Same here. I only eat beef a few times a year as a treat both for health and environmental reasons. But coffee and chocolate so high up the list is more of a killer for me. I definitely enjoy a couple cups per day as well as at least one bite of dark chocolate. Probably should cut back now that I can't claim ignorance.

I agree. Some kids need extra motivation to get them to practice reading so it really shouldn't matter how dumb the subject matter seems. Whatever gets them to open a book and practice is good.

My dog has a very sensitive stomach so we started bringing treats to the vet that he can eat. He doesn't eat them though on account of how scared he is.

At my first job that literally employed 10 people, the internal IT manager left for a better job. He had been working for them for 5 years and did all sorts of things that weren't in his job description much like all of us since there were, you know, 10 of us. I remember them complaining about not getting any applications and also asking me in the marketing department about how to entice new candidates. My coworker and I looked at the job posting which required 10 years of experience for entry level pay and both suggested that they either need to pay more or reduce the experience required. Their excuse for not doing so basically amounted to that they were paying the previous guy this amount so surely they don't need to pay more. Except... He left? Because of money most likely? It baffled me how they just couldn't connect the dots there.

In the US it's cheap but unregulated and full of shit that's terrible for you. Or you can pay an arm and a leg for stuff that's better but still not up to the standards of most other countries. I learned this by getting a chemical burn in my eye from sunscreen... meant for my face.

It means a child that already somehow existed is un-birthed back into his wife, slowly degrades back into a fetus, then splits into an egg and sperm which finds its way back into his penis and finally his nut sack.

My inlaws took in a Russian family a few years back. It was quite the culture shock for them to get a giant jar of pickled tomatoes and drink hole glasses of the brine. I like pickles and all, but that's just too much 😆

JD Vance only eats the cat food part of lucky charms pass it on.

What about kombucha? Ice tea? Water?!?! Would be nice to know that anything you consume regardless of how healthy or not doesn't contain micro plastics or other contaminants.

I have no sources for this so take with a grain of salt... But I've heard that Tesla turns off self driving just before an accident so they can say it was the drivers fault. Now in this case, if it was on while it drove on the tracks I would think would prove it's Tesla's faulty self driving plus human error for not correcting it. Either way it would prove partly Tesla's fault if it was on at the time.

I could get loads of cool liquors I've been eyeing for experimentation! Or like... one reeeeeally nice scotch.

Hey guys! I'm going on a week long camping rafting trip in a few weeks and I wanted to get some ideas for good travel size games. I've found that some travel size games have lots of pieces or boxes that are loose, so I'm looking for suggestions for small games you think will work well for outdoors and travel.

So far I've got:

  • 2 pack of waterproof cards
  • Magnetic mini chess board
  • Hive Pocket edition
  • Love letter
  • Hanabi if I can get the metal tin version
 

I just made the Stiggin’s Fancy Old Fashioned from Educated Barfly's video from today. I think it turned out exceptionally and quite intense if you enjoy that spectrum of cocktails.

Recipe: 2oz (60ml) Pineapple Rum 1 Bar Spoon Coffee Liqueur 1/4oz (7.5ml) Demerara Syrup 1 Dash Angostura Bitters 1 Dash Regans’ Orange Bitters No. 6 (I used Bitterman's) Orange Twist

 

When some of my succulents stretch over the winter, I need to repot them into lil' dinky pots so they can start fresh! Yes, I know I need to get a grow light 🙄

 

This shoot grew over the past week and the flowers started to open today. I'm super excited! Bonus pic of a pup I pulled off last season.

 

The Old Fashioned is my favorite drink. It introduced me to whiskey and mixology plus it's simple and versatile. I think it's easy to judge if a bar has good cocktails based solely on their Old Fashioned. What are your opinions, favorite variations, etc?

 

Definitely not recent, but I figured I could help get some content going. So here is my jam shelf from the Covid times. Jam making is a hobby of mine in the summer and I went a little wild with flavors that year since there wasn't anything else to do and I could send them to people.

Top shelf from left to right: Lemon Curd, Port Plum, Apricot, Strawberry Zinfandel, Peach Bourbon, Verry Berry, Peach, (small jar) apple butter from the year before, (large jar) Chili sauce, raspberry.

On the bottom shelf are various garnishes for cocktails that I didn't really can so much, but I thought I would list for those curious. (If you like cocktails, join us over on !cocktails@midwest.social). From left to right of what I can see: Smoked Salt, Cinnamon Sticks, Whole Nutmeg, Dried Lime Wheels, Candied Ginger, Tea Pot.

Not pictured: That years apple butter batch! I always make a massive batch of apple butter when my parents apples ripen. It often makes about 20 jars!

Recipie:

  • 6-10 basil leaves (depending on size)
  • 2 oz dry gin
  • ½ oz Elderflower liqueur
  • 1 oz Lime Juice
  • ½ oz Honey syrup

Muddle Basil leaves in gin, then add in remaining ingredients. Shake with ice and double strain into glass. Garnish with a basil sprig. (side note: using purple basil makes the drink turn a lovely pink.)
