Wait what?

That’s more like it. In Estonian we call it “hapukurk” or “sour cucumber” which implies fermented too. You can have all kinds of different flavours too. I’ve never made them myself (yet) but my mom usually adds garlic cloves, blackcurrant leaves and dill, all from her garden of course. It’s delicious.

So what would you consider spicy now?

Uh… Whatever you say, that’s not really a thing this side of the ocean. We use a lot of different things in pickles - never have I seen anyone use HFCS. Not even in store bought pickles.

I tried Fanta in the US and it was disgusting compared to the European version. If the corn syrup is what causes that and they also put it in pickles where you come from, I understand why you might prefer the salt type. But I assure you, even store bought vinegar pickles are way superior to salt pickles here.

You’ve never had the good stuff then. Salt brine based is boring.

Yea, but I’m not eating them for health reasons and the brine ones suck lol

Usually vinegar where I come from. Wayyyy better

That’s my theory. They’ll pump out a few cookie cutter games on the existing IPs, but relatively little creativity is going to be allowed. It’s all for gamepass.

They’ve been touting Gamepass as the xbox seller for a long time now. Several years since they gave up on competing using exclusives if you ask me.

They probably realized that they’re better off paying 3rd party devs to put their games on gamepass than developing their own games.

Lots of modern cars have electric power steering. Many of them have lane keep assist.

Man I had existential dread at like 3 or 4 when I started wondering what happens after death and what the meaning of this existence is if it’s limited to one lifetime… I’m not even bullshitting.

My personal anti-suggestion is always the office. Too much cringe. I’ll watch compilations of Jim pranking Dwight on YouTube, but I can’t watch the show as a whole because of Michael.

But then it beeps anyway!

Someone mentioned that it was indeed pandemic time. Hence the lack of any parked cars.

I have no experience of my own, but at least in my country, IKEA offers a 15 year warranty on their stainless steel cookware, except the ones with nonstick coating (which isn’t nearly as durable). It’s fairly affordable too. I’m thinking of replacing some nonstick pans of mine with their stainless steel offerings, but haven’t yet pulled the trigger.

I figured it might be interesting to add here because it’s one of the few companies that sells in most of the western world and I believe the lineup is similar everywhere. If anyone has experience with their cookware, I’d be happy to hear about it.

They stock really good røkt laks. Used to know someone who worked in Norway and used to bring it sometimes.

I mean Britain was kind of a viking colony once upon a time lol

I love me a drive thru when I’m so exhausted I don’t want to get out of the car. Car has comfy seats and HVAC. Normally I do prefer going in to get the order faster though.

This seems like a very American thing. I’ve never not received my food. No, the drivers aren’t well paid here either.

The one time food did not arrive, it was driver error (similar buildings on one lot) and we contacted the service, got a new order for free (the old one would’ve been cold already)
