Windwaker had a ton of content cut. The ice island and fire island were both supposed to be full dungeons. Both of those incomplete dungeons later ended up being used in Twilight Princess.

Tap for spoilerHyrule Castle was supposed to be a full dungeon.

The tower of the gods was supposed to be longer.

I can attest that the tacos in their taco kits have shrunk considerably. We're usually left with a few taco shells after mostly using a taco kit, so we'd buy another kit and a loose pack of taco seasoning for the next time around.

I didn't take a pic but last time we did this, the tacos from the new kit were 3/4 the size of the tacos from the old one. That's the last taco kit I'll ever buy from them and I was mad enough to send them a complaint.

The seasoning on cast iron is polymerized oil and it's chemically bonded to the iron. You're only really going to be removing the seasoning if you're using abrasives or scrubbing too hard with steel wool or something like that.

Any loose bits of black gunk that are coming off while you're cleaning it with a sponge or a scrubby are just burnt food.

Letterkenny. My wife who grew up in Eastern Europe was baffled at how hard I was laughing and I had to explain that it was just barely an exaggeration of my experience growing up in rural South-Western Ontario.

If you're not from the area, you'll probably want to watch it with subtitles, because the dialogue is fast and the accents are strong.

When I'm thawing meat, I usually put a sheet pan under it to catch any leaks or drips.

It's an image of a scene from the Clue movie:

Col. Mustard: Are you trying to make me look stupid in front of the other guests?

Wadsworth: You don't need any help from me, Sir.

No. No, no, no. Under no circumstances should anyone fuck Elon Musk. I cannot emphasize this enough. Elon Musk should be left alone to go fuck himself.

Under the Influence is Terry O'Reilly's show and he's usually really good about sourcing things. Pretty disappointing, honestly.

I did some research on this when I was hunting for stainless cookware and I would stick with three ply.

Three ply stainless pans have an aluminum core with stainless steel cladding. At least for the brands I was looking at, five ply stainless pans are alternating layers of stainless and aluminium, where each of the two aluminum layers is half as thick as the aluminum core in the three ply pan.

In the course of my research, I learned that stainless cladding is great for ease of cleaning, durability, etc. but for actual cooking performance, it's the aluminum core that's doing the heavy lifting. The stainless steel layer in between the two aluminum layers makes the pan more complex to manufacture (and therefore more expensive) and doesn't help (or actually harms) the pan's performance.

Yep. Exactly right.
