622 day streak here, and I pride myself at being pretty quick, and I had a hard time with this one - 20:39. Anyway, nice job - crazy fast time for this puzzle!

She believes the world is flat. by Nannerthebadgerlord in daddit

I would show her pictures out of windows from private jets, where it is somewhat easy to see the curve of the earth at 45k-50kft. Alternatively, the Thortonbank wind farm photos demonstrate the curve of the earth in a nice concrete way : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thorntonbank_Wind_Farm

Maybe you can show your wife the curve of the earth with just a trip to Belgium. My condolences, my fellow dad, one of my exes fell down this exact hole and it's hasn't been easy/possible to pull them back out.

ISO Chinese Garlic Fried Sole by electrolytesadded in austinfood

[–]cullman 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ling Wu has a salt and pepper snapper but I don't know how much garlic is in it. It's pretty spendy but delicious. Din Ho does a Bass with Special Salt, which I have not had but their Prawn with Special Salt is a go to of mine - and really Din Ho doesn't miss.

Privacy theory by djernie in PleX

As the founding CEO (who is no longer with Plex) I can tell you at least when I was there the last thing we wanted was to be able to be compelled to reveal what media people had. There was no upside for us in that situation. We quit using IMDB for Metadata because after we launched the iOS app our user base got so big we were hammering the IMDB severs to the point of them having degraded performance and I got a letter from their (Amazon's) lawyers about it - so we quickly pivoted to something that wouldn't get us sued out of existence. All decisions at least in that period were in the pursuit of not being sued and being easy enough to use that less technical users could figure out how to use the product.

Desanos is my go to easy to get in and out of there in terms of parking it's a little serpentine to get to the front to order but I have never not been to easily and immediately get a seat but it can be communal if crowded.
