You gotta remember that OR was where a local city thought the way to get rid of a dead whale on their beach was to blow it up with dynamite. Left cars in the parking lot crushed by 1000lb chucks of whale blubber. Imagine filing that insurance claim. Anyway, this is just their grandkids keeping up the same tradition of mediocrity.

I've been using black beans instead of red in chili for years. It's a matter of preference. I think kidneys have a thicker skin. Black or red beans get creamy the longer you cook them.

NEVER BUY STEW MEAT. It's usually round steak (gluteus) which gets tough when you cook it unless you use meat tenderizer. Buy center blade chuck steaks and cut it up into large chunks as they shrink. CostCo has them. Safeway probably not. And why would you buy from meat counter that stinks?

Don't just toss everything into the instant pot. It doesn't brown which creates flavor. Brown the meat in the pot, then add the spices for a minute to let the "bloom". Water is fine but a dry red wine is so so much better.

At the very least buy the right meat and brown it. That will make all the difference.

My cat had the same reaction to the electric can opener before they had pop-tops.

Sadly, they're gone now but I imagine every time I opened a pop-top can of anything, they'd come running into the kitchen.

A friend pointed out the pineapples are bromeliads. This "flower" demonstrates it.

When a friend's parents passed away, he came over to start packing up their house. He found tartar sauce that could vote and little onyx-like bricks of partially consumed cream cheese in the fridge. The spice rack contained Owl Spices which were donated to the state historical society.

This is why I moved everything in my repos to codeberg.org once the Github VP left leaving Microslop in charge. I figured this would happen.

Old chemists never die. They just fail to react.

This assumes he doesn't die in office. How many Wiccans and cardiologists are preying for a blood clot?

Classic plot of most of the Reddit revenge and Youtube channels.

Depends on if this is the Blake's 7 Federation, in which case it's likely some toy Servalan favors. If it's the Star Trek universe, it has to be a "modified" tribble (that won't breed).

Had a slug short out the power supply on an ancient Doorking security door. They don't make that version any more so we upgraded both systems. Now AT&T is charging $350/mo just for the phone line, so these systems have to go. Don't know what the HOA decided, but at least it won't cost a monthly fee. Let's just hope the HOA President stays in office as we use her Internet connection to run the entire complex's network.
