omg i could buy a house with “what the sellers believe to be an old abandoned well” in a concrete encasement in the crawl space

Imagine the reddit post and the followup 3 months later when i crack it open and unleash eldritch horrors on my self and loved ones

Today’s vegan product of my vegan labor, it’s lemon herb orzo, roasted carrots with a red wine vinaigrette, and eggplant/portabello souvlaki

actually it very frequently matters how thin and small computers are, just not personal computers

i really don’t understand the comments acting like it AWOOGAfied her, like she says it added “a hint of a bra” but it just looks like an undershirt?? i literally could not tell which image was supposedly the awoogafied AI version without reading the twitter thread. Literally the original is “sexier,” the AI deawoogafied her

showed this to my gf and she said the same thing, she thought the color image was the AI one “made sexier”

usually if we’re doing fried chicken we just do a plain flour dredge with seasoned salt etc, honestly I wouldn’t want to go harder and do an egg wash because they will eat the absolute fuck out of it anyway. Like I swear to god you put flour on chicken and fry it and people act like it’s fucking crack

Using the fish containers might be a good idea in the future, like I generally only have to dredge fried chicken or chicken for marsala or chicken piccata and none of the other containers are really a good size, like too big. I usually don’t like to dredge like that though and do it the slow stupid manual way (grab a big handful of meat and manually toss it in flour) because even with shrinkwrap and a lid on a lexan I’ve gotten flour and shit all over before (and I’m not trying to get salmonella all over the kitchen), but I think the fish container lids seal more tightly

I’d have to mention my Chinese grandfather, who passed away before I was born. There’s not much I know about him, but one thing I do know is that he apparently left China when the communists won the civil war. That’s not exactly something to brag about on a Chinese citizenship application.

you could brag about how you’ve learned from his mistake

Turns out his genetic enhancements were primarily related to his kidneys being really good at not producing kidney stones.

want

I haven’t had a kidney stone yet but… it’s scary

I wanna see it but I ain’t gonna go to a theater or pay to stream shit

I told one of the older cooks I work with that I work really, really hard to do whatever I can to prep ahead for the next day and avoid needing him/the chef/sous chef to help out, and he said he knows and they notice that. So that’s kind of reassuring since I constantly feel like I’m not pulling my own weight.

I kinda feel worse again in the other direction though because the other other cook, this real young kid, the other guy basically didn’t help him at all before he left today, and it’s like, idk, I guess he’s better at all this shit than me if he doesn’t need any help. It was a pain in the ass menu too, like over a hundred pounds of wings. I literally don’t know how this kid has the time to get shit done on his own, especially when I seem him do stuff like, take the time to trim fat off of chicken thighs before cutting them.

It ended up being okay it was like 386 people but it didn’t feel that bad. Im just fuckin tired

the Americans aren’t awake

Im right here

I hate the fucking labor situation in food service, and it isn’t even as bad as if I were working in a restaurant. But it really fucking sucks how nobody can ever call out or have a day off without someone else having to work like 10-12 ffucking hours or work 6 days in a fucking week

I had to do dinner last night, but the sous chef is gone this weekend and there’s some fucking bullshit open house bullshit so I’m here at 8am getting ready to feed 400 people after getting 4 hours of sleep on what’s supposed to be my fucking day off

yeah but in this case it’s just a pipe and a turbine it’s gotta make move

And you’d still need to make a saltwater lake somewhere uphill.

water tanks tho

you can use saltwater for it though, doesn’t need to be fresh water or treated in any way, just a physical medium to make turbine go brrr

A fully closed bazinga loop that produces nothing, not even useless stuff.

yeah, that’s the american economy

how do I know I’m a MAN? duh, I do minor household tasks like change air filters and act like I’m god’s gift to chores

thank jesus all the dryers were free (the person using a washer was the one who left their clothes for over an hour, not the person using the dryers)

I hate living in an apartment, in addition to being annoyed at these people just sitting on the steps like it’s totally fine to just block a staircase, I can’t even do laundry without anxiety. There’s 1 dryer that’s free. There’s 1 washer about to be finished. There’s 2 dryers about to be finished. But if whoever is using it doesn’t get their shit on time, I either get to wait ??? long when i’m already doing laundry at 10pm, or I can take their shit out after waiting a reasonable amount of time and hope it doesn’t lead to some fucked up stupid confrontation with an asshole. People have left their shit for literally hours before and I don’t have that kind of time to fuck around

Cool my new neighbors are a family of Stoop Kids who think they own the staircase because they’re closest. There is some motherfucker literally ALWAYS there, sitting on the fucking stairs, smoking

if i gotta say “excuse me” as i push past you 5 times a day that’s very quickly going to turn into “get the fuck out of the way”

had a good date with a cool person last night

I told you dawg, I fuckin told you dawgggggg
