Old Fashioned Sloppy Joes Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 lb. ground beef
• 1/4 cup finely diced onion (frozen is fine)
• 1 clove garlic, minced (or 1/8 teaspoon dried garlic powder)
• 3/4 cup ketchup
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• Dash of ground black pepper
• For serving: sandwich buns

Instructions

1. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef, onion, and garlic until the meat is no longer pink. Drain.
2. Whisk together the remaining ingredients to make the sauce. Add to the skillet with the beef, onion, and garlic.
3. Simmer uncovered over low heat for 10-15 minutes, stirring regularly, until the mixture reaches desired consistency. You can keep the skillet covered if you like the sauce "sloppier." If the sauce is too thick, gradually stir in a small amount of warm water or beef broth. If the sauce is too thin, gradually sift in a small amount of flour while stirring vigorously to thicken.
4. Spoon beef mixture onto buns and serve!

Recipe Variations

• Use both Ketchup and BBQ Sauce: for a zesty spin, swap out half of the ketchup and replace it with barbecue sauce instead.
• Sloppy Joe Recipe with Tomato Sauce: For a slightly less sweet Sloppy Joe sauce, replace half of the ketchup with tomato sauce. You can even omit the ketchup entirely and use tomato sauce instead. Just sweeten with brown sugar to taste.
• Homemade Sloppy Joes with BBQ Sauce: If you love the zippy flavor of barbecue sauce, swap out the ketchup and replace it with your favorite brand of store-bought (or homemade) bbq sauce.
• Add Seasoning: Use your favorite seasonings like chili powder or cumin, or herbs such as oregano, thyme, basil, or parsley.
• Include Vegetables: Make healthy Sloppy Joes by sneaking in extra veggies. Try diced bell pepper, shredded zucchini or squash, or grated carrots.
• Try Different Meat: Instead of ground beef, use ground pork or ground turkey, or a blend of meats.
• Make Them Spicy: Add crushed red pepper flakes or cayenne to your sauce.
• No Sugar Sloppy Joe Recipe: omit the brown sugar and use no-sugar-added ketchup.

I don't know about MicroPython or Arduino specifically, but I often call code I wrote in C or C++ using ctypes from regular Python.

That's more or less how I read it, yeah. Pretty sure the authors were thinking in terms of GUIs having a field to enter that info when you make a user account on a system but I think something like that would meet the intent for programs to access the user's declared age.

I was thinking more like, does it break the material?

So... what happens when a bird shits on it? 🤔️

If the account really matters to you, hire a lawyer and sue them.

Otherwise, well, welcome to Lemmy.

Go read the actual bill. It has issues, but it's not an ID requirement. It's an "are you over 18?" type of check (with several brackets) at the OS level.

It ships with Enigma (see the Steam page). It used to be Denuvo -- which is why I didn't buy the game at launch -- but I still ain't buying it if they're shipping it with that shit.

It's still shipping with shitty DRM, so it's still a hard pass from me.

Not on my copy -- I double checked before posting.

Could be there's a different version of the DVDs with it though. 🤔️

You can upload basically whatever to catbox.moe as long as it's <200MB. You don't need to register. Just upload the file and post links to your work on lemmy.

Yeah. I expect it was probably some licensing bullshit like either they couldn't get the rights again for the re-release or it cost to much to get them, but I don't know why they did it specifically. It irked me when I realized they'd changed it though.

If we're including borderline fantasy options, a private Zeppelin might be neat...

They changed the intro song when it was released on DVD. When the show was originally airing, the intro was "Girls on Film"　(グラビアの美少女) by Duran Duran; the version on my official (Funimation) DVD copy has "Shutter Speed" instead though which is much less memorable.

When I was a kid, we had a class on Logo in, I think, 4th grade? (It was either that or 5th grade.) It wasn't particularly hard to make various geometric drawings with it, but it also wasn't clear how to use it to do anything beyond that.

I used to tinker with Visual Basic on the school's computer lab at recess sometimes around then. One of the people who ran the lab showed me just enough to try to make a calculator UI (e.g. push number buttons and have it add numbers to the display) but didn't really explain the principles enough for me to get further than that. (I think he loaned me a book on BASIC that I tried to read on the school bus, but I couldn't get very far with it at that age.) I ran into a macro virus back then as well, and I was able to understand the logic for erasing files on a particular date when it was pointed out, but I wasn't able to make something like that or analyze it myself at that age.

I also tinkered with HyperCard and some other creative software at home at around that age. I did not understand HyperTalk but could do a few simple things. I also stumbled into AppleScript but didn't understand it. I think I recorded macros with it, and tried to modify what it spat out without much success. I remember running into something about timezone conversion that was really cryptic to me as a kid -- that might have been the first time I encountered the term "GMT"? There's a lot of little things like that which will trip up a young beginner...

I think I also checked out a book on Java from the library that had a CD-ROM with the compiler on it somewhere in that 4th~6th grade age range (don't remember more specifically when) -- I was definitely too young to for that. I was able to install the software, type in a program from the book, and make it run but I wasn't able to do anything beyond that with it and it was too tedious for me to persevere through the cryptic parts when I was that young.

Somewhere around 5th ~ 6th grade I found Game Maker and taught myself that by tinkering with the sample games. For example, by making alternative level layouts for the Pac-Man clone and adding in some simple things like one-way teleporters. I used the drag and drop interface at that age with one of the really early versions before the 4.0 UI re-design -- it was a lot more approachable as a beginner, IMO, before that redesign. (With the changes it was better for me as a hobbyist as I got older though.) I eventually taught myself how to use its scripting language through a mixture of reading the manual and trial-and-error. The manual didn't explain the basics of programming very well, but the reference documentation for it was easy enough to understand that once I got a handle on the basics I could do a lot with it. I'm not sure how old I was when I got a good handle on it. Maybe 7th or 8th grade? I was able to make some fairly complex things from scratch by 9th grade and taught myself C++ in high school.

I definitely could've learned a lot more conceptually earlier if I'd had more direct mentoring from someone who could code; I had to figure out a lot by trial and error. My knowledge of math, reading ability, etc. limited my ability to self-teach from books. People around me were also rarely able to answer questions when I hit something above my expected grade level (e.g. I remember asking what "sigma" meant to a math teacher in 7th grade after encountering it in a book and she didn't really understand my question and told me it was another variable like x instead of recognizing that I was asking about summations but didn't know that word yet... I eventually made the connection between it and for loops but I could've understood it then if I'd had the vocabulary to ask the right questions or had the sample text handy when I asked...) In retrospect, I'm surprised at how bad my teachers in high school were when I tried to get help with figuring out how to move things in circles in a game I was writing -- that was all just basic trig.

I guess to summarize: if they're motivated, yeah, you can get a surprisingly long way very young.

No kids Trick-of-Treating showed up at my door yesterday, but holy shit it was loud outside. People (adults) were lining up stretching around the block to get into some event, I guess, in an adjacent building. Lots of yelling / very loud talking, honking, etc. Bunch of police sirens at like 3am or so. Some Friday nights are kind of like that normally around here, but this one was extra rowdy.

A breakfast burrito is kind of like a quick quiche. 🤔️

So... is this a metaphorical kind of eating, or are we getting a vore anime?

I remember seeing one of those hot springs depicted in Wolf's Rain. Probably the imagery was inspired by the Grand Prismatic Spring at Yellowstone specifically -- but I could be mistaken.
