I’m so tired of not being able to have amazing things because a few hundred assholes want to cosplay as Smaug…

You know that nut and bolt that’s in an incredibly stupid place and you’d need like 4 adapters and a swivel just to reach it but then you have to also hold the nut in place so you’d need pliers designed by Dr Seuss to be able to grip it without not getting in the way so you just tighten with the tips of your fingers in little wiggles and hope it will hold?

Fuck that, my finger and thumb have the torque of an industrial impact wrench and I can disassembled a fucking train like I’m opening soda bottles.

I like a very specific cross section of Starwars. Lightsaber design, force powers, droids, mandalorian lore. That is the standard I judge by and that puts the cartoon, prequals, and Solo movie above the originals.

My dude, that does not sound like a great environment. What’s going on?

Hey my dude, you need some recipes and some mental health. Im happy to help on both fronts if you need.

Eggs and potatoes are easily the two most versatile substances on the planet, other ingredients to make them into things are actually equally as cheap, spices look expensive until you realize that $4 lasts up to 6 months. To add to that, I was once an incredibly picky eater and found personally and through feeding others that, outside of phobia and dietary constraints, the majority of food preferences is based on a history of bad cooking. Give me deets on your dietary limits and I’ll give you every recipe I know. If there’s anything you’re willing to experiment with, I’ll teach you everything you need to enjoy it. Anything from dry beans, to tofu, to grinding your own amaranth or acorns for flour.

If you’re in the western world, mental health services are decently accessible, even in the US without insurance. Shoot me a DM me your location and situation and I’ll do all the leg work, all you’ll have to do is make the appointment.

As for the information provided, the recipe that springs to mind is cheese gnochi bites.

You’ll need 3 large russet potatoes 2 eggs 1 cup shredded chedder or other strong cheese 1 cup flour Salt, pepper, garlic to taste Oil to fry in

Microwave the potatoes until baked, immediately shock in cold tap water and peal by hand. (fantastic trick for any mashed potatoes as it not only takes less time but does not add any moisture leading to fluffier potatoes)

In a large bowl, mash the potatoes and add the cheese, mix so that the cheese melts and spreads evenly.

Once incorporated, feel mix, if still hot, let it cool until luke warm or cool to the touch then mix in the eggs and spices.

Finally, add flour until it holds together when scooped.

Heat oil on medium in either a pot or skillet depending on oil availability and intended shape.

If using a pot with at least an inch of oil, scoop a glob of potato with a spoon and use another spoon to scrape it into the pot. Fry until golden all the way around.

If using a skillet with shallow oil, put the glob in the pan and gently press it flat leaving some thickness. Then flip like a Patty when golden.

If you have access to gallon bags, you can put the mix in the bag, cut off a corner, and squeeze the mix into the fry like a piping bag. Either making dollups for deep oil or doing a tight spiral for shallow.

Let cool on a wire rack but eat warm. Oil can be strained of bits and stored to fry with later.

You can also add extra cheese and cook in an air-fryer but the texture won’t be fried so much as baked. The extra cheese gets more oil in the mix to help the exterior crust up.

Actually came here to post the same thing but with a garden hose instead of electric wire.

I teally wish we got to see more of that thing in the show! It’s such a stupidly over powered and unique gimmick to not immediately become his signature sidearm and I don’t think he ever uses it after the hospital scene.

I choose to believe the vaporize function is actually a one way transporter beam. It digitizes them into the phaser and just deletes the file instead of sending it somewhere to be rebuilt.

He’s an alien being capable of freely traveling the universe that is itself filled with hyper advanced societies and advanced technology. He could literally just go pick up an asteroid of solid gold, go to a planet of hyper tech, and buy an advanced tech to Bing back to Earth.

He’s also a god like being, he could just personally deal with each individual that currently contributes to a complex systemic issue in an afternoon.

Corporations and businesses now have jail time.

The leading body of the business are each individually arrested for the duration of a full financial audit of their activities to insure that they’ve followed the law and acted in good faith.

The business itself will be lead by an established committee of financial ethics officers until the sentence is fulfilled.

All net profits, dividends, and financial winfalls of the company are forfeited to the federal government for the duration of the sentence.

After the jail time is served, 80% of all aforementioned incomes are garnished to repay victims for damages.

Any other criminal activities found during audits and operations are to be prosecuted individually.

Why not add a clause that they donate their vast wealth and assets to public causes.

Not quite updating, but in my house we say “like sweeping the yard” to indicate that something is pointless and wasting time.

“Boss has us doing obviously pointless busy work today”

“Yeah, next he’ll be having us sweep the yard!”

Or derogatorily:

“I want you to go do that thing.”

“Sure, you want me sweep the yard when I’m done?”

If it’s for thanksgiving, I’m bringing butter basted butternut squash, one in garlic sage and the other in maple burbon. If it’s particularly cold out, I’ll bring a sachette for ponche vino.

If it’s any time you’re making macarons, I’ll be frying up wonton pizza rolls. They’re the opposite of fancy but they meet macarons in the whimsical department and I’m all about that whimsy.

How much time do I have to prepare, what season is it, and who is doing desserts? I cannot stress how much these matter.
