There was a burrito shop that had a frequent customer card that you could use to earn points towards a free menu item. You could register the card online and for whatever reason you could add multiple cards to the same account.

A friend of mine realized that if you registered a new card they would give you a decent chunk of points just for signing up, then you could merge that account in with your existing account and get free points.

Every chance he got he would grab handfuls of the cards, activate them all, and get tons of free food.

It confused me a little too, removing both n't-s makes it easier to understand.

He does say much that was cut out.

I do this, but recently had the realization that my small percentage of cash back is sourced from the fee the credit card company charges to the vendor. After this realization I now prefer to pay cash when dealing with small local businesses. I've even found a few places that will give you a discount for not using a credit card which is quite nice.

My wife says I pronounce crayon wrong. The way she says it, it's a single syllable word that is the same as the first syllable of cranberry. I say it as two syllables: cray-on.

Being fully honest, I've started drawing it out and articulating both syllables more because I know she doesn't like it.

I know many sports games a lot of the adverts are imposed digitally before broadcast. I don't watch a lot of sports, but I would certainly enjoy watching more if there were an option to disable the added adverts.

Similar to the nail polish suggestion, they also make clear spray paint.

Is it you and your memory just isn't as good as it used to be?

I expect the potato, tortilla chip and chicken are all pretty common. They all are pretty mild tastes that tend not to clash with the wide range of flavors hot sauces seem to have.

 

I realized every time I get a new hot sauce, I usually make potatoes and eggs for breakfast and try the sauce on that for the first time. Not that I think it's a superior method, I just noticed it's something I do.

What about you?

What's your go-to method when you get something new?

I agree. There are tons of resources out there that will tell you how to do it and typically they come with plenty of comments from other people telling why the particular example is wrong. From there you should be able to piece together a lot of the common mistakes, and understand how not to make them. If you can't understand the why to any of them, perhaps it isn't something you should be trying yourself.

Just wear loud clothing so everyone can always tell when you're moving. Something like corduroy pants, a windbreaker or a cowbell.

Yep, I'm going to have to try this.

I found my old TomTom GPS in a box last year. I struggled to find a reason it might be worth keeping. In the end it got recycled.

I was never big on photographing my food but I found this one particularly pretty. It was over a decade ago, and I don't remember what restaurant it was. Somewhere in NYC.

Wash before using (lemmy.world)

I just noticed the cucumbers I bought say "wash before using" not "wash before eating" and I want to believe it is a subtle joke deliberately made by the person who designed the packaging.

I found it amusing and I wanted to share it.

 

I find most foods are best as soon as they are made, but some things seem to get better when the flavors have more time to meld. The only two I can think of right now are chili and hummus. What other dishes am I forgetting, or haven't tried that you think get better with a little time?

I want to replace one half of this with longer wire, but I am not confident about the name of the connector used.
