People paying American dollars to let other people know they didn't agree with someone's position on something is the lifeblood of these forums.
Unlicensed importer of forbidden Italian maggot cheese isn't glamorous work, but it pays the bills.

The maggots, starved for oxygen, writhe and jump in the bag, creating a "pitter-patter" sound.

It reminds me of when Ashens tested out a food-sealing machine that shrinkwrapped food in a vacuum by wrapping sausages with it, having control sausages with normal sandwich bags/clingfilm, and comparing how they survived 3 months in his fridge. The machine sealed sausages had an interesting aspect in that there was clearly decay, as the bag had inflated over time so gas was being released as the bacteria broke down the sausage, but when the bag was ruptured, there was absolutely no smell. Apparently, Bacteria making things rot isn't what makes the rotten smell associated with off food, but some interaction that that process has with the atmosphere. Starved of atmosphere, no smell.

I always heard smell was a function of taste. How did it taste?

I was considering doing DIY prosciutto, so I looked up the recipe.

Take the pork leg, soak it in a brine for 3 days - Check
Hang it in a cool, dry place for 9 months - check
If there's mold on it, that's fine, just cut it off before serving - ehhhh...
If there's maggots, cut that chunk off and it will be fine - never mind.

Dumb marketing move: the Venetian casino is using the Veruca Salt song from Willy Wonka to advertise their stately pleasure dome.

I'm sure they didn't just forget it was an example of total assholitude, though, so it might actually be brilliant.

Phone posting but it’s a detection scheme for captive portals. If iOS can’t resolve captive.apple.com/something, it assumes the page that does load is a captive portal login page.

IDK if the above is http or https; if it’s http you could slap something together on your internal network.

My Android phone can tell between captive portal and "internet's broken" and in the latter it just carries on using mobile data.

Is this not the Onion thread?

There's this audio log in Metal Gear where this old man praises the hamburger he's served and appreciates the added preserves in it, because the old man himself is riddled with a bacteria hive-mind. I think he had a point.

Isn't that because it's exactly like the lovely-rear end hamburgers he remembers from his youth at crappy hamburger joints?

which when I come to think of it doesn't seem to quite line up with how old the guy is, dude's old as hell and MGSV takes place in 1984, iirc so these hamburgers the guy is remembering would be from like the 20s or so

I'm going to say I like the implicit message of 'this is what your food would look like without preservatives so shut the gently caress up'
