Here’s a Big Think. I used to drive 4 miles to blockbuster then pick out a plastic coated VHS, then play it on my plastic coated VCR on my TV that was at least 10x the width of current TVs.
Then, 3 days later, drive like a mad racer with no brakes to get back to the Blockbuster 2 minutes before they closed.
And that’s just like the other 80% of America who don’t have trains, buses or decent bike lanes. So kindly FO on guilt tripping us for our streaming habits, TYVM.
Relationships are incredibly important for living a long and fulfilling life.
One of the most common regrets of those nearing the end of their life:
“I wish I had stayed in touch with the people who mattered.”
It also has a protective factor to your health too.
Now, does that mean that you have to force yourself to like those extended relatives? No, of course not. Just like any other people, you must make the assessment whether these people are on the whole a benefit or a deterrent to you.
But being a family member often grants you a quick on-ramp to foster those relationships.
We all often say it’s too hard, we’re too busy. And I’d argue that if you find value in it, then you’re going to do it with intention and make the time.
I agree. I was an early adopter. It’s a compelling idea to have a public ledger, but so far it’s been terrible execution, and what a disaster for the environment.
The three disks thing that symbolizes database, with a down arrow on top.
Or if we’re really going for the abstract, a knight in armor fighting a dragon with a lady behind him.
Be the conspiracy theory you wish to see in the world.
Putin told him to start IVing children’s blood.
It is not going well.
This documentary about the Japanese Holocaust on the Chinese. It got demonetized because of the details and unfortunately TIFO has stepped back somewhat from their long form documentaries partly because of it.
And when you’re done crying to that, here’s something a little more light hearted from Jim McKenzie that went under the radar.
Yes, please let the US, a country 1000s of kilometers away, interfere with your union affairs. I mean, our Union over here is just going so damn peachy.
And then, after you break apart, give us your tired, your poor huddled mas … oh that’s right, we’re not doing that anymore. So feel free to FAFO once you do.
I thought it was invented by John Campbell, right before he saved the Japanese from corporate sabotage.
And his dog, Chunky.
Man, he loved that dog.
Sure, ok, but more lethal to whom?
The Thing is a Christmas movie.
We are all living in Cthulhu’s world now.
Good. Let the ones who can, survive. Not be swarmed by zombies.
High quality Greek yogurt. The flavor and texture is very much noticeable.
I’m starting to realize high quality organic coffee is a thing too.

Best bet short term is to rig something that dulls the noise. A few insulated panels would do, so long as the heat isn’t too intense, but will have the unfortunate effect of reducing the heat to your residence, so you’ll need to augment that somehow. If there’s air in the line, then it’s probably not working to its fullest potential anyway.
Long term, I agree with everyone else. Have the super hire a professional. This is not one you want to DIY, especially while it’s operational. I’ve done carpentry, wiring and plumbing. I’d never touch steam, doubly so while it’s running.
Pumpkin is one of my favorite things to add to chili. It serves as a thickener and makes the flavor richer, more bodied.
Chopped Sweet potato is a vegetarian chili addition. I’m personally mixed on it, but it compliments the beans well.
Beans and rice has been the poor man’s nutritional meal for millennia. Throw in a plantain or chicken or tofu occasionally for supplemental nutrients / protein. Add hot sauce for heat. Don’t forget to add salt to taste.
It’s cheap, nutritional and has the added benefit of being tasty.
Chili is another option - tomato, beans a can of pumpkin as filler, maybe a sweet potato. Pepper and onions for taste and some TVP or Beyond Meat crumbles for some chewiness…or ground Turkey if you eat meat. It’s simple and can sustain you for a week. Spice it up with chili powder and cumin, maybe some garlic salt and a lime. I made a crockpot full the other day. There’s a reason cowboys out in the prairie ate this stuff.
Right? If I had a mom like that I’d be depressed too.
Oh wait, I did, and I was.
