It’s the little details that make things special 😂

It’s really simple and the results are well worth it. I’m glad you enjoyed it!

I dug through my archives and found my pics of the one I made.

You should try it! I forget where I saw the idea originally, but my ex was very into Halloween, so we made it.

I normally don’t like meatloaf, but the different shape and the crunchy cheese gave it a texture I enjoyed better, so IMO it’s even better in hand form then it is as normal meatloaf!

I mostly agree with you about the looking bad and not tasting good, but I have made the “Meat Hand” before and that was just as good as normal food if you like meatloaf. Just make your recipe of choice but form into a hand shape, top it with a little cheese before baking, and cook on a sheet pan, then transfer into mashed taters. Looks great/horrifying, hard to mess up, and tastes like regular food. Plus ketchup makes “blood.”. Options fingernails are just onion slivers and the wrist is the onion core/center part.

Pic below isn’t mine, but mine came out looking just as good.

Being able to max my HSA contributions was one of my signs that I finally “made it” in my career. The advantages of HSAs are great for those that don’t need to use them. Same with the required high deductible health plan itself.

Now my job is going away next month, and guess what does me no good then? No health plan, and I can’t contribute that money to the HSA, not that I’ll be getting any money. When I’ll need protection most, it’s not there. If the solution is to help everyone, universal healthcare is the only way to do it.

Once he started doing collabs with Josh Weissman, I think that took it from a bit into something serious. After that, I started seeing a bunch of YouTube cooking channels start using it.

I prefer using things with high glutamate content instead of straight MSG, but I do keep a jar on hand for when food is lacking that something.

You aren’t alone! I got really confused for a second when I saw the community name.

This is the kind of service government should provide. Would you go to a restaurant where they make you calculate your own bill, and if you calculate sales tax wrong, you get penalized? It’s up to the service provider to say how much you owe.

Very valid points. I forgot WordPad existed and I use Notepad way more than I’ve ever used WordPad. But many people still havent really used computers much in depth beyond specific things they’ve been shown.

I know I could just use Google Docs or throw LibreOffice in there, but many people now in retirement age have still managed to dodge learning much about computers.

If you deliver a new computer that can’t type a letter, send an email, and play YouTube out of the box, that seems like a fail. And I feel many that won’t know what do do without something like WordPad also may not have an Internet connection, nor should they have to if they just need a presentable looking doc.

Pipe down and watch the picture!

I will stand by until such time as I am needed again!

Honestly it was better than I expected. If Ramaswamy wasn’t there, I really wouldn’t have minded it that much. He just came off so sleazy to me. Christy said something along the lines of he was the ChatGPT candidate. If you had an AI make a young, slick, influencer-looking MAGA Republican, it probably would look a lot like him. He was very Trump-like in behavior, talking over people and saying purposely ignorant things. The rest were plain vanilla Republicans closer to what we used to get, except Desantis, and Scott to a lesser extent.

If either the Bush presidents seem bearable at this point to you, the rest of the candidates were as tolerable as Reps get. More just Crap Original Strength instead of Crap Ulta Plus Xtreme.

I wasn’t familiar with Ramaswamy before, and part of me wishes that I still wasn’t. That guy is a whacko even in that stage and most of them told him so, which was about the only highlight. Audience cheered waaaay too much for comfort at some if the things coming out of his mouth including being the only one to explicitly claim climate change is a hoax. The others never said if they believe in it or not, they let Ramaswamy take the attention off that.

Christie did his Trump bashing, but doesn’t seem to have improved on any of his it beliefs. Mostly blamed libs for NJ problems. Did have a bit of fun when they asked him about aliens though.

Haley was, well, not a pleasant surprise, but it’s amazing how a few years can really affect who is “moderate.” She went for the throat regarding Putin, had a moderate, respectable for a Republican view about abortion rights, and called out China, and also a few fellow candidates for making up stuff.

Pence was about how you would expect. Got everyone to admit he did the right thing ignoring Trump on Jan 6. Otherwise nothing new from him. Still says he would support Trump as president.

Desantis did his anti woke crap and took credit for the federal aid Florida got after emergencies. Pretty much promised to make the US into Florida. Repeated a few times how he’s going to serve Biden “back to his basement.” He didn’t get much more attention than anyone else, so no new momentum for him.

Others were pretty much a snooze other than talking about using the military on the southern border. Won’t be dedicating any extra of my time to those guys. That’s about all I remember. Only half paid attention through most of it, I don’t swing that way, but I’ll hear them out.

Oh that is cool. I thought it had an ending but I lost a lot of plot points between seasons which is probably why I have no idea what happened after season 1. I’m good with a graphic novel to wrap it up.

Now I just need someone to finish Infinity Train!

That is pretty awesome. I clicked through to the Instagram and there are some cool builds pics that somewhat show how it works.

Perfect guitar for that band. Next version needs to shoot sparks!

I haven’t decided if it’s any better yet. I’m pretty far left, but radicals on both extremes get pretty weird. At least it’s different propaganda!

Hah, I do remember hearing something like that about one of the conservative forums last month. I think Teddy Roosevelt would approve.

I read the Wikipedia summary of the coup fallout. It seems Prigozhin was cooperative to turn all legit businesses and paramilitary equipment over to Putin. His former media outlets turned on him and painted him as a traitor, but he still cooperated. I feel it’s unlikely to be a mutual plot to fake his death, they’ve executed other people for far less than a public coup though. He may have thought he was getting some kind of lieniency, but I think they’re toast.

I should go back and rewatch this. I really enjoyed the first season, but then I know I watched the rest but couldn’t tell you what all happened.

Not that I liked him, or really thought he was too much safer in Belarus, but why did the guy think he’d just be able to chill in Russia after making his murder crazy boss look stupid?
