    See, that's my question. I know what raw celery tastes like, which is not much at all. Is it actually adding much or anything to a dish? I posit that if celery had flavor worth a damn, more people would eat it raw in spite of its terrible flossy texture.

    It's just C++ without pointers and everything is passed by reference. ;) Also, MUCH better standard library support. That one is not sarcastic.

    I'll admit I haven't had egg salad in a long while. Potato salad with celery is evil though.

    Celery is almost always used as an aromatic, so it's usually softened somewhat. I'm not sure I've had a dish where I could feel the texture of the celery over other ingredients.

    Gravy's Cooking Thread

    My wife made a recipe with celery in it recently. We were trying to figure out what to do with the leftover stalks because you can't just buy the amount you need. This prompted me to think: has anyone ever tasted something and thought "could use some celery"? More specifically, if I made a...

    How to use imgur

    I did not, nor currently do not, see where you said or inferred that this feature was going to be on a "wait and see" basis. Expecting people to see other threads, especially those in separate and rarely browsed subforums is a bad idea. It's a legitimate concern that a two week trial doesn't...

    Can you think of a topic we can discuss without derailing into butt fucking?

    Your wording implies derailing in butt fucking is a negative thing.

    I don't think counters need to be that strong. I mentioned Loatheb or Secret Eater, but no way do they need to be THAT powerful. I'll admit it's not a completely thought out idea, more just a reaction to inability to not play into bad turns due to tempo loss. I play a lot of arena and that...

    Eat out for food you can't make at all(or well). Be it you're missing the equipment like a smoker for bbq or a salamander for really good steak, or you just fucking suck at it like sashimi. I'll gladly pay for those types of foods. Otherwise, fucking overpaying for food that's handled by at...

    @Dragonaut I wanted to continue our discussion from the ESL thread, but this is obviously the better place the continue that tangent. I want to make sure we're arguing the same specific point. I think in a vacuum, Freeze Mage is good. It's not a simple deck, non-obvious choices to be made...

    What do you do?

    So lie. Looking for something new. Last company wasn't a good fit. Your company and/or position looked interesting. Basically, don't denigrate your previous/current employer beyond reason while also using that as opportunity to express interest in the one you're interviewing for.

    Oh, I'm sure they were biased, hence why I was posting there ;) On-curve minion play sounds boring, probably will get boring, but the alternatives you list are worse. Freeze mage is one of the examples of what Hearthstone did quite wrong. It's the pinnacle of uninteractive and quite...

    Elder Scrolls - Legends (Card Game)

    I dismissed this game at first because of how much time/money I've invested in Hearthstone. But nearly everything I've read about the game says it's categorically better than Hearthstone while still not dealing with the RNG aspect. Is there anything objectively worse about this game compared...

    It's not. Chicken tikka looks intimidating because of the amount of ingredients and a higher than normal amount of them(mostly the spices) likely not being in your pantry. But once you get past that, the recipe is not difficult at all. Brown the meat, saute the aromatics, deglaze, simmer for...

    How's that a counter to ghoul? If I ghoul your kindly, it's essentially playing a 3/2 beast for 2 mana. Any other 2 drop played on turn 2 lives through the ghoul. Also, how does a 1/1 on turn 2 not matter? That's horrible tempo, akin to skipping the turn unless your opponent played a 2/1 on...

    Kindly Grandmother is slow but good value. Currently, hunter only exists in the meta because it can pressure fast warrior decks. So, I'm not so sure we'll see much of that card. It could fit in some yogg/n'zoth hybrid though.
