It's less of an issue with true hardwood like maple. For all the talk of bamboo dulling knives, I think it's actually fairly soft in term of porosity.

But the place I always notice it is in pancakes, for whatever reason. My partner will make a big mess of pancakes for the kids on the weekends and stack then up on the cutting board, and if I grab one off the bottom of the stack, it very noticeably will taste of onions and herbs.

Good advice. It does depend on your environment, though. I live in the mountains where it's super dry all the time, and we basically never get mold on anything. As long as it's not literally dripping, I can put a cutting board away in a cupboard still wet and it will be bone-dry in an hour.

For real. Our bamboo cutting boards are ok, but after a few months of use we can only use them for savory dishes, because everything tastes like onions

And Russians. Very stable geniuses and Russians

I mean, I frequently don't understand content in this community, but this one has me totally lost.

What am I... What am I looking at here?

I never thought he’d do it on purpose

Me neither; not because he's better than that, but because I didn't think his ego would let him pretend to take the L. Jokes on me! It seems like his handlers and the billionaires he surrounds himself with are (just) smart enough to play his ego to their own advantage.

As someone mentioned earlier, this reeks of a "pump and dump" scheme.

  1. Trigger an easily avoidable economic crisis
  2. Watch the stock market tank
  3. Wait for you and your oligarch friends to buy assets for a song
  4. Cancel the "crisis"
  5. Profit

The fact that Trump pretended to be unaware of the effects of the threatened tariffs on the stock market is pretty indicative of him knowing exactly what the effects would be...

Oh, Goddamnit. I'm gonna upvote you, but I want you to know that I'm not happy about it.

...

And just because I can't resist being the "well, ackshully" guy, I think the little blinking line/box in a text editor is considered a cursor, so you'd have to remember punch cards to be a true precursor (or at the very least, the era before keyboards, but I'm sure someone can correct me there)

Man, I just started Man on the Inside by Michael Schur with Ted Danson, and it's pretty good, but it's not The Good Place. Looks like it's time for another rewatch

Folks, if your boo:

  • Calls their personality quirks "functional groups"
  • Tests you by demanding you elucidate their mechanisms
  • Has unexplainable peak splitting between 0 and 10 ppm

That's not your boo; that's an organic chemistry

Remember when Republicans were whinging about “unelected bureaucrats” and the “shadow government”?

Connection: Mordecai Jones is a side project of Link Wray, and is part of the legendary "chicken shack sessions" where Link and his close family and friends recorded 3 albums of material in a chicken coop they converted to a studio.

I highly recommend the whole collection of recordings as Link Wray is one of my favorite guitarists of all time.

If we're doing days of the week, then I'll go with a song by one of the most criminally underrated bands of all time, which experienced a resurgence due to its inclusion on Netflix's Wednesday

 

Connection: Ike.

Notes that you send in the mail are called letters, and letters are also called ABC's

 

Another one from The Weakerthans (which is a side project from the bassist of classic punk band Propaghandi, John K. Samson).

This whole album is incredible. Samson is just a master of storytelling, and the lyrics are simply top notch, if a little pretentious from time to time. Then again, I like a little literary analysis with my music, so it's just perfect for me.

 

Continuing the "cities" theme

 

Slim Shady takes me back to the days of middle school, and everyone can agree that Em is pretty fly.

 

Connection: Satirical, Bass-heavy, dance-punk song about people that are not nearly as cool as they think they are.
