Come! We must fly!


The pulled pork my Dad made for Canada Day was delicious.
It was smoked for 8 hours (HOW DO YOU KEEP IT LIT?)
Coleslaw, and buttered toasted buns.
Plus home-made potato chips and garlic/chive sour cream dip.

My wife made surprised me with poutine that also had garlicky kholodyets and smyetana on it and called it "vladimir poutine," easy but topical and adorable pun. Even got cheese curds instead of doing it with walmart brand grated cheddar or such things the US normally does for poutine. Not a peeve but tasty and cute. I miss Canada :(

I actually did lose my sense of taste to covid back in the initial 2020 wave and that poo poo sucked. I got into fruit drinks and full sugar soda because they at least produced a mouth-feel, even if the feeling was "ouch." I don't wish it even upon the wrongest, australianest food opinion havers.

Correct. I don't know if the trend has passed or not because I haven't been out much in the last couple of years, but before the plague it was everywhere in Melbourne and it was bad. Of all the things you can do with pork, that might be the worst.

It's one of the best because pork isn't that good.

My dad turns steak into shoe leather, and eats it with only salt. That's a bad steak, it's why I hated steak until I was in my late 20's and had a good med-rare. I one time tried to make a steak for him and I got chewed out for undercooking it and seasoning it.

Vinegar based Eastern North Carolina style or :frogout:

I generally had a really good boy scout experience,the one lingering bad was the leader dads going all cave effete about how the only good steak is rare with nothing on it but salt. Bullshit thing to internalize. Steak is good and easy to make better. First time I just made a pan sauce for a steak and tried it as a adult was transformative.

Some heatpump/AC installers are coming today, and there's no estimate or info about how long it usually takes, just that they'll come 'between 730 and 930'.
I'm probably the first installation of the day, so why the goddamn 2 hour window for when they arrive? The electricians who were here a week ago gave a specific time and arrived then.

You’re not the only person in that window and the shippers have to sort x number of packages starting long before dawn and load them onto trucks whereupon the delivery driver will then set off on a route including hundreds of packages with no precise knowledge of weather or traffic till it happens.

It was an installer, not a package delivery.
There I don't care because most of the apps show where you are in the queue and etc nowadays.
This was a guy who'd set off 1/3 or 1/2 of the workday to bring and install an AC.
Hence why I'm so puzzled they listed such a wide window for arrival.

Also the machine couldn't be installed where the seller said it could, and had to go somewhere else, with a long power cable over to the socket I explicitly had to add outside.
So because of that there's now an outdoor power socket on the opposite side of the house from the unit itself.

I hate phishing. I already hate phones and everything to do with them but all the phishing poo poo just makes me even more paranoid about them.

Today I got a text message out of the blue from a number I don't recognize just asking if I'm ok and if I remember the sender. First of all, even if that text is legit: gently caress you. Tell me who you are and I'll tell you if I remember you. But I'm 90% sure it's phishing anyway. The area code was Alabama and I'm not even sure I know anybody from there!

But I hate that I even have to think about this. gently caress phishing.

It's possible they have additional stuff to do at the beginning of the day, plus traffic or needing to get fuel.

A large window helps to cover their rear end from customer expectations. I used to deliver large appliances, if I told someone within a two hour window, then fine. If I told someone within a one hour window and arrived 15 minutes outside of that, they're much more likely to be angry.

If you have AppleTv+ there’s a series called Home. The first one is this dude and his family that live in Sweden except they built a greenhouse around their actual house so they have Mediterranean climates pretty much year round, it’s wild.

There’s an Iceland one too but I haven’t seen that one yet.

I'm not sure if that's worse, or one of the accountants going to the payroll lady/office manager's office two doors down from mine, and hiss-whispering some inane gossip or who came in 3 minutes late tattling bullshit. This sibilant whisper just at the edge of hearing, too faint to make anything out beyond the murmur. I hate it. STOP IT AND GET BACK TO WORK AND PAY MY VENDOR GODDAMNIT.

When someone posts in a Facebook group, "thought the group would like this," but they are not a bot. It's the same as when my grandmother sends me e-mails that say "I send you this file in order to have your advice." It is a pet peeve because I don't want to think that hard about whether or not a person is a bot and when they post something and for some reason use the exact same phrasing the bots do I just assume they are.

Irrationally, this irritates me doubly so because the person probably saw many bots posting with "thought the group would like this," didn't realize they were bots, and figured that's just what people say when they post jobs for fuckin Amazon or videos of people riding bikes on the local animal rescue Facebook groups.
