This is pretty impressive—guess trying to find a funnel is too time-consuming?

I've never worked in a kitchen that had funnels big enough to be useful in that situation - and anyway it seems to me like the funnel would plug up trying to exchange air, and slow down the pour. The plastic spice jar has such a wide mouth that the fastest way to fill it is just to figure out how high and how tilted to hold the Cambro.

You can prevent this by putting a wedge in under the funnel so it doesn't seal to the mouth of the container. I use a folded bit of paper. But yeah the mouth of that jar is wide enough already that a funnel wouldn't be useful.

IIRC, England hasn't had a native moose population for millennia, but used to call them "elk". When they got to the US, they called the first big deer-family animal they ran into "elk", and only moved into moose territory later. By the time they realized that the old-world elk was actually around in the Americas, and different from the first one, it was a bit late to change what they called that other species. Which is confusing if you're from a country that has native  As for what they called it, I suspect they had a period of "no, the other elk"?

I mean I feel other names often involved "Destroyer of gardens" and "Dinner". Though that latter one probably was used to describe 99% of American wildlife at some point. Yanno, just about everything besides skunks. Alkydere fucked around with this message at 14:55 on Dec 3, 2022 |

Probably compass related. "Northern elk or Southern elk?" Is the plural of moose meeses? I've heard a group of meeses is called a "goddamn, loving hairy sonofabitch!"

One of the sports bars I worked at kept those thin, flexible cutting board sheets around for this kinda thing, to make a roll up funnel. They sucked absolute rear end to cut on, though.

During covid all the restaurants were carry out only so at lunch time me and about 50 contractors would be eating our various lunches In our cars/worktrucks/workvans would sit in the strip mall parking lot and the crows quickly figured it out so there would be a million of them running around trying to get some food as we were all bored and found it entertaining to throw bits of bread and poo poo our to them and watch them squabble. I befriended this big bastard and would give him large chunks in hopes he would do the classic crow thing and bring me a silver ring as they are known to do. But alas to no avail. Crows are fuckimg heart breakers for real.

There's like ten of them that all hang out together, watching cars go by and picking at trash and roadkill. If a group of crows is a murder, what do you call a group of scavengers several times the size? A genocide?

If we could keep a perfect inventory of where all the asbestos is contained and perfectly prevent any purposeful or accidental damage we could basically fireproof the world. Also we could administrate perfectly fair world peace but then, you know, human's are involved so

When I first came here, this was all swamp. Everyone said I was daft to build a road on a swamp, but I built in all the same, just to show them. The first truck sank into the swamp. So I drove a second one. That sank into the swamp. So I drove a third. That burned down, fell over, then sank into the swamp. But the fourth one stayed up. And that's what you're going to get, Lad, the last truck in all of England.

Mozi posted:Asbestos really is pretty great stuff. Aside from the one, you know, thing. That's why it's still use! EPA only banned certain uses, the phase out was mostly "voluntary". Cause the suits were coming fast and large. Less common now, but brake pads and clutches can still legally use it. Only phased out by US manufacturers in the 90s voluntarilly. It's not uncommon in imported pads, hence CA doing their own ban. A lot of industrial uses still too. Imports still measured in hundreds of metric tons.
