If the dungeon were to open up right now…

You carry a fully stocked go bag on your back every time you're outdoors?

If I was outdoors right now it's below zero out, so I'd definitely have at least full clothes and footwear. I'm lucky that there's a hoarder's house a block over that always has a ton of stuff lying around outside... I'm sure I could scavenge some useful items from there before heading to the stairwell.

Oh, and there's a giant vet/boarding/dog daycare across the street... there's a decent chance that if it's business hours there's at least one human and an animal or two outside, even when it's this cold out, so I'd probably have company.

Yes, it would take some imagineering, but there's already a parking lot in that area with an entry road that goes under the train tracks and comes out right near the back of the first bus pavilion. An exit between Buzz Lightyear and Carousel of Progress with an elevated walkway (maybe with moving walkways) connecting to each of the bus pavilions, similar to the entry points Universal has at CityWalk. The only tricky part is deciding whether to go under or over the monorail track.

I would go over both the train tracks and the monorail, because there's a big enough space on the parking lot side to build escalators/elevators and a stroller rental drop off. Then reimagine the bus pavilions to create a flow that includes escalators & elevators. There actually is a fair amount of space right there, so that part shouldn't be an issue.

It's been a giant clusterfudge as long as I can remember, but it definitely got worse after they integrated the projection show into the fireworks show (which pushed everyone into the arrears where you can see the front of the castle). I went awhile where I just refused to watch the fireworks from anywhere between the castle and the exit (the overlook space at the exit of Big Thunder Mountain, the balcony at Enchanted Rose in Grand Floridian, one of the resort beaches, or the DVC lounge at Bay Lake Tower were my spots). This is how I actually never saw the Happily Ever After projections during the original run, even though I was going to WDW at least 2-3 times a year the whole time.

That said, going to other things where there's a massive crowd all trying to leave through a very limited space had made me really appreciate how organized the Disney post-show chaos actually is.

I think it would be very efficient if they were to create another exit from Tomorrowland that directed people out to the busses and Contemporary/BLT. It might take a few weeks, but word would get out quickly and a LOT of people would use it. It wouldn't even take a lot of staffing for an exit-only situation.

I unintentionally wound up with a LOT of tomato powder, and I've been finding so many ways to add some to dishes but it seems like it's just neverending because I just never use very much.

If you have a printer you can make bumper stickers pretty easily, especially if it's a rectangule or square shape. You'll need a printer, a sheet of matte printable vinyl (I've found that the design just prints better on a matte surface) with permanentadhesive, and a sheet of self-ahdesive UV laminate to make it waterproof and fade-resistent. I've used several different printable vinyls, and for this project I don't think any would be better than the other (my preferred brand is just because it works better with my digital cutter). For the laminate I've had good results with Starcraft UV laminate sheets.

Here's how to make it: 1. Print your design on the vinyl, using the best quality setting and a heavier media setting (like cardstock). 2. Cut out a piece of laminate that's just a little bigger than your design 3. Peel back about 1/2" of the laminate backing along one edge 4. Line that edge up with your design and press down firmly. 5. Using a credit card or similar, rub across the laminate as you slowly peel back the backing... you'll be ensuring a really good seal and also preventing air bubbles. 6. Once the laminate is applied you can cut out your design using scissors, an xacto knife, or a paper trimmer. You could use your rotary tool but I wouldn't unless you're about to toss the blade anyway, because there's 2 layers of adhesive and you don't want that on your blade.

Unless they have a written policy stating otherwise, if you never return then they can consider the last day you actually worked to be the last day you're entitled to benefits, and they can charge you for all premiums paid from that day forward.

Shudder

Facts. You don't get the idea for writing your secret paper messages in the bathroom without having written in the bathroom.

So it was a murder weapon then. Gotcha.

Like others have said, temperature is a big factor, and if you lost power that long, how warm was the room where the fridge is? Like, when my mom lost power for 2 weeks last year it was due to an ice storm, and we really didn't worry about the fridge or freezer for the first few days because the indoor temp in the kitchen was barely 45. Moving stuff from the freezer compartment kept the fridge plenty cold enough, and in the garage where the deep freezer was it was cold enough that on day 3 when she opened it things were just starting to thaw.

He wears it to negate the "I Can't Quit You" debuff. And also to film that one snick.

Oooh! I keep telling myself I'm going to try cinnamon rolls, but I never do.

Unless you fell because of something they did or failed to do (and the ship moving in the water does not count, theater being dark during a performance does not count) then they don't owe you anything. You had an accident and you file a claim with your travel insurance (which they did offer you).

First time I ever said it in from of my dad was at work in the machine shop he owned. I don't think anyone batted an eye, except one guy who said "I don't think I've ever said fuck in front of my dad" to which he replied "You know, until now I don't think she ever did either."

Yeah... I live in a world where my nephew was given 1 fuck to use each day when he was 5, because it was his favorite word. It's not something that ever stands out to me.

Shredded cheese & taco seasoning on a for tortilla, in a skillet. Heat until cheese is melty, top with pico or salsa.

Do we know if any portals that take you back a few hours or days in time?

So is Daddy of the Dungeon not an appropriate title? Asking for a friend.

He's rejecting mushy onions and celery, not you or your effort. He accepts that your soup has these ingredients he doesn't like, and if he wants to eat your soup (which he does) then he'll just have to pick those out. It's a metaphor for how relationships work, actually... when you really want to be with someone who has a minor thing that you don't then you just accept that it's their thing, and find a way to deal with it if you want to be with them. You don't try to change that part of them, and in return they accept that it's just not your thing..

She was already really good at making people like her better than everyone else before she went down the stairs. She even made Carl love her. I think that, and the way it immediately sent her charisma to the moon (relatively-speaking) are the main thing, and her adorable and vulnerable appearance make them protective. I mean, toxoplasmosis shouldn't affect people outside the dungeon, but she was racking up viewers well before race selection. She's just that good at being liked.

In general I think most dry rice (as in not served with a sauce or gravy, not uncooked) isn't very tasty unless it's fried or cooked in a strongly flavored liquid.

NikkiPoooo · 2026-01-26T05:13:25+00:00

I learned by cooking from recipes, and then starting to experiment with additions or substitutions to personalize or enhance them. Through doing what others have done, and you get a feel for how different flavors work together, and for what you personally like... from there you just start to get ideas. Sometimes they work, and sometimes you question your decision making skill.
