We’d need less land for crops generally if we were allotting it to human food instead of livestock feed.

Onions should be in everything savory with melded flavors.

Because we use the land that could be used to grow enough food to feed many people to grow food for cows, which then feed fewer people. By buying into this system, you’re propagating inefficiency.

Isn’t the Defamation League just the friars club?

I don’t know anyone dumb enough to find out. That is viscerally unpleasant to imagine doing. It’s some of the most sensitive tissue on your body and you’re supposed to sit directly over water that was boiling a few minutes ago?

Yes, though you mostly need to watch out for raw/green potatoes, and most cases of potato poisoning are not fatal.

I think most of the nightshades can be poisonous/deadly in some way- eggplants can be bitter enough to upset your stomach if you don’t prepare them right, tomatoes are just a mutation away from being poisonous, and peanuts are highly allergenic. AFAIK, only one person has died from capsaicin, but he had a heart condition. That one will still definitely fuck your digestive system up though.

Don’t forget his brother, Rabbi Chang.

I was super proud of myself last month, because I saw the leaves of a potato plant for the first time and my first thought was that it looked like tobacco. Turns out, tobacco’s also a nightshade!

Botany is fucking weird, but especially nightshades: staple carbs, deadly poisons, fucked up psychotropics, nicotine, capsaicin, a bunch of semisweet edible berries (from physalis to tomatoes to eggplants), and of course, peanuts.

They’re fucking monocots, so way the hell removed (like onions). But none of these plants even share a family, order is the closest it gets.

They’re as closely related as a human and a lemur.

The Spanish just got confused between the names batata and papa and called them similar names. Yams are even further away from both sweet potatoes and potatoes.

“Señor Chang cheatsheet” should bring it up if you need it again

A fitting end

If you’ve voted, you’ve essentially agreed to the ToS

Chuck made the right nickname choice

As a programmer, that phrase tends to raise my blood pressure.

Completely understandable. But it really is quite similar to an excel macro that I used to use for a job. The source information is obviously different and I could see it being difficult to readily access, but I figure if someone can program something similar in excel, it can’t be that complicated… perhaps that’s just as loaded a phrase. I am familiar enough with excel to realize that I don’t actually understand how functional it is, lol.

That sounds like it would be a pretty simple program to create a replacement for if IMDb’s data is scrapeable, but I don’t know anything about programming

You’re clearly overthinking this

That is the joke, yes.

Also just for any kind of sales, honestly. I’m always surprised that regular customers at my bakery like being recognized, but they generally do. I was once in the Taco Bell drive through and the cashier asked me how I get my hair to grow so quickly (I grow it out until it’s long enough to donate, then chop it off and start anew), which implied a very long term recognition, so I stopped going to tb for a few months, because I hated the idea of being observed. I’m autistic and not especially social, though, so I can understand that I’m the outlier here.
