  1. Also very old. It's very mid 90s slang. Guess what's old is new again.
  2. I'm bored and that sounds interesting. Got some links? I'd google myself but not even sure how to phrase the query.
  3. There really should be a "jealous" rep option. A rando restaurant around her carries (carried?) habanero sculpin. Thought it would suck but damn, for me it's definitely worth the corona risk to go and do some carry out.
  4. Was gonna say I’ve never done refried but for regular I boil the beans with one whole entire garlic, splash of oil, and half way through put in some salt for taste. Boil with a lid on until the water is almost completely evaporated but the beans aren’t sticking to the bottom, turn off the heat, let sit a smidge with the cover on. They sure as hell look/act refried and taste great but without any extra steps. That said, lot of the recipes up top sound great.
  5. I don't know, the "Dead Guy's Duck" still has a certain ring to it...
  6. Nevermind, covered.
  7. I like your plan in theory but I can see how some families might not have the space or funds to buy for 3-4 weeks at at time. Especially people in apartments that aren't the size that most Texans/Midwesterners are familiar with.
  8. weird, is this a thing? Today I got a meme in spanish that was someone whispering to Fauci/etc that the Dominicans are still cutting hair behind the lowered gates. I know there is a guy in a professional van in Austin still doing haircuts which seems like an unnecessary risk (not sure if he goes into your house or you just get a haircut in the van) but I'm still taking the dog on long solo walks so can't really point fingers.
  9. Not to mention A LOT of people are being told to just stay at home and assume they have it since tests are rationed. Case count is way too low but that means cfr should be better so you win some, you lose some.
  10. His was as much about your family as you were saying about two posters killing themselves while one ripped the other’s throat out. Or how you said posters predicted EVERYONE was going to die. Point being all three are bullshit claims but if you are using hyperbole against other poster’s claims, then everyone else can say it about your claims.
  11. He also wishes the death of other posters but apparently that won't get you banned anymore.
  12. Noticed that too. I usually get high fiber/high protein bread that was almost always discounted a couple bucks (from $4.99/5.99 to $2.50) but now they aren't even stocking it and all the bread except generic is $3.99 or up. Sad (?) part is that I tried hitting up the Entenmann's Bakery outlet and the sign out front said they were closed until further notice because no one was sending them any supplies anymore. Guess everything is selling, which is good for them but sucks for me b/c they usually had deals on all their baked goods from bread to donuts along the lines of 3 packages of anything for $4.
  13. Spoke to my sister in Austin who said, "well, we bought a thermometer and masks for when people ACTUALLY start getting sick." She is the type that usually turns off the news when it gets too depressing. But it did make me think about the number of people I knew who were sick. My family is all back in Texas but the gf's friends and family all live here in the tri-state area. Following are all people I have met and are my friends or she has personally met that are either part of her extended family or close friends of her family: -2 confirmed dead due to Covid, 1 other that we were told was dead and assuming for same reason but couldn't confirm the cause. The two confirmed were elderly. -14 with multiple symptoms that fit Covid but only 4 were allowed to be tested. Three of those four were positive and the fourth was told his test was faulty but to assume he had it. Everyone else denied testing and told to stay home and assume they had it. -Of those 14, almost all are parents and their housing situation extends to about 25-30 more people that are mostly kids so while not assuming the kids have it, odds are some did/do and luckily have very minor symptoms. Stay safe Austin
  14. Thats partly because Guayaquil went idiot just like florida did. They had to block all expressways in and out of the city, and institute a 4pm curfew cause the first week of recommended SiP the dumbasses went partying and gave zero fucks. They played stupid games....
  15. on the off chance you're serious, pretty sure it's from Watchmen
  16. your god turd thinks windmills cause cancer. you never have the right to call anyone out on any unintentional speaking mistake. jfc, fucking trumptards.
  17. Always wanted to make my own bread. Does one need any special equipment more than a bread pan for baking? Thermometer? Special pan/dutch oven? Special oven?
  18. gym. drinking. i'm exposed to too many vectors in my current living situation so figured no drinking until at least SiP is lifted. Haven't had a drop since 3/7
  19. Short term yes on this one but think nyc was a pilot market for these types of companies and after a few months, almost everyone cancels. They're not bad, and do help novice cooks but humans are either too lazy or too smart; they either just go back to eating out or get into cooking/realize it's cheaper to do your own shopping. Maybe fear of infection keeps them afloat longer but in the long run no one uses them forever, least not anyone I know.
  20. it'd make my grocery runs safer, thats for sure. Alas, i'm walking the pup 1-2 hours a day, making grocery runs, or walking in the park/running alone on a track or the streets. I don't interact with people in public but i'm sure as hell not staying inside 24/7 for weeks at a time. I can't, the pup won't let me. Whats the best image hosting site for surly? Should be in the 40s-50s so there should be people out all over. Maybe because Queens is more residential, and while no one is congregating, the streets sure as hell don't look desolate by any means. Fewer people sure, but not even close to empty.
  21. same. letting the pervert 'stache grow and no haircuts. fuck it, its corona and i'm at home 22.5 hrs a day. i ain't trying to dress up for anyone.
  22. i'm all for wearing a mask but my sewing skills are shit, not sure I have a needle anyway, and sure as hell can't buy any now since everywhere is sold out. So what are my options?
  23. actually the last two got a chuckle out of me. Low, low, looooooow bar with EMAW but still
