That's why your local tamale dealer is such a treasured person in a community. They're amazing, but a complete pain to make, so when you meet someone who makes them and sells them for what is in fact an incredibly reasonable price, you hold on to that person tightly. Let them pay for their car repairs with tamales, that sort of thing.

I only made tamales once and actually they weren't too much of a pain, but I cheated by using canned Goya hominy that I boiled and mashed, instead of from scratch masa, and they turned out really good.

You know what else is a pain to make? Ravioli. Good news is that for both if you are making some you might as well make a ton. My grandmother like any good Italian woman had a family recipe for ravs, her best happened to be a Mexican woman. The families would trade ravs for tamales every christmas and boy do I miss that. I do not make the 2 days of work that went into making a bunch of ravs though.

From A to B is a terrifying but amazing 90s documentary that offers a window into the absolute bleakness inside people actively buying into the rat race. It's just people talking about their company cars, but gives them enough rope to reveal how dreadful they are. I think I saw it when it was shown on TV and remember thinking how terrible everyone on it was at the time, but as a historical record I think helps explain why the UK is so hosed up 30 years later. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=CQsMFQZa8os

Wow this is quite something and very definitely explains the sort of mindset that got salesmen the reputation for being such utter arseholes. The guy at the end driving a BMW 320 and saying he won a company competition and was given a Supra but was wary about people judging him worse for driving something Japanese instead of German is very telling.

The guy who’s so pleased his new Astra is a saloon instead of a filthy hatchback, the guy who took the model number off his Mercedes so no one could see it was the bottom spec version. Or the guy who actively blocks overtakes from any vehicle that’s a lower spec trim than his, and of course the guy who really pissed someone off and ended up with a Maestro he despises. It’s also fairly telling that aside from the guy with the Fiesta and possibly the BMW, all of them are boomers.

He doesn't like doing it, but he needs the money, and TBH they're pretty good. I need to ask him if he's doing them this year. If not, I need to get my order in with Tamale House soon. The one thing I miss about living in my most ghetto apartment was the regular door to door tamale sales. Someone would knock on the door with a massive cooler full of steaming hot tamales and say "quantos tamales?" when you opened the door (I was the token gringo in the apartment complex, so they tried to dumb down the Spanish for me even though I do speak a little). Not just during the holidays, this was at least a twice monthly thing in the year I lived there. I always kept cash near the door for tamale days. They were unpredictable as far as days they'd show up, but so, so worth it. randomidiot fucked around with this message at 19:55 on Oct 8, 2020 |

He’d sell em in packs of 6 for a few bucks. Everyone has cash in their pocket for tips and everyone is drunk and hungry. I don’t know how long it took to make a cooler full of tamales but I’m glad he did it.

I wish we had tamale days like that here. Hell, I wish I could get tamales here at all. But no, every "mexican" restaurant is low-effort tex-mex.Lord Ludikrous posted:I love this every time it comes up because there’s so much to unpack.

Those pictures leave me disoriented and uncomfortable. I'd really like to see a wide shot of the whole car, and then also an explanation of why.

I assume it was a vehicle that appeared at first glance to be in good condition, and then a little bit of investigation revealed that it was 94% bondo by weight

Found a couple more. I'm guessing it was pulled out of a lake at some point and rolled no less than 3 times. https://imgur.com/gallery/XxUNK09

So at what point does the craton of bondo mess up the lines so bad that an enthusiast would hit the uncanny valley and try to figure out what's wrong? Imagine some old fart at a car show standing there repeatedly looking between this car and the one next to it.

KozmoNaut posted:British society is obsessed with social stratification, including when it comes to cars and even specific trim levels. I think benefit in kind tax has killed off a lot of nonsense with trim levels when it comes to company vehicles, but yeah the class system continues to gently caress us. There was an interesting documentary called Das Auto made in 2014 that explored Britain’s obsession with German cars, and the death of the British motor industry. Unlike many previous documentaries that looked at this subject that usually blamed either the unions or management, it blamed its demise on the class system. Class made sure the relationship between the workforce and management was entirely adversarial, and the government kept bringing in various “lords” and “sirs” to try and run things who didn’t have a loving clue what they were doing. The British public was also expected to keep buying British because of course they would, it’s not like they would buy any of those filthy foreign jobs is it? They did opt for the filthy foreign jobs. Pham Nuwen posted:You're telling me that a documentary about people driving company cars, made in 1993, would feature mostly boomers, aka "people who were over 29 years old at the time of filming"??? What I was getting at is like everything else that was made “back in the day” it shows boomers exhibiting the same traits they poo poo on millennials and zoomers for, but often worse. I bet at least one of the people in the documentary are amongst the miserable old fucks you find on message boards today complaining that “back in my day driving a BMW/Mercedes was a sign of prestige, now anyone who can afford the monthly payment has one  “

This is why you really gotta search around for the hole-in-the-wall places around town. There's a place near me owned by a Mexican family & there's only like 5-6 little restaurants around the entire city, but people avoid them based on looks (a few are in old drive-thru places that went out of business but otherwise nothing out of the ordinary). They make bar-none the BEST Mexican food I've had, none of those bullshit Tex-Mex or Mex-American crap that's basically a half step up from Taco Bell.

Two figures stand on the rim of a deep pit, supervising fleets of shining automatons as they go about the slow, studious work of excavation. A siren shrieks out an insistent tone. Success! Tunneler 1x7 has found something in it's dive through endless iron oxide granules! The machine rises from the surface, bearing a curiously elongated shape in it's maw. A skeleton? A carapace? A fossil? A shadow? "What do you think this signifies, Academician Xlub? Why here, so far from their cities?" "Ah, poo poo. Cadet Miop, you know what this is!
