The clear implication is that we need a WomeRap counterpart to the PokéRap
Comcast always puts its upload speeds in tiny print and you have to click through like two layers of the site to find them, so this'll really help people immediately understand how shit their upload speeds are
Whoa, I honestly had no idea what the lyrics to Fortress Europe were beyond, "Keeping banging on the walls...of FOR-TRESS EUROPE!" because that's probably all I could make out while playing Need for Speed: Underground as a kid.
We got a right, know the situation
We're the children of globalization
No borders, only true connection
Light the fuse of the insurrection
This generation has no nation
Grass roots pressure the only solution
We're sitting tight
'Cause asylum is a right[...]
They got a right, listen not to the scaremonger
Who doesn't run when they're feel the hunger
From where to what to when to here to there
People caught up in red tape nightmareBreak out of the detention centers
Cut the wires and tear up the vouchers
People get ready it's time to wake up
Tear down the walls of Fortress Europe
you joke, but...
I found a thread for this in a Harley-Davidson forum and one of the responses opened with
They can't even figure out what gender they want to be.
They don't know how to drive a manual.

Boban seems like a nice fellow, so I could get behind this
Well it was nice knowing y'all
Aside from the incredible story, I was surprised to learn about the Unification Church ownership of the New Yorker Hotel building. I stayed there a good while back (needed a cheap hotel on short notice), and while I can confirm the rooms are absolutely tiny I had no idea that I was sleeping atop the Moonies.
Whenever I go to NYC I always think back on that trip, since the New Yorker Hotel sign is one of the first things you spot when emerging from the Lincoln Tunnel, but now I'll have something else to chuckle about.
I just tried the turning off method and it worked great on my electric smoothtop! Brought the water to a boil, put in my pasta, left in on for three minutes, and then covered for the remaining seven minutes. It did boil over a bit after covering, but that's on me for setting too high a temperature after adding the pasta. Still came out perfectly al dente! Now, this was with Mueller's, which is an American brand that I find significantly better than the standard US-produced Barilla even though it's a bit cheaper (highly recommend giving it a shot!), but I wouldn't call it fancy--will be interesting to try it with De Cecco and see if I encounter the gumminess you mentioned.
If anyone is curious to see fellow Hexbears' attempts at this, check out this earlier thread!
