The Lord of the Rings films, do have their own flaws,

How dare you? Take it back!

It's important to salt the eggs like 15min before cooking.

The corn starch thing reminds me of Cantonese scrambled eggs. Eggs are cooked in a wok on high heat. The curds are repeatedly dragged up the side of the vessel forming layers of fully formed and custard textured curd. The end result is similar to a French omelette, without all the fuss and technique.

I use a non-stick pan tilted over the burner to replicate this. I pour the eggs in, wait for a curd to form, then pull it up to the side of the pan that's off the burner. Allowing the liquid to run back down. Do this repeatedly until the eggs are as firm as you like.

Plenty of young girls are attracted to older men

I can't help but notice that in May-December relationships, December usually comes with Christmas.

Have they tried budgeting or making coffee at home?

Countdown to Trump saying something deplorable. 10...9...8...

What scares me shitless is the idea that Trump is what the US is and what the US has earned. Who's ready for that conversation?

2016 was worse for America than 9/11.

Yea. Not only that, when you hear about "dead people voting", this is often the explanation.

I saw a post criticizing Harris (from the left) immediately after the announcement. Clicked on OP's account and saw that up until just then, they had been very concerned about Biden's age. Oh, and before that, unwilling to vote genocideJoe.

When left-handedness became acceptable the number of left handed people was far higher than experts had predicted.

I got a lot of badges when I was a scout. Didn't have to use my penis for any of them.

People leaving Twitter now is not very impressive. Less "seeing the light" and more "Trumpgret".

I'll remind you that the Debian project left Twitter over a year ago. So the EFF isn't as fast moving or comfortable with change like ... Debian.

I used to work with a guy that smoked and refused to wear a seat-belt. He carried a gun though, just in case his life was in danger.

Just another reason to wait long after release to buy a game. Denuvo charges games companies to administer the DRM infrastructure and most developers will strip it out of their games after it's been out for a while.

Buying games on launch is one of the most anti-customer experiences you can get. And that's saying something in our wonderful capitalist economy

There should be a warning label on any establishment or product that requires a smartphone to use.

I love Elon Bad posts, but I think it's worthwhile to examine why Elon bad in this case.

Like many reactionaries, Elon's business philosophy is pure tech-bro-libertarianism. And like all libertarians, he's stuck in the neoliberal mindset of less regulation (don't scrutinize) and more efficiency (let me be cheap), in order to create the safe space that industrialists need to extract, er create.

He's literally said things like (paraphrasing)

When I see a specification for three bolts I ask: why can't we do it with two?

His transparent reasoning is that if he's allowed to cut corners, he'll save money today and consequences can be dealt with when they arise.

He's following the software model of release a minimally viable product and patch it later. Only instead of user frustration at being beta testers, you fucking die maybe.

If you see anybody celebrating Reiner's death, let their employer know.

There is nothing more tech-bro libertarian than taking free public data, wrapping it in a slick package, and selling it.

I used to think that TV weather people were obsolete, but now I'm nostalgic for the public service that survived in the old capitalistic ad based broadcast TV era.

Maybe if they could wear a suit and say thank you once in a while.
