Found my old prize, unplayed with and still in it's box, from a Mojo Magazine Quiz Night back in 2005 at the Hard Rock Cafe in London. I remember meeting some folks there that night for the first time that I am still friends with. I don't think our team actually won the competition but it was good fun and I gotta free Transit Van (toy) out of it!

Christ. Thought i’d try bowling with the girl but this place can go fuck itself.
Is this pricing normal?
- flol WUT?!Nairn
- Near $200 to have a line for two hours, wut?
I've bowled fuck all times in my life, and enjoyed each time and wtff?Nairn - that was not a convincing argument, i now realise, writ large.Nairn
- Maybe i should rent a tuxedoscarabin
- yep... a couple years ago my wife and I walked into a Bowlero in Scottsdale all excited until we saw the pricing... we walked out :(PonyBoy
- you're playing on the gold lane?
let me guess its for friday/sat night and maybe they have 1/4 price for Mondays?sted - all these things, bowling, ice skating, cinema, stuff that was cheap and fun, you now need a mortgage for.shapesalad
- Bowling is for deeply closeted homosexualscrazyprick
- Just go to a non-hipster bowling placeHijoDMaite
- Where was this? Some touristy place probably? In my city you pay 20 euro for an hour.milfhunter

Tattooing seems fun. Anybody try it?
You can get an entire setup for the price of one tattoo. Dickbutts for all your friends.
- Did you see that thing the other day about some young girl coming home with a dick pic on her shoulder because her friend bought a real tattooing kit?Nairn
- I did! Though i didn’t make the connection until now. Apparently i’m very impressionablescarabin
- You know how you can fill a note book with shit doodles and then recycle it at paper recycling bin and then get a new notebook to doodle in...shapesalad
- ...you can't do that with your skin. So imagine wearing a dorky doodled notebook permanently for life. That's what 99% of tattoos look like...shapesalad
- ... unless you go for the Japanese Yakuza style or those traditional island style things. But don't, as that's cultural appropriation.shapesalad
- There are so many idiots with exotic looking foreign gibberish on them. What's one more?pango
- I’m amazed you call yourself a designer when “dorky doodled notebook” and “yakuza” are the only art styles you’re capable of perceivingscarabin
- Also, tattoos have been removable for decades? Go get that tramp stamp, shape!scarabin
- I used to get asked to design tattoos a lot but always freaked out at the idea of the pemanence. Know a guy from Glasgow who just most to LA to do it though...PhanLo
- ...his dedication to drawing is pretty incredible. https://www.instagra… I reckon you'd dig his stuff too ScarabinPhanLo
- I used to have a tattoo machine, did some touch-ups on shit i could reach, but ended up giving it away to a guy that had his gear ripped offYakuZoku
- I wouldn't say it's fun. I mean, there's some cool things to do, but it's just a desert planet. SO. MUCH. SAND.Akagiyama

I believe I have all the essential tools needed for a great kitchen except for one - a Le Creuset 8 QT Dutch oven. Does anyone have any experience with off-brand alternatives? I’m not sure if I am willing to spend $400 at the moment.
- This is one instance where you should pay the 400. Archaeologists will find thing a thousand years from now, and it will still be perfectly usable.Continuity
- Definitely a case of getting what you pay for.Continuity
- Yeah you’re probably right.HijoDMaite
- picked up one for 30 quid at auction (local auction house) le creuset has no resale even in great condition.kingsteven
- I have the cuisinart equivalent. It’s identical quality and a third the price.monospaced
- ^ Not even close in qualityGnash
- For one, Made in China cuisinart has 1 layer of enamel. French made creuset has multiple layers of finish.Gnash
- You want to save a few bucks go for the Chinese knock-off, they’re ok. But for quality and longevity go for the French madeGnash
- “Identical quality” — You just make that shit up?Gnash
- If you buy the Chinese pot, make sure you check the finish carefully, look for bubbles or uneven areas. QC isn’t near that of creusetGnash
- Fuck, I'd never thought about buying second hand le creuset - durr. Thanks, KS!Nairn
- I have the 2qt, the 5.5qt and a big braiser. I file them under "by for life", because they will exists long after you're gone.garbage
- But also the 8qt? Flol, what are you doing over there, boiling babies? I can't even imagine how heavy that bastard is.garbage
- The 5.5 is about 12lbs, and I've been extremely nervous using it on an induction surface (spoiler, already cracked it).garbage
- Also if there are any small kitchen stores in your area, they probably have a return or overstock from a Karen. It's a thing.garbage
- I once dropped off some knives for sharpening, and the workers were joking about who's going to steal the discount Le Creuset.garbage
- I got a cast iron oven thing from Lidl, £30. Works same as Le Creuset / Staub.shapesalad
- Gnash I have both. Yes it’s the same quality. I didn’t make that shit up. Le creuswt is way overpriced. You are also paying for the name.monospaced
- My Le creuset already chipped. The cuisinart seems stronger. Smoother enamel too.monospaced
- yes the enamel has chipped a little on the edge, but this because I'm clumsy. if handled with care, no difference from the expensive brands.shapesalad
- get a carbon steel frying pan. and you have pretty much all you need in life.shapesalad
- I understand the Le creuset is “better” quality. I really do. But at the end of the day cooking I feel like they both perform the same. Thats all.monospaced
- Ya but they talking about dutch ovenpango
- You confidently say the silliest things! xoxocanoe
- Uggghhhh you guys should really move to discord. People kept cutting in line. Now nobody knows who's talking to who
+ We need more shit stirrers therepango - You can do anything
if you believe.palimpsest - No mono, they are not the “same quality” you may feel that they are, but that’s make-believe. You pay for better manufacturing, QC, materials and processGnash
- A girl can dream.palimpsest
- I got a lodge for $60 new after thinking long and hard on the le creuset. Very happy with that pickrobotinc

Sakura-con is this weekend.
It's an anime con with a historically horrific ad campaign that has been memed to death and back.
I usually go with a camera, do some people-watching / freak-pointing.
But this year I'm going all in: I have a creepy basketball mask. I'd put good money on somebody asking me what series I'm from.

What do you call a cow without feet?
Ground beef.
- A Moo-tant.scarabin
- P'tcha donor. But seriously folks, if you are ever offered p'tcha, politely decline.garbage
- It's a jello made out of ground cow feet, and when you taste it you will wish that Yahweh was around to put you out of your misery.garbage
- This joke is from my nephews children’s joke book. Kids joke books are actually super relaxing to flick through the pages.shapesalad

I think my boss thinks visual hierarchy is literally the top-to-bottom ordering of elements, without regard for size, contrast, etc. I went on vacation and came back to find one of my designs completely skewed to reflect that thought process.

If you had a cough and a fever, would you bother to test for Covid these days?
Is Covid any worse than a flu or cold?
Obviously we've learned to isolate and be responsible, but is Covid actually any worse any more and would it make you do anything different?

In an internal branding consult meeting; "branding territory" was called out as an offensive term because it brings to mind the land stolen from indigenous people here.
- Also 'branding' sounds aggressive, like cowboys branding their cattle with hot irons, or worse, slaves branded with hot irons. I'm triggered... outrageous.shapesalad
- was this perchance a white person? who was offended on behalf of the indigenous people? yet who continues to live on the stolen land?monNom
