    A reminder that 99%’ers like us can only deduct $3k/yr of capital losses.  If you want to not hodl, you should balance it with some capital gains.

    Ill sell you 5 years of capital loss rollover credits for $4000 and an xbox 360 🤔

    oh, i wasn't saying they had it, i'm just amazed people buy prediced onion. fastest thing to prep in the entire kitchen and an onion lasts a long time on the counter so buying prediced is just... something

    I enjoy the dicing. It's the peeling of onions and carrots and garlic and trimming the ends and cleaning the shreds of skin and washing of the board that slowly triggers my curmudgeonliness.

    There's an appeal to just tossing shit together just to do the actual cooking. Hence the growth of the meal kit business.

  4. Ank earned it and deserved it. 

    Lots of people were unhappy with the fight. I think its more that they were unhappy with the result? It was a good, tense, striking match for 4.5rds and stall grappling for 0.5rds but thats why its called mma ?

    Thinking of dipping my toes in the EV waters.  Any thoughts on the Lexus RZ?  It will solely be used as a daily commuter car, about 50 miles a day.  Charging at home every night.  I like the look of the interior better than a similarly priced model y.  For the price (mid 40k), seems like an attractive option.  

    This would be the neatest commuter car, but i didnt know that it was never in the US, or that honda killed it entirely

  6. I really miss living next to a major airport hub. 

    From my current residence, anywhere we need to fly are all best served by a hodgepodge of nickel- and diming- discount carriers. For leisure, for work, short haul, medium haul, doesnt matter. 

    No full-service legacy/flagship carriers unless flying long-haul, and thats with a minimum of 1 stop for basically anywhere.

    I identified with this meme for a long time, until one day it dawned on me the plastic spacer thing is meant to go on bottom. 

    Once you realize that, hit rate goes up to 90%

  8. Anyone have memorable pizzas in Rome? I wanna sample all of the top favorites but have limited time. 

    Tried Nerone, Ai Marmi, Dar Poeta. Only one I want to revisit is Bonci (serving al taglio squares).

    I did a lot of BBQ this weekend and wanted to try to create something as good as the Brussel Sprouts from Stiles Switch. This is an Asian sweet/spicy attempt.

    Not quite the same but really good. 87d64585cbcec56457fe22834a4cdebd.jpgae37530139df53b8f00b16b45db7522f.jpg

    Get rich business idea: sell sprouts that are halved with the outermost layer already peeled.

    Planning a trip for June. Never been to Spain.

    Thinking 5 nights in Barcelona. That is where we will fly into. Friends currently live there, so will stay with them. 
     

    3 nights in Madrid. 2nights in Granada. 3 nights in Seville. 
     

    is this a decent trip for first time visit to Spain?

    Thats a good sampler. Depending on what you’ve booked and how you plan to get around, I might swap Madrid for Basque country because you’ve already got BCN for a big city. The other cities will be for regional/cultural exposure.

  11. The slightly lower weight actually does feel more comfortable for longer use, whereas the pro feels more premium and substantial. 

    Was looking forward to the Apple Intelligence features but so far its quite garbage.

    Have not used anything where I can appreciate the 16’s higher horsepower, but the lower refresh thing is a constant reminder of the impression that it is slower (ie appears laggy). 

    I’ll just keep it around for a bit because it’s a free upgrade due to corp. cycle. Then I’ll give away one or the other to family.

    Yeah, there is.  I turn it full blast to get it screaming hot, and then turn it down right before launch.  Even at the lowest setting, there is still a good amount of flame the fans out over the ceiling area of the oven.  

    On the ooni i do 3 things to get the bottom heat in balance with the top (at lowest setting): preheat longer; flip/rotate the stone during preheat; and cook the pie at the front of the oven away from the rear flames. 

    It also helps to do neapolitan pies that have much thinner crust

  13. I was never satisfied with doing schnitzel / cotoletta / fried cutlets at home until i cracked the code: the meat has to be **thin**

    Presliced pork or veal typically comes in at 1cm thick. You have to butterfly that sumbitch in half. Then it becomes super easy to tenderize. Then after breading (in whole-wheat breadcrumbs) and frying it comes out 99% restaurant style, like a true Wirtshaus. 

  14. Yeah, i sleep with the girlfriend. Wife sleeps with the dog. 

    But forreal, we transitioned to separate blankets. I have a thinner one, she has a thicker one, and we never have to jostle for it. We also use separate adjustable slats under the mattress so the bedfeel is slightly different on each side.

    I snore tons. She got used to it. Once in a blue moon if one of us is deeply ill we might sleep separate.
