@NaomiSkarzinski I am excite!

@Render I was in the theaters when Austin Powers 2 came out. And when Dr. Evil said, "This is my Moon Unit Alpha," I started cracking up loudly. Loud enough that somebody turned around and shushed me.

Then of course he continues, "And this is my Moonunit Zappa..." and the audience was dead silent.

F'ing kids. 😋🐺

@Render This is why the gun powder and explosive residue tests.

@NaomiSkarzinski Mustard or garlic is a must! That's the emulsification agent.

I think my current one is a two-speed Cuisinart with a deep U-shape. I want to say I paid $40 for it.

I use it a lot for making soups. For example, It makes kick ass lentil soup. I don't have to try to pour the hot lentils and chicken into another container, I just stick the blender into the pot and go to town for a couple of minutes. As long as there's garlic in there my lentil soup never separates even days later.

@NaomiSkarzinski Love love love my stick blender for emulsifying. I'm not sure I've ever had a failed emulsification with it.

That said, I think that's also because when I went hunting for a cheapo one years ago I remember Alton Brown (?) saying something about the best ones for emulsification are the kind with a deep U-shaped cup vs the less suction-capable shallow V-shaped cups.

I love these vids:

@danielbsmith @Stonekettle "THIS is the week where Donald Trump will be presidential."

Uh, no. No credit. This is the third attempt. They knew this stuff months ago, but refused to do the right thing then.

Doing it now just highlights how bad the optics have to get for them to maintain the barest level of decorum in the chamber.

That is NOT a rustic medieval chair, artist.

Those are Senegalese birthing chairs. 🤣😂🤣😂

🤣🤣😂😂🤣😂😂🤣😂

@Novels56 @NanaWithSoul I bet if she took off the corset she could go back to the drinking and the drugs for her entertainment. 😅🤣😂🤣

After a year on Counter Social, I consume social media so so differently.

Over on BlueSky, I watch the fireworks and have no interest in getting involved. In fact, I'm vaguely wondering where Jester is and why I haven't seen multiple troll-splat emojis.

My furry friends and the artists are over there, but so are the dramallamas.

It's exhausting.

@NaomiSkarzinski @Novels56 Hehe. When I make kimchi with three heads of napa cabbage, carrots, scallions, Korean pears, and all that ends up filling most of a 5 gallon tupperware.

Five gallons of fermenting fish sauce on the counter... Am I weird that I find it smells delicious?

@ecksmc Thank you! I'll give this a try as soon as I remember what my coso password was. 😅 I'm pretty sure I have it saved on the PC. I hope.

@0x56 @Qbae

Is anyone else getting weird negative-looking user icons on mobile? I've tried clearing my cache but a bunch of folks - including my own icon - still show up as a negative image next to posts.

@thedisasterautist My go-to comedy monologues for 2 or 5-minute auditions were Australian Table Wines or The Travel Agency Sketch. 😁🐺

You know you're super duper extra special bigoted when IBM - a company infamous for directly helping carry out the Holocaust (not an exaggeration at all) - thinks you're too antisemitic.

@Wbtphdjd LightInTheBox.

Almost fell for an online scam. The first image is the jacket they advertise, but the second is /also/ shown in the listing.

You don't have to be a fashion guru to see the massive difference in materials and manufacturing quality between the two.

Guess which one you'd get in the mail if you actually spent money with this scammy company. Avoid LightInTheBox.

@Stonekettle Please don't disparage the Muppets like that. Not even muppets want anything to do with a Christian Doninionist whackadoodle like Mike Johnson.
