I love most fish, but pizzerias always use dried anchovies that are overpoweringly salty and drown out everything else on the pizza.

Silver Falcon posted:Incredibly stupid question but humor me. They... have bones in them right? Do you just... eat them whole, bones and all, or what? Yes they have a visible spine but it's soft and most of the time you won't even notice them. I recommend you start out with high quality sardines from a company like Nuri. They are "artisinal" and made in Portugal where they take their fish seriously. While the spine is there they do get rid of the head, tail, and all the guts. The ingredients are just sardines, olive oil, and spices. It's tasty as hell but pricier than the crap you get at the supermarket that's in water. Avoid the ones in water.

"Boneless skinless" canned sardines exist, but don't get those no matter how off-putting you think you'd find bones because they are never good.

Even the nicer ones are still pretty goddamn salty. It's not really that pleasant, although they can rise to the level of "unpleasant in an interesting way."

Tiggum posted:This used to be true, and may still be true some places i guess, but i think the main reason that you don't hear nearly so many complaints about them any more is because most places stopped doing that and anchovies on pizzas are good now, actually. It's watery and mushy in my experience with tuna, salmon, sardines, mackerl.

Bacterial colonies within fish intestines and under their scales produce geosmin, the chemical we recognize as smelling "dirty" or "fishy". These colonies have the opportunity to grow exponentially after the fish is caught and killed, producing more geosmin and smelling worse. Some fish produce these in greater quantities, such as tilapia, which is why they taste like old dirt. Ironically, geosmin is also the pleasant, earthy smell we experience at the beginning of a rainstorm dubbed "petrichor"

People on Magic: the Gathering Arena who take forever to do nothing. At least the ones who do sixteen different things and pause to consider the correct order to do them are just avoiding the mistake I make all the time of casting stuff in the wrong order and not getting the full benefit. But when someone waits so long on their pre-combat main phase that the timer fuse appears, skips through combat, then takes another thirty seconds in the post-combat main phase before eventually ending the turn, what the gently caress are they doing? Get on with it!

More food peeve. The way places use "cajun" "lousiana" and worst of all "voodoo*" and poo poo to mean whatever they want it to mean, flavour-wise. Cajun and créole food are real, and good, but no it's just "uh spicy but not like, chili pepper spicy" at best Even worse if it's a european place serving the food *exception Zapp's Voodoo chips, which the acadiens famously ate on the deportation voyage

I've said this before but PLEASE don't offer to do something to help me if you're just gonna sit on the task I know people are busy and that they're not necessarily gonna be able to prioritize my needs This is why I didn't come up to you and say hey, do this for me. The only reason you have this task is because you said, voluntarily, "oh I can do that for you, it'll be quick" "I do this all the time" When you start to pass the point where I'm no longer thanking you and instead becoming increasingly concerned it's never getting done, just admit it's not happening so I can arrange alternative solutions

Atticus_1354 posted:I got so mad until I read this part. Zapp's are so loving good. I got a variety box from Amazon a few months ago because way up north, all I ever see is the Voodoo and I wanted to try some other flavors. Evil Eye is good...The "Cajun Crawtater" is probably #3? Like a spicy BBQ, def. better than any Lay's/Ruffles BBQ flavor. Their regular spicy jalapeno weren't anything special, nor were the dill, though I have never found a dill pickle chip I like. The problem seems to be that NO ONE understands it's dill PICKLE flavor, not just dill. Where is the vinegar?! Just take whatever your salt and vinegar flavor is, and add dill (and perhaps other pickling spices) to that! Problem solved! I also got a large bag of their Voodoo style pretzel sticks at Costco the other month and those are fantastic, possibly even better than the Voodoo chips. The extra size of the pretzel stick helps it hold up to the large amount of salt/flavoring on it. And on chip talk, I'm upset that Pringles seems to have stopped making the Loaded Baked Potato flavor.

Pick up phone and accidentally cover part of the proximity sensor on the top: 'ACCIDENTAL SCREEN TOUCH PROTECTION ON.' Have phone in pocket while on a sweaty hike: 'lol ill call the cops' (Also Pocket Cast's lockscreen controls has a progress bar that'll randomly nuke your progress if your phone starts firing off false touches.) Turns out the killer app of having a samsung flip is just... being able to prevent butt dialling by having it closed.

SubNat posted:Pick up phone and accidentally cover part of the proximity sensor on the top: 'ACCIDENTAL SCREEN TOUCH PROTECTION ON.' Ugh, drat yeah. The one I have most frequently is I try to use music or Pocketcast's onscreen controls, which CAN be used on the lockscreen...but the play/pause or jump 30s ahead buttons are so small, I "miss" them, even after 2/3 tries, so then that triggers my lockscreen to throw the pin-pad up and I have to put my PIN in to do anything. \But then, yes, if it's in my pocket and I have the screen facing in towards my thigh, I'll get a million registered touches that are PERFECTLY on the jump 30s button.

Do your phones just constantly display the lock screen? My phone is pretty old so I'm actually asking. Also I'm one of those people that can barely get touchscreens to work even when I'm intentionally pressing it with my finger. Dip Viscous has a new favorite as of 16:30 on Jun 23, 2023 |

Mine is off, but a double-tap wakes up the screen and shows the lockscreen, which is useful when I just want to quickly check what notifications are on / time / etc. Disabling that would probably avoid accidental touches, but it'd also mean needing to toggle it on and off as needed. (Most) smartphones have had dedicated proximity sensors since the start of the smartphone era. (My ... 12? year old Desire had one.), that they still can't deal with pockets consistently is frustrating. Maybe there's just been a major regression as they pushed them under the screen.

My toaster stopped working so I went to take it apart to fix it. It has security screws. It's a loving $15 walmart toaster why does it have security screws? The only reason to do this is to keep people from trying to fix things. The only thing wrong with it was the thin leaf contacts were bent a little from use and not making a connection.

And it can never be normal bright as gently caress lights, it's always a massive halogen floodlight that could comfortably light a whole basketball court for a night game. And the sensitivity is set so high that they turn on every minute or two even if nobody is walking past. I swear my neighbors must spend $100 a month powering lights they don't even get to see. Combine that with something I mentioned before: Dip Viscous posted:As if the dogs and leaf blower dipshits weren't enough, several of my neighbors have installed fake home security systems with a motion sensor and speaker that screams "YOU ARE BEING RECORDED" at any activity as minor as a bird taking a poo poo 50 meters away. So now I get to listen to those going off at least once a minute, 24/7. I have no idea how anybody around here maintains a sleep schedule. \/ They aren't modern LEDs, though, it's always these giant 500W motherfuckers. More lighter more gooder!

^ ^ ^ Eh, modern LED lights would probably cost barely $5 even if they were on 24/7. ^ ^ ^ I have a motion light and I did my best to angle the sensor and set the sensitivity so it doesn't go off until you're IN the driveway. My GF actually wants it to go on earlier so it's on as she is starting to pull in, not, like, almost already halfway in, but I am like you guys and hate ones that go off from sidewalk movement. I also have the lights themselves angled more down on the driveway and walkway to the house, not into the neighbor's yard. I at least TRY to be a good neighbor.
