitty purchases. I tend to just ignore it, and I’ve survived so far.
- Comment on *confused flatfish noises* 2 weeks ago:
Right, I know, and that’s because we had better stamina than predators, and then developed intelligent brains. But are apes?
- Comment on *confused flatfish noises* 2 weeks ago:
Are apes considered predators? I kind of thought they were just neither.
- Comment on Settings you believe ANY game should have? (This is me advocating for a restart/reboot button on ALL games) 2 weeks ago:
I don’t think I can name one game without a motion blur slider, or toggle.
- Comment on Settings you believe ANY game should have? (This is me advocating for a restart/reboot button on ALL games) 2 weeks ago:
Ohh, that type of setting.
One option I really appreciated in Uncharted 4 was the ability to restart cutscenes, and I wish it was in every game with cutscenes.
- Comment on An entire PS5 now costs less than 64GB of DDR5 memory, even after a discount — simple memory kit jumps to $600 due to DRAM shortage, and it's expected to get worse into 2026 3 weeks ago:
I believe I paid around $60 for the equivalent in 2015 or so.

Vision floaties?

I do, and have had the same question.

Well, I’m writing something at the moment, and I very well may use this for my botanical witch. 😊
- Comment on YSK: A simple trick to keep your bananas ripe for a lot longer. 4 weeks ago:
Are you telling me some kind of gmo banana could be like a biological weapon?
- Comment on YSK: A simple trick to keep your bananas ripe for a lot longer. 4 weeks ago:
I’ve also read keeping them in the produce bag helps

Me too
- Comment on What's a recent game you've tried playing that isn't worth the hype? 5 weeks ago:
I liked both games, but combat is ruined in the second. Literally just constant spamming of massive AOE attacks. All the nuance of the first is literally nuked from orbit.
- Comment on People who rely on their phones/computers to tell time probably forgot or didn't realize that a Daylight Saving Time-Change even happened, some might've forgotten that DST existed at all. 1 month ago:
Me sitting here in Arizona not knowing what you’re all talking about then remembering I’m in Arizona.
