TBH I never remember which is Tom and which is Jerry lol. Also…I mean we are old man, sorry. 😞

Yeah but to be accurate you should include a baby version of the cat and have the gun barrels aimed at him instead.

PS5 pro is a waste of money, but also lots of people don’t want a PC to play games. Two things can be true at the same time!

My name is LemonParty and I approved this message.

I do not need to convince you of anything, my dude.

Most condos appreciate in value, and an HOA fee is not that same as literally having to lease the space your home is on.

Someone else touched on it but mobile home parks can actually be very exploitative because the home isn’t actually mobile, it can generally never be moved again, but the owner has no claim to the land. So it’s all the downsides of owning a home AND renting with literally none of the upsides. The home doesn’t appreciate, and you have no control over your future payment, and can even be evicted from your home that you own outright. Without some change there, they are not a solution.

To your point though, building housing developments organized like mobile homes could be viable, however if you’re going to use up that much land you really should also build vertically to make the most of it. But then you get into the same issues we have now, building up costs a lot more, no longer stays affordable, etc.

Nvidia experience has gotten so bad that I actually download drivers manually from the site again. It should not take 3+ minutes to start a program that does virtually nothing and THEN make me login to even fucking use it - just to update the driver.

How did you propose to your fiance?

Use a calorie counting app like lose it. Log everything you eat. It’s very tedious at first but pretty soon you get really good at judging how many calories are in things. Don’t stop logging! Track your weight. When you hit plateaus zoom out on the time scale and look at your trend line going down and feel good about yourself.

The trick is being honest with yourself. There are no free calories. Those 2-3 little cookies you had at work? They count. The extra scoop of rice? That counts. Most people have no concept of how many excess calories they’re really taking in.

Over COVID lockdown my wife and I both gained 10-15 pounds and I was already a good 20 pounds over where I wanted to be. We both started this and never stopped. I lost 40 pounds in about 9 months (230 to 185) , she lost 20, 155 to 134, and we’ve both kept it off for the last three years. We log all our meals and we exercise. Exercise becomes rewarding because burning extra means you can cheat! Did you bike twenty miles today? HAVE YOU A FUCKIN DONUT THEN!

Because the people at the top who greenlight everything are rich and think anyone that would live with their family past the age of 18 is a lazy shit stain. That’s the answer. It doesn’t matter if it doesn’t make a shred of sense, it’s just the truth.

FYI if you, like me, did not realize the third book was out, it is! I just bought it, gonna start it tonight

It owns. Haven’t read the third one yet. Not even sure if it’s out but if it is it’s next on the list.

Children of Time is nearly exactly what you’re looking for. The whole series doesn’t follow nicely with what you’re looking for but the focus remains on that aspect of things for lack of wanting to spoil anything. If nothing else read the first book, it’s exceptional.

Every time I hear my voice it sounds like I just huffed a liter of helium. Apparently my wife doesn’t mind but damn man. My shit is ANNOYING

The water still escapes the rice in an air tight container it just stays in the container as condensation. It won’t soak back into the rice without heat, and even then the texture of the rice will not be the same. It won’t be fluffy and soft like fresh rice is. If you aren’t worried about adding extra calories, you could try pan frying the rice before freezing or after thawing. The texture will change but it should be very flavorful thanks to the oil and added moisture.

So you froze rice and then ate it cold? Like frozen cold? If you ate it frozen, it wasn’t good because it was still frozen. If you ate it “room temperature” cold it wasn’t good because it dried out as it thawed! It also probably dried out a little before you froze it.

Out of curiosity why can’t you just make fresh rice for the reheated dish? Is it all too mixed together?

I’m in my late 30s and nobody I know thinks Facebook is fine, including the few people I know that still use Facebook.

Rice doesn’t freeze/re-cook well because when you cook it it fills with water. When you freeze it you trap that moisture in it and there’s really no way to reheat it without all that moisture escaping. It’s the same reason rice gets hard if you leave it out too long - the water evaporates.
