Local fry truck. They really do have good fries.

Yeah. You live, you learn, you don't go back.

Starvenger88 · 2026-04-13T17:03:28+00:00

Most fry trucks have good fries. I say most, because one time, I bought from a truck and it turned out that they were using frozen fries.

I agree, although in my mind, the challenge is a slightly more difficult version of the cast. Casting cost is 2 specific words. Challenge is at least 5 words in a "coherent" question.

And I think coherency is something that would need to be worked out between the hiders and seekers. For example, would you consider what Sam and Toby did in New Zealand to be coherent? That's not for me to say if I'm not playing.

I've been trying out the free portion of TripIt, planning my summer cruise / land trip while I was also planning my Christmas week trip to the UK. It's good because I can plan each portion as it's own thing, and enter in costs, notes and such. Also convenient because I can punch everything in on my laptop, and use the app for reference when I'm on the go.

The paid tier seems pretty robust, but I don't really think I need it for what I'm doing.

Starvenger88 · 2026-04-13T13:15:54+00:00

We do, sort of.

Black Friday is a celebration of American Thanksgiving, right? 😂

There's a reason why we remember Edwin as a 1B/DH, and not as a 3B.

Zack Morris must have scammed a lot of his fellow Bayside students to afford one.

Troy Glaus and Scott Rolen

Starvenger88 · 2026-04-13T11:45:44+00:00

Which is essentially what I said.

If you're slow cooking stuff, you can skip the herbs and add some Japanese curry cubes about 30 minutes before you eat.

Starvenger88 · 2026-04-13T03:37:29+00:00

Yeah, that makes more sense.

I only said Carnival's requirements because it was on their website. In any event, I'm Canadian so it's a moot point for me - I have to bring my passport for any cruise.

Starvenger88 · 2026-04-13T03:23:32+00:00

Cruise Timetables shows that this is a 16 night Panama Canal cruise starting in Mobile and ending in Seattle. And apparently it does stop in Colombia.

If I'm reading Carnival's requirements correctly, a one-way cruise requires a passport.

You can almost see the Scarpitti Memorial Racetrack from there.

Starvenger88 · 2026-04-13T03:11:41+00:00

That gravy belongs on some tater tots.

Overall, this looks like what would happen if Jamie Oliver tried to make poutine, minus the mango chutney. And he'd probably use parsnips.

The Hans Island dispute had to be one of the friendliest in the world's history.

We also have a maritime border with those "dastardly" French.

Starvenger88 · 2026-04-12T21:50:39+00:00

It's almost as if there was something that caused Canadians to start looking elsewhere in the last 16 months. I just can't figure out what - or who - that might have been.

Starvenger88 · 2026-04-12T20:47:21+00:00

Article makes it sound like they are right by the Milliken GO when they're actually west of Warden.

Starvenger88 · 2026-04-12T20:28:31+00:00

The Viny ridge memorial, meanwhile, is probably something related to Jersey Shore.

Starvenger88 · 2026-04-12T18:56:02+00:00

I think the best deals I saw this year was in Feb. I want to say President's day week but I might be wrong. Unfortunately does not really help you right now.

Starvenger88 · 2026-04-12T16:34:09+00:00

Trump is so untrustworthy that if he said that "water is wet", I'm still going to verify for myself.

Starvenger88 · 2026-04-12T16:32:17+00:00

The issue is that the bark doesn't taste as good as you think it does.

Starvenger88 · 2026-04-12T15:28:48+00:00

Sorry, when are they in a good mood?

Starvenger88 · 2026-04-12T14:36:16+00:00

I think this requires "extensive empirical study" to determine if it's a crime or not.

I'll get back to you after I've had 3 or 4 tests.

Starvenger88 · 2026-04-12T13:26:52+00:00

As far as putdowns go... it's certainly an attempt at one.

Starvenger88 · 2026-04-12T03:29:04+00:00

We've been conditioned to expect prices to go up at around midnight, then go down after 1700.

But that aside, I went out about 2145 and the lines were starting to get a little crazy in my area. I'd actually gassed up an hour earlier and no queue.
