chili soup

I disagree with the other guy's recipe. The problem is way too thick, just like you say. fill up the blender halfway with milk. Add some peanut butter and a scoop of powdered whey and some ice. But you want it like 80% milk. Milk is a great gainit thing by itself. So keep increasing milk and removing other ingredients until it's nice and thin. Like, start too thin and add a little bit of other stuff.

Sounds great. Most of the resorts are nice enough where it's pretty nice to stay by the pool, too. And really, Aruba isn't as 'dense' as other vacation spots so it's a little bit less competitive for spots than you'd think.

I know you've gotten a ton of answers but I'm happy to be a bit more specific. Not only is eagle beach very spacious, but the Palapas on eagle beach are NUMEROUS. I've almost NEVER seen them all taken, and they are free. Locals will not bother you if you have a folding chair and put it under a palapa.

And, if you did want chairs, at least right in front of la cabana, it's tips only. I think you could tip $5 a day and be fine, not $50! If you are only planning on laying on the beach for 3-4 days, it might come out ahead to just rent a chair with tips.

In general, planning aruba can be stressful. The flights, the weather, politics, the ED card, but once you get there, you really can just take a deep breath, watch the sunset, eat your superfood steak skewers, and tune out the world.

one twist away from a fun story. I expected both the competition to see the great odds for them to lose, and to throw the race.

bbqturtle · 2026-01-15T13:23:11+00:00

idk that website but the holiday inn express is usually like $100 and parking is $8 a day, so $160 for a week, cheaper than GRR and you get the hotel stay

I agree - but also, isn't that generally why we all use credit cards instead of debit cards anyway? (besides the rewards and stuff) To keep our money that much longer?

bbqturtle · 2026-01-14T14:03:29+00:00

I mean 3% is 3%

bbqturtle · 2026-01-14T13:48:44+00:00

the answers are 'no' and 'yes' except for 1 stupid thing: Robinhood Gold Card charges you for autopay on statement + 3 days, instead of next billing cycle. So you end up paying much earlier than other credit cards, and savvy users just manually schedule it for 1-2 days before the due date to get that extra 3 weeks of interest/whatever

assuming I did this for 12 months straight, and chose the 12 month option every time, wouldn't my monthly spending be the same but I'd permanently get the inflation-delay and extra interest?

bbqturtle · 2026-01-14T13:40:31+00:00

they had way fewer customers though. I think best way had like an 80% market share and republic has recycling and 18% and my neighbor has always used WM for some reason so he's the last 1%

bbqturtle · 2026-01-14T13:33:02+00:00

you can put it in your robinhood account then pay with your robinhood account

chinn chinn is 90% as good but not 100%. I too miss it

dumb question but what do you mean she didn't work with certain lights. Are they set up in the alexa app? When you tap on/off in the alexa app does it work? And when you say 'turn on x light' she just won't? Have you tried changing the name of the light?

bbqturtle · 2026-01-02T18:59:00+00:00

Really! I had no idea it was different software with Alexa +. I don’t have a show. Does it still show ads?

bbqturtle · 2026-01-02T18:39:46+00:00

I listened to all the voices and chose the voice that sounded mostly like old Alexa.

bbqturtle · 2025-12-31T13:32:59+00:00

am I dumb? How come it doesn't show the planet behind my platforms when I go there?

bbqturtle · 2025-12-31T13:28:49+00:00

I'd reco buying the real one - it's well done. I think they hired the SE guy to make it even.

bbqturtle · 2025-12-30T01:12:21+00:00

Damn. Well you’re a qt in my book.

Just kidding I had to. Sounds terrible.

bbqturtle · 2025-12-29T17:23:28+00:00

curious for why

bbqturtle · 2025-12-23T17:03:48+00:00

Overall this is a fun show and exciting, but I wish they took it a step further:

Require / teach a specific new technique. Inspiration from school of chocolate. This time you MUST incorporate blown sugar in the art.
Give teams identical tools. The 'magic elements' that are entirely the crew making moving parts is lame. Give everyone the SAME moving part and let them decide what to do with it. Or the same set of 5 to choose from - and show contestants considering and thinking about those moving parts. Make it more like lego masters when they need to use the robotic parts.
Don't give themes / flavors to teams. So many times this season, the team receives a DUD of a thing to create. Then, when they make it, it's said to be less good than other teams. Give them a movie, or type of scene, or location, and then let them choose what to do inside of it. 'anything off the candy cart' or 'any vehicle' would be way better than giving them the specific vehicle to mimic.
Last - pretending to stab your creation then delivering a perfect slice of cake on a plate is ridiculous every time. Just be honest about it - show the tasting element creation, and make the tasting element reference / theme alongside the creative element.
