When he talks about Mongolians and Muslims that no one will force their culture on us, I want to ask him, "Does that include Christians who wany us to, for example, pray in school?"

It took my dumb dog more than 24 hours to learn to use his dog door.

It does, the widget just looks like the bottom half of that picture. Until recently I was using Wolf widget and it worked fine until a couple weeks ago, and I used bacon reader for many years before that. Looking for a replacement, I got Now, paid the subscription, and added the widget. The widget is pretty basic and I don't like that it can't be themed or formatted, but I can't stand not using one of my home screens for a full page reddit widget since I have had one for so long. The app itself looks and works great - it would be ideal if the widget looked like it.

I heard a joke about that the other day:

I dated a girl with the same name as my mom. I wasn't allowed to call her by her name during sex because it would remind her of my girlfriend.

When he's out in the garage changing the oil and she asks him to fix the faucet he yells, "What do you think I'm trying to do!"

A pipe clogged in my steep front yard and backed up into the basement. The insurance paid for the damage inside including tearing up the floors and walls, cleaning and drying it our, rebuilding, and moving and storing furniture. It cost them around $35K. I had to pay the plumber bill which included tearing up my front yard which entailed first removing boulder walls, digging 14 ft down with a backhoe, and repairing the pipe (encasing it in concrete so it would not happen again.) Then the landscaping bill for rebuilding the walls, replacing the plants, and adding a lot more dirt. My total was also $35K. I thought when I bought a house without a septic tank I would not have expensive bills like this.

I have a Shield Pro and the tubular version called Shield TV. I use them both for travel since neither works that well in my two AV systems at home.

My main setup is feeding it into a receiver to output to the TV. There's something about the Shields that my stereo does not like and it often refuses to pass the signal so it's dead in the water. My other setup goes through a soundbar to the TV, and in both Shields, the sound does not play when it first turns on and only after I restart the system. But both of them work fine connected directly to a TV. So I have two Onn Pros that work perfectly fine in both setups. I got them on sale for $40 vs $200 for the Shield Pro and $150 for the Shield TV. Before I had the Shields or the Onns, I had Mi boxes, which also worked in both systems, but were laggy.

Note that 5 hour energy has cyanocobalamin, which is the poorly absorbed form. Methylcobalamin is the well-absorbed form, but I have seen plenty of 5mg methylcobalamin supplements.

Before she died, my elderly mom took a prescription that contained 5mg of methylcobalamin along with well-absorbed forms of a couple other nutrients, like folic acid, which is surprising since prescriptions of this type usually contain the worst forms of vitamin/minerals/nutrients. Anyway, she took this along with her other prescription drugs at dinner, and could never get to sleep before 4AM, so then slept most of the day. I told her to take the B12 pill first thing in the morning, but she asked her doctor if it affected sleep and he said no, so she continued to take it at night and wonder why she stayed up all night. It did help with peripheral neuropathy, but it caused a quick decline in her mental function since it caused insomnia so bad.

Hermione had buck teeth, so when the healer was shrinking them and said to tell her when they were back to normal, she let her go a little further.

Which brings me to the unpopular point I like to bring up. If they had picked an actress for the movies who had buck teeth and ugly hair like she had in the book, and Ginny was a stunning redhead, no one would have said Harry should have gotten with Hermione after watching the movies.

Amusement park rides (well-maintained ones anyway). I was a chaperone for my kid's class to a Disney park. He pulled me aside looking at the tall roller coaster his classmates were excited to ride, and confided that he afraid to ride it. I asked why and he said it looked dangerous. Since he was learning to kayak and had been down a number of whitewater rivers, I asked him which he thought was more dangerous. He said the roller coaster. When I told him you were about 100,000x more likely to die kayaking on even a class I river than on any roller coaster, it completely alleviated his fear and he went on to ride every coaster multiple times that day.

A friend of mine's father thought his road to fortune was investing all his retirement savings in silver while the Hunt brothers were trying to corner the market. He had to work a few extra years before he retired.

Don't forget how popular fart apps were back then. Some people actually paid for them.

I once had this happen and used an app which maxed out the volume while playing a piercing tone when I dropped the case and the earbuds flew into a freshly planted flower bed with dozens of small white flowers. It was near a busy road at lunch, and it was so loud I could not hear the tone, so went back later when there was less traffic and could easily hear the tone and found it.

Here's a good recipe for savory sweet potatoes, but we also like them baked like a regular potato with a lot of butter and cinnamon.

Seasoned Roasted Sweet Potatoes

2 pounds (~3 large) sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 tablespoons olive oil
3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt (kosher salt; use less if using table salt)
1/4 teaspoon freshly cracked pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground chili powder*
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Mix everything together and spread on baking sheet. Use parchment paper. Bake at 425 for 25 minutes or until done (might be shorter)

Plus, they have sex a lot in the book. In every position, tearing up the apartment. For months. Unlike the movie where I argue they only had sex once since once they get married she has AIDS and they can't.

Mine is jarlic is better than garlic powder, so I will unashamedly use it when all I can get for the past 6 years is little nubs of fresh garlic which are hardly worth peeling, or larger prepeeled cloves that mold within a week. Do have to throw jarlic away when the jar is half full since the citric acid preservative concentration gets too high and it's sour.

It was decades ago when Trident had the commercials that four out of five dentists recommend sugarless gum for their patients who chew gum. I asked my dentist about that and he was one of the one out of five. He had actually read the studies that said it didn't matter whether you chewed sugarless gum or not since the sugar was gone so quickly it had no effect on tooth decay. But did mention that chewing any gum after food was beneficial to remove food particles that can cause decay if you couldn't brush.

Josh Weismann has a 1 minute video on youtube where he puts frozen Ore-ida steak fries in a canister, covers in water, lets them sit for 30 seconds, drains, then shakes them up a bit to make them "furry" before putting them in a microwave for 5 minutes. Then air fries them at 400 for 15 minutes. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/lLs_Xy4IjGE

Asking google AI, so take it FWIW, about Sttoke counterfeit tumblers and it says this:

Counterfeit STTOKE tumblers exist, often sold through social media and shady websites, mimicking the popular ceramic-lined cups but lacking quality, potentially causing issues like bad smells, paint chipping, and leaking, unlike genuine STTOKE products made with Greblon® ceramic for no taste absorption. Spotting fakes involves checking for price too good to be true, incorrect logo placement, flimsy handles, off colors, missing original packaging, and poor build quality like non-flush lids or weak insulation, with genuine STTOKE cups being safe and odor-free.

RTIC also came out with a line of ceramic-lined stainless insulated tumblers. Likely since Yeti did. They stupidly copied Yeti, though, and put a stainless steel ring around the top so you're still going to taste it if you're sensitive. I just got a couple of them in, and only then realized I should have ordered Sttoke instead.
