I honestly had no idea what was in chorizo. I had been making chili with it at home and it came time to make it for work, I stopped by the market near work and they didn’t have any. I was all “FINE!, I’ll make my own” and looked it up, there are TONS of variations. The one I went for was basically vinegar, coriander, cinnamon, cloves, and most of the spices I already use in chili.

One of my favorite taco shops made one that was very hot and just a touch sweet the cinnamon was forward which I didn’t care for at first, but it ended up being amazing, it was also processed fine like round beef. I’ve been trying to replicate that for a while.

At least we finally answered the Fermi Paradox.

Thats why they put hand in quotes… it was sarcasm implying that the character needs to see a doctor about his depression

It’s all the Dunning-Kruger effect. We are cursed to continually fail on the side of you don’t know what you don’t know.

I had this idea in my teens that we really needed a common sense brigade. Small groups of people jury style that would just go from place to place and say hey that’s stupid Don’t do that. Because I could see right from wrong I assumed that we just needed a bunch of people that could also see right from wrong to go around and lead the idiots to reasonable decisions. It was very easy for my 15-year-old mine to see black and white everywhere. It’s all good versus evil and smart versus stupid.

Many decades later, I know grasp that most of the world’s problems are because people tries to fit everything into black and white.

In support I say we should make a national registry of 6 ft deep holes with no logs and the ability just to remove one of the holes with a click. We don’t know how they get there, we don’t know how they go away…

A good project manager is generally worth a couple of bodies they’re helping manage. Unless your teams are all comprised of Superstars, they get more done with less.

There’s not enough information supplied.

Business Insider has a substantial paywall version. It’s an essay from Brittany Patterson read to a Jane Ridley, verified by Business Insider.

It’s much more detailed and less flowery than Reason.

Soren (tween in question) is homeschooled

Had to take another 1/4 to the doctor

Soren could not be found so they left him, they have 16 acres, she assumed he was outside

She took 1/4 to the doctor

Soren got bored and went to talk to a friend’s grandmother that worked at a gas station, she wasn’t there, he went to the Dollar Store, police brought him home.

Was stopped by a concerned neighbor, he ignored her and kept walking. She called the cops.

Deputy hauled her off, booked her and locked her up under arrest on a charge of wreckless conduct. Out on bail.

wreckless conduct: Daring or bold, but also irresponsible Willfully disregarding rules, norms, or social conventions Showing a lack of concern for consequences or potential harm to others

The deputy said it wasn’t safe because it was a dangerous road. She said all kinds of things could have happened, including being kidnapped.

30 MPH road

Maybe he was doing something he REALLY shouldn’t have been doing.

Maybe they had it out for her for truancy vs homeschooling

Maybe she REALLY pissed in the deputy’s Wheaties,

Maybe it’s not the first time?

Smalltown shenanigans, police overreach, nanny state neighbors are friends with the cops.

Take your pick; it might make a nice bingo card.

Can we please start holding the democrats responsible

Can we please stop pretending that no one wants that and just making it the only answer every time someone wants someone to stop doing something else shitty? YES I want the democrats to be responsible for for a third party to make it in, but this broken record crap is getting old.

“wife”s nudes on state sponsored news?

I doubt he cares about that at all… kinda shocked he doesn’t just come out and say yeah, that’s what I’m fucking.

Then again, that was just their warning shot that they’re serious. If they have something more substantial…

There are photos of him hanging with Epstein.

Ghislaine Maxwell said in court that he frequented Epstein’s Manhattan mansion, where she would introduce him to her friends and acquaintances.

If there was anything to that, and the KGB had some media to support that fact. Certainly, some decent part of his base is unshakable, but not the whole base. It would have to be some pretty gross crap, but I don’t think it’s anywhere near impossible.

So the story goes, they have blackmail against him. Then he made some comments that he might not pay up after getting in. When they released blackmail, it was in order to make sure he pays, not to just call retribution. They have more, he’s their sock puppet.

TBF, any of the big players are rife to capitulate to fed demands with the admin changes. Keep that crap out of Facebook, X, Google, Microsoft, unencrypted chat.

I’m surprised someone hasn’t made a list up of right-wing drivel to ‘ban’ and have it disappear

send it back

Just pay the end companies to put stickers on it

Every single one of those answers is straight out of the mouths of Fox News. If you don’t disable open nationwide propaganda broadcasts, you’ll never fix the problem.

You know, I’ve never tried it with chili, but I’ll bet it would be wonderful. I’m thinking the cardamom’s going to get lost really quickly, I would probably add it once at about the middle of the cooking, and then lightly dust it again at serving for the aroma.

No, ham radio deluxe, Topaz Labs, phrase Express, on Black Friday they’re half their normal price, if you come back in February it is twice the price that it is on Black Friday. Software companies are a special case. While it takes a lot of money and or effort to make their product, minting that product is particularly cheap. Same concept for steam sales. The real advantage is selling the product very cheaply a couple of days a year gets it out in the public more and they end up with more word of mouth sales.

Mostly electronics, pharmaceuticals, medical equipment. Honestly though, that’s probably just a matter of convenience because we import most of that stuff.

If you use cinnamon and cloves in chili, the cinnamon and cloves should be almost undetectable. The spice is meant to provide a warm undertone.

Realistically, if you want to properly experience it, forget adding cinnamon and add good quality chorizo. It has cinnamon, but brings a lot more to the table.

I make chili for work once a quarter or so. I make two batches, one Vegan, one Fantastic (ok kidding)

Yes, you can use just about any meat substitute they are all fantastic. Slices of seitan, TVP, Small chunks of drained and pressed low moisture tofu, morning star sausage. The spices destroy any of the finer flavors, so you’re just in it for the texture you really can’t go wrong because the only no-no is gristle.

Before the meat alternatives got decent in the past few years, I always just made both batches with beans.
