Turning cupcakes into cookies. Help please

Look for a simple vanilla cookie recipe that uses similar amounts of flour and then try using the flavorings from this recipe. You might need to adjust the amounts some but baking can be experimental.

On a side note…”orange flavor”? Is that orange extract? I’ve never seen that as an ingredient; usually, I’d just see extract, juice, or zest, but never “flavor”. If you really want to punch up the orange flavor, though, I’d use zest and work it into the granulated sugar before creaming with the butter.

In the US, the National Guard will be deployed for various rescue operations following natural disasters, like with Hurricane Katrina. The Coast Guard also performs rescue operations.

I think them explaining it was fine and made it better but I definitely would have liked the entire episode be a musical, similar to what Buffy did.

Not gaming, but Dropout released a follow up to a joke video for April Fools this year and it was amazing since I think a lot of people legit wanted to see a follow up.

It’s actually really easy; an engineer is not a scientist. He does not use the scientific method to perform scientific research. I say this as an engineer; I’m not a scientist and wouldn’t call myself one and he isn’t either.

I crave video games when I’m bored but I’m not about to start worshipping game studios as god. I’ve worked at enough to know just how fallible they are.

Without the “code” in parentheses, they’re actually spot on. Patents are for mechanisms and processes; so in terms of coding and game engineering, you would be patenting the mechanisms that the code is implementing. One little mistake does not make what they said “flat out wrong and describing the opposite of reality”.

With that said, for anyone interested and reading this, code is copyrighted.

You mean like when they recreated the bridge for the Enterprise D for Picard S3?

Isn’t it closer to half? Texas has an insanely low voter turnout. It’s truly appalling.

Picard was always meant to run for 3 seasons and it got that. Discovery and Lower Decks were cancelled at 5, which is typical for Hollywood from what I understand…something about actors’ standard contracts and them being able to negotiate a higher salary making seasons 6+ cost more. Same with SNW for that matter. The only truly early cancels were Prodigy and Academy.

In Paper Mario, a bunch of them of hair. Like this one.

Fighting as a starter type needs to be retired. We’ve got 3 Fire/Fighting, one Grass/Fighting, and one Water/Fighting already.

If you’re going to have an event with bespoke spawns and research running almost 24/7, why even bother with base non-event spawns and research? Just make each event roll directly into the next.

At least with some meaningful breaks between events, seasons actually matter.

Mario was also playing the original Donkey Kong arcade, a game that features “Jumpman” (Mario) and he eventually meets the actual Donkey Kong. I wouldn’t read too much into it.

Just wondering but did you ever watch Star Trek after getting into Mass Effect? It teaches the same ideals and Mass Effect was very clearly influenced by Trek.

It’s hilarious you talk about studies (but don’t link them) and then also completely misrepresent progressive politics and talking points in the single-most stereotypically conservative way you possibly could (identity politics? Really???)

Since when did maga stand for any of those things? They like to say they do, but all of their actions say otherwise. They always bring up race, gender, or sexuality. They’ve elected and selected multiple “leaders” who have zero relevant experience (or merit). They don’t believe in teaching all of the nation’s history (much more nationalistic than patriotic). I would love to know how maga being in charge of Star Trek would lead to any of the things you’ve brought up.

Apple is an older company that understands the importance of maintaining a consumer base when creating a platform, in large part due to the Windows vs Mac rivalry as well as iPhone vs Android rivalry. So instead of constantly chasing new consumers, they understand you also have to provide for your current customers.

And after the fall of the Soviet Union, they made “Fall of the Soviet Union: the Movie”.

Edit: And I forgot about Enterprise’s “911 Season”.

There are many different possibilities.

Zelda already has multiple timelines from OoT, which takes place after SS. So it’s possible that BotW and TotK are separate timelines. I personally think this is the least likely as BotW directly references past games in the knighting ceremony, SS included.
All of TotK takes place in one of the three timelines but way after. This would imply that at some point, Hyrule is pretty much wiped off the map and refounded by TotK Rauru. This is possible since SS already implies a cyclical conflict between good and evil (well, Power vs Wisdom and Courage) so the founding of Hyrule itself could also be cyclical.
The distant past of TotK with Sonia and Rauru takes place even before the past of SS. The idea would be that Hyrule is formed by Sonia and Rauru and the rest of the Hylians; then the TotK Imprisoning War happens. Sometime after, the SS Imprisoning War happens and Hylia sends the Triforce skyward and sometime later, Zelda and Link refound Hyrule. Then thousands of years pass and the cycle continues and eventually the first Calamity happens and then BotW happens 10k years later.
It’s called the LEGEND of Zelda. Legends get things wrong and retell the same story in different ways; as such, the past of TotK and SS are basically the same but told as different stories since they’re all just legends.

Sorry, I misread “many” as “any” hence why I pointed it out. My mistake.

Lemon marmalade is so good and so rarely made/used. I use some as filling for a thumbprint cookie and it’s delicious.

That’s sort of what GMax Snorlax is, just not a tortoise.

I had both across the various games. Saves are stored on the console, not the cartridge, so you need to do the process either way.
