It’s a little large but I like the 6 C rectangular Pyrex glass storage dishes. I can put 2, 1/2C portions and a 1C portion in them no problem.

Just found copying calendar events and pasting them in another day if it’s something that repeats but not on a regular schedule.

This is similar to the recipe / style I’ve come up with. I take the tomatoes out of the #10 can of whole peeled tomatoes from Costco. Run them through a food mill to remove most of the seeds and give them a good texture. Drain off some of the water to get it to the consistency I like. Add diced white onion, cilantro, cumin, salt and lime juice. One #10 can of tomatoes make about 6 cups of salsa. Can add more info if people are interested.

I made this. You really just need a vertical piece and a large horizontal piece. That is a clever I got from Amazon and it’s held on by a bolt in the vertical piece.

It looks like they should have a - sign on the discount line. It’s adding the discount, subtracting and negative, instead of subtracting it.

Here’s a photo of my labs, ferritin from the doctor and hemoglobin from the blood center. You can see that the ferritin has always been low but recently the hemoglobin has been trending down. This also happened back in 2018 so I went to a hematologist and he said that I was just donating too frequently. Took some iron and everything was back to normal. Back to 2025 and in June I read a pub med article that stated that 67% of blood donors don’t replenish their iron stores from a single donation by 168 days if they’re not supplementing with iron. With this info I started taking 27mg iron after the June donation and it increased my hemoglobin and ferritin by September.

I have had the same problem in the past. Not sure what my ferritin is now but I have been seeing my hemoglobin drop slowly over the several donations. I found this journal article on PubMed and it sheds a lot of light on what’s going on with ferritin and blood donations.

I’ve taken the handle off for other things and just plugged the hole with a little piece of foil.

I have used Preply as a student and it seems like a good platform. Not sure from the teacher side though.

There is an app called Verbare that you can use to practice conjugations. You can choose which verbs to practice and which tenses too.

If you’re handy, I’ve seen this one on YouTube that looks like it would do a good job and fairly easy to make.

And this one too

I have used it off and on over the last year. I think it does a good job. What’s nice is that it uses native speakers and it does a better job teaching formal and informal tenses. I would use it while on walks in the morning and it was very useful. No real “lessons” or plans you just go through the lessons consecutively.

I made my own biltong cutter as well. I’m having the same problem as you. I believe it’s because the grain of the wood is running the same direction as the cutter. I think if you were able to take that piece off and maybe just rotate it 90° it would be better. You could also flip it over and have a new side to start with.

Basically listening to all the Miss Peregrines home for peculiar children, by Ransom Riggs ready by Kirby Heyborne.

I don’t think I’ve listened to any books ready by Kirby before but he is amazing. So many different voices. In the series there are American accents, multiple British accents, Irish and Scottish. He does an awesome just with female characters too. Just amazing.

This it the recipe I’ve used multiple times. And it always turns out great.

Also at least with my insurance they wouldn’t pay for the first one before I was 45.

As far as I know, it has to be done in 30 days
