I saw that. Hopefully that is a true energy return and not some marketing 80%. Cool if true

Interesting idea in its simplicity. If they can get large returns of energy close to batteries that would be worthwhile especially if using only local easy to obtain materials. What a cool system

Muppet Christmas Carol.

A reminder that the true meaning of Christmas is scaring rich people into being more generous. Also Kermit

It’s just our speaker I know

We love our record player. It’s soothing to listen to a whole album that’s higher quality and to take the time to pick it out. We still stream but it’s nice to own something analog

I hate having to rent everything. I am thinking about going back to DVDs for movies.

Some social media has a schedule post for business accounts. You have to pay a certain fee to be a business account. So you can do it but you have to pay. The found that people are willing to pay for the feature so they won’t give it away for free

There’s a lot of cultural forces keeping people at jobs. We’re told to never quit from everything. We’re told it in school, movies, sitcoms and stories so it feel wrong and bad to quit. Especially true for work. The Office made Josh Porter the villain for quitting a failing paper company for a senior position at a successful company. And that’s a feel good sitcom

Not too mention that our work is highly tied to our identities to a fault. The classic first question you ask anyone is what do you do for work. Not too mention the guilt business put on people to come in because their coworkers have to fill in. Since most people like their coworker this feels like letting them down. But it’s the company letting them down by not replacing you or staffing at the correct level.

So everything you are feeling is normal especially if you have never quit a job before. It’s hard but you are going to feel amazing when you do it. There’s no feeling like quitting a job you hate

I had a friend in college who would order a cheese pizza no sauce from Dominos most meals. It was so dry and I don’t know why anyone would like it

They are the best and are both in The Food Lab. I think most people make those recipes, especially the stuffing. An alternative meat and a break from pure starch is needed.

The gravy shaker is to dissolve the flour easier. You take some liquid out and mix it with the flour in the shaker and pour it back in. Its apparently a sin to not have one in the Midwest. Even though I can do the same thing with a whisk and I only make gravy at most once a year for Thanksgiving. I think I have used it once

Hiding in the kitchen is a very important part of the cooking process.

Well I am only in charge of stuffing, (which we agreed to and will share) and cranberry sauce (which I make because I want to eat it even though no one else will). Since we are going to be going to two locations back to back I will be making the cranberry sauce ahead of time, likely on Tuesday while working from home. That way I can taste and tests until it is spiced to my taste since no one else will really eat it.

As far as stuffing / dressing goes I will likely make it ahead of time as well. This will be done likely on Wednesday and will heat it up Thursday morning to crisp up the top. For the first location I will do it at home and the second I will do it on the shared oven. Its not ideal to crisp up the tops in the shared oven but we are going to go there early to escape the first Thanksgiving early.

We did the whole deal at our place a few years ago and it was chaos. We made the bread, the stuffing and all sides ahead of time. We planned to have the turkey ready to rest when people were suppose to arrive. That way the oven was open and I could focus on the gravy. The gravy ended up great even though I didn’t have a gravy shaker which was apparently the greatest sin. Don’t worry we got multiple of them for Christmas that year

Does he though? We see Hermes, filing, holding meetings, firing and hiring people. He basically is running the business for the professor as well as stamping some forms. We don’t ever see or hear of him doing anything with accounting or balancing the books.

Hermes isn’t an accountant he’s a bureaucrat.

It was 19-dickety-two. We had to say “dickety” cause that Kaiser had stolen our word “twenty”

Wearing onions on your belt. Especially those big ugly yellow ones

Everything in moderation including moderation

I love Yoga with Adrienne. She videos can either be difficult or easy but they all relax me and loosen me up. I highly recommend her videos.

My dnd group has a garden hermits outside their base. Well the garden hermits is just one part of the multi personality monster in the basement but same idea

Exactly. Do better with your money. Hire garden hermits. Make beautiful timeless jewelry or make your own museum. What do they do? Spend it on Super PACs, cars, ugly modern houses and stupid business investments.
