You can heat a pizza stone as hot as you want, it’ll never be able to transfer that heat as quickly as quickly as metal. It’s the conductivity that makes the difference.

Oooh I’ve never tried making pancakes doigt sur la photo. How was it?

It’s called grabity because it’ll reach up and grab ya!

You’ve got a bit of a catch 22 trying to make shrimp stuffed braciole because traditionally braciole is tougher cuts of beef (when nonna taught me we used round steak) braised in tomato sauce until the heat and the acid tenderizes them, but braising shrimp for that long is gonna turn them into chewy, flavorless lumps. Upgrading to ribeye (that I assume is both butterflied and pounded thin) and cooking less is an interesting way to try to solve that problem

In America, race and sexuality being irrelevant is a privilege of straight white men. When someone has done you violence because of who you are, you’ll spend every second of the rest of your life with who you are and how likely the people around you are to try to kill you over it in the forefront of your mind. When I, as a queer person, walk into a room I immediately sort everyone in the room into threats, allies, and people who will just stand off to the side because experience has taught me that if I don’t some people will beat the shit out of me and others will tell me that I deserve it for “being a f*g about things”. Ask your black friend, or your gay friend, or your woman friend. I guarantee you every one of them is more on guard than you because race, gender and sexual orientation will never be irrelevant to them.

This isn’t about forcing people to disclose their sexuality. “Why does he have to be gay?” Is almost always an effort to force people not to disclose their sexuality, but it’s only ever used when the sexuality being disclosed is non-straight. You have never seen and will never see any reaction at all to a straight cis male character simply using the phrase “my wife” but a cis female character doing exactly the same will elicit a backlash. They’ll dress it up as being against unnecessary sexualization, but the only sexualization that’s ever unnecessary is queer sexualization. Straight sexualization is never a problem.

because I’d “like” to “know”. Some people use them to communicate dubiousness, some people use them to indicate they’re actually quoting someone, some “people” use them for emphasis.

I still only have ever heard “Tim shot Eric dead.” I’ve never seen it any other way except in this headlines.

I’d love to see an example of “I shot dead him”. I’m not trying to be defensive, I’d really enjoy seeing it. Dialects fascinate me.

But we absolutely see backlash of the type of “why does he have to be gay” in response to something as simple as two men holding hands, or other things that would never be seen as “making a point to mention someone’s sexuality” if that sexuality is straight. I’m generalizing away from this particular example and addressing the idea that anything that isn’t cishet is abnormal and requires justification.

Did they run out of monkeys?

Why are straight white people the only people who don’t need a plot justification to exist?

Imagine how difficult it is to try to tell people that you are, globally, the pre-eminent batman researcher…

The headline is technically grammatically correct but ambiguous. “…shot and killed unarmed black man” would have been better. If you absolutely need to stick to word/character count, “shot unarmed black man dead” would be less ambiguous and more in keeping with how people actually use “shot dead”. I’ve watched a lot of westerns and I can think of quite a few where someone says “I shot him dead” but not one where someone says “I shot dead him”.

there’s no way to know what an IPA will taste like before you crack it open

That’s why I like brewers that publish their hops. I’m the opposite of you, I live for the citrusy, fruity type of hops and despise the more traditional floral/piney strains. If I see simcoe on the bill I’ll go to bed sober, but if you’ve got Willamette or Cascade I’ll make tea from them.

Nope, just bored to death by the seagulls constantly squawking “THING BAD! THING BAD!”

But of the near-infinite number of things a person dislikes, they only meme about a couple. The Internet loves an easy target…

Why is she in quotes?

You see, I always thought that he bought Twitter so that he could have a parallel equivalent to that thing where the president can send a message to every cell phone instantly. You’ll notice that one of the first things he did was make himself block-proof. He still shows up in your feed, even if you blocked him. That was actually what caused me to leave Twitter, though his later decisions have validated that. He’s even floated the idea of getting rid of blocks altogether. He’s slowly making Twitter unpalatable to anyone who isn’t part of his white supremacist genius entrepreneur cult.
