    I haven't seen them all, but I told everyone in my circle to please watch The Amazing Maurice. It's a good adaptation, not a great one, but if enough people would go and watch it legally, there's a higher chance more adaptations will come and it could be a win for all.

    Please give The Amazing Maurice a chance. He only needs one. Or two.

    Saw this question over in r/Reddit: “If you could get one more season of a TV show, what show would it be?” | What show(s) would you choose?

    Bojack Horseman. They managed to wrap it up in a neat-ish way, but I do believe that the show would have benefited from having one more season to delve into Bojack's issues with his father (they've covered his mother).

    Oh yes, his recipes are good. They're not flashy, but they're usually perfect for my pantry. I'm also happy he's now ventured into using East Asian and SE Asian ingredients, like miso and fish sauce.

    undefined> Kebab

    It's all the additives to these otherwise quite wholesome ingredients that make them less healthy and not as nutritionally dense as they should be. McDonald's burgers are not JUST meat, bread, and some veggies unfortunately.

    It's not a bad thing, isn't it. I think the goal should be that the whole world is stable enough that no one is worried about their next meal and everyone has the privilege to ruminate about gender.

    Here's my favourite salad: Juice two oranges and half a lemon, put in a big bowl. Thinly slice three apples, immediately put the slices in the bowl with the citrus juice. Grate 1 cm of ginger if you like it, mix in. Add in cooked beluga lentils, however much you want. It stays crisp for about three days in a good fridge. I tend to use a mandolin to slice the apples, so they're chip sized - smaller pieces get soggy quicker.

    It's also great as a side dish.

    As a rule, I don't compare tragedies by the number of bodies, but I agree with you. It's distasteful, but it is what it is.

    It reminds me of the devastating floods in Pakistan that got some attention for sure, but nothing compared to the billions of dollars that was donated within hours of the Notre Dame fire.

    But he runs away and towards interesting times and dangerous situations. The most relatable hero, that man. Who wouldn't run away when confronted by the kind of things he run into.

    It's a lot of salt, processed meat, and the salad bar at a normal kebab shop is not filled with nutrient dense vegetables. If it's me, I'd eat it as a takeaway and spread the meat over three days' worth of meals and up the nutrient content with broccoli and nuts.

    Classic! Long time Chef John's subscriber here. I was there before his channel and "his brand" was partnered with Allrecipes.com

    As to his lilting speech - you're right, it used to be less pronounced, but over time it became part of his brand and it's just so entertaining. I love the cadence, love the "you are after all the (rhyming word) of your (foodstuff)". He has great recipes, perfect for every day meals, this chisaupepo, for example, is in heavy rotation in my household.

    Dios. What a dark figure saddled with a dark fate. He's basically cursed to live the same life over and over again, no wonder he's insane. I think the implication is that he created all the Djelibeybian gods, and the reason these gods existed at all were because they were the ones that were always recreated by Dios. His staff of a snake eating its own tail is apt.

    Is it possibly because I came over from lemmy.world?

    I do like The Last Continent! To me, the level of absurd hijinks there is about the same as Going Postal - not my favourite, but it seems to be beloved. There were more posts talking about the exploits of Moist anyway. Now, why is that? Is it the case, that Moist von Lipwig has a lot of vocal fans and Rincewind, our early hero, is not as popular anymore?
