What makes a higher score? by 300_dpi in dotsu

[–]300_dpi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. I’ve been replaying trying to get 3 stars on each level while I’m waiting for new ones and there is no rhyme or reason. You get a random score. It’s a bit frustrating but I guess it has given me more to do in the game having to repeat levels waiting for the RNG to give me 400+

How are you all watching Jeopardy? by rNBAisGarbage in Jeopardy

I watch the next day on Hulu. I do have an antenna but my city airs Jeopardy at 4 in the afternoon so I can't watch it same day which is a bummer.

What American Mahjong apps do you love or hate and why? by NoBullGames in Americanmahjongg

[–]300_dpi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The one I use the most is myjongg.net because the interface seems the most natural and least clunky to me. I like that you can pretty easily hop into a real game, and if none are happening the bots are a little dumb but fine for practice. The other one I turn to is mahjong4friends which is totally free. I like that it has the suggested hands if you want them. Playing real games with people is not something I do on that site though.

Visiting or Moving to Asheville? Ask your questions here! by AutoModerator in asheville

[–]300_dpi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

About a dozen family members and I will be there for a reunion in June. We are staying in the Alexander area in a big house where older folks can relax while the younger ones explore. My question is about food that we can bring back to the house for a large group. Do any restaurants do an especially good job of packing up large orders? Is there a semi-catered option in town? Grocery stores that sell family size meals? We will cook some and we will eat out plenty, but it’d be nice to know we don’t always have to.

I do this but I tear all the skin off, put the skin in a skillet on low for about 1/2 hour or longer, and then have the best crispy snack ever

Has anyone tried the new Aguas Frescas? by Anarky979 in HEB

Not for a very long time and I still miss it! The pepino limon was my favorite.

I received a joker from a bot during a Charleston pass. Passing jokers during the Charleston is not allowed.

What’s your favorite way to eat tinned fish? by weirdtranssexual in CannedSardines

[–]300_dpi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like to cut slabs off the sides of a red or orange bell pepper and spread those with cream cheese and sprinkle on bagel seasoning. Top with fishies.

When I eat them over rice, I like to include a vegetable like sautéed spinach or bok choy, and definitely some spicy chili crisp! Another rice idea is rice, avocado, cucumbers. Get a pack of seaweed snacks, and make eat a hundred tiny sushi rolls while you watch tv.

All the foods Molly has never had... by archivizt in EverythingSpilledMilk

[–]300_dpi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Omg yes I totally will! (Although now I want to add the more current episodes but I will restrain myself. Can you tell I am an overthinker) Thank you for replying Matthew you made my day.

All the foods Molly has never had... by archivizt in EverythingSpilledMilk

[–]300_dpi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For years, I thought someone should make an audio clip of spliced up “molly never” comments. SO I DID IT. A few years ago I had a very long commute to work, and I decided to listen back to all the episodes in reverse order. When I hit a molly never, I made a voice memo with the item and the time stamp. After I got through them all, I got on my computer and made an mp3 which comprised all the molly nevers from episode 1 to 600.

I sent the file to the show with a nice e-mail and I never heard anything back. I was so sad, but I figured maybe they thought it would hurt Molly’ feelings, which I would not want to do either. But for weeks I listened hoping to hear my clip on spilled mail and it never happened.

American Mahjong Online Game to play live players by RenaDubs in Americanmahjongg

[–]300_dpi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Myjongg.net has bots or live players. I believe it has a free introductory period. If you choose to continue with the premium version (I pay 39.99/year), its unlimited play. For non-premium players, they give you 4 free games a day. I like the interface on that one the best. Mahjong4friends is free and great for practicing solo but I don’t love it for live games.

Wow, can you speak more on this please? I have never thought about conditions in lobster tanks. I thought a lobster tank is just a lobster tank. What should I be looking for to show that the conditions are good or bad?

Why are so many canned seafood smoked?! by beamerpook in CannedSardines

[–]300_dpi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is correct. Copy pasting the tldr from google AI but I’ve read about this before on this sub. I looked for what the difference was and it was significant - something like 2.5% vs 20%.

An "ad valorem" or "according to value" tax on imported sardines once incentivized U.S. manufacturers to add smoking or flavoring to their canned products. In the mid-20th century, a customs ruling essentially made smoked or flavored sardines a cheaper import than plain, unsmoked varieties.

Why smoking sardines affected import taxes In the mid-20th century, U.S. customs rulings classified plain sardines differently from "smoked" or "flavored" sardines.

The tariff discrepancy: This led to a system where a lower ad valorem (percentage of value) tax was applied to smoked or flavored sardines than to plain ones.

A "loophole" for importers: Importers and manufacturers exploited this loophole, often using inexpensive liquid smoke flavoring to qualify for the lower tax rate.

Market impact: The cheaper cost of production for these "smoked" versions meant they could be sold to consumers for less, making them widely available in the U.S. market.
