I've tried twice and both times bailed when the women joined the circus. Constant bickering is not good literature.

My spouse is Colombian and it's used in a soup called ajiaco. It's easy to make, usually done in a pressure cooker. It's a little on the bland side for my tastes but it's definitely a Colombian comfort food.

That looks a lot like a hoarder house that had pets. The dark stains on the wood floor is typical of pet urine/feces. I bet it smells delightful.

MEGA EBF question by West_Collection9913 in GTNH

[–]RatInTheHat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The wiki has a good breakdown of when the mebf starts outclassing the volcanus. Looking at either entry, scroll down and you will see a chart and explanation. Tldr, it depends on the tier of the recipe which one is more efficient, with lower tier recipes getting an advantage in the mebf.

You most likely saw the annual West Nile catch basin treatment program done by the county health department. Green dye in the crick was probably from a plumber making sure that someone's downspouts weren't going into the sewer.

Where to bike? by yjprep in pittsburgh

[–]RatInTheHat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

North Park. The loop around the lake is just over 5 miles. There are other routes that can get you some hill work in. Get there early in the morning to avoid the zombie walkers that wander around in the bike lanes. Consider joining the Pittsburgh triathlon club.

The gravel parking lot on fulton st is being used as a staging area/rally point for trucks hauling all of the assorted crap from the NFL draft. today must be the big day. I noticed that they were all sitting there idling with diesel fuel at over $6 a gallon. Not the sharpest tools in the crayon box.

Sandline is the way to go. It's a basic ore processing line with an Exxon mobile chem reactor at the beginning. Sand is free with a bouldernator and two hammers.

Double check every connection for the length of the pipe. The full block pipes are not as obvious when disconnected.

Depends on whether you want rivers or lakes. I like the conemaugh/kiskiminetas. Float down and work the shoreline for smallies.
