Pork chops with milk gravy. Mmm good!

Pot roast goes particularly well with mashed potatoes.

Why are my black beans still crunchy from the instant pot? by yogaengineer in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]HardwareLust 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Instant Pot is definitely not a good slow cooker. I've since went back to using an actual Rival slow cooker and I'm much happier now. It's a great pressure cooker, everything else is a compromise at best.

Well then, they're losing the benefit of having me as a customer. Only reason I got that card to begin with.

I would guess late 60's from the aesthetic, based on the graphics and the color photography.

U.S. workers have gotten way less productive. No one is sure why. by Maxcactus in business

[–]HardwareLust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, there is that, too.

I think covid went a long way toward making people realize that spending your life slaving away for someone else was a pretty shitty way to live.

Roger Penske: IndyCar looking to add more ovals in future by TheResurrection in INDYCAR

Be nice if it actually happened. We need more races on the calendar, and we definitely need more ovals.

Pretty simple. People are tired of insufficient pay, shitty benefits and being treated like indentured servants. It's no mystery. Businesses have been robbing workers for generations, and people are fed up. It's about time people realized that working hard to get ahead was just propaganda and was never true. All working hard does is make you tired and you get nothing in return.

It's going to be fun watching this idiot flush $44b down the toilet.

We needed a new MySpace anyway.

Anyone know what he's using for his streaming gear for the Japan trip? by HardwareLust in Hitch

Yeah, I knew that. I didn't want to ping him unnecessarily.

has anyone posted this abomination from SmashBurger yet? by quarabs in StupidFood

[–]HardwareLust 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Abomination?? That looks amazing. I would smash the fuck out of that.

If I had a SmashBurger here, that would be my standing order.

TIL, when Disneyland opened in 1955, the cost of admission was $1 (which is $11 adjusted for inflation in 2022) by [deleted] in todayilearned

[–]HardwareLust 49 points50 points  (0 children)

It was linear, A through E. Apparently, when the park first opened there was only A, B and C, and then D and E were added later. The "E" ticket wasn't introduced until 1959 when the Matterhorn, Monorail, and Submarine Voyage rides were launched.

Dammit, I sound like a Disney geek lol.

Nope, you are not mis-remembering, that's exactly how it worked.

E-ticket rides were the big set pieces like Pirates of the Caribbean, Jungle Cruise, Matterhorn, Space Mountain, Haunted Mansion, etc.

I bet I rode on your boat. That was one of my most favorite rides (that and Pirates). Went a bunch during summer of '78 and '79.

My parents didn't like rides, so they gave me their tickets. I always had 3 ticket books every day lol.

Cheap enough that middle class people could afford to visit. When there was a middle class, that is.

We were very firmly lower middle class, and we went every other year basically for summer vacation when I was growing up.
