life pro tip: plug every battery powered device you have into your electric van and then plug your electric van into the municipal $0.00/kWh socket down the street from your house

If you think this is an unrealistic commute for DFW, here’s one my old manager who moved to DFW from Iowa does every single day

if we had an opposition party that wasn’t housebroken they would be drafting up an XO for 12:02 inauguration day that says “absolute pardon and immunity for anyone who shoots an impersonator of law enforcement. real leos show badges with name and number and anyone who doesn’t is an imposter”
to SCOTUS: "we can prosecute the people he pardoned, or a future Democratic president can have them shot and then pardon the shooters. do you want that loop to start?"

Miller is a vile little tick latched on to the scalp of our nation, a parasite gorging himself on blood, and he should be pulled off and crushed into pieces

sorry but the contrast between “use your thirteen thousand dollar refrigerator and seven thousand dollar oven to make a beautiful holiday meal” and “POUR TWONA HALF GALLONS OF APPLE JUICE IN A BUCKET AND THEN STICK THE BIRD IN THE BUCKET” is absurdly funny to me
this is what i’ve got marinating in the fridge rn. people tend to not really use their oven for anything other than bake so we emphasize the different cook modes and the fact that they do different things. if you have a recent Wolf oven the app will also program the oven according to the recipe

i fed the recipe for my byerly’s The Cake That Makes You Drunk into the app while we were beta testing (and thank god i did because byerly’s has since killed their cookbook) and it nailed the scrape. what i really like is that it automatically detects durations and creates matching timer buttons.

if you are open to winging shit, the recipes section of the sub zero group owners app has a whole section just for thanksgiving dishes
November 27, 2025 at 4:12 AM
btw about a month ago my company soft launched a cookbook in our phone app. it’s called the sub zero group owners app but you don’t have to own a sub zero or wolf appliance to use it. it’s pretty good i like it a lot. it comes with recipes that our in-house chefs make and have tested THOROUGHLY

In a gear change from my last few stories...by acting as a "mechanical fuse" this simple little slipknot, added to surgical thread, can radically improve how surgeons perform sutures & lead to better outcomes

A lovely intersection of mechanics, geometry and medicine 🧪
