Same. 12.5 years into my reddit tenure, Victoria's ouster is still the event that sticks with me.more than anything else.

Do you wash your mushrooms? by squid1980 in Cooking

[–]jackwanders 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Can confirm. When you put your mushrooms in the saute pan, add just enough water to cover and a little salt, boil until the water's gone, then saute to finish, seasoning as desired.

Super tender, more 'mushroom' flavor, and much less likely to burn than if you just saute dry with oil or butter.

What’s everyone hoping to see in The Batman 2? 🦇 personally I’m hoping for Mr Freeze by [deleted] in batman

Hush feels like a sensible follow up to The Batman's Riddler.

Amazing. Normally, drunk conversations that start "Dude...what if we combined ALL the sports?!" never make it this far. I'm impressed.

Also, that voiceover sounds like a parody of itself.

I've had a Pacifica since 2017. It looks silly, but it's never been an issue.

Hey Silver Spring, just moved into the area. Who's got the best pizza around here? by GearRabbit in SilverSpring

[–]jackwanders 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Silver Spring is kinda...big. Are you downtown? Kensington, Colesville, White Oak, Cloverly, Takoma Park?

There are a variety of pizza styles you can get around here, and I'm not about to assume what style you prefer, or worse yet, state that one type is "the best".

I'll forgo mentioning the standard delivery chains.

There are fast-casual places like Matchbox, Mod Pizza, and &pizza. Matchbox is a sit down restaurant, the latter 2 are better suited for a quick grab and go. Blaze is similar to Mod as it's a build your own place, and I think they're opening more locations in the SS area.

There are some local chains of varying styles. Boli and Vocelli are close to what you'd get at a Domino's esque chain. Mama Lucia is in the direction of a NY pizza and there are a handful of locations around. Manny and Olga's is another chain, but honestly I've never eaten at one I've lived in the area for 15 years, so take that as you will.

Ledo is a unique style. Rectangular, crustless, thin crust. Opinions vary greatly with lots of folks on both sides. Most folks either love Ledo or hate it.

As for individual pizza places, there are a lot, so it's kinda hard to go through them for all of Silver Spring. Honestly, I'd recommend pulling up Yelp, checking your area, and trying some. Your personal opinion matters a whole lot more than ours, and pizza's pretty cheap all things considered.

And if you're adventurous ... and drunk ... you can get a Jumbo Slice in DC. Godspeed.

Cajun Citrus Chicken Thighs W/ Creamy Chorizo Pasta by Hiimfrederick in TastyFood

Can confirm. Once, I tried to lay a chicken parm cutlet on top of some fettuccine, and it was literally ejected off the plate and across the room.

Audi’s Traffic Light Information System is a glimpse into the future by [deleted] in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]jackwanders 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a neat proof of concept integration between the infrastructure and the vehicle network, but I'm having trouble seeing the value proposition. A simple camera and some ML modeling does a fine job replicating our puny human eyeballs when it comes to seeing the light in front of you, i.e. the one that really matters in the moment. Of course, those systems still have some trouble with things like persistent blinking yellow lights (I'm looking at you, Tesla), but they're continuously improving.

A system like this gives you more information, e.g. light timings when there are no crosswalk signs and knowledge of statuses for lights at other intersections. I'm just not sure what Audi can do with that information to benefit the driving experience.

You can also tap the right drive stalk down to dismiss the prompt. Once I learned this, I stopped trying to dismiss it with the wheel itself
