Collapsing barns are a big thing here in Michigan. There was some dumb deconstruction law that you needed to have a contracting license to tear it down. When they need a new barn, they just cut through the supports of the old one and let the elements collapse it. Not usual to see a brand new silo / animal enclosure a few dozen feet away from one that's at a 45 degree angle.Bonzo posted:¼ cup of baking soda This man knows his stuff.

LOL, this pic brings back so many memories. I always loved to try new restaurants, but they always had the same decor of "random outdated pop references and antiques" nailed and strung up to wherever the eye can see. I swear when one of these places goes out of business, they just put it all in a giant crate and give it to the next guy opening a restaurant.

All of my friends’ parents had bar basements! They were there for social reasons, but everyone kinda discovered that the house where they played poker was the only one that actually got used, and being the guy who owned that bar got expensive pretty fast.

Pittsburgh Fentanyl Cloud posted:There's decent plant protein that apes beef iirc, like the Butler Foods soy curl stuff. Just to be clear, the sixer was for the first sentence, and not the second? The second I completely agree with. There are some new-ish vegan foods that were made to try to replace the staples... some of them are actually pretty tastey, but they are in no way a substitute. Honestly, weird vegan foods that come from years experimenting in a lab is actually modern Americana.txt

Pittsburgh Fentanyl Cloud posted:Detroit may be unique in that it's the only economically healthy city in recent history that was just wholesale abandoned due to demographic shifts. Both sides of family are from Detroit. Both sides left the city after the riots. It was really the triple whammy of rising crime, insane interest rates on loans/mortgages, the ability to get insurances, and some of the worst political leadership in the country that lead to the mass exodus from Detroit. My grandparents decided to move when there was a guy killed by automatic fire gun (either an Uzi or a Tommy gun, depending on which of their neighbors you believed) at one of the bus stops, and none of the cops would even show up. After the riots, the cost to get anything done sky rocketed, and there wasn't really anything Detroit offered to make it worth staying, so all injection plants left for Dearborn, the concrete plants left for the Northwest, the scrappers, smelters, and forges either moved closer to the oceans or just lost their shirts altogether to a rebuilt Europe, Russia, and Japan, and we even lost our shipping yards to Chicago's much better planned management. Those were the fatal blows that made it go from a metropolis with a segregated populace to a Scooby-Doo ghost town. Continued mismanagement made sure Detroit stayed that way (with a handful of exceptions).

That's a perfectly acceptable plate, with the exception being the mostly eaten mozzarella sticks/ poppers. That man has no business flipping them off. Harold's looks pretty bottom of the barrel, but their prices match that. I respect the more frugal of us.

I feel like even if you check it or not, it doesn't really effect your odds. They also never require any documentation that you have any of those conditions. I'm technically not obese, but I checked the drat box anyway. Maybe I just look really fat

The tomato is also served with minimal preparation, which is also a very American thing to do. The customer may have specifically asked for NO CILANTRO, in which case the cilantro makes sense.

Bismuth posted:When I went to memphis the offerings at the grocery stores were pretty poor, the grapes were squishy, everything was a little wilted, and the fruit all looked a couple days past its prime. It was weird. States that dont touch an ocean are weird Depending on what chain you went to, your mileage may vary. There's a massive squeeze right now for grocery stores between high end retailers (whole foods, etc), subscription stores (costco/sam's club), and all the dollar stores. Some of the grocery chains end up buying only what's left after the first two take their pick, which sometimes leaves them with really sad produce when the growing season is not in its prime.

The eating with small bites to curb your appetite is a real thing. Your saliva is the first step in digestion. I would tell you to chew your food as biology intended, but this is the thread, so biology can kiss my 'meriken rear end.
