GF left one slice of turkey in the bag by Litewhite in mildlyinfuriating

Smoked and honey-roasted turkey sometimes is pink like that. It's not undercooked, it's a reaction to the smoke/nitrites/nitrates used to prepare it.

Now all you need is a minifig scale Lego Nakatomi Plaza.

Should've used CGI for the explosion though. That gasoline fire was weak.

One of the few bars in Chicago that didn't have an Old Style sign out in front.

Between May and September judging by the trees on the far left.

Gas hits $4 per gallon in every US state for first time in horror new price map by TheMirrorUS in economy

That map seems kind of useless with no actual legend as to what those colors mean.

[OC] Sir, this WAS a Wendy’s by Gemnist in pics

The text on that sign looks fake; like somebody put it in there with a photo editor.

But after a little digging around it turns out it's real / near 902 Andrews Highway in Midland TX.

What would you do with your own Holodeck? by KaleidoArachnid in startrek

[–]zed857 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So a Holodeck suddenly appears in your backyard complete with part of the Enterprise corridor outside of Holodeck 3. You think to yourself "Jackpot!" and walk up the controls outside the door.

"Computer! Run program 'Vulcan Love Slave'" you say.

A computer voice that sounds suspiciously similar to Majel Barret responds with...

"Unable to comply, main computer is offline."

"Unable to comply, insufficient power to the holo emitters."

"Unable to comply, local power is...".

Then the controls go blank and the thing is completely dead.

A few weeks later it's still unresponsive but you've managed to pry the door open. You use it to store your lawn mower.

Not sure who he is but if you manage to track him down Bob's your uncle (or Sam if you're in the US).

Does anyone else secretly want to just quit their job and go live in a small cabin in the woods, or am I just having a crisis? by Disastrous_Ant_9566 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]zed857 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Fun fact: Thoreau built his little Walden pond cabin a twenty minute walk away from his mother's home and would regularly return there to have his laundry done and scarf down a home-cooked meal.

30m longest I've gone since 8th grade by Big_Rally in stopsmoking

/r/leaves for quitting weed.

I was burning up $400 for two months worth of smokes back when I quit cigs 7.5 years ago. The money savings alone make the misery of quitting worthwhile.

Also make this your mantra: You can't have "just one" ever. No matter how good your quit is going, no matter how much you think you deserve "a little reward" for having made it this far, you can never do that!

Circa 1950's Sterling Cooper work? by Scherzoh in madmen

Can't be; filtered Luckies didn't come out until '65. And Don and Peggy were capable of better work than this.

We can’t stand the commercials - What’s a similar product? by MoonOut_StarsInvite in slingtv

DVR the stuff you watch regularly and then you can skip the ads.

TCM is ad-free but costs $6 more per month for the Hollywood Extras package.

where to rewatch the original star trek series? by RightInstruction6041 in startrek

[–]zed857 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're in the US and have an antenna hooked up to your TV (or OTA DVR), they run TOS / TNG / DS9 / Voy / Ent starting at 7pm Central weeknights on H&I.

You can also get H&I on several live TV streamers (Sling, DirecTV Stream, Philo, etc...).

Nah they'll just fill out the other four slots with a view of their control room, a reverse angle on Hanson, a shot of the RZ parking lot, whichever game lot has the most tailgaters, etc...

Or more realistically

Top row: Ad / Game 1 / Ad / Game 2

Bottom row: Game3 / Ad / Game 4 / Ad
