This is for raw processed chicken that you can buy at the grocery store. Processing plants need to chill raw meats before shipping to the store. So if you see a pack of chicken breasts, it was either water chilled or air chilled before packing and shipping.

My team is literally on the other side of the country 😆

Where I’m at, they got rid of space to put people. So now we have to hot seat our desks instead of having a dedicated desk. Very cool.

You gotta buy “air chilled” chicken. Water chilled chicken absorbs lots of extra water and shrinks like that.

As someone who just bought car last year, I think Kia is the closest one serving that market. We made a list of potential cars that had what we wanted. It had to be under $35k and it had to have certain features without needing to subscribe to some service. We added a few Kiad to our list and I’ll admit they were quite tempting as they had everything we wanted for less than all the other cars on our list. In the end we ended up getting a Prius, but the Kias were pretty close for us.

Agreed! I think this applies to any game where you have to explore both the world and the gameplay. It gives you these incredible “ah-ha” moments that you’ll never forget and have an impact on your gaming for the rest of your life. I think for me the number 1 game I had this experience with was Animal Well. Our group played both Animal Well and Outer Wilds for our indie game club and every single person had multiple moments like this for each game.

Beds seem to have their own personalities that interact with your own. You likely picked out your own bed and it’s just right for you and feels the best! But then you stay at your folks place and the bed they offer does the job but it’s sort of old and stuff and not as inviting as yours. Or maybe you stay with a friend on their futon and it’s lumpy and the sheets stick to your clothes. Nothing beats your bed at home though.

I hate to break it to you but PFAs are in a lot more than just nonstick pans. They’re on literally anything that might be a tad bit on the non stick side such as dental floss or the cardboard under store bought cakes. They’re on nearly all water resistant products such as shoes, rain coats, and camping gear. They’re used as a fire retardant which means if you live near an airport, military base, or fire training facility your water supply is likely full of them. And even after all of this, we know that the factories that make and utilize these coatings don’t tend to dispose of them properly and taint the water supply in nearby areas. And if that wasn’t enough, these bonds have been found in water supplies and even rainwater around the world because they don’t break down easily.

TLDR: PFAs are in loads of products you may not expect, have proliferated worldwide water supplies, and don’t break down easily. This is about far more than nonstick pans and people don’t have a say in being exposed to them.

Tariffs and inflation are only half the problem in my opinion. For some items, prices have increased and continue to increase for those 2 reasons. But there’s a hell of a lot of items made right here on US soil that have increased far more than they should have. It’s the egg bullshit all over again. Companies are using inflation and tariffs as an excuse to increase prices as high as possible. You know how I know that eggs or granola shouldn’t cost $10? Because fresh local farm eggs cost $4.50 after they increased their price due to the cost of feed increasing. And I personally started making homemade granola and know that it doesn’t cost nearly $10 per 16oz for the raw materials. Bunch of greedy fucks making a bad situation worse.

Counter point - Justin’s dark chocolate peanut butter cups 🤤

I’m willing to give you 1 out of 3. No we do not put chocolate on everything. No we do not put ranch on everything, but some unhealthy individuals put it on every vegetable. Yes we deep fry everything and goddamn does it taste good.

Some libraries do have tools! It’s the best!

One summer break, I came home from college and needed a job. Previously, I had worked a very cushy job at a video store, but we all know what happened to those. My dad had been working odd jobs at the local race track and said they could use my help. I figured why not, it would certainly be different than the other food service jobs I had in the past. Well let me tell you, it ended up being the absolute worst version of food service I would ever experience. For starters, the company in charge of managing the food stands didn’t train me properly before the first race of the season. They would just sort of put me on various tasks that had nothing to do with what would be required on race day like cleaning the booths and inventorying product. So when the first race came, I tried my best but I had no idea what I was doing. I didn’t know there was a special procedure for keeping track of ice bags. I didn’t know who to go to to get into the coolers to stock drinks when we ran out. Etc etc etc. They weren’t happy, but it was the first race, so this time they had me shadow someone for a few small races before the next big one. Well it turns out that the rules are different for small races vs big races. And also there were 3 different tracks to learn where everything is. So shadowing for small races means I was only learning the layout and rules for all races. While all of this was happening, it was summer and things were getting hotter and hotter every day. And of course, big races mean longer hours to boot! So by the time the first big race came around, I still wasn’t properly trained, they were getting 130F readings on the racetrack, and I had to work a 13 hour shift. Oh and this was a 3 day event, so all of that back-to-back. I did the first day, I somehow made it out alive and didn’t make any major mistakes. I got home, I passed out, I woke up again the next morning to do it again. I got all the way through security and into the stands to start my shift… And then I passed out. Turns out I had heat exhaustion. After that weekend, they gave me my next shift. I was supposed to start next day, but also, I needed a doctor’s note to return to work. They knew damn well I couldn’t get one that quick. So I said fuck it and just didn’t get one and didn’t show up. I decided I wasn’t going to work that hard for hardly any pay and make myself sick to boot. Only time I’ve ever been fired, but I suppose it was a mutual firing.

I think Red Letter Media summed it up best. Each movie has a great concept and looks fantastic for the time, but the overall story is not very compelling to larger audiences and therefore needs to build up a cult following post theatre release before they can justify making a new film. Sounds about right to me.

Divorce frog!?! I’m dying over here!

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem responded directly to a parody of her in an episode of South Park that targeted the ICE raids, as well as her personally, in August. “It’s so lazy to just constantly make fun of women for how they look,” Noem said of the episode on the Glenn Beck Program podcast, per The Guardian. “If they wanted to criticize my job, go ahead and do that. But clearly they can’t – they just pick something petty like that.”

But she’s cool with all the jokes about her shooting dogs?

No idea. If home depot sells it, then props. It looks a hell of a lot better and has more detail than the giant skeleton. I suppose it’s also possible the owner just spruced it up themselves as well.

Someone in my neighborhood recently put up what I can only describe as a custom life-size statue of the headless horseman on a skeleton horse. It’s huge and it’s sick as fuck! I’m not typically one that cares for holiday decorations, but that one has my respect.

I seriously thought this was the Onion WTF
