I can get just about any style of pizza I want from local shops, why would I go with a major chain? Rarely I’ll get Pizza Hut because it is its own thing that nobody else replicates.
Our standard poodle is a rescue that was heavily abused by her previous owner. She would get scared and bite. I figured the training would be cheaper than a lawsuit. It’s made a HUGE difference in her behavior.
I dont think multiple streaming platforms is a problem. The problem is exclusivity. I dont want to pay for every subscription service to watch popular things. I wont to watch any show I want on one platform that I choose. Much like I do for music. But no, with TV shows everyone has their own walled garden of exclusives. Fuck that.
Purely a subjective opinion (and I apologise if the artist shows up in this thread) but is it me or does it look like the person who made the background took a step back after it was done, marvelled at how pretty it was, and enjoyed the moment before thinking “…fuck I forgot about O’Brien”?
It’s a great bit of artwork but poor Miles looks like an afterthought!
We are both atheist however I have to appear pious at times, I hope that it doesn’t get me into trouble with her parents who are rather anti-religious and who don’t believe that I am atheist
it’s a reuben; but that name is licensed so they call it a russian sandwich.
it’s near the museum of modern history in manhattan.
the corned beef is chunked out into thin-ish shards instead of sliced like all of the other reubens.
the saurkraut is homemade; thick; crunchy; and tart af and the rye is also homemade and super tangy. i suspect that they make the saurkraut the same way they make mexican style pickled jalapenos/carrots/onions/etc.
they also make their own dressing and it’s got a fantastic kick to it entirely due to the fact that the entire staff is mexican; no one speaks english and none of the patrons are wasp americans. (you’re not welcome if you can only speak english).
i haven’t had that sandwich since 2009 and i still crave and fantasize about it each time i want a delicious sandwich so good that it makes you lick your hands clean after you eat it.
i’ve stopped eating reubens because they pale so badly in comparison that it makes me angry to be reminded that i paid for such a THOROUGHLY mediocre alternative.
Why can’t the U.S. buy decent sauerkraut at the store? Why must we make it ourselves or get awful kraut? Germany has a unique and delightful kraut for seemingly every town and village, but the U.S. has exactly one type from a handful of companies that all make it the same. Well, maybe two types if you count ‘canned’ but I don’t reckon that to be actual sauerkraut. What was the topic? Sandwiches? Well, if I could find a good kraut, I would spend my days trying to recreate a reuben-like masterpiece.
I know I sound like a corporate shill, but check out Cleveland Kitchen brand sauerkraut. It’s not as good as homemade, but it’s worlds better than that nuclear waste found in the questionable meat aisle of the grocery store or the cans.
I’ve had similar thoughts, and I don’t have a great answer for you.
On the one hand, it seems like we consumers are really spoiled. On the other hand, a lot of these platforms only have a small number of offerings people find worthwhile.
I’m not as disciplined about it as I should be, but I try to limit how many I have at one time. I will regularly unsub from ones I haven’t watched in a while.
Because the services are still only owned by a handful of corporations.
Disney owns Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+.
Amazon owns Prime Video and MGM+.
Warner Bros Discovery owns Max and Discovery+
Those three companies own 7 of some of the largest streaming services with a little over a half a billion subs between them. Netflix is the only exception to that trend, being independently founded, but they have their own issues regardless.
One of the big problems with this is there is no global shortcut for copy and pasting. At most there are the primary, secondary and selection buffers which applications can copy into and paste from. But each application handles the copy/pasting functionality in their own way. Or rather they typically let the toolkit they are using deal with it.
Klipper, the kde clipboard manager comes close to something like what you want. You can CTRL+C multiple times and it stores a history of everything, then you can assign shortcuts to cycle through the entries and paste them out again. All it is really doing is reading the clipboard when it changes, saving that value than essentially copying from that saved list when you cycle though it. So it would be possible to write something similar that has specific numbered buffers - but you would still be saving/loading into the primary clipboard which applications can then paste from rather than creating a new set of shortcuts to paste from each buffer directly into an application.
