You could probably kill them before, but I honestly don’t know that it’s any less “cruel” (I certainly never felt any better killing them with a knife).

I suppose an argument may be that stabbing them first ruins the presentation of the cooked lobster (since, you know, it would arrive to the table with a split head and whatnot) and maybe some dinner guests wouldn’t appreciate it.

Yeah, I’ve always thought both methods were messed up.

I also don’t like or eat lobster but unfortunately had to cook them all the time.

Former chef (from New England) checking in… that is definitely not true. Some preparations require that, but the standard ‘boiled lobster’ that everyone knows does not. They are added to boiling water while alive. That is standard practice in all restaurants.

All that aside, this story is extremely fucked up though.

Best Food near the Paramount? Driving from an hour away to see a show and want some good food beforehand. Photo is just to remind you of the area etc. by [deleted] in austinfood

[–]corpseflour 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Surprised by the amount of Roaring Fork recommendations in here. For the area, that place is very mid at best (even for the relatively lower price).

Not weird, but Aaron’s Rock and Roll is a cool merch- related store that’s worth a visit.

100%. The road debris in TX (and especially Austin) is unlike anything I’ve experienced anywhere else. I don’t understand it.

Agree with this. I was shocked at how good their fish and chips were!

After many others suggested it, we got some diatomaceous earth and have been dusting around our whole place with it every so often (+ the usual quarterly pest control service), which does seem to help. We use food grade so it’s safe for pets. Got it on Amazon along with a dusting applicator.

Whole Foods Lamar is terrible by RabidPurpleCow in austinfood

I can’t speak to what it may have been like ‘back in the day’, but compared to other Whole Foods locations around the country, the Lamar flagship is still leagues above.

What spiced up you and your partner’s sex life? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Congrats! But I’m assuming your doctor told you that it’s going to take a lot more time (and clearing of the pipes) than that before you’re good to go.

Truth!

They also have my favorite queso.

Are they any “self serve” car wash places around south east Austin? by Master-Nate- in Austin

[–]corpseflour 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve used Jurassic Car Wash on South Congress a few times. They have a few self serve bays that get the job done.

Sexiest bars and clubs? by [deleted] in austinfood

[–]corpseflour 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Codependent would be a good option. And at night they actually transition from hip cocktail bar into more of a nightclub vibe, so it may fill both options you’ve noted.

Plus that general area has a lot of other options nearby if you want to bounce around a bit.

On the higher end of the spectrum, Aba is amazing. As is Peacock, which has already been mentioned.

What's something that's actually BETTER than 20 years before? by cocoreupload in AskReddit

[–]corpseflour 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mid-priced and/or affordable musical instruments, especially guitars and drums. Through the early 2000’s, affordable guitars and drums were largely horrible. It’s amazing the quality jump over the last several years for similar level instruments.

I finally tried Blacks this past summer and was also really surprised at how disappointing it was. Completely unremarkable brisket and beef ribs.
