Onion gravy is pretty easy

I think it's credited as one of, if not the first, show to flip the sitcom formula on it's head in terms of protagonists. Before, shows were about good people having to deal with conflicts and coming out on top. Seinfeld was about bad people creating conflicts and then failing to resolve them. This is particularly evident in the finale when the show ends with them all in jail instead of each character getting their own happy ending.

Looks like a makeshift Mapo tofu

If you have a Mexican market near you, check out the bagged spices section. There's usually tvp in decent sized bags near the dried spices and it's really cheap.

Yeah, but it's almost never a VHS camera in the movies, and now often a smartphone video.

POV when using binoculars has two circles, which isn't how it looks when you actually use them. It should be one circle.

Camera footage that's played back in movies as part of the plot always has the recording icon, time code, etc burnt into the footage, which should really only be visible on the camera monitor while recording, not during playback and especially not on another device.

The Murderbot Diaries series by Martha Wells is a collection of short books in the first perspective of a cyborg. You might enjoy that.

Many electric bikes, like the Specialized pictured in the post, are pedal assist with no throttle. They simply make you go faster and have a range of adjustable settings for acceleration response, power, etc. You can get great exercise on them for sure, especially if a rider would otherwise be adverse to getting on a bike.

If you like Naked Gun, check out the show Angie Tribeca

Try out Shokz bone conducting headphones. They are awesome, you can hear the world around you, and the app has a vocal booster mode that makes listening to podcasts much better. It works really well on my 1.5 hour bike commute in traffic with road noise, and I can still hear the cars passing by.

You could wear your Apple Vision Pro on the date and use Tinder AI to get live prompts like a modern Cyrano de Bergerac.

I used to live down the street from The Giving Pies when they first opened. They make great pies and the staff were really nice. Sucks to see this news!
