  1. Perhaps they weren't available in the UK, but the following are among the best in the US: All in the Family Mary Tyler Moore Show Bob Newhart Show (original from the 70's). I also can't believe nobody has mentioned Arrested Development. I don't think you need to be an American to appreciate it. Also, shout out to whoever mentioned Reginald Perrin.
  2. I already feel like I'm becoming a curmudgeon as I get older, and this just reinforces the feeling that I'm likely headed in that direction.
  3. When you buy cases of top wine from some of the most famous and expensive Bordeaux producers they actually send people around after a certain number of years to recork it to ensure the cork hasn't dried enough to let air in or deteriorated from contact with the wine and broken down and tainted it. (I do not know this from personal experience).
  4. You'll find it in here: Cooking for 1/2 the time and cooling and cooking for 1/2 time again will not yield the same results. The center will not get completely cooked because the heat of the oven will never have had enough time to conduct into the center and get it up to final temperature. The proteins will need to reach a certain temperature to denature, which is the process by which the shape of the huge protein molecules with their multiple folds and twists changes due to the change in energy impacting the characteristics of bonds between atoms and affinity and repulsion between various groups of atoms on the surface.
  5. That was a soft penalty. Maguire looking for an opportunity to go down.
  6. Wordle 1,040 3/6 I don’t think I’ve ever had all 5 letters with none in the right position before.
  7. You'll be living in a cave and subsisting on berries before long at this rate.
  8. Some clickbait rag claimed Chelsea want to sell Cucurella and Villa want him. Because, you know, a 4th place side are definitely going to be interested in a $65 flop who's not good enough for the 9th place side.
  9. Pure Project Otter Romp Murky Double IPA. Ordered because I liked the name. Not bad, though not very bitter for a double IPA.
  10. Not so useless information: the term "begging the question" does not mean what most people think it means.
  11. Yeah, people have short memories. We've had much worse, even fairly recently.
