I discovered that a few years ago and wow it makes for good sandwiches.
Wagstaff
Does a hot dog count as a sandwich?
Tawnee
I invite you to investigate The Cube Rule, and see what it does to your own opinions.
Clif
It makes my opinions three times as strong.
Or something like that.
Decidedly Orthogonal
At first I thought it may exponentially complicate things, and while I don’t immediately subscribe to the chosen labels (sushi in particular seems inside-out if one considers sashimi or seaweed rolls, otoh, I suppose sashimi toast makes sense, but I don’t see the solution to seaweed rolls, since some of the ‘filling’ is outside the burito). But, I like where they’re going and can see good things coming from The Cube Rule.
To answer Wagstaff’s query, according to the cube rule, a hotdog is a Taco.
Clif
A hotdog on a bun is a taco. A hotdog by itself is a salad.
Needfuldoer
Hot dogs may belong to the sandwich family, but since the halves of the bun are still connected they’re in the same genus as tacos and pita pockets rather than burgers and clubs.
Alaric
I always find it weird when people refer to the who think as a hot dog. To me, the hot dog is the sausage-y thing that’s ON the bun. A hot dog on a bun is a hot dog on a bun.
thejeff
It’s both, like many things.
If you buy a package of hot dogs, you’ll just get the sausagey things. If you order a hot dog at a place that serves food, you’ll get it with bun.
Burgers are the same way. If you ordered a burger, you wouldn’t expect just a meat pattie on your plate.
zoomer296
If hoagies are sandwiches, then a hot dog can also be classified as a sandwich.
Clif
A hoagie is just another word used in place of the correct ‘submarine sandwich’ which is a sandwich.
A hotdog without a bun is still a hot dog. A hoagie without a bun is just a mess.
Needfuldoer
They’re also grinders.

The world has been debating this meme for years. It’s meat between two pieces of bread, so; yes.
Honestly, I’ve heard mixed things about the company itself, but Dave’s Killer Bread really is good. It also seems like it should be fairly nutrient dense, with a lot of whole grains, and no highly processed flour.
The 22-grain (or whatever the number is) makes great stuffing base. And it’s good on meat sandwiches. But it’s a bit heavy for cheese sandwiches, PB&J, things like that.
Orowheat whole-wheat is what actually lives in my house most of the year.
People still believe in that stuff? Whole grains contain lectins that prevent you from taking up the vitamins & minerals & whatnot.
Grass seeds aren’t apples. They haven’t evolved to be eaten. Quite the opposite in fact.
If you have enough of wheat flour, try rye flour.
zoomer296
Dave’s Killer Bread is an apt name, considering how fuckin’ dry it is.
Clif
Not that whole lectin myth again. The only lectin that’s been shown to be at all harmful is phytohemagglutinin, which normally only causes temporary gastronomic distress, and that’s when it hasn’t been cooked properly first. On the contrary, lectins have been shown to provide some protection against cancer. Not to mention that many of the foods with high lectin content provide healthy fiber, phytochemicals, minerals and generally have been found to correlate with a lower risk of heart attack and stroke and a lowered risk of premature death in general.
If your worried about rheumatoid arthritis specifically or have a food allergy, maybe minimize the wheat. But generally, the lectins are bad for you myth is just quackery.
deliverything
I’m a little late and no expert on this stuff, but just wanted to point out: at no point in that post did eh, whatever say lectins are harmful, but merely that they inhibit the absorption of nutrients. https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/anti-nutrients/lectins/ seems to support BOTH your posts, actually: that lectins have health benefits but make the nutrients less accessible.
My local grocery has a store-brand whole wheat that I would buy pretty much regardless of the price, but it’s way cheaper than the name brands. Like $1.20 a loaf compared to $3.49 for the name brand.
Also I don’t quite understand Joe’s sort of contradictory thoughts here. On one hand immediately acknowledging that Sal is “absurdly hot” but also stating that her resemblance to Walky is something he can “get past” as if it’s a problem? Like I’m almost getting some slightly bi repression here. Sal is hot and she looks like Walky. Deal with it Joe!
I understand his motivation, my thing is Sal and Walky look alike so logically isn’t the same features equally appealing on both of them. Joe says “Walky with boobs” like it’s an issue, but to me that’s the deal you sign when you’re attracted to a Walkerton sibling. Danny gets it.
Clif
See, now to me, Joe is basically saying Walky with boobs being hot is what is absurd but yet true.
It’s like how evolution and the accidental creation of life by the time-traveling Cheese dropping a candy wrapper with bacteria can both be true.
Yeah, this. All he’s got is to mess with her a little, and he’s gonna take what he can get.
Spencer
He wasn’t really trying to flirt with Ruth either, or at least that was the impression Joyce inferred to the audience. He just says “ur hot lmao” because that’s his Fun No Feelings Sex Bro persona.
Look at any beauty product ad and it is obvious that ‘hotness’ can reside in the face.
I’ve read that a symmetrical face indicates a lack of serious diseases in childhood which signals ‘fitness’ in the evolutionary psychology sense.
HOWEVER…
When someone looks at you in a certain way, with a smile or even a smirk that screams ‘I am thinking dirty thoughts – about YOU!” then the face is attractive – no matter what convention aesthetics might say.

MARTIN’S POTATO BREAD, MOFO

King’s Hawaiian which I didn’t even know they made sliced until I saw that Guy Fieri commercial.

Their rolls are pretty good, but I swear by my grocery store’s bakery rye bread, especially when making grilled cheese.

I miss Klosterman’s tbh.

Wait, hold up, they make, like, regular loaves of bread of that stuff, not just rolls????????????????????

Yep! It’s the perfect PBJ bread 🙂

“Danny, get over here! No, stand over HERE! I’m facing the other way now, the shirt won’t work!”
Sirksome
Joe’s an optimist. Also I guess Jacob is around. Maybe we’ll see him at some point.
jeffepp
Joe is confused. Danny? But, Sal is hot! Danny?
TheKelliestKelly
Sal proving that she knows at least one person’s name other than her brother’s.
Doctor_Who
Joe either doesn’t know Sal’s, or just considers the description more appropriate.
Keulen
I get the feeling she knows more names than she lets on, but she just prefers her nicknames for everyone.
TemporalShrew
“Danny? Danny who? Is there a *cool* Danny around here somewhere I don’t know about?”
Thag Simmons
Joe has been handed a golden opportunity to fuck this up.
Also, yay Jacob still exists.
He Who Abides
Pretty sure that Joe is psychologically incapable of cock-blocking friends.
Thag Simmons
Deliberately, sure, but I think it’s been established that Joe is a garbage wingman.
Wagstaff
What about that one time during science class?
Keulen
He seems to be pretty good at accidentally cock-blocking though.
Spencer
What if when Danny and Sal break up on the Got Dumped Stairs Danny starts dating Walky.
Reltzik
No, the rule is that whoever DUMPS Danny has to date Walky next.
…. this might cause some problems.
Spencer
That’s why Danny is taking initiative.
Now he gets to date Walky, otherwise if Sal breaks up with him she’ll have to do it.
JBento
“Danny taking initiative” HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA
Geneseepaws
Have your upvote
Sirksome
Also I don’t quite understand Joe’s sort of contradictory thoughts here. On one hand immediately acknowledging that Sal is “absurdly hot” but also stating that her resemblance to Walky is something he can “get past” as if it’s a problem? Like I’m almost getting some slightly bi repression here. Sal is hot and she looks like Walky. Deal with it Joe!
Imogen
I think it’s more that he thinks Walky is a weird little toxically-masculine manchild who dated his stepsister?
Regalli
‘Unfortunately, your brother’s personality is so obnoxious it rubs off on you by proxy, since I know him way better.’
Spencer
He says she’s “absurdly hot” in private but when talking to her throws the “Walky with boobs” line.
He’s probably negging, or maybe this is the best flirting he can muster since Joyce pointed out that shot he took at Ruth was barely an effort.
Sirksome
I understand his motivation, my thing is Sal and Walky look alike so logically isn’t the same features equally appealing on both of them. Joe says “Walky with boobs” like it’s an issue, but to me that’s the deal you sign when you’re attracted to a Walkerton sibling. Danny gets it.

See, now to me, Joe is basically saying Walky with boobs being hot is what is absurd but yet true.

I think Joe has figured that he has zero chance with Sal
june gloom
Yeah, this. All he’s got is to mess with her a little, and he’s gonna take what he can get.
Spencer
He wasn’t really trying to flirt with Ruth either, or at least that was the impression Joyce inferred to the audience. He just says “ur hot lmao” because that’s his Fun No Feelings Sex Bro persona.
eh, whatever
Since when is hotness a property of the face?
thejeff
Since always?
I mean, it’s not the only thing, but it’s definitely a big factor in physical appearance.

the faaaaaaaaace?
Pylgrim
Joe is over-joeing in a desperate attempt to put out of his mind the recent revelation that he has romantic feelings for Joyce.
drs
Also he’s snarking at someone throwing rocks at his window.
Brumagem
All of the above comments, plus maybe a subconscious admission that Walky is hot too.
Joe M.
Holy shit, she called him Danny.
Regalli
That’s how you KNOW she’s serious!
Rabid Rabbit
Technically, she referred to him as Danny. Until she does it to his name, she can still keep her cred.
dinajoyce
She already did though https://www.dumbingofage.com/2021/comic/book-11/05-as-long-as-its-free/figured/ and it was very sweet
Rabid Rabbit
OK, so long as she doesn’t do it to his face in front of others.
And yes, I know how filthy that sounds. Perverts.
Clif
You’re the one who made the comment. You’re the one who knows how filthy it sounds. We’re the perverts.
It’s a fair cop.
Rognik
The indignity of having to actually use his name! How low she’s been brought!

Honestly, I basically love what the comic has done with Joe and (to a lesser extent) Danny. They’re extremely funny now.
