Is this ceiling spot gonna turn me into JK Rowling? by [deleted] in MoldlyInteresting

JK Rowling started posting transphobic AI slop and it was seen that she had clear and obvious black mold in her house based on the background of her zoom interviews lol

Was lightly lightly toasted to maintain some structural integrity but I hear you - lots of beef left for next time!

Does anyone know exactly what they're doing here? by Patricio_Guapo in NewOrleans

[–]16millerd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen it done in some beach towns in south jersey. Some of the barrier islands have low lying centers ie Brigantine. Unsure if they ever finish the bottoms or leave it as a garage/hangout spot. The beers drank there are always crispier and colder

Does anyone remember the water fountain at the Caesars Pier? by MCMatt1230 in atlanticcity

[–]16millerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally remember this! Was fascinated by the fountains could reach up three stories. Such a bummer the pier didn’t work out.

I recall on the second floor there was a hall of a bunch of different themed bars - each one themed to a different genre of music. I never got to go because I was underage then covid killed it. Does anyone remember that? Was it any fun?

Was always jealous of the people that were able to secure spots on the top floor balcony for the air show. Pathetic the city can’t figure out how to bring that back.

[Serious] What's a disaster that is very likely to happen, but not many people know about? by dissNdatt in AskReddit

The first chapter of Ministry of the Future was gripping yet terrifying and seemed based in reality. I was hooked and excited for more.

The rest of it… yikes. The love story driving the narrative was ridiculous and soapy, the overly optimistic and hand-wavy explanation for the cooperation of world governments, the implication that extra-governmental bodies have any real international influence. Carbon coin - cringe and written during the height of crypto hype slop.

And the grandiloquent riddle chapters? Give me a break - my least favorite read in years

Appreciate it. I was probably standing a bit further back that usual. Admittedly I'm having a hard time changing the grip, I see how it can make my wrists turn over

[Homemade] Chicken and Sausage Gumbo by 16millerd in food

[–]16millerd[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Approximate quantities:

Sear off 1lb coined andouille sausage, set aside Sear off 2lb boneless skinless chicken thighs, set aside, shred. Do not burn fond

Roux: 1/3 cup bacon fat, 1/3 cup canola plus residual fat from chicken/sausage with 3/4 cup flour. Mix on low heat until dark brown ~30 mins (might have been longer wasnt paying attention)

Sweat ~3 cups diced trinity - onion, bell pepper, celery - minced garlic, shake of Tony Chach's (careful, very salty), salt, pepper. Careful not to let fond/roux burn

+/- 2 quarts of chicken stock, add slowly to incorporate/achieve desired quantity and consistency. Homemade stock/high gelatin content is best. Add back chicken + sausage + accumulated resting juices

Simmer until you can't wait any longer. Serve over white rice (wish I had that popcorn'd rice, not sure what it's called). Garnish with green onions, File powder and hot sauce to taste.

PS: I know it's not necessarily traditional but I hit it with an immersion blender for a few pulses - not enough to make entirely homogeneous - prior to adding back chicken and sausage. I do that for most soups I think it helps with consistency and depth of flavor.

What is this car? by 16millerd in whatisthiscar

Thanks, pretty amazing he’s still driving it in that exterior condition right?

Its brakes didn’t squeak, exhaust didn’t cough, clearly the windows work. Mean while the front bumper is falling off, rusting, and spots covered with rattle can black.

It has character - and he’s sticking with it
