Well, sure, it’s a smash burger but with no seasoning other than S&P, just a shitload of super-finely chopped onion.

I mean, I don’t disagree with anything you say, but that’s because I have a progressive mindset. Which kind of was the point.

You’re saying this wasn’t about cooking? Shocked, I tell you, shocked!

I don’t know about Flay and Ray but Ramsey was, at least a proper ‘Michelin starred’ chef before he became a TV cartoon.

Rude!

Man, you should see my take on an authentic Valencian Paella!

Nothing makes a carbonara ‘pop’ as much as grating some stale bread into it.

I do this all the time when I make an authentic carbonara.

I actually like to use banana bread for the hint of sweetness it brings.

And, of course, guancale is difficult to get here so I use cut-up hot dogs instead. And as a time-saver, instead of eggs, I use mayonnaise which also brings some creaminess (in addition to the heavy cream I like to add). Plus fresh eggs are super expensive right now. On the subject of expensive, Parmigiana Regiano costs a bomb so I sub in a dozen slices of American cheese to get that indulgent mouth feel. Also, it’s important to get some veggies into the kids, so I also like to throw in some peas, carrots, yam, and broccoli. And sweet chilli sauce, just enough to make it taste interesting.

I love a proper carbonara.

Yes, I agree.

But surely you can acknowledge the possibility that some people believe transgenderism is an affront to god and an existential threat to children, or whatever, then their position is not dissimilar.

That’s the issue. What makes ‘this is offensive’ more valid than ‘this is dangerous’?

This is just another front in the war between religion and reason.

Sweet baby cheesus I love me some mane. Ooh, yeah, baby girl, wear that mane!

I may be confused.

I mean it’s not an easy question to answer is it? How is my ideological position that ‘nigger’ is not acceptable and removing it makes the book suitable for modern readers any different from someone else’s ideological position that, e.g., ‘transgender’ is not acceptable and removing it makes whatever book suitable for modern readers?

me saying there were 4,000 The protesters in Denver means that in the city of Denver, there were 4,000 protesters.

Population of Denver: 715,522 (2020 census).

4,000 is 0.56% of 715,522.

A punchier example would be And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie - the best selling murder mystery of all time - which was first published as Ten Little Niggers

There are many, but my current bugbear is the wireless Apple mouse. It has a built in rechargeable battery and and a tiny little port for you to plug the recharging cable in. The port is mounted on the bottom of the mouse rendering it useless while it’s being charged. I guess it’s to make it look nicer but it’s so stupid.

That’s why you should just drink it straight from the bottle box.

FTFY

Wasn’t she replaced by a doppelgänger?

Catcher in the Rye, of course.

Make sure to scribble madly, illegibly, in the margins and the occassionally glare at your fellow passengers while making finger guns.

Well, strangling animals, golf and masturbating.

I don’t have a huge amount of respect for recruiters having been involved with them on both sides of the hiring process.

It often feels like they treat it like a numbers game - minimise effort by just throwing enough resumes at a job and hoping one will stick and then earn an easy cut. That will earn them more than seriously trying to match candidates with jobs.

@[email protected] isn’t here to improve his life. This is at least the 10th post I’ve seen from him bemoaning his terrible life. Any advice he’s given is dismissed as being irrelevant or impossible.

I don’t know what he’s looking for but it’s not solutions.
