I'll have to save that idea for the future. I love meat sauce but the 3yo is mega picky about food these days.

For some reason, kid #3 is orders of magnitude more picky about food than the first two ever were.

Yeah, it's this funky little bit of magical anomaly that creates a memorable side character who has a complete and satisfying story arc.

Magic in ASOIAF is chaotic and mercurial. I don't need complex rules or structure for me to enjoy it in the story.

Homemade meatballs are definitely much better, but my family has settled on the frozen Aldi italian-style balls as a decent "oh shit it's 30 minutes until dinner and we haven't cooked anything yet" option.

And honestly, she'd be right to do it. When the brands come to social media, they deserve all of the shit that comes with it. This is OUR territory and our moms will fuck you up when you show up here.

I'm happy that there are perverted pedants for this kind of thing, weirdos who fucking get off on making sure that the boring shit doesn't get too dystopian so the rest of us can be carefree as we doomscroll the end of the world.

Post your favorite Lord of the Rings character. Wrong answers only.

Sick Kid: Adult Edition is just like the original but lasts twice as long with twice as many symptoms.

This is an ok build but you have to balance it out with some items that upgrade your deadpan scores.

Can you imagine the fan art?

Think of all of the sexy cat girl Jerry Orbachs that await us.

Sharing a small happy thing.

I bought a bag of 6 avocados on Wednesday and ignored them until now and they're all perfectly ripe. Flavorful and the peel just falls off.

Truly incredible to shut down a bunch of renewable energy stuff and then start a war that launches oil prices through the roof

I have infinitely more in common with the people of Iran than I do with the Epstein class in control of the US government

I would change that about our world, but you'd have to make it worth my while.

One thing that sucks about aging is that I need to take daily prescription meds every evening before bed and that means I can't just flop into bed when exhausted. First I need to brush teeth and take pills and put in the mouth guard and arrange the pillows and so on.

I miss the satisfying flop.

I get yelled at for saying this but for many hundreds of years people went to university not to get diplomas or be employable but because immersion in the humanities was considered foundational to a good life, and school must return to its original purpose: the joy of learning.

Hopefully it's just one of those things where the baby has learned to make a new noise and then they fixate on it for awhile before it becomes boring again. Maybe try not reacting to make it as boring as possible?

Call me crazy, but I firmly believe that if all your life, your privileges and physical separation have shielded you from having to consider the needs and wants of people outside your socioΓ«conomic class, you are not going to make a good leader to your people.

Secretary of Defense somehow channeling both "high school freshman giving a book report about a book that he very clearly did not read" AND "detoxing car salesman who will have his house foreclosed unless he can sell you this very overpriced 2019 Dodge Ram."

Chuck, it looks like you use cast iron, is that right? What temp and time do you use for baking?

I've never gotten crusts so pretty with my cast iron pan. (And the baking stone just gives too much of a bready bake.)

"know the work rules" meme

Top image shows a conventionally handsome man saying "Dog at spring training" and a woman saying "Aww you're sweet" 

Bottom image shows a typical dork saying "Cat at spring training" and the same woman is on the phone saying "hello human resources?!"

I've been getting in the spirit of AI and drawing dicks whenever I'm asked to draw something during the AI larp.

Heck yeah. You did the right thing by taking it seriously and getting attention right away.

If you're dealing with a retina detachment situation and the recovery involves keeping your head in a position where you're looking at the floor for several days, I recommend contacting a medical supply company about renting a special chair that keeps you in that posture. Helps a lot.

Adjusted for inflation, the $19 cost from 1964 would be about $200 in 2026 money.

For my partner and me, we stick with index funds and let the pros worry for us. The limit to our input was shifting to more bond-heavy mixes about four months ago. We also dropped some under-performing funds and parked a chunk cash in a high-yield savings account until we see some stability.

With this constant chaos, I really don't understand how individuals can handle managing their own portfolios. Isn't it basically gambling at this point?
