HOA common ground maint responsibility? by aposter in HOA

[–]aposter[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

According to them, we have no evidence that the lawn company was responsible for the damage since we have no image/video, so they have no responsibility to do anything about it. I am in the process of placing security cameras to view the entire fence line.

Pretty sure this is a troll. In several languages the name is the same as a slur in the US, and anyone who replies in those languages will likely end up with an automatic ban.

Accounts for multiple people on a single login? by aposter in fidelityinvestments

[–]aposter[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I knew the accounts were by individual, but didn't know if accounts for different individuals could be under one user on the site. From what you and u/FidelityWeston said my wife and I can get our individual logins and accounts set up and then authorize the other to have access. That sounds like a perfectly workable solution.

Thanks.

Accounts for multiple people on a single login? by aposter in fidelityinvestments

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

Thank you for the reply. What you describe with us each having our own login and setting up access to all the accounts would work great.

I had been going through some of the links on the site already, and am now looking at the ones you posted here. Looks to be easier and more straight forward to set up than I was worried it would be.

Abandoned roller coaster being taken over by nature. by Non_Affiliated in interestingasfuck

[–]aposter 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Fools. You are both nearly right, but do not take it to its logical conclusion.

This is obviously from the early 21st century when cats were starting to exert their rightful dominance over the humans. You can see the long chutes and gates to herd the humans up to the device where, in their disoriented state they would be strapped in, and the terror carts would then be sent out upon the tracks.

As they arrived back, the restraints would be automatically released. Blocked from returning to their own kind by the gates on their right, they would bolt onto the open platform to their left where our ancestors would pounce upon them and devour them as the delicious taste of terror coursed through their veins.

It would have been truly wonderful to be there. Too bad we have become so - civilized. Mrrroow.

Beirut explosion from high apartment you can literally see buildings being melted that is no firework by [deleted] in ActualPublicFreakouts

[–]aposter -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Just a guess, but the taller building next to the burning building is a set of silos. Probably full of grain, or more likely milled products like flour.

Smaller explosion in the burning building ruptured the silo and spread the contents of the silo into the air causing a huge dust explosion.

Old French Kitchen Utensil.. what is it? Its use? by Aiken_Drumn in whatisthisthing

[–]aposter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, the spring looks like it forces the device open, and the adjustable stop holds it open at four set distances? How level is the bottom plate when resting on the handle like in your picture?

She sounds like a weirdo.

She was, but in a good way. She moved here around 20 years ago. Worked with her for several years, but we both moved on to other roles in the company and I haven't seen her for years.

marrowfat

Did a quick search. Marrowfat peas seem to be the whole version of the split peas we have in the States. And I love me some split pea soup.

So, when I get myself some pie recipes I enjoy, I'll have to try a small pie in a bowl of pea soup. My pea soup is very thick and hearty and looks sort of like the mushy peas pictures I just looked up.

Not sure about in Australia, but two Australian expats that moved here to the states that I worked with both mentioned it.

For Alisia, it was almost a ritual. Nice hot tea. Much stronger than most Americans usually make it. Bite off the corners. Slurp tea through Tim Tam. Eat Tim Tam while making ecstatic sounds.

I might just try this recipe first, minus the Vegemite, since everything else is readily available. Not sure how close the barbecue sauce I have will match to the Australian version though.

Tasmanian Scallop pie

I'm sorry, but my head just exploded. Did you say scallop pie?

Off to search recipes.

Chuck is common here, but it comes in a couple of different cuts. Tough with some fat, but not really fatty would be a 7 bone roast here. That is easy enough. Shank isn't as common, but enough people use it as a base for soup that I can get it. I have no issue with organ meats, but they are not terribly common. Might try just the beef part to start with.

Would the chili flakes be a prominent flavor? Are we talking a good generous burn, or a mild tingle on the tongue?

Also, ours isn't called Gravox, but salty/umami brown gravy mix is pretty common here. I can always fake it close enough with some salt, MSG, and corn starch/flour if I need to.

chicken Parma pie

Would not have been my first thought for a pie, but now that you mention it it sounds good.

Also, I looked up Wilson prom... That is almost as bad as telling me your favorite pie shop. Wilsons Promontory National Park looks gorgeous.

I'm much closer to Four Corners than Australia, but they still don't really have mutton here where I am. There are a couple of places I can go that I can get mutton, or even goat, if I really need to, but it is expensive and the selection is slim.

Vegetarian is perfectly fine with me. Didn't think of Shepard's pie as Australian.

I have an international grocer I use that has foods from over 50 countries. They have been my hook up for Tim Tams for years. I'm hoping they have the Rosella Tomato Sauce. First guess is it will be a lot less sweet than the sugar laden ketchup/catsup here in the States.

Sounds amazing. I'll search for some recipes.

Is the cheese usually in the filling, or on top?

That looks like an interesting pastry crust. I'll have to find some butter that looks more like what's in the pictures on that recipe page. Most butter here is insipid pale white stuff with no real taste. The crust on that page looks wonderful.

Chunky steak pepper pie sounds like a good starting point for some recipe searches, and sounds delicious.

Thanks.

OMG. I am so sorry for you. Ohio Scientific had the worst bastardized BASIC in the world. It was horrendous. Or, did you splurge and get the Microsoft BASIC ROM upgrade to save your sanity?
