Brought peace?

Irrigation! I need to rewatch this, it’s been too long.

Roads?

It’s ok, we understand here. This is your safe space. If we’re going to be damned, let’s be damned for what we really are.

Piping in with some odd history info. They were originally made to give theater patrons something to watch while the main film was re-wound. Theaters used to play the same movie on repeat all day until they got a new film, then it was that movie all day. There were no “move times”. If you showed up midway you just stayed until it repeated so you could catch the beginning. Also why news reels and other visual media would get played.

Psycho made the change to set times. Hitchcock did not want anyone to accidentally see the end without starting from the beginning. Shortly after that those movie trailers got bastardized into the ads we now know them as.

Thanks Echo. Now play Resident Alien on Netflix and dim lights to 30 percent.

I haven’t been to any outside the US, and admittedly not that many in, with how many there are. So far The Musical Instrument Museum in Phoenix has been one of the most interesting to me and I didn’t see it all by far. There is a “petting zoo” downstairs with a selection of instruments you can play too! It was crazy satisfying to bang a big gong.

Thanks! Some good info to know, when I go to try them!

Charcuterie’s are are always a win, especially with a bonus peanut butter sandwich!

I had to go look those up, I had not heard of them They look tasty but, damn they are a little pricey, at least in my area. Are they pretty good sized/filling?

If i have the time to wait on noodles, spaghetti is a staple. They even make frozen meatballs you can cook in the sauce while it heats up!

I have done the cup and my own bowl with it. I make sure to have my noodles broke in half in my bowl before I pour my water in, then egg. With the cup it gets a little messier because of space but still doable.

Totally replied to the wrong thought chain, I pour boiling water in my cup and drop the egg. Usually once it’s cool enough for me to handle, about 10mins-ish egg has cooked through

Depends on the type, some can microwave in under 5min, others are bake for 15 or maybe in a pan for 10-15. I microwave if on a lunch break or have to be quicker but, oven will taste better. Prob quickest and best tasting with an air fryer for some, I’m not so hip to those though.

Yogurt and granola, with a side of nuts and cheese for an portable, decent protein, heavy snack/light meal. Or, salad with chopped lunch meat and some cheese on top, so I can again get some easy protiens. I also keep some decent frozen meals in case I’m short on cook time and need a hot heavy meal. There are work gaps where I can barely spend time at home and the bagged “family meals” of pasta or mixed veggies are awesome portioned out for multiple meals.

Add an egg to that shit, like an egg drop soup, omg!

I remember tanggrams being great as a kid as solitary creative play. Helps reinforce colors and shapes, their relation/fit with each other. How they combine to form new shapes. Prob more I’ve forgotten.

I had to look up so.e examples using that, some of these are great!https://icon.ink/articles/nominative-determinism-examples-jobs/

Check the HR, insurance extras or employee perks whatever page or call the insurance about Behavioral Health programs. Some companies (not enough by far) have some free or lower cost providers in those programs. Not just EAP, which is also a great offering, just usually not long term. Some, it may just be “virtual in-network visits” are discounted over “in person” visits or something simple. A common obe I see is ~5-8 free w/the matched provider then it rolls into the benefit payments if you keep them going.

Its all a very dumb game and I try to pass along any “tricks” I can find to make the system remotely usable. If anyone has any, throw 'em my way!
