I used to enjoy puffed corn snacks called Monster Munch. Apparently they're British-produced and still available over there. An expat friend who goes to Gencon* every year likes to take a few packs of gherkin flavour Monster Munch to horrify his American friends.

*Maybe not this year... or ever again.

Nothing better than clean sheet night and a new spatula.

Fame seems like a burden. Given a choice, I'll take the money.

Can you think of a useful purpose it serves?

Was it in doubt? I heard about Legionnaire's disease spreading through air conditioning 40+ years ago.

Dick spiders.

More seriously: body parasites of any kind.

I dreamed a friend built a treehouse so big it had a mezzanine and a staircase. He invited me to tour it and didn't bother to mention he'd filled it with hungry zombies - because obviously he was going to do that, duh.

Setting aside the theme, I like the way you've highlighted the best result on each.

Is this why Pugsley was okay with Wednesday electrocuting him?

Joke's on you! Nothing's going to happen to me in my sealed hyperbaric chamber!

Man, I am so sleepy...

Are we accepting planets that orbit other planets? Because I've always thought Titan was neat. Nasa has a recording of the wind from a probe descender stage.

Tell 'em guns are loud and obvious, so you're getting a length of piano wire and two wooden pegs.

 

Especially if the sinners still need their punishment?

 

Either all at once, or over a lifetime?

 

My position is that it's a snack and husband tax must be paid. My wife is arguing that it's a meal or occupies some third food space and it's entirely hers. Who's right, court of Lemmy?

 

To explain what I mean, I think you can level up a cooking style. For example, pasta. At level 1, you're boiling dried pasta and adding sauce out of a jar. At level 1, you add your own spices. Level 3, switch to fresh pasta. Level 4, make your own sauce. And finally at level 5, make the pasta from scratch.

So with BBQ, I guess level 1 would be cooking the meat so it's neither burnt nor underdone. Maybe level 2 is mixing different meats/cuts that have different heat/time requirements and cooking well. Further levels = ?

 

Picture this: you're working in a large open-plan office and you need to send a message to Steve at the other end of the room. You pull out your messenger handgun, dictate your message (because you paid for the voice recognition feature) and let it engrave your words on a bullet. Then you simply fire it at the target mounted above Steve's cube!

Fast, attention-getting and simple. It's the perfect system.

 

I'm sharing this because any reduction in unnecessary packaging waste is good for the planet - and because I think laser-etching avocados is funny. 🙂

 

I followed a Jaime Oliver recipe for curry, which started with grating onion, ginger and garlic. I liked the curry, but grating an onion is a miserable job. He said that technique unlocked the onion's 'sweetness'. How much difference do you think I'd notice if I used a food processor?

I noticed that one of the monitors in the loom control room had "SKIN?" written on it in the dust that covered it. It seemed pretty mysterious and I was sure it was a detail that was going to be important, but it never came up as far as I noticed. Any theories as to what it's about?
