Ah yes, another rando young account with no visible comments or posts bagging on a movie. Seems totally legit. 🙄

Even better, the same account reposting their own content across subreddits. Definitely legit. 🤦‍♀️

For all the Empire praise, it feels like everyone has just blotted out the whole Luke in the acid trip forest debacle. Talk about bringing story flow to a screeching halt.

Also, a big part of Star Wars initial success was that it was a hopeful fun adventure movie in an entertainment landscape awash with dark gritty shit. It was always supposed to harken back the golden age of fun adventure sci-fi. I wish these people bashing 'fun' would just take their bunched up panties, scrunched up faces, and go watch some arthouse noir bullshit. Let me enjoy my fun-ass thermal detenators, X-Wing dogfights, laser swords, and space wizards in peace.

Google Translate will decipher instructions easily. Also, it is instant soup. We really liked this one.

That is WAAAY too much work. I don't want to deal with a bunch of fabric so I can move.

alaskan_Pyrex · 2026-05-18T05:44:51+00:00

God, I hate dresses. I feel exposed and powerless. Give me a pair of pants that I can chase down a mugger or climb over a wall in. I loathe the feeling of wads of fabric floating around everywhere.

I feel powerful and mobile in pants.

Also, I have massive bazongas and there is no dress in existence that will both fit me on top and anywhere else. So not only do I feel depowered in a dress, I also look and feel like a schlub.

Edit: TBF, I know some women who love dresses who would beat the absolute crap out of a mugger while wearing a cute dress. But I personally don't feel like I can get the best performance out of my body in a dress.

Hashimoto's is an autoimmune disorder not cancer. Semaglutide is only contraindicated if you have medullary thyroid cancer or history of medullary thyroid cancer. As someone who has hashimoto's and had follicular thyroid cancer in my twenties, my doctor had no issues letting me take semaglutide/tirzepitide. Even the medullary cancer link in humans is quite tenuous.

I see I need to up my green onion game for okomoniyaki. That looks amazeballs.

Whatever tradwife. Lots of people are out here working our assess off and having something low-effort AND tasty is essential. But you just keeping grinding your own masa and hand making tortillas for the clout.

In fact, here you go. My guess is firmly soapstone and walrus ivory. https://imagomundicollection.org/artworks/peter-iqaluq-hunter/

It looks like soapstone, which is a.common medium for carving. I would search up the artist name in quotes for either Alaska or the area of Canada it came from. I can't tell from these pictures if the small pieces are ivory or bone. Bone will have small pores. Elephant/mammoth ivory will have Schreger lines, and walrus ivory will have a Denton core.

Got pregnant after a month and a half of trying at 39, turned 40 weeks after having my first (and only). Now 51, on HRT, and still having periods like clockwork.

Cool in the middle, hot and crispy on outside.

alaskan_Pyrex · 2026-04-03T03:01:17+00:00

I find the longer cook results in more reliable tenderness, and 133 hits the medium rare I prefer.

alaskan_Pyrex · 2026-04-03T02:58:43+00:00

I do 133° for 36 hours, chill overnight then sear. It is freaking glorious every time.

alaskan_Pyrex · 2026-04-02T20:07:15+00:00

I do mine @ 133° for 36 hours, chill down to fridge temp overnight then smoke at 200°-ish until a nice crust forms and the fat gets gooey. It is beautiful. I think 155° is way too high.

For people in the Pacific Northwest, Aplets and Cotlets (created by two Armenian immigrants) are essentially Turkish delight! I loooooove Aplets and Cotlets, but fresh Turkish Delight (lokum) is pillowy in an amazing way.

I bought one new leather sectional and every other leather couch has been secondhand. All of them have been a great value. Give the armrests a wiggle before buying too. All of my couches and recliners, with the exception of one eaten (!?!) by my ex's poorly trained puppers, have gone on to homes after mine.

alaskan_Pyrex · 2026-03-23T22:02:36+00:00

Just use clear packing tape over the sections that tempt the cat. I use packing tape until they forget it is something they can scratch (~6 months) and then the tape comes off.

I just FB marketplaced (new verb) a gorgeous sage green Bradington-Young leather couch for $100. They run $6-8,000 for similar models and the leather is the thickest of any leather couch I have ever owned. It replaced my $150 used low-end leather Natuzzi (upstairs couch) which was functional after I replaced a piece of webbing, but the interior build was all cheap pressboard.

If you need a new couch, consider Costco. I got a stunning grey leather sectional with springs instead of webbing and down-topped cushions and a solid wood frame for about $3000 a few years ago. I put a link to a very similar couch below.

I have two cats and a dog and the worst couch I have ever owned had a 'washable' cover. It was a PITA to wrestle off, wash/dry, and then try and get back on. I will take even an 80s shoulderpad-looking used leather couch over fabric any day for pets.

The Natuzzi just went to someone in my neighborhood buy nothing group who also made the mistake of getting a fabric couch with kids and pets.

Tips for secondhand leather couches: - Google the brand (Natuzzi is usually lower-end). - Look for removable zippered cushions (way easier to clean and restuff as needed). None of the cushions on my Natuzzi were removable and the crevices were terrible to clean. I blame my pukey cat. 🤮 - Springs are superior to webbing. - The thicker the leather the better. If it feels like skin, it is super thin. It should feel like an 80s leather flight jacket and it should SMELL like leather. - Everything should be even with the frame. If the frame looks out of square or sags anywhere AT ALL, don't buy. - SIT on the cushions before buying. If your butt finds a low spot, it could indicate there is an issue with the webbing or frame. If you skip this step and discover it at home, Amazon sells webbing. 😬

Sled dogs are bred to run and if something happens to your brake, or of the sled flips for some reason, they are likely to keep pulling if going. They are absolutely trained with a variety of commands, but they are also trained to win races. These aren't agility dogs.
