  • Super Bowl – Turning Point USA unveils its halftime show lineup

  • The Jim Dandy is a banana split made in the super sundae bowl. The one pictured is a Reese's Pieces super sundae.

    Reese's pieces, vanilla ice cream, peanut butter, hot fudge, and marshmallow sauce, whipped cream and a cherry.

    If I'm remembering correctly, the super sundae was originally supposed to be five scoops of ice cream.

    I suppose it still could be, but maybe their scoops are shrinking.

    Edit: trying to get the ingredients right. Might still be wrong. It's been a long time.

    Jump

  • Yes, but they get rejected by society largely, because people don't like people who don't want to be a part of the tribe.

    You just described most of the formative years of my life.

    Jump

  • I'm wondering if there are some people who naturally reject the tribalism, or if rejecting it is something that needs to be learned.

    The only people I want to die are the people who want people to die 😉

  • Well then I guess thank you for conceding the point that I know more about the food I make than you do.

  • Well, I don't like having Reece's peanut butter cups in my ice cream, so I wouldn't get that.

    I think what you may not be considering is the ongoing shrinkflation happening at restaurants.

    I used to get the "Super Sundae" at Friendly's. It's served in a fishbowl style dish. They used to fill it with ice cream past the top of the bowl, with toppings including whipped cream above that. The last time I was there, the top of the whipped cream didn't reach the top of the bowl.

    (it doesn't look like this anymore)

    In answer to your question, having home made ice cream at home, I'm having 4-5 large scoops.

    I'm not going to reach the end of my life wishing I had eaten more ice cream.

  • When you cook at home, even if you use oils and other high-caloric ingredients, you still use way less than restaurants do.

    How much do you want to bet?

    One example:

    I'm concerned that I didn't get butter when I went to the store on Friday because after I came home my wife told me she moved the last four pounds of butter out of the freezer.

    I also have heavy cream in the fridge to make ice cream. If there's not a layer of lard on your spoon after you're done eating your ice cream, you aren't really trying.

  • There are a lot of siblings that hate each other, simultaneously there are only children that feel lonely really want siblings to play with.

    Jump

  • In my case, I have an ok relationship with my older brother. We don't see each other often, but we do get together for lunch from time to time.

    I stopped talking to my sister years ago. I told her our relationship was on hold until she committed to getting some therapy. She immediately hung up and proceeded to start spreading lies about me. She has previously tried to convince my kids that my mother hates them, and at my father-in-law's funeral (standing at the casket) she told my mother-in-law to marry for money next time.

    My wife finally realized her remaining brother was an asshole and cut off contact after he took our kids to a rock concert. She asked him not to drink at the concert, which pissed him off and he proceeded to drink at the concert. Their older brother was killed by a drunk driver, so it was a particularly shitty thing to do.

    I've often said there's always at least one insane person in every group of siblings. My father heard that and asked, "what about for me? I don't have any siblings."

    I told him in his case he doesn't have to wonder who the insane one is.

  • My dad was an only child. I have a brother and sister.

    It would absolutely infuriate him that we weren't all best friends. He'd really lose his shit. He just couldn't understand why we couldn't live up to what his fantasy of siblings was.

  • If the government raided your house and found a bunch of .mkv files but you insist its all legally obtained, how do they ascertain if they are actually pirated or not?

    Jump

  • I'm my case, I either have proof that I bought them in the form of the original DVD, or the movies are in the public domain, or they are digital copies of home movies.

  • What's up with "Plex Servers"?

    Jump

  • I run an Emby server, but just for family. Two of my kids use it, one doesn't. I posted previously that my daughter doesn't have anything that can play a DVD, but she still gets them and I add them to my server so she can watch them.

    I added my parents to it, and they watched some stuff, but they can't remember how to use it. Every time I show them, my dad will watch things for a few days, then he forgets how.

    I appear to be unique among the people running streaming servers in that I only add things if I own the DVD (or if they're in the public domain). I also only have about 1300 movies.

    I visit thrift stores to get cheap DVDs. There's one near me that charges $1/DVD, but they have a 50% off sale on the last weekend of every month.

    I'm trying to be more particular about what I add. I had started thinking that for 50¢, I can buy a shittier movie, but now I'm only getting the movie if I know it's worth it, or if it's got > 7 IMDB rating.

    Today's haul included True Grit (the remake), Capote, and Ready Player One.

  • What is a good present to get your dentist and dental assistant as a way of showing thanks?

  • Not eating oreos on the way to the appointment.

  • Should longer hair be handled by salons or male barbers?

    Jump

  • I'm definitely happy with it. I took my time at first until I knew what to do, but now it's pretty easy to get the cut I want. I don't notice any difference between what the flowbee can do and what the barbers used to do.

    I haven't been able to convince anyone else in my family to try it, but I definitely recommend it.

  • Should longer hair be handled by salons or male barbers?

    Jump

  • It is still being sold.

    I got one after a particularly bad experience with a barber.

    Not a bad haircut. He was just an asshole.

    I used to go a barber shop where you'd either write your name on their whiteboard under the name of the barber you wanted, or you'd just come in and sit down and get the next guy who was available.

    Originally I didn't care, but I'd end up with one short, older guy. I'm tall and long in the torso, so he'd complain that he couldn't get the chair low enough, so I'd have to basically slide down in the chair until I was sitting on my back for him, with my tailbone over the edge of the seat.

    That gets uncomfortable, so I started picking one of the taller barbers.

    One day I was in a hurry and I didn't want to wait for the tall guy, so I didn't put my name up.

    The guy took several people ahead of me who came in after me. At first I thought it was just people who stepped out and came back, but eventually I realized he was skipping me. Eventually one of the other barbers noticed and said something to him, and he started bitching about how I didn't want him cutting my hair.

    I didn't know I was breaking up with a girlfriend. I thought he was just a barber.

    The barber who confronted him took me next. I gave him a massive tip, and then I came home and ordered the flowbee.

    That was a few years before the pandemic, and I've been using it ever since.
