One of the things I’ve found that’s helped me is America’s Test Kitchen. Seriously. They test everything thoroughly, explain why things work and what’s commonly done wrong, and give good clear instructions for doing things.

I’m a stimulation seeker when it comes to food, but I also have the need to understand why recipes work or fail. I made ATK’s jambalaya recipe with my partner and it was easy because of their directions (use a food processor to chop veg, here is how you know when the meat is ready, this is why cooking rice doesn’t always work), and super delicious. We bought the cookbook that has all the recipes from the show, and I keep finding new recipes to try that satisfy my need to know.

Also, anyone who says prep your ingredients before starting to actually cook is 100% correct. It’s really made my cooking so much better and less stressful. I love to cook for myself and my partner now that I can prep thoroughly beforehand.

Por que no los dos?

Migas! It’s a TexMex egg dish.

Beat eggs with salt, pepper, and cumin. Let them stand for 10 minutes, then dice a jalapeno and an equal amount of onion. Fry them for a couple of minutes, then add minced garlic. When the garlic is just fragrant, beat the eggs back to foaminess, then add to the pan. Let them set for about 45 seconds, then add a big dollop of salsa and mix. When the eggs are almost done to your liking, add a handful of cheese (I like cheddar or Oaxaca), and crumble in a handful of tortilla chips, the more stale the better. Let everything sit covered for a minute or two, then serve!

I like mine with extra jalapeno, and if I’m feeling saucy I add chorizo.

Comfort Eagle has some great songs but I agree, Pressure Chief has the best flow overall.

I was one of the people who did my homework exercises, and still do (mostly). It’s worked well enough.

I’ve mentioned it elsewhere, but I saw Akira when I was four and my brother was three. Our dad picked it out because “animation is for children”.

I can’t remember much of it but it left me with a deep distate for body horror and nightmares for literal weeks.

Pickled cherries? That sounds delicious! What spices do you use for them?

This is exactly it. Unfortunately, lenders don’t review documents the moment you buy the car, and I can confirm my job has had to do “return/repurchase” transactions for customers when their lender said “mm, nah” days or weeks after the purchase.

If they try to bond the title, the state will reject it and the lender will step up efforts to fuck them over for trying to circumvent the process. Circle of sovcit life.

And the final one:

I’m a man.

But I changed.

Because I had to.

Oh well.

Quando Omni Flunkus Moritati. When all else fails, play dead.

Crypt of the Necrodancer on steam is a fantastic rhythm game, and you can use your own music on it. The switch version is portable, which is a plus, but there’s no ability to swap your music in.

I also second Theatrhythm! Final Fantasy music is almost universally gorgeous.

It’s true, but they do exist!

Something Awful has been around since the very early 2000s, and they charge $10 to get an account, and the same to reinstate a banned account. It’s actually pretty nice because the fee tends to keep all but the most dedicated trolls from doing anything particularly stupid. And yes, I know they created 4chan, but the main forums are trying to be better people over the years.

It’s not signed yet, so they haven’t paid for anything. The sales consultant believes they’re actually paying in ‘cash’ (which for these purposes could mean certified funds or a non-CarMax lender) and gave them the bill of sale to show them the amount needed.

It’s unorthodox but I’m impressed by how happy the bunnies seem. It’s hard to bond two bunnies, much less a trio.

I talked to my therapist, and she referred me to a doctor in her clinic who specializes in educational neuropsychology. I know I’m lucky to have been able to see someone so easily, and my diagnosis was pretty quick.

It depends on the state, and whether he’s financing the veh- excuse me, ‘carrier’. Although I’m definitely sure that where I work, he would be politely told that he needs insurance, a valid license, and there’s no way he’s leaving with a TRP instead of license plates; he can’t transfer plates that are not recognized by the state, and he doesn’t live in another state that would let him leave with temp registration.

They treat autism as a disease to be cured, which is a disgusting way to think about it. Their founder also claimed that it’s “possible” that autism is caused by vaccines, which is scientifically disproven. There are also no autistic members of their board, which means no actual representation for the people they claim to want to help.

I have a pretty consistent internal voice, but I have partial aphantasia as I can’t “picture” things. I think/remember in sensations and words. My best friend for years was an art student, and she was profoundly confused by me not having images in my head the way she did.

Agreed! I’m also grossed out by the people who would get the Passion tea (which is made with hibiscus and lemongrass, and is very acidic) with heavy cream. It curdled damn near instantly and was just… nasty.
