From the comments on the tweet he just bought it recently to finally learn how to make coffee.

I'm a little rusty because I've been out of that job for a while, but I'm fairly sure that's a Breville coffeemaker that they haven't made in a while. It used to be like $200? I don't think they've sold it in at least 5 years now. I guess "recently" can be a fairly flexible word when you're 71 and talking about wanting to learn to make your own coffee, like he decided a decade ago that he should do it and that was "recent."

Like, if you teach a boomer to deposit cheques with their phone, they will soon experience a minor inconvenience with the system and then go back to the major inconvenience of driving to the bank and waiting in line.

Pretty much. He's been weird about coffee for so long that people have been giving him coffee makers for years. He stores them in his dishwasher.

Isn't Australian green curry like a vegetable mince that's then stewed into a mush and may or may not have a little curry powder?

That's Ki Si Minh. Which is one of those dishes both us and NZ claim but regardless was invented by some housewife in the 50s for a cooking magazine based on hearsay about something a relative ate in Asia during WW2.

It's generally not stewed into a mush though it's cooked as just a spiced meat onion and carrot mince then fresh or steamed shredded cabbage is added at the end so it still has crunch. Does have keens curry though.

We have really good actual Thai food though, ki si minh is just a weird relic.

Gas station coffee is good, because the turnover is so quick. It's almost always freshly brewed unless you're getting some at a really remote station or at a weird time of day (like 330am).

The coffee itself might be of questionable origin, you're not getting single source artisanal beans with notes of chocolate and marigolds or whatever but it'll be hot, fresh, and full of caffeine.

I've talked to some enthusiasts about nice hot sauces. A habanero is a genuinely good tasting fruit and some sauces have some good mixes of flavours to bring out the sweetness of the pepper.

far from an expert but Marie Sharp's Beware is a perfect example of this. Yes the sauce is pretty friggin' hot, but the fruity undertones are fantastic.

Dr. Stab posted:

Of course, then there's the butthole destroyer crowd. Just chugging capsaicin extract for the pain. And, it sucks cause sauces seem to be marketed entirely towards this crowd. It's like buying soy sauce and all the packages are telling you how extremely salty they are and how hardcore that is and how eating it will cause you to die and become a skeleton.

Which is funny because for a lot of wing places, the only difference between "heat level" in their sauces is how much salt they add.

E: also re:the fruity undertones of hot peppers; the reason why normal people don't eat scoville nerds' favourite dishes is because they're always disgustingly sweet.

not anywhere ive lived. ketchup on fries mayo in non fruit / vegetable salads . sometimes mayo on a sandwhich or burg but mostly mustard or bbq sauce on sandwhichs and ketchup and mustard on burgs. i lived all over and i currently live in rural nc. somewhere you would think they would go hard with mayo and ive never been to a bbq or gathering where it was used in a food crimes way. light spread to moisten a sandwhich or a dab on some burgs. i did see a kid dip his hot dog into the jar once but he was like 2 and probably just trying something.

Teaser:

"MY SON JAKE, who’s 25, eats mayo. He’s a practical young man who works in computers and adores macaroni salad. He’s a good son. I also have a daughter. She was a women’s and gender studies major in college. Naturally, she loathes mayonnaise."

Those equal time regulations wouldn't apply to the Jan 6 hearings, like, if that was still the law and MSNBC aired six hours of the Jan 6 hearings, they wouldn't be obligated to let Donald Trump speak for 6 hours afterwards. Those had to do with candidates running in an election, it might have applied if both Qanon Shaman and Donald Trump were running for the same office, but neither of them have declared their candidacy.

Jerry Saltz is a very unusual person who also exaggerates his life for dramatic effect. He put out an article in 2020 after people commented on his bizarre coffee habits - TLDR is that he had an abusive childhood where he never learned to cook, developed an eating disorder of some kind, finally married a similarly deeply weird art critic and together excluded everything that wasn't immediately connected to reviewing galleries from their lives. They eat microwave reheated chicken and greens from the local deli and that's about it.

It's funny how many couples and families out there seem to live in these little bubbles of weirdness that has become normality and are only punctured when an outsider finally looks in and goes "what the gently caress are you guys doing??".
