Local store had 20% off video games, which isn’t up to par with past Black Fridays, but eh, meh.
One cheap Christmas present and what will likely be my last Xbox game. (Halo Infinite, bookending Halo as my first Xbox game).


He’s so bad at investigating, he will likely be surprised when it happens!


You still need some way of identifying individual devices on the Internet, if not an IP address, then something that may as well be.
Every network card has a MAC address, but those aren’t routable.


These standard AA rechargeables are 2500, from what other users are saying about losing capacity for the charging circuit, seems accurate:

Three bins, Trash, Recycling, Yard Debris.
Recycling and Yard get picked up every week.
Trash is every other week.
Frankly, I wish trash was weekly too!

“More than 8,000 people from Afghanistan were also granted deportation relief under a separate program called temporary protected status, which Biden extended in 2023 but Mr. Trump chose to end earlier this year.”

And so it begins… home made cranberry sauce:
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup water
1/4 teaspoon table salt
1 tablespoon orange zest
2 tablespoons Grand Marnier
1 12 ounce bag fresh cranberries, washed
Bring the sugar, water, salt, and orange zest to a boil over high heat.
Add the cranberries and return to a boil, then drop the heat to medium.
Simmer for 5 minutes, until 2/3rds or so of the berries have popped. Remove from heat and stir in the Grand Marnier.
Cool to room temp and refrigerate.

Glad I did a double batch because once it all cooked down it just about filled the bowl I had in mind.



Agreed, but the problem is honest attempts to avoid it. Unless you regularly look at labels, you’d be SHOCKED at all the products this crap is in.
Bread has HFCS. Ketchup. It’s literally everywhere.
Try going down the frozen food aisle at your local grocery store and notice all the stuff has cheese.
Yes, consumption is up, but the reason consumption is up is that it’s ubiquitous. And the reason for it isn’t that people are choosing it, it’s being placed in the products people choose because the government is subsidizing those industries.
It’s super hard to tell people “Well, just make healthier choices” when 80% of available choices are unhealthy or 100% if we’re talking affordable choices.
Plot twist: The soul mate is the apple. LOL!

You following me camera guy? 😉
Heat 1 cup of oil in a wok or other large pan.
Take 2 eggs, crack them in a glass and beat them with a fork.
Add a splash of lime juice, fish sauce, and a tablespoon of corn starch and beat it like it owes you money. The corn starch sticks otherwise.
Add whatever other ingredients you want.
When the oil is super hot, hold the glass of egg about a foot above the pan and pour it in slowly.
It will fry and expand into a giant, floating flower of eggy goodness the size of a dinner plate.
Flip it after a 30 to 60 seconds or so to get the other side.
Called a “Thai Omelette”.
