We did not do shit to improve our old house in Texas from when we bought it 2016 to when we sold it on 2025, the appraised value went from 195k to 331k. Its based on sales of similar houses in the area and (theoretically) capped at a 10% increase per year assuming you have a homestead exemption. They can also do cap loss recovery for some period of time after appraisals stop increasing to recoup the “lost cap” from years when there was a greater than 10% increase but the homestead exemption prevented them from getting all of it.

This is something that The Satanic Temple needs to get on board with.

The rit synthetic fabric dye works on some plastics as well. I originally got that to use on my gamecube controller port cover and figured why not try it here. I did the purple one first, and when it turned out more pink colored I tried adding the black since I wanted a more olive green color.

The ultrasonic cleaner was just because it had the ability to heat the fluid inside and maintain the temperature rather than boiling and letting it cool down. I am curious if running the ultrasonics would have made a difference in how well the dye was mixed but I didn’t test that.

I don’t have any additional resources, I learned about this stuff on youtube from a guy who was doing a wii shell. I’ll see if I can find the link.

Well, thats appalling.

Yeah, that’s what I meant. No one thinks macca’s makes that food because they care about flavor or your health, they care about money.

Any of the original handhelds gb, gbp, gbc, gba, sp, etc are all super well supported for mods and mostly cheap as well.

The best flavors come from people who don’t care about your long term health.

Kingmakers if it ever comes out…

That used to work but no longer does on a lot in my area. Stuffing recipts in the speaker holes could help if you know what I mean

I want to also ad the people who are determined to put ads on FUCKING EVERYTHING. I grew up in the 90s, I remember when gods damn gas pumps were silent… I remember when the flashiest thing we saw on the store was when the soda displays were made into cool shapes… Get off my lawn and take your damn roofing company sign with you.

Besiege is great. Its fun and really accessable even on potato hardware. Its also nice because they are small bite style levels. You can really easily pop in and out.

Ok so I am not crazy then! Yeah, its miserable with this setup. I bought a modkit for the og controller for that exact reason.

I have the gamecube one and the og xbox one. They feel better than the gc ones and about the same as the og xbox one.

My ass… ehyahahaha.

I don’t have a proper gc controller but I do have the retrofighter gc. For perfect dark and goldeneye, the “modern” layout on the 8bitdo controller feels really odd. I was not able to get comfortable with any of the layouts. Then again, its been years since I played around on a console and not been able to tweak the individual mapping so it could just be me.

For racing games and platformers they are great.

I work 7-4 with an hour at lunch.

For things like squash, zucchini, and especially eggplant, I like to cut them, salt both sides, and put them in the fridge for like an hour. Then come back to them, pat them dry, THEN add your oil/fat before grilling them. On eggplant in particular, it seems to cut the bitterness. On all of them. It makes them brown faster without getting soggy.

How did you prep the shrimp, they look amazing.

Honestly you can do probably 90% of this on a stove with a griddle pan. I grabbed a big flat cast iron flat griddle and I use it for most of my indoor stove cooking or when I am only making a smaller meal. Yeah, its not a substitute for charcoal or a smoker but for most of your “grilled” meals, you can get 80-90% as good as proper grilled. Its my preferred way to do steaks full stop. Nothing gets a good crust on a steak like a reverse sear on ripping hot flat cast iron.

Hash browns alone make it worth it!
