Pet Shop Boys have a trove of these — most of their best deep cuts have really long titles

“This must be the place I waited years to leave”

“I don’t know what you want but I can’t give it anymore”

“You only tell me you love me when you’re drunk”

“I wouldn’t normally do this kind of thing”

If you're considering making a batch, it's easy to find "fermentation lids" of various designs on Amazon that fit wide-mouth mason jars. In a pinch, you can just put a clean towel on top and secure it with rubber bands, but you may end up having to remove some (harmless) mold from the top at the end

You need to break down the cell walls so that the salt can get in, which is what makes the difference between fermentation and rotting. Traditionally, this is done by kneading the salt/cabbage mixture, but we're advanced and have motors to do the hard work for us. :)

Concretely, you end up with an entire arsenal’s worth of ham-fisted Checkov’s Guns that never get resolved or even acknowledged. I’m tempted to cite examples because it’s hard for one-off nonsequiturs to be real spoilers, but I suppose people might consider them spoilers anyway.

I think I would be a much bigger booster if they’d bothered to write an ending for the series. At some point in the final season or two, it gets to feeling like they’re just showing up on set with no prepared script or direction, and just doing high-concept improv.

It’s true, but none of them are America’s equivalent of Beethoven.

If the first five sections aren’t entirely about un-stealing SCOTUS, then it won’t be worth anything.

Look, I know it’s a very low form of humor, but I literally can’t read any news about this upset without this image popping into my head.

Every time something like this happens, I have to remind myself that the LLM companies are selling these services at a loss, and the actual operating cost — mostly electricity — is actually much higher than the ridiculously high numbers end-users are paying.

I think I had in the back of my mind that this is one of the recipes that I usually double, and then of all nights for me to decide to increase the ratio of dumplings because everyone always wants more dumplings… something seemed maybe wrong when I was measuring out 5 1/2 cups of flour, but…

I’m not sure where I miscalculated, but I have accidentally made an incomprehensibly large batch of chicken and dumplings. What am I going to do with two gallons of chicken and dumplings.

“C’mon do something” meme captioned “c’mon do the thing.” There is nothing at the end of the stick, to avoid crossing any bright lines.
