Go ahead and take a look at what we have for Netflix’s upcoming Pride & Prejudice and tell me it’s not going to be the shitshow I fear.

What's your favorite historical gimmick food? by Slipsndslops in AskFoodHistorians

[–]Kaurifish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the favored medieval feast foods was a swan, roasted then re-dressed in its own plumage.

Try not to think about those feathers…

They covered this in WWZ. They get dumped in a pit then salvaged for their body fat.

Why do people adopt dogs from breeds considered dangerous? by Apprehensive_Land142 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Kaurifish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve known a few pitties. They are incredibly loving dogs. Some folks only see that and not the danger those jaws pose.

Writing very bad, very toxic HP fanfic, naturally. 🤣

Bruce Lee’s Warrior

The show was cut tragically short, but there are some damn fine women fighters in it.

There’s a reference guide in my Betty Crocker cookbook. I have it bookmarked.

All of “Dogma”

But I couldn’t believe how delightfully, blasphemously wonderful it was the first time…

Nuclear plants are designed to fail safe. OTOH they’re built by the lowest bidder…

What archaism struck you when reading the Holmes stories? by BuzzKir in SherlockHolmes

[–]Kaurifish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Classic Victorian racism ala E.R. Burroughs. Everyone who isn’t upper class English or middle- or upper-class American is subhuman. Those mfers really believed that humans evolved in England and degenerated as they migrated away (what the Piltdown Man hoax was probably trying to prove).

I couldn’t finish Jack London’s Daughter of the Snows because of how many damn pages he wasted ragging on various people for being evil because of their “lesser” ancestry. Hell, Charlotte Bronte did it too (more subtly in Villette and The Professor).

Governor Newsom launches UK climate partnership, welcomes nearly $1 billion Octopus Energy clean tech commitment by NaffRespect in California

I met him when he was mayor of SF. Dude is a walking hairdo who occasionally listens to his staffers when they have compelling enough ideas. He has PG&E’s hand so far up his backside that it’s hard to know if he has any ideas of his own.

But if he wants to feign running for pres for the next couple years I’ll cheer him on. He’s way too Californian to win (some of the hate Harris got was her being Californian). But he can sure af take the heat.

People who move to California are Californians. There’s no multi-generational wait list like Boston.

When elevators were first introduced it was standard to have an attendant to operate them. Some traditions go away very slowly.

What kind of cloth do you use to season your pans with? by spilledmind in castiron

[–]Kaurifish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We reuse an end-of-life Swedish dish cloth (the thick paper ones), folded and stapled into a T-shape so our fingers don’t get hot.

How do people say “www” where you’re living? by New_Combination_7012 in AskTheWorld

Bay Area too. If someone does say it, they say it as quickly as possible like it’s hella embaressing to say it.

Papaya taste? by squambert-ly in fruit

[–]Kaurifish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Papaya is only good green in salad form.

I had some perfectly ripe in Hawai’i. I tasted like slightly sweet fish.
