"The anxiety of an man with the ability to be rendered into glue after death of a horse."

"Tina, you fat lard, come get some dinner."

An excellent adaptation, except they cut his rant about Aquaman. Also:

From memory:

"This... is Head Radio, a Love Media station. Just one of nine hundred radio stations, three hundred TV stations, four networks, three satellites, ten senators (thank you, thankyou, thank-YOOOU)... Head Radio."

In the UK our car number plates actually tell you when the car was first registered - the third and fourth digits are either the year or the year +50. Normally I object to this, since it was only introduced as the result of pressure from British Leyland to try and sell more cars, but it serves as a handy way of instantly categorising anyone with a, say, '23 or newer cuntmobile.

Nice try, but I ain't Googling that.

As someone who oversees a shop like that, I'll just say: if there was an even vaguely competitive option, I'd jump at it.

I know what you're referring to, and I thought that too until he said "northern lights". Ya gotta learn to listen.

Yeah, me.

Here's the rule of thumb: do you think the food benefits from being cooked unevenly? For meatballs as you mentioned, I'd sear them in a frying pan to get a little bit of crispiness before I cook them through in the sauce in the microwave. Hunters chicken, cakes, seafood, all good. The microwave will cook far more evenly than a convection oven, though sometimes the unevenness is desirable.

Man, don't you be dragging down microwave cookery like that. People who depend on LLMs are not like people who cook with the microwave; they're more like people who don't know how to cook, refuse to learn, eat takeout for every single meal, and still demand you address them as "chef".

And now I'm going to talk about microwave cookery.

I think people who object to microwave cooking and see it as 'lesser' are either snobs, or people who have never used anything less than 100% power and get food that's both scalding hot and still frozen.

If you're in the second camp, try cooking for twice as long at 50% power. For most foods you'll get an even heat well beyond anything a convection oven could manage. In some dishes the unevenness (e.g. crisping) is desirable, but in most it's not.

Or, at least, that would last a thousand years.

Same here. Whether I start the day with a strong mug of coffee, six litres of olive oil, two cartons on concentrated prune juice, or just a simple handful of laxatives pills, the result is always the same.
