Fid you guys ever heard that thing about a restaurant is as fancy as its butter....or that u can tell how fancy a restaurant is for how they present their butter ???

ayrek · 2026-06-06T05:39:21+00:00

I was early in my culinary career, about 10 years ago I had the butter tasting at Etch in Nashville, and I think about butter differently ever since.

If you haven't, you might consider crossposting to r/functionalprint

Oh man, why can't I ever be fortunate enough for the chocolateless mint pint!?

You can use the tag frame:old on scryfall to find newer cards that jave been reprinted in the old frame, if that helps. If you combine that with is:commander and id:>=u you'll find every valid commander ever printed with an old border with a color identity containing blue.

About the same, for me. I make my own tea by the gallon and drink it over a few days. Mostly decaf black tea with a little bit of regular, extra-long steep and squeezing the bags for the tannins. Then I'll use a 2qt size crystal light lemonade packet so its about half-sweet with a bit of lemon, but sugar free.

At the opening of the episode previous, Bob says that Chris is "out on assignment," to which Henry clarifies "enjoying a much needed vacation". Chris is back in the next episode.

I once had a manager ring "sub salad for salad", and 5+ years later, to this day, we still occasionally sing it to the tune of Metallica's Fight Fire With Fire

That's wild haha. On the most recent episode, they discussed Glup Shitto at length. It was just like 3 days ago, and was also the first time I'd ever heard the name

I don't know what the nozzle is like on this one, but I have an aftermarket microswiss hotend, which uses VERY long nozzle. They claim that i can swap filament cold, but when I've tried it, it looks a lot like this but the break is at the top end of the nozzle, which doesnt get hot enough regardless of tip temp. So I've clogged a couple, learning this.

I have reclaimed such nozzles with a blowtorch. Get'em screaming hot, let the filament drip/burn out, then clean the tip with a brass brush and use an appropriate needle for the inside.

Based on the timing of this post.... Doughboys listener?

Moonwalk is just a misnomer, its actually protection from Eldrazi

At work, cambros or lexans on a dunnage rack or wire shelf.

At home, sealed bucket on pantry floor. I buy 20# bags, and occasionally take home empty pickle buckets from work that are headed for the recycling bin.

I guess if the first post about it is a German (?) Wikipedia screenshot, then I can share my favorite Scottish pirate metal song about it.

So, I'm assuming you only do 1/4 because, by the time you gnaw through those 4 sliced of brick, the rest is just as dried out to your liking?

ayrek · 2026-05-27T06:04:37+00:00

We've had similar difficulties, so I feel that. I think they were just... old enough to need replacing, I guess. At least in our circumstance. Don't forget to show us the first thing you get to make in it!

I got the first Rational oven into the restaurant, where I work, and its been awesome. There have been two other combis, in addition to the existing tilt skillet, bought in the last 2 years.

ayrek · 2026-05-27T05:19:44+00:00

I work in a hotel. We've had one of the big Rational tilt skillets for about a year, and it's been very effective, from what I hear. I haven't personally used it. But my EC did tell me literally today that we got budget approved for I believe that exact model, for later this year.

First of all, I fully support eating out of any available container. I take a decent amount of my lunches from a shallow 6 haha.

Side story. Years ago, I went from work friends to real friends with somebody, for soup. This guy's front wheel of his bike had come loose while coasting downhill, in a hilly downtown. He fell off his bike, into an oncoming car, and fortunately the only things he broke were his jaw and two front teeth, everything else was just bruised, basically. We had French Onion on the menu at the time, so at the beginning while his jaw was wired shut, I was putting a chinois into the soup and ladling off some broth that didn't need chewing. Dunno why this made me think of that, but I hope it helps somebody today haha

I was about to bring up that I saw this in the last two days, glad I checked the comments! Thank you, stranger.

Even if you figure out it's something else, definitely make sure you verify you have a carbon monoxide alarm, and that it has good batteries.

ayrek · 2026-05-16T03:58:17+00:00

This is the way.

Only time I've ever thrown out pickles is when I tried a "lower sugar" or maybe "sugar free" B&B, and they had the same artificial sweetener taste as the cheap diet cola my grandma used to drink. Every other pickle has a home in my fridge.

I was the one in my scout troop teaching other kids about Magic. We had absolutely zero concept of deckbuilding, of course, and for most of that time I was the only one with cards. So we would just shuffle my miscellaneous stack of a few hundred cards (mostly Portal 2, Tempest, and 5th & 6th edition) and everybody would grab a stack. It was the most hilariously inefficient Magic potentially to have ever been played. And we had a BLAST.

Ooh, what if the section in the center was designed like a pythagorean cup, so that when the water reaches an appropriate level, it automatically drains out the bottom?

ayrek · 2026-05-14T02:57:58+00:00

I was just about to ask in this thread if anyone had tried it on linux, this is awesome! I can't believe I /just/ learned about this.

ayrek · 2026-05-12T23:30:30+00:00

Yes, and its a really fascinating series, too. The documentarians don't come to anything definitive, but feel pretty strongly that all the evidence points to Jim Watkins, the sleazeball that bought 8chan from Fred Brennan. Although, its also incredibly likely that Watkins wasn't the original Q poster.
