So glad it wasn’t just me that immediately thought of him.

Exactly. OK, we get Biden again. Now use the next 4 years to REALLY push … for ranked voting, age limits for reps, or anything! Because you still can.

Right, instead we… should hop right through the meat grinder door? Why, because quicker death?

I don’t live in Indiana anymore but, I voted republican for the primaries because as a citizen I am concerned as to who will be on the 2 sides we currently have in November. I wanted to take my small stance in voting in that upcoming decision.

I think we should totally move to ranked choice and ditch the electoral college. This current, you don’t get a say in half of the choice till the end, and then could be over-ruled with a rogue electorate, is absolute garbage in this day and age.

Piping in with some odd history info. They were originally made to give theater patrons something to watch while the main film was re-wound. Theaters used to play the same movie on repeat all day until they got a new film, then it was that movie all day. There were no “move times”. If you showed up midway you just stayed until it repeated so you could catch the beginning. Also why news reels and other visual media would get played.

Psycho made the change to set times. Hitchcock did not want anyone to accidentally see the end without starting from the beginning. Shortly after that those movie trailers got bastardized into the ads we now know them as.

It’s still there but it is not the same. I spent waaay to many hours in weird places thanks to that stumble button. Still regularly go to KOL, which I found there.

Never leave them alone together and it should be OK. We had an adult who was just a little funny in the head. Big super fluffy orange tabby. We had a small candle in the middle of our coffee table burning. Somehow, this crazy head decided it would then be good, while we were watching a movie, to do his most acrobatic love stretches around our legs and the coffee table. As we tried to push him away from the table a little his tail was moving around like a little periscope, or feeler, or something… next thing we knew, as he finally did move away, there was a little perfect tiny flame on the very tippy tips of his tail hair as he ran off. Of course I jumped forward to put him out, which he thought was a chase game and took off. I was young and able to dive and tackle him to make sure he didn’t burst into flames or something. Just a couple burnt hairs, gross smell, and lost trust with me for the next day or so because of the tackle. He was super “special” his whole life and did things none of our other cats have. But, it put me on guard for the possibilities that exist and I’m super cautious with flames and fur going forward.

I haven’t been to any outside the US, and admittedly not that many in, with how many there are. So far The Musical Instrument Museum in Phoenix has been one of the most interesting to me and I didn’t see it all by far. There is a “petting zoo” downstairs with a selection of instruments you can play too! It was crazy satisfying to bang a big gong.

Night Cafe. Free to use but limited uses. Can log in daily for 5 coins, do other tasks for some more. I found it pretty easy to save up a few days then go on sprees of trying things. There is a totally free option there too but it doesn’t have some of the finesse of the coin use ones.

There are also daily challenges and community challenges, which I think are great to help with ideas. And some of the communities if come across are very helpful with things to add, or add as negative prompts, etc. There is a “group” of artists who leave their prompts open to see too. So when you look through or vote on the other art, you can click to see info and those folks have the prompts they used visible for that piece, in case it’s helpful to you.

Oh wow! The places they deem fit to try and cut corners. My manager at that hotel spent some time stuck in one our elevators after he"fixed" it himself and then had to have Otis come out.

Thankfully never, not sure how I would have recovered from that one! Did catch it pretending it was on fire a few times. It was alerting the local FD our alarms were triggered when on site, it was quiet an no burning was going on. They called a couple different times about it and even showed up once… in case I was lying? Bet safe than sorry I guess.

Might check into hotel reception too. I worked nights at one, and my main duty was making sure the building didn’t catch fire or disappear while waiting to do the audit and start morning coffee before I left.

Thanks! Some good info to know, when I go to try them!

Charcuterie’s are are always a win, especially with a bonus peanut butter sandwich!

I had to go look those up, I had not heard of them They look tasty but, damn they are a little pricey, at least in my area. Are they pretty good sized/filling?

If i have the time to wait on noodles, spaghetti is a staple. They even make frozen meatballs you can cook in the sauce while it heats up!

I have done the cup and my own bowl with it. I make sure to have my noodles broke in half in my bowl before I pour my water in, then egg. With the cup it gets a little messier because of space but still doable.

Totally replied to the wrong thought chain, I pour boiling water in my cup and drop the egg. Usually once it’s cool enough for me to handle, about 10mins-ish egg has cooked through
