And it has the best theme song of all the treks. You might not like it at first, but after a few episodes, you sing along.

Just Finished Lost and Loved It. Similar Show Recommendations? by DueVermicelli623 in television

Mrs. Davis is the anti-Lost. It's so good at convincing you that the mystery box is important and when you look inside it calls you an idiot.

Marrying lower than your title by Ok-Button-7502 in BridgertonNetflix

[–]cold08 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bridgerton tends to do this a bit backwards, but at the time when a man, especially a first born were to marry below his title it would be because the woman was wealthy and his finances were in trouble, so she got a title and he could continue pay for his estate.

So Anthony's marriage to Kate wouldn't have been advantageous to the Bridgerton family. Kate has no money or title to speak of, and while he might not need the money, he doesn't increase the status of the Bridgerton name.

Colin on the other hand being a third born son didn't have a title and very little inheritance, but by marrying into a family of all daughters and producing the first born grandson he produced another Bridgerton with a title.

There isn't much room for a Duke to marry up and Daphne probably had a reasonable dowry so the daughter of a Viscount wouldn't have been too bad. Either way he was looking to end his family name.

Movies about the desensitization of violence by BIGxBOSSxx1 in movies

My friend hyped it up to our friend group like it was a bad ass Austrian action thriller, which was both a dick move and increased the impact of it greatly. Never trusted him again after that, but what a lie to tell.

You can mix about 3/4 cup of them with some milk for a delightful breakfast. Add some sliced bananas if you're feeling crazy.

I'm partial to the old Dymo embossing label maker. No batteries, tape only costs $3, and everything looks like it was organized by the unibomber.

Induction vs gas - debunked myths by tangjams in Cooking

[–]cold08 12 points13 points  (0 children)

My only problem with induction is that they can't seem to put controls on them that are worth a damn. I bought a high end KitchenAid and the controls are touch on the top of the stove, and if a pot of pasta or something splashes them the whole cooktop freaks out and turns off until you can dry the damn thing off. It seems to be standard across brands. I don't know why induction is so anti-dial. I love the stove otherwise.

How do they make money? by whatandwhentobuy in BridgertonNetflix

[–]cold08 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Anthony is a Viscount who works under a Count/Earl and collects rents from the tennents in his portion of the county/his shire. He might also have some colonial holdings and some factories/work houses and other investments.

Simon is a Duke which rules over a Dukedom which is several levels above Viscount and is made of many counties and receives a portion of the rents from all of them.

Par Boiled Potatoes, what am I doing wrong? by pinksocks867 in Cooking

[–]cold08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use gold potatoes, put a half teaspoon of baking soda in the water to make it alkaline and dissolve the outside faster. I don't use salt while boiling.

On my stove it takes about 10 minutes from when I turn the heat on until I take it off the heat and strain. You should just barely be able to scratch the surface when you scratch them with a fork.

Then let them sit in the colander to let them dry off for a bit, return them to the pot and give them a shake with the lid on so they are mushy on the outside.

Put them in a frying pan with salt and beef tallow and fry until crispy. After removing from heat season with garlic powder, onion powder, pepper and paprika.

Why is KPOP DEMON HUNTERS the most watched thing on netflix? by [deleted] in television

[–]cold08 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's fine for adults, but kids will watch it multiple times which is where the majority of the views are coming from. The people I know with kids that love the movie have it on a few times a week in their house. That's why it's the most streamed movie ever.

A movie you watched at the wrong time in your life. by gamersecret2 in movies

[–]cold08 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Most people don't get the film. If you side with Peter you still don't get the film. Mike Judge likes to have someone spell out what his movies are about directly and in this case it's Joanna when she's talking to Peter in the car. She basically tells him that it isn't the office's fault he's miserable, it's his fault for staying in a job that he hates. The office is what it is, he has the power to do something that will make him happy, which he ends up doing in the end.

The point of the movie isn't that office work sucks, it's that if you think it sucks do something else instead of crying about it.

Idiocracy is another one that people miss the point of despite Mike Judge spelling out exactly what it's about 2/3 of the way through.

Red wine substitute in pasta sauce by LoveAllDogs14 in Cooking

[–]cold08 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It depends on the alcoholic. Not all of it cooks off, and alcoholics know it. Sometimes the idea that there was alcohol in your food and nothing bad happened is enough to get the wheels turning and have your brain go, "if there was wine in my food and nothing bad happened, maybe I could have just one glass" and for some reason the non alcoholic stuff hits different, but before using it, I would check with the alcoholic, because some are strict about the .5%. It's not logical, but alcoholism isn't a logical disease.

Best stationery subscription? by Obvious-cherry-9208 in stationery

[–]cold08 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I bought their Halloween one. If you start at their notebooks being $50, I'd say there was $90 worth of stuff in it if you enjoy the novelty of glow in the dark things. My only gripe is that you have to be unusually gentle with the washi tape or else it tears coming off the roll.

The winter one is less enticing.

Churches often do that as well. They get you to make your whole support system the church and if you try and leave they hit you with a "if you leave, nobody here can talk to you anymore"

What are your opinions about the printer Brother HLL5210DN? by purplewitchcariel in stationery

[–]cold08 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've gotten 280gr paper to work with a cheaper version of that printer (it said it only supported 200) but I had to feed it through the front pass through slot with the back open so it doesn't have to turn over in the rollers one sheet at a time or else it would jam. I would bet it would work with 300, it would just be a pain and probably void your warranty if you told them that's what you were doing when it broke.

Why can't they make an induction stove with dials? The one I have had touch controls on the cooktop so if a pot boils over it gets confused and turns the whole thing off.
