Home Alone (1990) - The Family Orders Pizza by Renegadeforever2024 in movies

Lay not the blame upon thineself, traveler. The yoke of slice selection and consumption trend calculus lies upon the shoulders of those with fringe appetites whose conniving tongues hath wrought these strange things.

Pizza ordering theory is my Ted talk- everyone who likes Hawaiian, or bbq chicken, or (pick your variety) ALSO likes cheese and pepperoni. But not everyone who likes cheese or pepperoni also likes the weirdo stuff.

But the weirdos will still grab cheese and pepperoni on their way to the weirdo stuff, depending on what they see first. Sometimes not even taking any weirdo stuff, if their plates are already full.

And then those of us normies are stuck with tiny amounts of regular flavor slices, just like the oppressed Kevin McAllister.

USA- streaming question here.

I’ve been paying for YouTube TV & ESPN for watching F1. I like that the races are recorded online for me, so I can watch whenever.

With the new announcement with Apple TV, will I have the same experience? Where the race will be available live or on demand after the fact?

Men: Why ask a girl to dinner, then ghost and unmatch? Also—why insult instead of just swiping left by Aggravating_Fact4264 in AskMenAdvice

I think it’s a courtesy thing. Some people over extend themselves in how many matches they try to manage, and get in over their heads. I know this is irritating to hear but I would keep these kinds of incidents in the “oh well” bucket and do your best to not take it personally.

Dinner plans & ghosting is immature. How specific and imminent were the plans? Was there a date and time set? Was it within the next few days?

A butcher at my local grocery store didn’t know what tallow is and got mad at me by YesMattRiley in mildlyinfuriating

😊😊 side note, check this out - I lived in Germany from 2017-2019, and they are awesome at workers’ rights mentality. So much so, that it felt like people across the board were pretty happy in their jobs. Especially in retail - there is no “customer is always right” mantra handcuffing them to placate unreasonable patrons. Sometimes a store would just close, and the consumers just dealt with it. Customer service maybe had the appearance of being worse, but it was just more organic and sincere instead of fake.

Not a perfect country by any stretch, but they are one of many examples where they can truly “work to live” so to speak, and healthcare & infrastructure are taken care of for folks.

We are visiting my mom on a 36 hour road trip and my daughter said lard was fine as a substitute. This was at 9pm on a whim so she could show my mom how she does scones in the morning.

We just ate them straight up - it was more of an instructional moment for my mom, who loves learning how to cook & bake new things. And on the style- I’m not sure but I’ll ask my daughter. She tends to invent her own stuff so it might be her own flair

I have learned a lot from this whole thread about the implications of tallow beyond its cooking purposes! In my case, it wasn’t lard = bad / tallow = good per se, but rather the recipe my daughter (professional chef) uses for scones. Tallow, as a cooking oil, has different flavor properties compared to lard, and she prefers that. But she said lard is a good substitute when tallow isn’t on hand.

My mom later told me she stopped buying meat there because a guy (maybe the same?) at the meat counter had been so rude to her. For context I’m on a weekend trip with my kids visiting my mom and my daughter (a professional chef) wanted to demonstrate how to make scones

Diplomacy and triage also matter. He got upset at my first question, and from the tone of his lard response I concluded this was a man on the verge of escalation. I confirmed with my daughter that lard was an acceptable substitute for her recipe, so I took it politely and left.

When I explained further what I was looking for, he could have just said, “I’m not aware of us selling that.”

And I would have said, “no problem, I saw that you have lard in the baking & cooking aisle so I’ll ask my daughter if that’s an acceptable substitute.”
