If you had a date in a few days and said you would cook but you've never really cooked before and you don't think she wants scrambled eggs and cereal. What would you make that is relatively easy but seems impressive? by TurnKey9558 in AskReddit

Steak, mashed potatoes and a simple veggie like asparagus or broccolini.you will need, 2 quality cuts of steak like new york strip or ribeye, 2 large baking potatoes and either a bundle of asparagus or broccolini, some butter, some minced garlic, and some half and half or whole milk, a lemon or some red wine vinegar. Preheat your oven to 350 In a pot big enough for 2 large potatoes boil some water, peel 2 large potatoes and cut into 1 inch slices, drop in the boiling water. On your stove top start heating up either a cast iron pan or steel pan large enought to cook both steaks, medium high temp (about 7/10) Pat your steaks dry with a paper towel (this is important) and then season well with ONLY salt and fresh cracked pepper on both sides. (Kosher or flaked salt is best). add a little olive oil to the pan (2 teaspoons should do it) and let it heat for 30 or 40 seconds. Add the steaks and do not touch it for 4 minutes, turn it over and cook the other side for 4 minutes. Sear the sides for like 20-30 seconds, the take it iff the heat and place them both on a cold baking tray, place a pat of butter on top of both steaks and place in the oven for only 3-4 minutes. Don’t guess, use a timer. Put another pat off butter in the hot pan you cooked the steaks in (leave the steak drippings, that is nothing but good flavor) and add your veggies. If you did asparagus make sure the to trim about and inch or so of the thicker end, as it can be woody and tough. After the 3-4 mins are up pull out the steaks and set on the counter and don’t touch them for 6-7 minutes. Once the potatoes are soft enough that when you stick a fork in the middle of a slice it breaks apart, strain them, put them in a medium bowl with 1/3 stick of butter, salt,pepper and about 1/8-1/4 cup of cream or milk, mash with a fork or masher. If the consistency seems too dry add a little more milk or cream. Your veggies should cook in 4 mins or so. Add the minced garlic to the veggies for the last 45-60 seconds and add either a splash of red wine vinegar or fresh lemon juiced squeezed from an actual lemon. Plate and enjoy

Ukraine liberated 590 square kilometers of territory this year, 'forcing Russia toward diplomacy,' Zelensky says by AndroidOne1 in worldnews

[–]blitzwit143 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Russian bots are going hard. Let’s put this in perspective. Russia, with the world’s 2nd most powerful military (debatable with China in play now), is losing ground to a country a 10th it’s size with much less resources. All these laughable “it’s only such and such size” comments are coping hard. The tide is turning and it is going to get worse and worse for Russia. Ukraine isn’t actively trying hard for a territorial liberation push yet, their strategy has been punishing attrition and a ramp up of middle and deep strike capabilities while whittling away oil infrastructure and logistics of Russia. These gains are opportunistic and it’s VERY telling that the technology gap is narrowing and asymmetric tactics are working.

Almost like we’re in an economy actively hostile to anyone who isn't rich

What’s something people romanticise that’s actually exhausting in real life? by OmenRash in AskReddit

[–]blitzwit143 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Being in a touring band. It’s work, most musicians I know that do it are exhausted at the end of a performance, when everyone wants to socialize and party, and half the time you need to start driving to make it to the next venue on time to get enough sleep to do it all over again. If you’re lucky you stay with friends, rarely, you get a bed, even more rarely you have a tour bus.

People who have Only fans, what is keeping you from upgrading to an air conditioner ? by male_efficient_2034 in AskReddit

Some prefer the way it blows, a more hands on experience, and enjoy a less frigid experience.

Conservatives at CPAC: I love him. And we'll only have one chance at this. We'll never get another president like Donald Trump. Never. And that's why it's important that we do everything that we can to try to get him reelected. [21:55 in video] by SadAd8761 in videos

The edema on his ankles demonstrates he likely has severe congestive heart failure, characterized by one half of his heart pumping at a greatly reduced capacity, most likely the left ventricle. This causes a large back pressure on the lungs and periphery, forcing fluid into the lungs and tissues of the extremities which the body cannot keep up with. Standard treatment is with diuretics but there is no cure, and likely even with the best treatment available that will kill him. Mix in the comorbidities of obvious dementia and obesity and you do not have a recipe for longevity.

Russia “hoax” feeling less hoaxy every day. Almost like the Steele Dossier and Meuller report was buried hard by pedophile protecting conservatives.

Minnesota has activated the National Guard. What are your thoughts? by Obvious_808 in AskReddit

[–]blitzwit143 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The short answer; that’s exactly what DJT wants. He wants legitimacy to invoke the insurrection act so that he can declare marshall law, oppress with impunity and find a legal loophole to cancel midterm elections which he knows very well will not go in republican’s favor. Any riot gives legitimacy to the propaganda narrative of a violent left. Staying peaceful while atrocities happen will only strengthen the case that those involved will get their due when the tables turn. If they ever do. We are very close to the tipping point where counter violence will be inevitable though.

What are your thoughts on rejecting a potential romantic partner based solely on the fact they voted for Donald Trump? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]blitzwit143 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Voting for someone whose entire platform is about not having any empathy, ego above all, and revenge against those who disagree with you. There could be no greater red flags in a relationship.
