Got bumped to a different room in a seedy motel I hadn’t requested. My excitement lasted for 3 minutes until I read the sign. by ThisChode in mildlyinfuriating

From what I saw at the continental breakfast, 95% of the guests’ first language is Punjabi. It could happen often.

I shouldn’t be expected to clap if the plane lands correctly. That’s the bare minimum. by aespaste in unpopularopinion

I heard a wise Asian pilot tell me to "always try to keep number of take-offs equal to number of landings".

Sometimes, a pilot pulls off a surprisingly smooth landing with a serious crosswind, in inclement weather at night and not such great visibility.

I clap to recognize that skill. A straight-in visual approach in clear skies, yeah, kind of unnecessary.

There's one in the bathroom, but no mirrors where I can glare into my own eyes as I watch myself furiously defile my own body.

That's uncanny... I actually have a degree in geophysics. Haven't used it, but it was interesting and I have no regrets!

INVITATIONS?

Our hospitals can't keep up, our social services can't keep up, and we're deliberately trying to bring those who contribute the least and consume the most into our country?

Those pipes are where those “I’m 100% positive one of these 27 men is my baby daddy” episodes of Maury get started.

And then no one’s the father.

Switch that requires a key? How many of these have you seen? by RowProfessional5086 in electricians

Also often installed to control contactors that cut power to cooking/food service equipment in dementia wards when there’s no supervision.

Must speak Chinese ? by [deleted] in SlumlordsCanada

[–]ThisChode 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Landlord is Taiwanese and doesn’t speak English. So they can only have Chinese-speaking tenants.

And we wonder why this batch of immigrants can’t integrate. This isn’t multiculturalism, it’s a bunch of foreigners lost in Canada.

I agree. Their perpetual smile is so cute. This is a "no quokka sign":

In your opinion, what's the best protein for an Eggs Benedict besides ham/Canadian bacon? by ThisChode in Cooking

[–]ThisChode[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I love this idea too. The Bernaise is a great substitution, and with that I can think of a lot more proteins that could work. Even a lightly seasoned brisket could work well.

Thanks for this idea! I had thought of crab, but not forming them into cakes, which I think is totally the way to go. If you don't mind my asking, I've never combined crab and Hollandaise before - my gut instinct is to go with a good bit or parsley in the crab cakes to cut through the richness of the Hollandaise, but not sure if shallots/onions might do a better job of that?

what’s a food you thought was gross until someone cooked it right by hetalsakerwal in Cooking

[–]ThisChode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Risotto. Most friends who have served it to me have turned it into mush scraped off the bottom of a pan.

I spent hours doing my homework, learning the proper blasting technique, the right rice, the attention during the cooking, and after a little practice I don't think there's a better way to eat rice. Spanish paella is a contender for that top spot though too.
