My favorite is the time god smites a dude because he was an asshole.
But then, like, his brother needed to get the wife preggo* and didn’t so he could inherite all of his dad’s shit, so he kept up with some awesome pull out game**… so god smites him, too.
So she goes off without a son cuz the daddy ain’t doing his thing either… until he goes to war… then she becomes a camp follower (aka prostitute.) seduces him, gets preggo, takes his banner as proof; or something… and the. Comes back with a son…
*levitate marriage. Widows without children where basically not taken care of… so, the idea is the brother gives his son an heir, the widow can take care of the son’s inheritance, blah blah blah)
**that never works irl. It’s almost like god just wanted to smite another asshole…helped him out a little.
Like seriously. Because a guy one time pulled out because he was an asshole and wanted the inheritance that would otherwise go to his “nephew”… which would have (and did) cause his brother’s widow go into destitution, so god smote him.
Also… side note… that’s the kind of world they view as ideal.
It’s just my anecdotal experience but writing off my comment as me justifying a purchase (that I haven’t made) is just silly and lazy discussion
Somebody made that purchase, though. dismissing the cost point for apple products because you didn’t personally fork over is… amusing. Also, most vendors configure for windows, aka the OS with the largest market share of desktop computing devices. Some vendors (like epson), who cater to photography or graphic design will also ensure it works in Mac, but as noted elsewhere, the drivers for the printers in MacOS and linux are the same- CUPS. if printer compatibility is what you were looking for, you got taken for a ride. (this is not to say there aren’t valid reasons for living in Apple’s walled garden…there are… it’s just printer hardware isn’t one of them)
Okay skip that. I’m going to wish for an automated droid processing plant/factory with design files of every known class of ship- and the defiant, just to fuck with people.
Hmm. I think the first thing I’ll do, is give a few to Ukraine. You know. Just to demonstrate their total superiority. Maybe install kill switches so they have to come back for maintenance periodically. Like John Deere or something.
Then get all the “good” guys addicted to them so all the “bad” guys get fucked… Then hit the kill switches and demand everyone stops being fucking mean.
Maybe give them a few of the crappy battle droids from the prequels, so they’re autonomous and can’t necessarily be hacked.
Successfully made shoestring frenchfries. (and I’ve officially used it more than they have…) (thin-cut-sticks, salt, olive oil or whatever, fresh thyme. Air fry at 400 in the wire basket.)
I love mine. Breaking down whole chickens to refreeze makes sooo much more sense. Also, you can prep sous vide… stuff… and freeze for when you’re ready to use it.
I got a diamond sharpening rod from wusthof as well as a universal knife block. (knife block, but instead of dropping them in slots, they have plastic stick-things inside. you can make your own with skewers,though.) they’re great if you’re not gonna be bothered with buying the full knife set. I only use 3-4 knives regularkt (Chef knife. paring knife, boning and carving knives. And the carving knife is only if I’m showing off…)
pork tenderloin. brine it, cut it into rounds, and brown it. (on heat setting. in the pot. doesn’t have to fully cook. you just want to build up a fond, and a nice sear.) in a spice bag, add onion, cilantro orange and lime zest, a couple cloves of garlic, some peppers (I halve them and remove the seeds. You can use whatever. I go with 1 serano and 1 habenero, some of the heat cooks off later.). to the pot, squeeze the orange for it’s juice.
Pressure cook it for 30 minutes or so. Discard the herb. You should be able to pull the chunks apart loosely. put them on a baking sheet (preferably with a cooling tray under it. Parchment helps keep things clean.) “baste” some of the juices on to it- it’ll drip down and the steam will help keep it moist. It doesn’t take long in the oven, you’re looking to put some more color on (the pressure cooking removed the crust,)
muts are the best-est. We had a half-goldie-half-stray that was absolutely the best dog ever.
Though, to be honest, I imagine ‘best dog ever’ really comes down to proximity. The closer the dog is to you- figuratively and literally- the better the dog. details.
I mean… I don’t use quite that much stock. (or rather, maybe I do, but, like 10qt frozen lasts long enough to get enough scraps fro the next 10qt…) 10qts once a month or so, or 20qts twice that… doesn’t really make a difference.
