I have a different problem with gale. His wall of flame is a fantastic room control spell that can do some serious damage... if only allies would STOP walking right through it!

Yup! And because of this show we have one of the greatest remix/covers of all time: https://youtu.be/ACczN6g1EXA?si=PyKHsFJeRgvzwrMx

Yeah, my blocked website list is growing everyday with websites that are literally just a 4 paragraph summary of a reddit post. 3 of the paragraphs are usually just "user 'spezcocksucker' says this but another person disagrees. Here's the reddit link and 27 ads.

America's Test Kitchen is one of the only apps I pay a subscription for. It's pretty phenomenal. I usually try to find something from Kenji Lopez-Alt, Binging with Babish, or Claire Saffitz first but I ALWAYS know I will find something good on ATK.

YouTube recipes have gotten hit or miss for me and I blame TikTok. They have become super short without lots of relevant information. If you're lucky they will display the ingredient quantity on screen for a second before moving on.

I recently was looking for a new recipe to try and found so many YouTube "recipes" that read like a Great British Bake Off Challenge.

Step 1: Gather ingredients Step 2: Make dough Step 3: Cook. Enjoy! Like and subscribe, check out my Patreon, TikTok, Instagram, tumbler, Etsy, Nebula, floatplane, and OnlyPans!

The general idea that I've seen floating around is that he is easily on the same level as Stark, Banner, Pym, and Richards but because he started hero-ing at such a young age he never got the resources such as high level education or time to develop a thesis/experiment with his ideas.

If he had those options available to him then yea, equal than or possibly better than Tony.

My brain works in racing terms so my personal analogy would be as follows:

If you took the best go cart racer rookie to have ever been seen and dropped him straight into formula 2 he would probably figure it out and rise up somewhere near the top and be good if not great. But if he then tried to jump into F1 he would probably get spanked.

But if instead he did his time in go carts, shifter carts, dallara carts, dabbled in gt series and prototypes, was mentored by racing legends and then worked through F3, this prodigy would likely blast through F2 and rise to the top of F1 as one of the greatest of all times.

Bro... Is your buddy looking for a buddy? Seriously though this is an awesome present.

Oh man Muse and Walk the Moon are some of my regulars. Haven't heard of St. Lucia or Passion Pit, I'll have to give those a listen.

I appreciate it! I've currently got an injury that started out one way and has slowly moved towards chronic pain with no real solution other than marginal pain management. Had to quit my job and am currently trying to find some kind of remote work I can do. Something will happen sooner or later I'm sure.

I was less defending myself and just trying to be a friendly educator. I kind of dislike that word because it makes me sound superior but I'm definitely not. There is that XKCD comic about not making fun of people for not knowing things and instead showing them what it is. https://xkcd.com/1053/ . I have found this to be good advice.

Maybe the person that I was responding to really didn't know Sous Vide could be affordable and just needed an example. Same with the cost of the meat.

I try to give people the benefit of the doubt.

The pork shoulder was in a discount bin because it was on the way out so was cheaper per pound than anything else available. There is enough meat on it to feed us for about 2 weeks of 1-2 meals per day.

Sous vide can be exceptionally efficient with regards to energy. There are several resources that dive into the breakdown of the cooking method and cost of electricity but the most detailed analysis I've seen which accounted for cooking vessels, humidity levels, and temperature stability found that at a rate of 15 cents per kilowatt-hour a properly insulated sous vide machine cost $0.30 for a 24 hour cook.

My electricity is slightly cheaper so my sous vide cook cost me maybe $0.40 for the entire thing.

Oh I almost forgot: The cheapest Tofu in my area is $2.30 per pound and I got the pork shoulder at $1.15 per pound. Plus I have yet to find a Tofu recipe that I enjoy eating. I had an incredibly delicious Mapo Tofu from a mom and pop Chinese restaurant in Los Angeles when I was out visiting family but have been entirely unsuccessful trying to recreate it at home.

A very mild coconut flavor, it's almost similar to Kings Hawaiian rolls. If you just gave someone one to eat I'm not sure they would be able to pick out the coconut.

No not really. There is only one thing that is a carryover from the first game. It's more of a "huh?!? What the heck happened here?" kind of teaser but doesn't spoil anything from the first game.

Enjoy! One of my favorite games of all time.

 

Money is SUPER tight for us this right now and we ran out of milk and couldn't go get more. I found a box of coconut milk in the pantry and looked up recipes for coconut milk bread.

Turns out that there is a Samoan Coconut Bread called Pani Popo that fit the bill perfectly. A very easy dough to make that is forgiving and very tasty.

The slightly sweet bread is a great pairing for the pork shoulder that I cooked sous vide for 36 hours.

I used this recipe: https://youtu.be/Tkx4lNpX3N4?si=D8ysm_BgWRsvw7JF

 

Followed this recipe and it turned out extremely delicious. https://bachans.com/blogs/recipes/yuzu-grilled-chicken-banh-mi
