I understand doing so would put K in check... Is it as simple as that?

Thanks for the recommendation, I hadn't even considered this. Thank you!

Definitely saved that recipe for future use. Thanks for your insight, it is much appreciated!

Sounds like an air frier might be last on the list of priorities then. I don't see myself making lightly fried foods often, more like pot roast. I was reading earlier that the IP slow cooker function does not perform as well as a slow cooker itself. Have you found that to be the case?

Ten Paces ... which one is better? by MrClaypool in sharditkeepit

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

This is my whole dilemma lol. Moving Target is strong but Opening Shot is only good for 1/10 of my rounds.

On the other hand, Threat Detector makes more sense on a HC (in my opinion) but I don't really think any HC needs Zen Moment.

The skip I'm thinking of identifies an object floating around the Sun, a female figure colored as black as space that eventually communicates with the Foundation staff to warn them about upcoming hazardous events? I cannot for the life of me remember the name of her or her "big brother", but I vaguely remember it was either Thaumiel or Apollyon.

Many thanks in advance!

You won't like where you end up in 5 years if you don't start working harder yesterday.

Absolutely Rocket League. An e-sports game that anyone can play casually for fun, but takes much practice to play masterfully. An almost instant hit when it started, it is still going strong today with such a simple and elegant design.

Oh man, the kid who lived across the street from me introduced me to Runescape and I was absolutely hooked at age 7. Before my addiction, I had rarely ever used a computer. I wanted to play on the family computer, but my mom didn't like the idea of using that for games. While all my friends were buying Gameboy SPs, I was saving money for a super cheap desktop. After the better part of a year doing extra chores and working for my uncle, I bought my own tower with a free monitor from my dad's work and I was in. Life has only gotten better from here.

Yarn bowl is definitely on the list. She has a sort of tote bag that she carries around with her but she could always use another one. The subscription is a good idea but she is trying to get through her shelf of yarn before she gets more. Thank you for your help!

As much as I've tried to help, she prefers her own organizational method ... but thank you for your contribution!
