I’m not a witch, I’m your wife!

This sounds like a Reddit comment.

Both of these options involve taking the time to remove all tape, stickers, and other add ons.

I run cardboard through the bandsaw and slap the strips together to make new scratchpad inserts. Walmart now wants $10-13 for a small one, up from $3-5. It also breaks down boxes fast. Use a tiny bit of nontoxic school glue, in the middle of the strips. Too much glue and they’ll be too hard and the cat won’t use them. If I had to do the cutting by hand, I wouldn’t do it.

Break boxes down flat to kill swaths of lawn for garden space. Cover with garden dirt & compost. Alternatively, cover with wood chips, gravel, or rocks for borders or pathing.

This is horrifying. Sadly, it will take this to bring the Tesla self driving fleet down to what eventually happened with the Cyber Truck.

AI. Probably.

I admit, my skepticism regarding these companies has me leaving a black sticker on my selfie cam for a couple years now.

Books, games, music should be willable, but they are not. That we allowed ourselves to reach this particular spot is just sad.

Isn’t 1/3 of their music fake? How is this surprising?

I’ll give him a slight amount of credit for saying that part out loud.

Let’s face it, his pushes are likely going to be cost cuts on anything the federal government is involved in, to try to make up on tax cuts and entitlement programs for the top 10%. Which will only, long game, make working class more unhealthy, angry, and desperate.

This is the Peter Thiel world. Trump will die in his sleep of old age and one too many chicken nuggets, and Thiel’s puppet, Vance, will take over.

At which point all privacy will be off the table.

It’s like the goal is to bleed culture from humanity. Corporate is so keep on the $$$ they’re willing to sacrifice culture to it.

I’ll bet corporate gets to keep their copyrights.

It has to be easy, low effort, and something there friends are doing too.

Terrifying.

I wonder how much our car insurance will go up due to this.

Until you listen to the Behind the Bastards on him and realize FB started out as a women hotness rating system local to his college. There was no benign origin here.

This is another bullet point on the list of MAGA stopping or confusing the flow and accessibility of information.

We are to know nothing about what they are doing in the world, ideally.

Conservatives tend to increase national debt. Search Engine has a podcast this week, on the difference between your debt and the national debt.

Their basic shortbread recipe is spot on, perfect.

When you start, you follow recipes. Pick a type of cuisine you like. At some point as you explore recipes you will start to understand the “flavor bouquet” of that cuisine. This understanding will help you with what spices go together in a pleasant way, and in what amounts. Like Thai food. Or Italian food.

That said, bread can be a gateway recipe. It’s simple: yeast, flour, water + a sugar to activate the yeast. Not all bread is sandwich bread. Starting with flatbread (for hummus, gyro, etc) or pizza crust also works. No bread machines, that would defeat the purpose of your original question, but a stand mixer with a dough hook is ok. For sandwich bread, King Arthur Flour has solid recipes (ignore ingredient branding).

If you like vids, Kenji Lopez-Alt is excellent. He also has a book called The Food Lab which is useful but not necessary, depending on how you learn. Serious Eats also has useful guides.

I think they’re talking about people you may have lost contact with. Where do you find anyone for a quick text? Facebook. What is the substitute platform for finding just about anyone?

Shut up, Wesley!
