  • Refrigerated fresh vegetables are much better than canned. Somewhere in between the '50s and today refrigerated got common and cheap and there was no excuse anymore for buying that soggy canned shit. I would’ve said the '90s were well after that point though. Anybody using canned green beans as a side in the '90s was just coasting on momentum and bad choices I think.

    (There’s reasons to use canned – they make a good soup ingredient if you’re going to boil it to death anyhow, and they store better in your disaster prep bunker. But as a simple side for dinner, not a good choice.)




  • American here who studied German for eight years, graduated with a minor in German, and lived there for one year:

    I’m not sure how to properly translate this children’s book.

    The long word breaks into easily-understood pieces:

    “help-ability-extinguish-group-travel-thing”

    But in order to get a proper concept back out of it you need to know what order the pieces go together in and I don’t know that.

    travel-thing is a vehicle.

    help-ability is emergency services

    Beyond that I have to guess — Is group-travel-thing a crew vehicle, making this a crew vehicle for extinguishing?

    Or maybe extinguish-group is a fire crew and this is a vehicle for fire crews?

    Either way I feel like the author is using a lot more word-parts than they should have to for what is (clearly in the picture) better described as a pump truck.








  • (Not a woman): my partner does not like receiving oral sex or other kinds of sex where she is mostly passive/receiving, because she doesn’t like feeling put on the spot and obligated to react.

    If your partner has been not getting much from sex for a long time now, then she is also probably feeling a lot of pressure to change and behave right and react as expected which would be not pleasant for her.

    Maybe ask her if she wants to play a game where she reads a book out loud (sexy book or bit sexy book) or play a cozy video game or some other activity where you get to enjoy yourself playing with her body for potentially a long time, and she has something else to pay attention to besides her own sexual performance? That would probably also go well with deep toys on low power as well.

    Just, maybe avoid Call of Duty for this one. It has to be a lazy activity she’s doing. If her attention is successfully diverted 100% to the point the sex is an irritating distraction then that’s not any fun for anybody


  • That would be super awesome if navigation apps had profiles.

    Like, when I’m driving my car I go the speed of traffic or maybe a little fast.

    And when I’m driving my motorhome I go 65mph tops and really slow up hills.

    But totally nobody does this. Even the RV Trip Wizard app (built around Here navigation) makes you choose between “I drive XXX speed on average” (ignoring actual speed limits and conditions, just assume constant speed) or just assume normal traffic.

    Why can’t they recognize that different drivers drive differently???
