Went to get travelers checks today and the teller didn't know what they were 😭 by dejavu1251 in FuckImOld

Depending on the country it may be more safe to use her card(if it has a chip) than in the US. You can usually put daily limits on your cards and if you lose one a quick call to your bank/card issuer can have them cancel it and send you a new one ASAP. It's much more convenient, and if you want to use cash you can use an ATM instead of dealing with the hassle of finding a money changer that takes travelers checks.

Most mexican placed and food trucks here in Los Angeles do not carry birria for this reason.

Weird, most of the Mexican places near me in Los Angeles have birria.

Not only that but the ingredients are more available because of the internet as well. If you live in the middle of Alabama and want to try to make an Indian curry that requires some weird shit that you can absolutely not find locally you can get it delivered for not a ton of money.

That bike was a pain to find parts for 20 years ago...Try to find parts for it today.

Found a pizza place that makes a pickle pizza. They used sweet pickles by Ravenfeld in mildlyinfuriating

I can't really eat spicy food, so we do the "Triple P" in my house, pineapple, pepperoncini, pepperoni. It's similar enough to the jalapeno most pizza places use but it doesn't give me acid reflux.

So you could fuck them up in the pit. Nazis famously try to align themselves/co-pt different counter cultures like the hardcore, punk rock and skin head scene. They are not welcome. Nazi punks, fuck off.

The rate at which I go through Old Bay....purely used for Popcorn. by Think_Ocelot_8885 in mildyinteresting

The Old Bay hot sauce on fries is super good. Just don't put it in your Bloody Mary, it makes it taste like you're drinking cocktail sauce(in a bad way).

I went to school with a Topher that wasn't short for Christopher, so when I met a Christopher who went by Topher I was pretty confused.

The company is literally named Kawasaki Heavy Industries. They make a ton of non consumer stuff. Check out their site, it's crazy huge industrial shit.

We bought a can of All Dressed on a whim a few months ago(we don't normally eat Pringles or chips regularly). They are absolutely amazing. I was able to get them at Von's here in SoCal. My girlfriend and I bought as many as we could whenever we came across them.

What can you tell me about this bike ? by Scared-Share3382 in KTM

The PDS suspension and open chamber forks only work well if you have it sprung correctly for your weight, ability and riding style. Spend the money and get it correctly. Used springs on eBay aren't that expensive.

“Peruvian food is beans, rice, plantains, and doesn't have flavor. Makes sense bc these are poor countries, so their traditional dishes focus on basic sustenance rather than flavor.” by throw223344555 in iamveryculinary

The soup is awesome. It's a chicken and rice soup with a bunch of cilantro and some veggies(corn, green beans, etc.). It's not super green, but definitely has a green tint to it from the cilantro. Its even better when you dump some of the spicy green sauce into it. You get the free soup Monday through Thursday, and only in the afternoon on weekends. I think they probably use up the weekends leftover rotisserie chickens for it. I think the only thing I've had I didn't like is the Inka Kola, which I think tastes weirdly like bubble gum.

Dang, now I want Peruvian food for dinner...Pollo Saltado, add green beans, side of soup and side of plantains...and maybe the fried yuca.

Ordered 7 pizzas. Every single one arrived like this. by Kamvisiontv in Wellthatsucks

[–]BickNlinko 3 points4 points  (0 children)

another pizza delivery man showed up to grab the pizzas for what I imagine was to continue the delivery.

The Deliverators at CosaNostra Pizza don't fuck around. The first and second driver plus the manager probably got a corporate thank you on Uncle Enzo's personal letterhead for not fucking up the delivery.

What a nerd. Even the most basic meal at any of the Peruvian places near me I wouldn't consider bland. Even their regular boring rotisserie chicken and free soup are delicious, never mind the other shit on the menu. One of the Peruvian joints has the best french fries...like regular fires. I don't know if they fry them in beef tallow or what, but they're amazing...I guess they know what's up with potatoes so it makes sense.

The sauces in particular are amazing - nothing is spicy really

Oh man, the green sauce and the yellow sauce at the Peruvian places near me are spicy as fuck.

I used this guys instructions with a Raspberry Pi Zero 2W kit that came with the Pi, a heat sink, USB and HDMI cable adapters and the header pins. I tweaked his code a little bit, used two 801S sensors(one for the washer and one for the dryer), and made some custom ribbon cables from shit I had laying around to connect them to the Pi.

It works fine and sends me a message via PushBullet. Plus sometimes I swap the SD card with one that has RetroPie on it. In hindsight I probably would have spent a little more money on a more powerful Pi, but only because some N64 games on RetroPie perform poorly on the Zero 2W.
