  • "Hey, wanna go on a comic book store date with me at [store name] on [day of the week]?

    The ask, the expectation of a date (and admission of romantic interest), and a specific time and place. Don’t leave the question open-ended or vague. Then she can respond in a few ways: 1. Yes. 2. I’m not free that day; is there another day that we could go? 3. No thank you.

    This makes everything as clear as it can be, with little room for misunderstanding. And it’s not a dumb idea at all to have a comic book store date. If you have a hard time talking to girls, don’t talk to girls. Talk to humans who happen to be girls. They’re people, and you’re a person too, so you don’t need to overthink it.

    You got this! Good luck!






  • French toast. I’ve developed a terrible (as in, frighteningly bad for you) and amazing recipe by cranking up the fat content from other recipes and adding a little more spice.

    6-8 slices of bread (decently thick Italian bread is what I usually use, but obviously French bread is good for French toast) 4 eggs 4 Tbsp butter ¼ cup half & half 1 Tbsp real maple syrup (don’t you dare use fake stuff) 1 tsp cinnamon ½ tsp vanilla extract ¼ tsp nutmeg

    Leave the eggs and butter out so they get to room temperature. If the butter isn’t super soft, melt it.

    Whisk everything (except the bread) together well. If the ingredients are too cold, the butter will solidify in chunks. It’s also a good idea to whisk between batches to keep everything evenly suspended. Dunk the bread slices for good coverage and cook them up on a griddle or pan preheated to medium heat until lightly brown on both sides. Top the finished product with maple syrup or vanilla ice cream. Or both. Schedule a cardiologist visit. Enjoy.



  • It can save data by excluding data streams that you don’t need. For instance, I don’t need French, Italian, Japanese, German 5.1 audio streams that each have 700Mbps bitrates or higher, nor do I need an English 1.5Gbps master audio stream, a 700 Mbps English stream, a 500 Mbps descriptive audio for the blind, and 5 different special edition commentary tracks for a film I’ll watch once or twice. All those tracks can really add up, and torrent sites are often country or language specific, so remuxes might have original language and/or native language audio only.
