The Internet’s own douche.

Baby corn goes up to Pop corn and asks:

Dad, where do babies come from?

Q

The Thing is a Christmas movie.

Pretty sure he would have been Sonic.

We are all living in Cthulhu’s world now.

Good. Let the ones who can, survive. Not be swarmed by zombies.

I’m going to be controversially somewhat mixed on this. There are a significant amount of people who go into the financial sector, make a decent amount of seed money, pair up with some other highly motivated people who also are passionate about a thing, and then start up a business. It can be an excellent networking opportunity.

Sure, there are certain megalomaniacs in this world, but I feel that most people want to seek out opportunities that fulfill them.

Don’t knock it til you tried it.

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.

Well, it has to be this one by far. https://tenor.com/view/das-boot-beer-gif-11413185

In all seriousness, I am looking forward to seeing what Mamdani can do for NYC. I am fully on board with the concept that we need more diversity of opinions in our politics.

Everyone is looking to cut off the head of the snake…until you are the snake. If it ain’t venomous or threatening, I say, perhaps then let it go touch grass?

If you’ve never been, there’s a functional oil derrick in front of their capitol complex. 85% of the state functions like the movie “There will be blood.”

They have a whole celebration around eating bull testicles. The roads are long and straight like Kansas and Iowa…oh, and they’re toll roads. Most of the people I talked to hated it there and wanted to get the hell out. By far my least favorite state I’ve visited.

Don’t get me wrong, there are some decent things there. Red River is cool, watching a terrifyingly enormous thunderhead clap in the distance at night is starkly beautiful. It’s chock full of tribal culture and native and folk art. It’s the birthplace of Sonic Drive Ins and one of the smartest Product Managers I know came from there. But there’s a reason sometimes Oklahoma is removed from contiguous maps of the US.

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.

Who stole the cookie from the cookie jar? …Al stole the cookie from the cookie jar.

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.

Maybe something by Gloria Estefan? The background music you provided has that crooner / Latin flair.

I’d do like that one guy did on the streets of New York. Cash it all out into $1 bills and just make it rain. But I’d prefer do it in the struggling mountain towns around me.
