In the US, you can only choose 2 of those things. Add a third, someone is going to die.

I have a buddy that went Amsterdam. He’s a bigger dude and the FIRST thing he told me about his trip was “you have to fucking bike everywhere”. Sounded wonderful to me but his tone of voice suggested otherwise.

Finally a cause I can support! Waiting for the Allium Manafesto to drop. I heard its genus and makes people cry like babies.

Four French cooking terms that upped my game was…

1. Mise en place. Everything in its place and prepped before cooking.

2. Mirepoix. 2part onion to 1part celery and 1part carrot and a little salt to draw out moisture.

3. Fond. the baked on bits bits of food that you deglaze using a liquid like stock to make…

4. Sauces mères or Mother sauce. 5 famous French sauces.

Demi-glas gets an honorable mention and is one of the simplest things you can do to make a dish seem fancy as fuck. Great for date night beef short ribs.

I found that if I opted out of personalized ads they started showing dick pill ads with half naked women asking my kids if they wanted to get rock hard. Turned personalized ads back on and it’s divorce lawyer ads from my divorce two years ago. Lose/lose.

What’s the Department of War? Was there an act of congress I missed or are we just normalizing the insanity at this point?

I once got a scam call saying they were going to “send the cops” after me. Who? Words have meaning. Next you’ll be changing the Gulf of Mexico to “The pond of Bullshitastan” and Canada to “USA Light, sponsored by Bud Light”.

Feathers in a concussion grenade would be hilarious. Fuck you chatG.

No shit! Same… add to that the best healthcare, transportation, and a personal assistant.

I have a cousin that made a turkey sandwich while waiting for pizza rolls to bake, all in his sleep. It was weird to watch. He had no idea the next morning when he woke up snuggling with it all in bed. To this day he swears we did it to him.

I’m going to guess you didn’t come from an Asian household? There’s almost always a rice cooker running or on keep warm. The kids find it weird when there’s no rice immediately available. Also, it keeps the bacteria at bay while you’re taking a nap.

Came here to reply “like… up the ass?”. I like you friend.

Ah yes, raging against one’s own machine. Next you be stealing copper from the DC guys just to get your cube mates a Keurig.

Also, why is his beard packed with chow mein from Panda Express?

What? So was one person was flying and the other was leaning out the canopy with a weapon? I’m so confused.

After 17 years of contributing to Reddit, I got perma-banned after a few warnings about some mild stuff. All of these infractions were immediately after the IPO.

1. Showing my No Kings med bag including personal self defense in a concealed carry, no CCW state. Gotta be careful out there.

2. Suggesting a good “Christian nation”would break the Gaza aid blockade for the children.

3. Suggesting a large limo company in Texas was being ghetto as fuck by strapping on window AirCon units to the sunroofs and calling themselves “luxury”.

The final blow…

4. Describing what 4chan (with an emphasis on /b/) was like in the early 00’s. I’m a little trigger shy so let’s do this… everyone who joined /b/ was a (homosexual f word), if you had been around a few years you were an Old (homosexual f word), if you were new you were a New (homosexual f word) and EVERYONE knew, New (homosexual f word’s) couldn’t triforce.

That last one contained explicit language but the poster wanted to know what 4chan was like. I tried my best to answer and that was just a time capsule too far.

We have something similar in the southwest called Earth Ships. These homes are made of soil compacted used tires and a stone/mortar mix or sometimes aluminum cans and mortar. In the summer a large south facing angled window runs the length of the house doesn’t see the sun all summer and in the winter, the sun’s angle changes to allow all the light/heat in. We got way more than an 8° difference, 100% passive, at 130F° outside… and if you know anything about the Sonoran Desert, you know the nights can be deadly cold. You can actually go hyperthermic when the temps drop to 100F° immediately as the sun sets. Earth Ships stay stable all year long.

Like “he’s here for a good time, not a long time” kinda thing?

I think you’re putting that fillet on a pedestal. No flank is worth ceasing to exist😆

She will quite literally absorb the male until he’s nothing but a pair of gonads hanging off her side and she just takes the sperm when she wants. The male ceases to exist at that point. Brutal.

A PC that exclusively runs the OG Battlefield 1942 and Desert Combat mod. A flight simulator, like the really nice ones. Two seater Initial D arcade. A hammock. Mini fridge just for Sunny D and the purple stuff. A pair of Bose 501’s. NBA Jam, Super Street Fighter, and Tempest arcade cabinets with an epoxy starfield floor where I can work on my bikes inside… and everything would glow under black lights. Last but not least, a super nice couch where I will neglect everything above and just dick around on my Steam Deck.
