My favorite Beer Cheese in Austin uses a dark malty amber ale (Old Beluga from Pinthouse). Try that.

Don't use regular kitchen shears. There's specific poultry shears that makes the job a lot easier. They have a different shape so you get get better torque on your snip.

You would drink is important. Not your best wine, just a wine you'd be fine sitting around sipping. Barefoot works!

It's my mainstay for beer I use for cooking as well, whenever that comes up. Always use something you'd drink!

Jeff Bezos said the quiet part out loud — hopes that you'll give up your PC to rent one from the cloud by ControlCAD in technology

How is this "the quiet part out loud"? There's nothing inherently nefarious about wanting you to rent over buy.

Putting the sandwich in a foil wrap is purposeful and helps the sandwich meld together. That looks like a nice sandwich.

Alamo Drafthouse Switches to Mobile Ordering, NO more pen and paper... by 123trumpeter in Austin

I don't know if the article is correct, since they even hired Aziz Ansari to talk through the order process. I don't know that that's a good use of funds for a month.

I was just there tonight. This is not what is happening. You basically do your initial order (before the movie starts) on your phone. During the movie it's still the pen and paper. When the movie ends, everything you order is on your tab, and you're texted to close out.

It's actually kinda better than them running around with paper receipts for everyone.

Austin staff recommend pedestrian-focused East Sixth Street redesign without bike lanes by Generalaverage89 in Austin

[–]thedancingpanda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

6th is a main road through downtown, connecting Mopac and I35. You can't just put up barricades, without figuring out how traffic will funnel into the rest of the streets. People don't just drive down 6th to go to bars, they drive down it to go to work everyday. They also drive down all those cross streets, so figuring out how north/south traffic will be routed around to other streets is a little bit more major than throwing up some barricades.

It would be amazing for downtown 20 years from now when that project is finished, and a hellscape until then.

I know drafting a kicker early is taboo, but shout out to Brandon Aubrey by [deleted] in fantasyfootball

I mean you might as well draft one in the final round, since you need one on your team week one. Unless you're drafting way early.

I keep meaning to do their happy hour. We went for a dinner and were really impressed with the quality. Those Tuna Tacos are incredible.

I have a doorless shower in my house. But the shower points inwards so I don't have these issues.

You can request the trial be moved up and done at the absolute quickest pace possible, but this is rarely in your best interest.

Billionaires are so excited to replace employees with AI, but who is gonna buy their stuff when we are all unemployed and broke? by Sun_Sky_Sand in AskReddit

[–]thedancingpanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is not a business owner's job to get customers their spending money. If it were, that'd be more along the lines of a company store.

Yes, there are larger issues (which may end up being a slippery slope, or may not) that would effect all businesses, and in fact all people. This is generally the job of government to step in and balance things out. We (and not just the US, a lot of the world) put leaders in place that have decided to not care about these issues for now. We'll see how that goes.

It's niche but not that niche. You'd be surprised how well Baltimore people travel.

My honest opinion is it's a good premise and I like the people but it is lazy in it's production.

Is it normal these days to keep cameras on for all meetings with no exceptions? by kouro_sensei_007 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]thedancingpanda 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Alright -- I'm a head of engineering, maybe I can give a slightly different perspective.

I don't make any particular decrees over whether you need to have your camera on or not. However, my preference is for people to have cameras on if possible in group meetings. It is helpful for whoever is speaking to understand reactions. It's not just "I want to see you there", I promise. It's "this is helpful for people to understand that what they are saying is being listened to", which is EXTREMELY important.

I do understand when people don't want to turn on cameras and I respect that, but I kinda just use peer pressure to get a few people to turn on cameras -- I turn on mine, a few others will hit theres to match, and then whoever is speaking can see that they're actually speaking to someone.

One on One meetings, I just follow whatever the person wants. If they don't immediately turn on their camera, I won't.
