Cant get over how good the new NIN album is. The world is falling apart and most people are at each others throats but if Trent can still put out a solid album like this there is hope for us all.
I have a fear of getting older so this is insanely positive encouragement that we don't all lose it as we step closer to death.

Right.
So, for the first in my, I've finally tried Chicago-style deep-dish 'pizza'.
Followed a recipe to the letter, dough and all (definitely one of the more novel uses I've put my workhorse 32cm Le Creuset frying pan through), and it came out as promised by the purveyor of the recipe (Chef John from Food Wishes).
Frankly, it's a 32cm pan-load of heavy meh. I'm not quite sure what the big deal is, here.
Also, it's *definitely not* pizza.
- *first time in my lifeContinuity
- It's funny - in Italy, at least in the East, 'Pizza' is often served at the dinner table, and instead of what I expect - it's a big lump of focaccia-like bread.detritus
- it might have salt or seasoning or some sort of light spread of flavour on it, but there's no mass of tomato paste, cheese and topping. I don't really get it.detritus
- American pizza ≠ Italian pizzai_monk
- Now I feel like I ate a brick, and need to sleep it off, after just one slice. Jesus Christ.Continuity

- Italians created American pizza.monospaced
- Although Detroit Pizza is phenomenal. Descendants in Toronto is fucking amazing._niko
- "Italians created American pizza" yeah to satisfy americans. Same as the Chinese "americanise" their dishes. They dont eat that shit themselves!microkorg
- Not entirely true, micro. Pizza neopolitan isn't that far off from a traditional NYC pizza, which is what it started as.monospaced
- I understand there is much of America that has shit pizza, but in NYC at least, we have authentic everything ... even Chinese.monospaced
- You don't think that NYC invented Pizza, and then Napoli took up the recipe, do you?detritus
- obviously notmonospaced
- I'm saying that dudes from Napoli who came to the USA made pizza in their style, which eventually became NYC style pizza.monospaced
- Right, ok! Sorry. When I was younger I actually thought Pizza, Hot Dogs and Hamburgers were all US-invented. Never judge by your own standards! :)detritus
- I'm curious. Does the UK have good pizza? If so, what style is it in, and what makes it good or better than "americanized"?monospaced
- We have some good pizza now - in the Italian style. Whether it's better or not is a matter of preference. I doubt I could eat better than Napolitan. Or NYC..!detritus
- I'd love to try an authentic Chicago deep pan, but it's hard to beat well-made street pizza from anywhere off the main tourist roads in any Italian town/citydetritus
- All that said, there's some damn good pizza out here.sea_sea
- California has great pizza, especially since the New Yorkers moved there and made a point to get it right.monospaced
- Good here as well. If you're ever in Seattle hit up Big Mario's, it's legit.garbage
- sad .. so many people think all we have is Domino's and Pizza Hut. couldn't be farther from the truthmonospaced
- New York style is still my favorite. Yum.sea_sea

the casual fashion worn by the ny aristocrats boggles my mind a bit.

(Read this post with German accent.)
I've been working with some German colleagues for a few days now, we have been talking in English the whole time of course, and I have adapted their German accent now. Strange how brain works.
- This happened to me when I went to Philippines. I started using broken English so people would understand me easier, but when I came home, I sounded retarded.DRIFTMONKEY
- It happened to me with my manager, most coworkers are from India and one day he was explaining something and I ended up saying it back with the same accent!!!Maaku
- He probably thought I was being an asshole :(Maaku
- shit. i can't read that in anything other than a shitty scottish accent.kona

Ugggh my ex is messaging me on every apps, really trying to find out if I'm going to her wedding...
I don't want to reply... And kind of scared to reply.Good thing I turned off all the read confirmation feature.
o_o- go, get drink, eat the free foods, wish her well in her future life.shapesalad
- And make her proud to have once dated you but combing that hair, wearing that sharp suit and charming the pants off all the bridesmaids.shapesalad
- *by not 'but'.. damn autocorrect.shapesalad
- still not solved ? why not just say no but wish her well ? she has a shitload of stuff to plan and might just want to know who's comingspl33nidoru
- Err... she wants a last affair with you while her husband is drunkOBBTKN
- jesus christ, you didn't RSVP no? that's on you, buddy :)monospaced
- ^ yup, just rsvp with a no. She's probably just stressing about seating arrangements.Gnash
- Give me her number, I'll answer nodrgs
- Funnier if continuity posted this...SimonFFM
- ^ lolOBBTKN
- Do exactly what shape says or simply say No.mugwart
- RSVP no, then crash it in costume.garbage
- Ya I'm not going. Also it's not like there's a webpage for me to click RSVP no. I think I'll have to tell her... But I don't want to. Lolpango
- Agree, no reason to go, you've already had your way with her...robotron3k
- Had my ways? Who talks like that?! Lolpango
- she didn't send you an invite?monospaced
- Can't imagine why you'd go. I'm still friendly with a few ex's, but there's 0% chance I'd go to their wedding. Weddings are a bore anyways though.section_014
- No invites.
Just messages on every social app I use.pango - go and tell her about QBN?renderedred
- Ya next thing you know, she popped up on qbn asking if I'm going to her wedding.pango
- Text back "Been there, done that." and she'll leave you alone for good. If that's what you want.Maaku

- the whole rewinding/forwarding thing sucks but tape textures can be nicedocpoz
- It forces you to really listen to an album without skipingBennn
- I still have a few cassettes of Smashing Pumpkins, Pantera, Metallica and such. Nothing to play them tho.Bennn
- I love(d) listening to full albums straight! The Cure's Disintegration, for example, was on repeat on my Walkman in rainy Sofia commutesKrassy
- Cassettes have been hip for some years now. They are not as popular as vinyl though. Some releases are cassette only even.soundofreason
- One of the labels that does cassette:

Tried to see Incredibles 2 in 3d last night. Would you believe the graphics card on the projector fritzed out? Blue and green bars flashing multiple times per minute as the movie attempted to play. I wasn't the only person to walk out. It was like I was at a buddy's place and he was saying 'dude, I almost got it, just wait'.

Can’t sleep.
Just had a cool rehearsal with a “band” we made up with some friends. Great energy, jamming, drinking, enjoying!
All that like 4 hs. ago. Came home, took a shower, went into bed with 8 month pregnant wife, read book, forced myself to sleep for 40 mins or so, and begun thinking about this absolutely ridiculous timeline for a monstrous campaign I will need to have ready in 72 hs.
- Woah... Good luck, and try to fix this sleeping issue or it's not going to end well. Crazy deadlines are worst... Arghhh!!OBBTKN
