I’ve always enjoyed chips as a quasi palate cleanser for dishes that run fatty and have sauerkraut. Which is a fairly small range of foods. But it’s because the flatness of the potatoes, the single note saltiness, and the relatively lower fat levels do a good job of refreshing the palate alongside something else pickled and/or a beverage.
But it seems like that would make this dog have less “oomph” to the taste buds. That’s one of the great things about kraut on a wiener, how bold it is. It makes a great texture and taste contrast with the usual dogs out there.
It’s an interesting choice, but not one I would have made because of that.
I think if I did this, I’d have to do a side by side with and without the chips. The difference isn’t going to be massive, but it could be enough to shift the enjoyment level.
Now, chips on a dog is something I’ve done before. Plenty of times, actually. That crunch, and the mild flavor do indeed help cut through some flavors. But, typically, that’s going to be most desirable with things like simple condiments and maybe a bit of relish.
You know, a bit of mustard and/or ketchup is a good basic dog. You then add a little something extra to kick it up a notch without killing the simplicity of it. Some crumbled chips, even if it’s a pile on the plate and you dip into it (which is my preferred way with simple dogs), and it changes things just enough that each of the individual flavors gets separated and then melds on the tongue.
I mean, I don’t throw them away immediately, I wash them and put them in the rag bag. There’s always something needs a disposable bit of fabric to handle. Socks are great for dusting, as an example. Pull it over your hand, wipe things down, and Bob’s your uncle.
Ehhhh, to a limited extent, Christmas movies. But it’s only partly so it doesn’t get diluted, it’s also because they’re kind of meant to be something to make the season a bit happier. They don’t work as well outside of the holidays, so why bother?
If you want to enjoy distro hopping, go find a cheap thinkpad as a secondary device, and have fun. Otherwise, you try out live discs/drives to see if you get full compatibility with your main device.
Truth is that you’ll have more difference in user experience DE hopping than distro hopping.
You only distro hop until you find what works right with an your hardware and preferred software, unless you’re doing it as a hobby. Now, the desktop environments? That’s where you’ll see the big difference.
Nope, and he doesn’t want to. He would not be a good president. What be would be good at is a cabinet position. Maybe even a legislator, though he’d have to figure out how to pick good staff for that job.
That really is one of the best parts of being with someone that will let you be vulnerable as a guy.
We talk about toxic masculinity online, but can can you imagine having to keep that front of “manly man” up even when you’re in bed with your spouse/SO? How fucking cruel a world that is.
Sometimes, when you’re a man, you end up having to shove all that stress down so you can handle things. Having someone that not only recognizes that, but reaches out to help when it’s finally safe to let go of the bullshit is just miraculous. Not having to be the big spoon, to have someone comfort and shelter you, to be your strength when you’ve run out of it. That’s beautiful.
