I’ve got a lot of easy comfort dishes, but I’ll stick with the popcorn chicken theme. I like to make homemade “KFC Famous Bowl”. There’s multiple simultaneous steps but they’re basically just bringing to a boil and/or stirring.

Prepare

1. Air fry some Beyond popcorn chicken
2. Mix up a batch of instant mashed potatoes
3. Heat up a can of corn
4. Mix up a packet of brown gravy

Serve

1. Put a scoop of mashed potatoes in a serving bowl
2. Add a layer of the gravy
3. Add a layer of shredded cheese
4. Add one or two spoonfuls of corn
5. Top with the pop corn chicken

It’s not strictly vegetarian, but neither am I.

Mine died last weekend and I had to replace it. $650 to do myself, and that included same day delivery.

It failed the prior night, noticed it mid-morning, ordered at 2pm, received it at 5, and had it installed by 7. Was kind of a pain but not nearly as awful as I feared.

Yeah. On the surface it seems like it would be a positive. But in practice, it shields people from criticism of their behavior.

Yeah, yeah, “use your words” and all that, but some comments are just so brain-dead or trollish that they’re not worth a response, and even a downvote is expending far more effort than the comment is worth. So the person who made it sees 3 upvotes but not the 50 downvotes, so their takeaway is that “wow, 3 people liked my braindead comment” rather than everyone except 3 people hated it.

I get the appeal of disabling downvotes, but if I say something stupid, I wanna know.

The number of upvotes on this post (and it’s xpost in c/politics) is extremely disheartening and shows why getting news from social media is doomed to spread crackpot shit. People will like and share anything they agree with no matter what tinfoil rag it links to.

Humanity makes me sad.

I mean, if you’re not shitting your guts out after drinking a glass of tap water, then it’s clean enough.

Pure water tastes like…nothing. The minerals and such give it the good, crisp taste.

That said, my water is so hard it has comparable calcium to a glass of milk.

Fun fact: It took me forever to jump into Mambo #5 because I hadn’t listened to Mambos 1-4.

The good ol’ Ferengi Rule 34 (seriously).

Though I prefer RoA #76: "Every once in a while, declare peace. It confuses the hell out of your enemies. "

That’s hilarious, and I totally understand. I listened to this song 4 times this evening and finally posted it. There’s probably still a little dopamine left in the tank if I’d play it a 5th.

That’s basically me. Wake me when it’s time to:

• Eat
• Hand out gifts
• Go home

Added :) I also disabled the “Create Post” button if the community is on a defederated instance even though, technically, you can still post to your instance’s local copy (it just won’t federate).

Edit: This only works one way. i.e. it can only know if your instance is defederated from the community’s. If the community’s instance is defederated from yours, there will be no indicator because there’s no way to do it without a remote lookup which is both unreliable and inefficient at scale.

You mean like if there’s a community called !cats@example.com and your home instance no longer federates with the instance example.com?

If so, I’ll add that to Tesseract as it sounds useful.

My friend got me into it, and it was the first and only MUD I ever really got into. So kind of loved it by default. I tried out a few others but never really got very far beyond the first few levels in each.

Beyond that, it was intuitive as far as MUDs went, had a massive world and lore, and was well “modded”.

Two in the same vein:

1. Someone once assumed that I used a code prettier by asking for my .prettierrc. Nope. I just write pretty code and was legit offended at that.
2. Multiple times I’ve been called an AI because I (checks notes) write out my thoughts in full sentences.

There’s been worse, but I’m quick to block, and I don’t dwell on things. It’s actually pretty easy when you step back and think about the kind of person who would go online make personal attacks like that. Once you have that mental image, you quickly realize you don’t give a flying fuck what that person has to say about anything.

I used to play the crap out of A.V.A.T.A.R. As of a few days ago, it was still alive and active.

You can use telnet or a more capable MUD client. I used to use zMUD back in the day, but it hasn’t been developed since 2008. The last time I sat down and played, I used Mudlet.

In my city, they just keep paving over the old asphalt, so the manhole covers are like 6 inches deep in some places. Hitting one of those in my sedan is not pleasant.

Dude! Awesome! On all fronts, awesome.

Ok, so there is real potential for PF to become known for it’s porn. That was not the plan

For a while, Tesseract was the most used frontend for lemmynsfw so, lol, I felt that.

Bad Hair Day is probably my favorite album. It was also the first album I bought b/c of Amish Paradise.

Also, every once in a while, “Everything You Know is Wrong” will randomly pop into my head.
