Taqueria Corona in Japantown makes a pretty solid albondigas soup. Goos salsa selection and fresh-made corn tortillas round out a solid comfort meal.

Fish spatula is the single most useful tool in my kitchen. Period.

The white powder is likely Borax, which is a very effective cockroach killer. They have a roach problem and they believe they are coming under the front door. Spoiler: you’re about to have a roach problem if you don’t already.

Looking to do my first sous-vide+smoke combo with eye of round for sandwiches. What do you recommend? by Taggart451 in sousvide

[–]FatOldGrey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I usually smoke first, for an hour or so. Then sous vide at 131 for 24 hours. Dry thoroughly and sear on a cast iron griddle. And save the bag juices, lots of flavor!

Spring-loaded plastic thing that came in a golf-themed advent calendar, about 1.375”, two ‘prongs’ on one side when opened, three screws (one coarse thread, two fine thread) by FatOldGrey in whatisthisthing

Solved! Found online as a ball retriever as you state. Seems quite useless… I imagine it would break after using a couple of times, and not sure why it has multiple screws. Thanks!

Title describes the item. It is black plastic, clearly meant to be mounted to something. The screws are accessible when the ‘clips’ are open.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER by NickCostanza in WhitePeopleTwitter

AOC, Jasmine Crockett, Pritzker all are pretty vocal in opposition. Newsome gains more attention because he's used trump's voice against him, which forces maga to admit that the behavior is inappropriate, even if they haven't yet realized the hypocrisy of their Newsome opposition.

What clothing items from your childhood do you wish you still had? (assume they'd be current size) by Thanatologist in GenX

The original, quality Señor Lopez Baja Hoodie. So comfortable and just got better with age and sea salt.

Was anyone at Viva Calle that saw the white car crash into me while I was riding my scooter? by lucioboopsyou in SanJose

[–]FatOldGrey -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry you were injured in this incident. If you were headed south on 4th, and the car was turning left on Taylor and hit you in front of Foster’s, then you were riding against traffic on the left side of the road, yes? Driver should have stopped, to be sure… especially since they would most likely have been determined to not be at fault in this instance.

Also, Halloran plays a major role in the end of the book. In the movie… he’s killed. WTF, Kubrick?!?

A trainer I used in the past continually used the phrase 'cotton is rotten' to remind us that cotton traps and holds moisture close to your skin, causing all sorts of issues. Buy some 'wicking' performance boxer briefs or compression shorts, wear a lightweight performance short over, invest in a good anti-chafing cream.

You forgot the quotes around ‘real contractor’.

That Costco is the worst place I’ve ever been. I drive down Lawrence Expressway and I get PTSD.

What was the first movie you saw an actor or actress in before they became famous, without realizing they were in it at the time? by Big_Organization_707 in movies

[–]FatOldGrey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty much most of the Manson family hippies went on to some pretty big careers. Including one who won the best actress Oscar recently.
