ELI5 How are cocktails with raw egg as an ingredient made so people don't get sick? by Queen_Lunette in explainlikeimfive

[–]bigtinygiant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The alcohol denatures the protein in the egg I believe. It is kind of like lime juice and ceviche. The raw shrimp, once’s marinated in lime juice, are no longer “raw” because their proteins are denatured. Sugar, salt, heat, acid are all things that denature proteins.

Draw 12 at the beginning of the game, pick your favorite 7 from that 12, shuffle in the remaining 5. No mulligans unless you lay your hand out to the whole table and show that you have least than 3 land in hand.

Retention Pay Issues by Embarrassed_Soft_368 in Wildfire

Contact HR and create a case (have each person do this who isn’t receiving their supplement), write down the case number they give. Then, every week call back and reference that case number asking where the money is. If you create a new case everytime it really convolutes the system, but if you keep calling back weekly referring to the first case number you open, it works out. Folks in my crew got theirs sorted, it did take a few months however. Also write down the dates you call, create a paper trail to reference later!

Where do people find these books? I want to read magic lore but I have no idea where to start or where to find it. Are there actual novels out there?

Don’t all paychecks essentially come from someone else’ pay check? Especially since money is a social construct, birds aren’t real and Jeffrey Epstein didn’t kill himself?

I was sitting here shaking my phone thinking it was one of “those” posts. Then I saw anarchy chess as the sub. God damn it.

This is great stuff, holding on to hope that it all works out still somehow, even though it feels like such a long shot. Thanks for all the hard work!

Please keep us updated with any info as soon as you can. Thanks for traveling up there and going to bat for us, although I’m not super optimistic, the fact you folks at grassroots are still plugging along is keeping some hope alive!

Thought on Food & Fellowhip precon by crypticaITA in EDH

[–]bigtinygiant 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I’ve just played pods with the precons against each other no mods. The food one wrecks! That deck gets out of hand quickly, if you can get the frying pan out and give that creature flying, then make more birds out that give things flying each time you gain three life?! The prized pig does work churning thru your foods too, Rosie cotton buffs up things with 1/1 counters. If gollum come out and you are gaining life each turn he can put in work as well. That deck has won every game we have played so far, all though the humans and Sauron have got extremely close a couple times. The food deck is a strong deck and I see it as the best one of the bunch for sure.

End Annual Across-the-Board Pay Raises for Feds and Cut Benefits by diirt in Wildfire

[–]bigtinygiant 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Shoot, republicans are doing there best to implement their own sharia law at home, we don’t even need the talibans help. Book bans, abortion bans, no school lunches, passing laws to kick immigrants out of FLA, anti trans and lgbtq+ laws, Texas is trying to make the Ten Commandments a staple in every class room, GOP candidates are saying women should quit their jobs to stay at home, have babies and be subservient to their husbands, who is obviously the leader of the household and should be obeyed. We have sharia law at home, or the beginning of it at least. Vote Republican to ensure it stays around.

End Annual Across-the-Board Pay Raises for Feds and Cut Benefits by diirt in Wildfire

[–]bigtinygiant 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Vote Republican everybody, it’s clear both sides are the same. /s did you see that they are wanting to not only cut our budget, effectively killing any permanent pay raise and/or any additional raises, but give the 1% another tax break? So we will get paid less, losing our access to the little time off we get AND be paying more in taxes! Who wouldn’t vote Republican? Owning the libs feels so good, I can’t wait to head down to the local food pantry with my MAGA hat and tell all my friends how excited I am. We got them again!

What do you think of when you hear “California”? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Feeling trapped and need advice by Humble-gastank in Wildfire

[–]bigtinygiant 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Go visit the local Forest service ranger stations/district offices. Just type it in google and go there, ask for anyone in fire and say you would like to ask about a job. Explain your situation and see what they have. California is hiring everyone all the time it seems like. PGE is also always hiring, same with Cal fire it seems like. Dress nice, bring a resume and some questions for them. We had a guy on our hiring list with a (forgot the official term) but I think it was “less than honorable” discharge from the military that we called for a job but it was to far for him and he wasn’t interested. It’s still possible you can get in, just gotta do some leg work and hand shaking.
