I'm argentcorvid most other places (not Instagram though, that person is not me) I hang around on #metafilter and reddit I don't plan on posing much
American living in Rural Central Iowa. I don't really post much.
He/Him, 2 kids, no longer catless
its the test case for sending whoever they want to the gulag.
I like how they think that a million government workers can effectively be replace by a chatbot that can "summarize an email"
And is named Epic because of Epic (Mega)Games
Now kiss
wipes shitty hands on curtains
yes, I am in terror of finding out who!
shit, who is even worse than this guy that they have lined up?
KEXP.org - public indie radio out of Seattle. Has good shows over the course of the day. I really like the afternoon show (1 pm pacific time) on Thursday. The DJ does "OG Thursday" where he picks a group or artist and highlights songs that sample them.
Thecurrent.org - kinda the same deal out of Minneapolis, but also different
Both available on their website or through the https://www.radio-browser.info/ database
It knows you were never going to look at them again anyway
<shudder>
RE with QWOP controls(bart simpson voice) The exports of Libya Iraq are numerous in amount. One thing they export is corn, or as the Indians called it, "maize". Another famous Indian was Crazy Horse. In conclusion, Libya Iraq is a land of contrasts. Thank you.
joking aside, sorry about America.
taking over? already happened, bro
I just did some drumsticks last night.
before you start, make sure you have a tin can or glass jar for oil disposal.
soak your meat in buttermilk for several hours. shake with heavily seasoned flour. <- this is where your "recipe" will come in. Salt, pepper, whatever kind of herb mix you like. allow to rest for a while so the flour sticks. preheat oven to 350°F in a large frypan put in enough oil for about an inch of depth. don't use olive oil. vegetable oil is fine, others will give a different taste. other common ones are peanut oil and crisco shortening. heat the oil over medium-high until it is around 375°F fry chicken in batches until brown. turning pieces after 3 or 4 minutes when the pieces are brown all over, put each on a rack over a sheet pan (or just a sheet pan with foil or parchment paper) bake chicken until done to 165°F, maybe 20 minutes
you can also do "oven-fried" which isn't quite the same, but gives good results without the mess of the oil.
get a controller frame like a GameSir and do some emulated gaming.

Burnout 2 or 3. Because the object is to either crash or cause crashes.
the soundtrack was killer too.

At work, if we want to use a USB drive we are required to use one that has a hardware pin pad and onboard encryption. So those exist
uhhhh that's not how everyone does it?
I think "Rotato" might be an actual brand name.
"Inspired" by / re-done from the B-movie film "Moonrunners"
nope, just the leaves.
My Easter Cactus decided to grow as a regular cactus for just one segment.
Just this one segment is like this. The whole rest of the plant, including segments further down the branch are normal.

What is this tool I found at a thrift store?
The two arms are sprung so that as you push on the handle they separate, and then return to position.
grape tomatoes!

Smoke Detector False Alarms?
My house is pretty new, 5 years old. It has interconnected smoke alarms in every room (11), as required. I believe they are all First Alert brand.
We have been getting false alarms from them about every 3 months. Most of them are in the middle of the night which isn't fun for me, and really terrifies my kids (6 & 8).
There is no apparent cause, no cooking is going on, no dust. They go off for a while and stop on their own. Some of these are CO detectors, but we had the Fire Department come out when it happened one time and they tested and everything was fine.
When they are going off, I can't find the one that is causing it because they are all going off. However, on these the "ready" light blinks red if it has been triggered in the past, and every one of the units has triggered based on that. I actually permanently removed one because it triggered 3 times in one night. I thought it was a bad unit, but it just happened again at 5 this morning with a different one.
Nobody has died i

Simple brown sugar brine for about 4 hours (forgot to start it before bed), then coated with melted butter with Penzey's Mural of Flavor and Galena Street.
225° for 45 minutes with Sam's club "Competition Blend" pellets in the box. Then 350-ish (max I could get out of it) for about an hour and a half with no smoke until breast was at 160°
Used the drippings for gravy for mashed potatoes.

Made some fried tenderloin at the wife's suggestion. I knew there was a reason I married her.
Wife said I should make Tenderloins/pork fritters/schnitzel for dinner so I did. Double breaded with seasoned flour and then saltine cracker crumbs. Gotta have pickles and mustard! #cooking #deepfried #pork #tenderloin #yumyum #foodphoto #food

Nice night to sit out on the porch

This year's peppers and tomatoes.
Someone dumped their extras on us and I don't have a plot dug, so in some buckets they go.
I have grown Romas and Habaneros in double-bucket self-watering planters before, but I didn't have enough buckets this year. This is only half of the plants we got, I passed the rest on to my parents.
They are: 2x Serranos, a Jalapeno, a Sweet Black Hungarian, and a Bell pepper. Also 2x "heirloom mix" tomatoes, 1 Roma, 2x Abe Lincoln and a mystery tomato .
