Winter 2021 LC Thread—I Want Sous Vide

When I was in grad school I had a friend who worked for an advertising agency, one of whose clients was McDonalds. Something like 35% of McDonalds’ business was from daily eaters, who were referred to as “super heavy users.”

Why is Cajun music awesome, but rock and roll sung in French just sounds stupid?

I’m glad I tuned into the Eurovision song contest last night, seeing us get 0 points was the funniest thing all year.

Why do spoilt brat sons of billionaires ALWAYS have this look?

she’s at least pretending to be one, she refers to herself as “Esq” in the byline

It’s truly incredible that her account of her experience is basically “I Spearheaded an Expansive Effort to Put an Unreformed Sociopathic Murderer (I think? not stated but seems likely) Back on the Streets” and her takeaway is that she’s the victim. And we need a law to protect people from unreformed sociopathic murderers! Lady, the plan was to put them in jail!

Russian client states are now basically hijacking commercial flights

For clarification: This must be the Belarussian KGB. The Soviet KGB was dissolved 30 years ago along with the Soviet Union.

Boomer at my nice local brewpub is befuddling the waiter by ordering a Black and Tan, what’s my play?

Waiter is confused as to what a Black and Tan is, Boomer doesn’t understand why they don’t have Guinness and Harp on hand.

They’ve brought in a second waiter, who is helpfully suggesting the Boomer try a sample of the coffee stout, which is further confusing the Boomer.

The Boomer is probably late Gen-X, but whatever.

Go get him a sweet heart stout ffs :grin:

Are you in an Irish tavern?

^^No.

Do people actually enjoy Black and Tans? I always thought it was a dumb and somewhat problematic gimmick Americans have on St. Patrick’s Day.

Does second waiter know what a black and tan is? Does the brewpub have an appropriate stout and ale or lager that can be combined to make one?

I’m a tail end Boomer whose go to brew in an Irish pub is a Black and Tan.

But I’d never assume a non-Irish pub would have either on tap.
