  • Now, now... "and switching to semiannual instead."

    So they steal all our money twice a year. :)

  • We aren't going to allow threads full of "I'm not touching you! I'm not touching you! I'm not touching you!"

    It reaches a point where it boils over to full on trolling, which is more serious and results in longer and longer bans.

    Y'all act like children? We treat you like children and send you to your rooms.

    Once they cool off, they're welcome back, but if they keep at it the 24 hour ban turns into 3 days, 7 days, or more.

  • Oh, shit, "being an adult: the cartoon".

  • “If you look at the problem, the problem is on the left. It’s not on the right,”

    ORLY?

    "Robinson's grandmother said the entire family are Republicans and Trump supporters.[86] Robinson was registered to vote but not affiliated with any party, and there is no record of him voting in Washington County (of which St. George is the county seat).[1] Robinson had no criminal record prior to his arrest.[87]"

    "Federal charging documents described Boelter as acting with "the intent to kill, injure, harass, and intimidate Minnesota legislators".[6] His anti-abortion views are considered a possible motive.[50] Boelter was registered to vote in Oklahoma as a Republican for the 2004 United States presidential election, though on a state document in 2019, Boelter wrote that he had "no party preference".[8] A longtime Sleepy Eye, Minnesota, resident who knew Boelter as a fourth-grade student in his childhood town since 1976, told reporters he was stunned to learn that Boelter is a suspect in the attacks. He described Boelter as "a conservative who voted for President Donald Trump and was strongly against abortion rights""

    "Routh had a history of political activity online and offline, with his political engagement dating back to at least 1989.[34] Voting records showed that he did not vote in the 2016 elections,[35] but in a 2020 Twitter post, he claimed to have voted for Trump in 2016 and later regretted it.[36] In a self-published ebook in 2023, he wrote about his supposed previous support for Trump, saying, "I am man enough to say that I misjudged and made a terrible mistake."[37]"

    "FBI deputy director Paul Abbate described Crooks's activity on social networking services as antisemitic, anti-immigrant, extreme, and espousing political violence.[138] Crooks's Internet activity before the attack included searches related to the 2021 Oxford High School shooting and for other politicians and their events.[139]

    He was a registered Republican;[129][140][141] his voter registration had been active since September 2021, the month he turned 18.[142][129]"

  • When it reaches this point, it's removable, here it did:

  • When you click on a report, it should bypass any block, it doesn't.

    This isn't organically viewing a post, it's responding to a report and it is visible when reported.

    If that link doesn't work... In 1970 an 8 ton dead gray whale washed up on the beach in Florence.

    Now, in Oregon, all the beaches are public beaches, under the control of the highway department, and they didn't know how to remove a dead whale.

    So they packed it with 1/2 a ton of dynamite and blew it up thinking the seagulls and crabs would eat the bits remaining.

  • I argue if you sweat playing it, it's a sport.
    If you swear playing it, it's a game. :)

  • I've shared my grandmothers recipe before, worth sharing again. Caution: Makes a metric fuckton of pancakes. Make for multiple people. You cannot eat this many pancakes.

    1 Qt. Buttermilk
    2 TBS Baking Soda
    1 TBS Salt
    4 Cups Flour
    2 TBS Baking Powder
    1 Pkg Dry Yeast
    1/4 C. Oil
    6 Eggs
    1 cup of milk the next morning.

    Put 1 quart buttermilk in large bowl and add 2 TBS Baking SODA and 1 TBS Salt.

    Mix 4 cups of flour with 2 TBS Baking POWDER, stir this mixture into the buttermilk.

    Don't mix up the SODA with the POWDER. You might not think it will make a difference, it does.

    Add one package of dry yeast, 1/4 cup oil. Mix.

    Whip 6 eggs till foamy, fold in mixture. Do not use electric mixer, use mixer tine by hand.

    Pour batter into large pitcher or bowl. Cover with foil. Refrigerate overnight.

    The next morning put a cup of milk in the pitcher to thin the batter.

    Heat pan until hot. Add 3 TBS or so of oil, when water droplets sizzle in the pan it's ready.

    Cook pancakes in 2s or 3s. When the tops are covered in steam-holes then it's ready to flip. 2 to 3 minutes or so. Can be as fast as 1 minute. Do not turn your back or they will burn.

    Lasts 10 days to 2 weeks in fridge. Yeast will turn black over time, this is normal. Stir batter before use.

  • White cake mix is easy though:

    2¾ cups cake flour
    1½ cups granulated sugar
    4 teaspoons baking powder
    1 teaspoon fine salt, sea salt or himalayan
    4 tablespoons softened unsalted butter

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.

    Then use a pastry blender to cut the butter into the dry ingredients. Blend until the butter is not longer detectable and the mix is a fine crumb.

    Store in an airtight container and refrigerate until ready to use.

    Alternately, skip the butter step until just before use. No need to refrigerate then.

  • Invasion of the Bodysnatchers is inherently scary, but it carries an added meaning when you realize it was capitalizing on 1950s fears of communism.

  • This is the part where this conversation goes off the rails. Removing everything under this. It's not productive.

  • Soccer's an ideal sport for lizards with short arms. ⚽ 🦖

  • At least if I bought the 20 ounce bag, that's divisible by 4, and taking out 12, leaves 8... but still...

    Baking shouldn't start with a Tower of Hanoi puzzle.
