Cucumber is better than lettuce on a BLT.

Cost per person, $5.10 8 oz of bacon per person.

Word.

We just moved from Williamsburg down into Newport News (both in Hampton Roads). Whilc Williamsburg has a surprising amount of stuff for its size - it’s a tourist town so that helps - still, the sheer increase in the amount of cuisines available to us down here is amazing. I’m having to limit our eating out due to budget needs, but there’s so much I want to try, and so much I’ve been wanting access to forever. lol.

We apparently have a couple of places (one that just opened) that are copies of one of the styles of bodega from NYC where they basically take a somewhat limited set of ingredients and combine them as many ways as they can, giving you like breakfast foods of all sorts, heroes, halal platters, sometimes fried seafood and other stuff. But they also do things like sell Boar’s Head sliced deli meat that they use on the sandwiches - it’s actually cheaper than I can get from the grocery stores.

And yeah - Sun and Moon deli in Newport News - you can find their menu if you wanna drool. Their lamb-over-rice is so tender, and everything is seasoned amazingly - the rice has some seasoning I can’t place but is delicious, and the “white sauce” and “red sauce” they put - the white is some sort of tzatziki in style, and the red is a tomato based smooth salsa but with some sort of middle eastern spices….. oh man, I’ve had two since we’ve moved here and I so want to order another one right now! lol

I hope you can get your lamb and ziki soon. :)

I only made it to Newport News like three times in the six years I lived in Norfolk. I hated Norfolk and the whole 700 Club PETA headquarters tidewater hell hole area. But I will never complain about the food. There was always some place that could fix a craving no matter how obscure it might be.

I think Strange New Worlds found its feet and has a good thing going. I hope Starfleet Academy will as well.

SNW didn’t find its footing, it was good from the start IMO. It’s touchy-feely but in a less banal way.

Honestly all I needed for the internet was Red Dragon Inn. Once that went away, what’s the point.

That would make for some interesting roleplay.

This affects me in ways I do not like.

Read his name in the credits then look him up in the library.

Though I doubt that would work for this.

Oh baby.

Digg’s officially launched now for about a month and it’s… really underwhelming.

Check their equivalent of Hot.

The “Most Dugg” posts by upvotes as of this post:

+110, +107, +89, +86, +84, +84, +79, +79 (roughly in the last 24 hours)

As compared to Lemmy/Piefed/Mbin as seen on Lemmy.world (Top in last 24 hours):

+1.22k, +952, +855, +751, +669, +646, +620, +612

That’s really poor from Digg honestly.

IKR it was weird and ridiculous

I understand how probable things can be, but good lord, I would be so aggravated if people judged me based on my father’s politics

Yup, you sound exactly like me! I think others can be put off because of the things you highlighted, which I also overuse. I’d rather come off as jovial in my writing than mean or angry. If that means I gotta use old school ASCII faces, I’ll overuse the shit out them! ;)
