Frog has long been a slur for French people. I leave it as an exercise for the reader to work out the rest.

Mic drop.
That’s not realistic. They’d never use real names like “Bobby”.
Reminds me of how I warm up premade naan bread from the supermarket: I quickly run it under tap water (like, a second, maybe two if I’m taking it straight out of the freezer) before placing into a pre-heated oven that I immediately switch to broil. The water gets absorbed, making the inside soft and moist even as the outside crisps up.
Not a sitcom, but for Star Trek 3: The Search for Spock, which opens with Spock dead from the previous movie, if you watch the opening credits, at the point in the sequence when Leonard Nimoy would appear credited as Spock, there’s a longer pause. (Nimoy still appears in the opening credits as the director)
Could stay technically true with a pun:
…and the love of my wife, Justin.

What’s the point of smartphone colors that will get completely covered by the phone case? And don’t tell me phone cases are not necessary, I’ve accidentally dropped my phone enough times!

Users have somehow been trained to ignore and dismiss error messages. Probably from getting too many ad pop-ups.
When my mom roasts a turkey, she puts onions, leek, celery and, yes, carrots around and under the turkey. She uses a rôtissoire that keeps most of the moisture inside, such that the turkey essentially bastes itself during the roasting.
Once the turkey’s done, she takes it out and uses the mix of juices and vegetables left in the pan to make the gravy. Sometimes, she’ll add one or two pouches of turkey gravy mix, especially if there’s a lot of people to feed and she wants to have more gravy, but sometimes, all she does is purée the veggies into the juices, maybe add some water and corn starch to thicken everything, and that’s our gravy! The carrots definitely add a sweetness, not to mention color to the gravy.
shutz@lemmy.cato Programmer Humor@programming.dev•top 5 unsolved problems in computer science15·22 days agoMy own pet peeve is UI components whose associated action is divorced from the components interaction feedback.
For example, a button that seems visibly pressed (even lights up! Maybe there’s even audio or haptic feedback!) but once you release, nothing actually happens because you were supposed to press it or hold it down for slightly longer.
This even happens with physical controls: in some elevators you can press a floor button such that it lights up momentarily, and even beeps, and yet the elevator doesn’t register the command and you have to press again, longer.
Seems like a pretty roundabout and convoluted way to say TACO.
