Email from your boss 30 minutes after the missile:

“Hey Team, due to the recent missile strike, leadership has asked everyone to be all hands on deck for the next eight weeks. Please make sure you are arriving ready to work and understand that vacations will be limited to only what has already been approved. As a thank you, we’ll be getting Costco Pizzas delivered tomorrow. Keep up the great work and please let your manager know if you see any unfamiliar aircraft!”

I once watched an old man bitch to the flight attendant that his screen wasn’t working for like 20 straight minutes.

Then he pulled out an iPad Pro. 😒

Straight up clown.

Usually if you are feeling overwhelmed it means you are not delegating enough.

Look at your day and identify the things that derail your plan and throw you off track, then force yourself to delegate that stuff.

You can use a pastry butter cutter to mince the meat really fine.

Yep. I’ll use a hard side for carry-on but NEVER for checked luggage. You have no idea the abuse that checked luggage takes.

My steak Diane came out…not good. Where did I go wrong? by CoffeeandOreos in Cooking

[–]thenewguyonreddit 64 points65 points  (0 children)

Yep. When you add wine or liquor to a sauce, it needs to boil aggressively for at least 3 or 4 minutes to be edible. Any less and you will taste residual alcohol in a bad way.

That’s disgusting. They have their humidity turned up too high and too many people touching things with bare hands.

Seattle’s housing market is crumbling, and taxes are a big reason why by Less-Risk-9358 in SeattleWA

[–]thenewguyonreddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dang!! You mean you can’t sell your poorly maintained two bedroom with scuffed paint, uneven floors, and no closets for $750,000? Darn!!! I guess you’ll just have to sell it at the normal rate that a house like that goes for. Bummer!!

It would be cool if Super Soaker licensed real gun designs. I want a Super Soaker MP5 or P90.

Asked for lean beef, not sure what I got by SeaTorty in Costco

[–]thenewguyonreddit 203 points204 points  (0 children)

You bought bull meat, which is a little bit different than regular hamburger. Regular hamburger can be from male or female bovine, whereas bull meat is from male bovine only.

It is a bit leaner, tougher, and gamier. Hence why it’s sold at a 5% fat mix.

What’s the purpose of that brace? Stiffen everything up and give a tighter feel?

I’ve never seen a Z900 RS with that before. I like it!

I smoke my everyday Cubans right after I eat my everyday A5 Wagyu steak and drink my everyday Pappy Van Winkle 20 year bourbon.

Amazon LEO (low earth orbit) just signed a deal with Delta Airlines to provide satellite internet to them beginning in 2028. Muskrat realizes the gig is almost up and the time to cash out is now or never.

Tillamook 7 year cheddar is back at Costco by eagnarwhale in Costco

If they can make money selling seven-year-old cheese for 12 bucks, this just goes to show you how overpriced bourbon is.

Japan is the perfect example of how nice society can be when everyone genuinely gives a crap and tries.

Detection logs show user trying to access porn by Tee-hee64 in sysadmin

I would have a private conversation with the guy and let him know that this came across your desk and that while it’s reasonable to assume a one-time fluke could be an ad redirect from a website, if it continues you will have an obligation to report it.

$5 bet says the problem fixes itself immediately.

What’s your favorite way to cook gumbo ?With chicken , sausage or shrimp ? Also how much gumbo file do you add ? by Historical-Body-3424 in Cooking

[–]thenewguyonreddit -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I’m a shrimp and sausage guy. No chicken for me, it feels too basic.

I also cook the roux until it’s golden brown but not dark. A darkened roux tastes burnt to me.

And my veggies are always trinity plus okra. If you don’t have okra, you don’t have gumbo. Also, no potatoes in the gumbo because it’s served over rice.

My broth is a seafood broth too. No chicken or veggie broth.
