With this upcoming Super Bowl Tom Brady will have played in 18% of _all_ Super Bowls.

For those who may not know, this year's Super Bowl will be the 55th.

@imgn Thanks. This is nice.

@openess @deneb A reasonable assumption -- not that I am nice (I am) -- but that I'm another guy mansplaining things. That was MY Bad. Sorry.

I don't like to assume, & so I will offer advice with good intention. When I ask questions here I find it easier to ignore the "known" advice I *expect* to get in the *hopes* that someone will tell me something that I didn't know.

HOWEVER, that is privilege, and I am aware of that. And I should have known better. Mea culpa.

Thanks for your kind reply.

@openess perfectly reasonable.

Didn't mean to poke my nose in. As @deneb (hopefully!) will tell you, I just try to be helpful -- and am quite aware of how that can be perceived by strangers especially with cis white males like myself. So even more sorry as we haven't been introduced!

I know there are challenges with most sharing methods either security or file size (or both).

Please accept my apologies and good luck! ☮️

@openess @deneb Have you tried: https://wetransfer.com ?

@habmala @openess Yeah, smother it with a pillow or equivalent ... drown it?

@deneb I do not heat the brine. It can make it easier to dissolve the sugar and salt, but it isn't necessary.

@deneb Ok, so for a medium onion, I would use ~1/2 tsp sugar, 1/2 tsp salt, and about 3/4 cup of vinegar (white, apple cider, or even rice). Then I would only add enough water to cover if necessary. But it is optional.

The second comment in the thread is another reason I left. People fishing for "favorites." And then people use favorites as a way to measure if a comment is worth reading. Especially in long threads. I was guilty of this. There's too much to process so one scrolls looking at favorites and then only reading the ones with high counts. Ugh.

@deneb I just use sugar, water, and vinegar and then let is sit in the fridge for a bit.

@deneb Make your own facsimile?

Excellent post by @adrianhon which explains some (but not all) of the reasons I left MetaFilter. He was the rare bright spot for me.

Idea: Korean-style dumpling restaurant in Montreal named “mon Dieu, mandu!”

@ItsTheManOnTheMoon send thoughts, vibes and hugs.
