Touching your own pp is gay, apparently

Blackberries on sale $0.50 a package here in Michigan right now

I think that’s the problem.

Winter people probably like bundling up inside. Summer people are outside doing things. Most of my summer people friends, also enjoy winter activities, just maybe not as much as summer.

Winter people must be… Terminally online? 🤷‍♂️

RunPee was a godsend back when I was actually watching movies in theaters

That’s probably true. It’s one of the things we haven’t tried yet, and I figured most people would be scared off by the idea and call it too complex, even if I said use Bisquick.

A friend of ours has a portable/luggable pizza oven, and they make their own dough, and those pizzas are amazing. Just a lot of work to get everything rolling, so better done as a group while camping or something.

Yeah pizza was never cheap, but these days it’s very expensive.

Sometimes we make it at home, it’s not that hard if you get the bag of premade dough powder, just add water, costs a dollar or two.

But honestly? My cheat code is using tortillas. It’s like 80% close enough to real thin crust, works well.

Slap some spaghetti sauce on there (cheaper than pizza sauce per ounce, and similar enough), and some dry mozzarella. Maybe some pepperoni. A little garlic salt and some dried basil or whatever. Toss it in the toaster oven. Bob’s your mother’s brother.

Personal pizza for less than a buck a piece. Or maybe A buck a piece? I haven’t priced things in a minute.

Honestly the most expensive part is the pepperoni. (Hint, buy it once, and freeze it, you don’t need that many at once and it won’t go bad).

Just popping in to say it’s insane that a 750k house is positioned as reasonable in this scenario. The housing market is truly insane.

Before anyone else comments, I get it, the market varies depending on where you live. Around me, “reasonable houses”, that being 2 ish bedrooms, 1 ish bath, are somewhere between 250k and 500k. But that’s still disgusting. 10 or 15 years ago that would’ve been 60 to 150k, in my same area. I’m still kicking myself for not buying back then, not that I had the means, but I almost did. Now? Sheesh.

The crazy part is, renting isn’t even cheap!

Rent in my area is around 1.5k per month for 2 bedroom 1 bath… My rent has been lower than that thankfully, though climbing, but that’s the going rate.

With good credit, and 20k down, that could be a mortgage payment on an entire house twice the size. Still disgusting but at least then you’re building equity of some sort.

But who’s got that when 25% of Americans have no savings at all, and only 50% can cover 3 months expenses in an emergency?

Yet new housing is built all the time. Why? Because it’s lucrative for those with gobs of money, holding all the housing.

My landlord is no saint, but he has 2 buildings, 4 units each, with detached garages. They aren’t premium, slightly dated, but they’re miles better than slumlord stuff. Nice neighborhood too. I’d put my grandma in there. Yet he consistently keeps the rent at less than 60% of the local average.

Honestly he SHOULD charge more. But I’m not telling him that. He does it because he can’t stand the thought of gouging people to get rich. Though I’m sure he’s still making plenty, as his new truck would indicate. But still.

My neighbors complain about him, and one even left. Then begged to come back because other renters locally were more expensive, and less attentive. He let them back 🤷‍♂️

Thank you for this gem

I can’t find a movie by that name? There’s a TV show though

That’s fair, and probably true in her case honestly.

Not op, but the world isn’t black and white. I definitely know people like they are describing. Perfectly healthy, mentally and physically, yet neet and unapologetic.

One guy actually recently got a job and a wife and an apartments, so good on him. Though he still struggles because his wife is neet, though she claims a dubious disability.

I also know some people as you describe, with different actual disabilities, and neet. It’s sad, but that’s life.

There’s a lot of people in the world, and they exist all over the spectrum.

I’mma be honest, I started your video, skipped ahead 10 seconds, watched for a few seconds, then skipped ahead another 10 or 20 seconds, and watched a few seconds, before deciding that it was entirely different.

That’s on me. Yes it’s the same video, it starts at 55 seconds in your video

It is not the same video

Upvotes aren’t private, therefore not so mysterious.

And while it’s not EXTREMELY easy to find the public information, people definitely go digging for it. And it’s public by design.

The only people who will dig? The group you offended.

There’s a gnome extension called Wiggly that does a similar thing 👍

For those interested, there is a gnome extension called Wiggly that does this a similar thing.

Used to be called Wiggle, but development and bug fixing seems to have stopped on that one.

Preach. Love my $15 rice cooker, works fine

I got a new fancy inverter microwave, and it’s an absolute game changer, for reheating.

Running a traditional microwave, lower power modes are literally just lower duty cycles. Very coarse, too.

30% power is something like “turn on high power for 3 seconds, turn off power for 7 seconds, repeat”

Which means your good gets blasted at 1200w for 3 seconds, and then is given time to rest for 7 seconds, before starting over again.

This is bad for things like fats and oils in food, which tends to heat up REALLY fast, and start splattering/burning the parts of the food they’re in.

It works but could be better, smoother.

Enter the inverter microwave. It can adjust the actual power output of the magnetron itself. So when you tell it 30% power, it will run the whole 10 seconds without cycling on and off, but it’s literally only putting out 30% of the normal full power.

This is much more gentle on delicate foods.

Caveat, at powers below 30% it starts to duty cycle again, I imagine because the magnetron can only operate so low before it can’t run normally.

But still, pulsing a 30% powered magnetron on and off is a lot more gentle than a 100% powered one.

This has made reheating leftovers much better.

Instead of blasting it at full power, then stirring/mixing the food, and blasting it again.

I just set it at 10 or 20%, take a quick shower, and come out to perfectly evenly reheated food. Takes 10 or 20 minutes instead of 5, but, way less work, and much better results. Win win.
