I, on the other hand, enjoy all-natural pickled vegetables, which are just regular vegetables immersed in water, sodium chloride, acetic acid & trace flavors — chemicals which act as preservatives for the vegetables sea salt and vinegar.
I decided when I saw this that if a boss ever tries to hand me this I will hand it back and say “I am going to quit before I administer this to you rectally. Bye.” and walk out.
Between 2012 and 2016, the “Starlight tours” section of the Saskatoon Police Service’s English Wikipedia article was deleted several times. An internal investigation revealed that two of the edits originated from a computer within the police service

if there are speed limits i usually am forced to spend more time dicking around looking for signs or cops or checking the speedometer, instead of focusing on the road and how safe my current speed actually feels
This can be solved quite easily by introducing head-up-displays in cars showing the speed in front of the driver. HUDs were introduced years ago in some airliners allowing the pilots to maintain situational awareness while having quick access to the critical information about the aircraft. And introducing safety standards from commercial aviation is almost always a good step.
I think traffic calming is really interesting for this reason, building roads to make you feel most comfortable at the correct speed. The road design here is usually good, but when driving I feel really anxious on roads that have a design not matching the speed limit too.
100% agreed. If I don’t set cruise control, I usually speed on my commute due to me just focusing on the grip of my car, distance to/from other cars, and perceived speed. It’s just hard to gauge speed without checking often on my speedometer, which isn’t as safe. Even just trying to follow at a constant distance in the right lane is difficult because the semi trucks usually end up having wide speed differences at random times, meaning 60mph-80mph depending on the hill usually.
If your mental capacity is reached by checking your surroundings while all the traffic is going roughly the same speed as you, then no way youre capable of handling “no speed limit” where everyone is driving to their liking.
It’s not just you who’d be suddenly free to do whatever they want, but everyone else too.
Claiming “I know better what’s best for me” is the best sign of someone who absolutely doesn’t.
I think you’re misunderstanding their message. To me it reads that places where there’s low speed limits, are also places where you need to pay a lot of attention on the street and surroundings and wouldn’t want to drive faster anyways
Relative to the mantle it stopped spinning! Like when the earth spins around itself in 24 hours it’s the mantle spinning. Now the core takes 24 hours to spin around itself, while it used to take like 23:50.
It’s like if you’re in a car on the highway and you’re going 80 and someone next to you is going 82 and then suddenly 80 and you assume that they are parking.
Ich war bei ich_iel, es ist ein schöner Ort. Aber wenn Sie Störe wollen, echte Störe, kommen Sie auf Turtle Island (nordamerikanischer Kontinent) vorbei. Wir haben sogar Bier. :-D
For anyone wondering, salmon’s pronounciation comes from the French word . The French word comes from the Latin word salmo. When smarty pants scholars decided on how words would be spelled in the middle ages, they thought salmon should have an L in it since the Latin word does (screw with all those dumb people who don’t know Latin!)
Yeah it turns out a whole bunch of English words are spelled more like a linguistic history lesson than anything approaching a useful system of phonetics. It might as well be pictographic with letters being helpful hints at this point. I wish there could be spelling reform in the anglosphere, but it’s hard enough to get people to agree within any one of the majority English-speaking countries, let alone between them.
In case anyone else who isn't knowledgeable in Latin is curious as to what "salmo" means and why they decided to name a fish after it... Salmo means Salmon.
There’s a bunch of words spelt annoyingly because those bastard scholars decided they’d like to incorporate the historic roots of words, rather than the reality of words, in their spelling.
I know it’s supposed to be his gimmick, but that asshole truly deserves to have his bell rung by someone in a kitchen staff somewhere for making that his gimmick.
Same for Bobby Flay who literally has a show where he’ll go into some southern kitchen and tell some lady from a family generationally famous for chicken and waffles that he can make it better than her.
Sure it’s staged, but even wanting to look like you’re doing it in a non-overtly fictional, actor playing a part way makes you an asshole. Why do people appreciate assholes? I don’t get it.
I could handle anger and fear, it’s the insatiable greed and cartoonishly blind worship of the greedy that makes me find this place intolerable and beyond hope. Our country literally celebrates inequality. We aren’t a society, we’re a handful of winners manipulating a couple hundred million losers into beating each other to death over scraps and false promises for further private profit.
Most of our hatred and fear flows out of the intentional division that having greed as our core cultural value stokes. Jealousy, schadenfreude, sociopathy, anymous, division, distrust, on and on. All in the name of people who already have embarrassing levels of wealth acquiring more. always more.
It’s like watching someone who weighs 700 pounds scooter his 20th plate from a private buffet to his table, surrounded by malnourished onlookers who wish they were him and dream of being so morbidly obese that they too require a scooter to ambulate. It’s disgusting on every side, it’s painful to watch, it’s absurd, and yet it’s what is considered rational here.
He’s signed with Fox. It’s very strange when I realized the scripting, narrating, and editing for his shows had the same hyperbolic comments that Trump does.
“Most extreme”
“Worst”
“Greatest challenge”
“First time in Hells Kitchen/Kitchen Nightmare/random show history”
I hate his American shows. I want to see the actual food, not the bullshit manufactured drama.
His American shows are all ego stroking. Lots of nonsequitor comments from contestants and guests on how incredible he is. How sexy (which is very awkward) he is. Omg I can’t believe he’s right here.
Then a health inspector should cite them or shut them down.
Culturally, how is it healthy to have some rich, well known chef come in and scream at anyone about anything until they start crying to thunderous audience applause? Full frontal nudity should be considered less offensive.
Cruelty, yay? I’m glad we have rage monsters solving problems by screaming at people?
People buy the product by tuning in, but the product is the appearance of reveling in an asshole being an asshole to people who already have shit on their plate to deal with.
God, “reality” Tv revels in cruelty. Hey let’s watch that show with the mentally ill guy who has a hoarding compulsion, and probably agreed to to make his private shame public out of economic desparation, to feel superior to someone!
Have you watched the show or just seen clips? He really doesn’t go off on them that much. And when he does usually it’s very deserved. Like he does not stand for deplorable conditions and mistreatment of staff. Like if he finds out an owner isn’t taking good care of their staff he makes sure they know its not okay.
But genuinely 3/4ths of an episode is him trying to help them improve with genuine empathy and understanding. He comes in, points out whats wrong with some gusto for the clips and then is like “hey so what’s going on? I’m sure you weren’t always this disconnected from what’s going on” and works with them to solve their issues which is usually more attitude and just like some guidance. Usually to they do a top to bottom cleaning and organizing of the restaurant for them.
Obviously you’ll hear more about the very rare episodes where they have the most famous chef in the world giving them advice and they just won’t hear it. Like people quote Amys Bakery because the owners flipped out at him pointing out raw pastries kept leaving the kitchen and then getting all shitty when he’s like don’t steal waiters tips.
It’s like the newest episode is him helping a family business out where the brothers weren’t even talking and the parents had to help instead of retire. He got the brothers to work together, remodeled the entire kitchen for them, held a make wish charity event at their grand opening on his dime, and did a bunch of training. It even had a 2 month check in where it was doing much better. But I’m sure you’ll only see a tiktok clip from when he found a box of raw chicken that made the whole crew throw up and he’s like “what the fuck?!” Which yeah, what the fuck? And this was a restaurant that had been health inspected recently. If anything it makes you loose faith in health inspectors. Idk wtf they are doing
I worked in a restaurant and someone called the health department on us. He stepped in the walk-in for about 2 minutes, looked at the make line, said “Nothing seems rotten to me” and left.
It stemmed from a lady claiming she got food poisoning from our food, but the timing was pretty fast, and half the ingredients were fully cooked upon delivery stuff anyway that just got heated up in the oven. So honestly, we figured she probably got it from something else and the inspector probably thought the same thing.
I think the vast majority of people has no idea how coding works, doesnt know what an algorithm does and is oblivious to the fact that AI isnt everything its hyped to be.
I had a manager 10 years ago tell me we should start using these “API” things he had just read about. A conspicuously non-technical manager, obviously.
