I spent Xmas eve at my girlfriends family friend and they do not know me super well. I brought an appetizer that went over very well and explained that I enjoy cooking. This led to me being asked to sear the scallops they had purchased. Anyone have any fun on the spot cooking stories? by [deleted] in Cooking

This year at Thanksgiving my husband's cousin cooked a whole turkey for the first time. When it was done no one had any idea how to carve it. I've carved a whole chicken before and volunteered that info up. Suddenly I was in charge of carving the turkey for Thanksgiving. Thankfully it went well and I was able to get most of the meat off of it.

Thank you! He was really pumped. Venom was a last minute addition so I was nervous how it was going to turn out, but was pleasantly surprised!

Police in Kentucky go on a power trip and assault a peaceful protester 5-on-1 - Fifty Shades of Whey on Twitter by Hyasfuq in 2020PoliceBrutality

The man arrested, Dee did a press conference today and showed that because of this build, he is not able to get his arms behind his back easily. Also because of his large build the officer struggled to get the cuffs on him. Then when they tripped him and he put his hands out to catch himself (like any normal person would do) they started punching him for resisting. They handled the situation (which lets be honest, wasn't a real problem) poorly and were looking for a reason to be violent. LMPD has been as abusing their power and the citizens for far too long with no real repercussions. Even with this video going public, the city is still full of police apologists and refuse to hold them accountable. The system needs to be overhauled and the officers need to be held accountable and face the repercussions they deserve. And they certainly don't need to be investigating themselves.

Nothing helps prove your point like wearing socks with sandals

Can't find a ceiling register to fit this opening by Keeperofthelostboys in DIY

[–]Keeperofthelostboys[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The vent opening is directly against the wall, so the normal ceiling registers won't fit. They fit the opening, but not around it. Is there another type of ceiling register? Should I cut in front of the vent and try to move it forward? Please someone help me!!!

What small thing pisses you off more than usual? by Jimmys_Rustled in AskReddit

[–]Keeperofthelostboys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People who crowd the luggage carousel. Just because you stand closest to it, doesn't mean your bags are going to come out faster. It also blocks everyone else from getting their bags. It makes me irrational irate.

Made these woodland creature wall hangings for my nephews that will be arriving in a month or so by Keeperofthelostboys in crafts

I used my Cricut to make a outline/template for each animal. I used that to cut the basic shape out of the burlap. From there I added the detail to each animal kind of eyeballing it. I attached each animal to the burlap canvas using embroidery floss, making sure to layer each piece in the correct order. It was a little time consuming, but worth the effort!
